[given the fact that mineo doesn't give much warning after that, sprinting forward immediately. wow, he's fast. but he's also got the butter knife obviously glinting in his hand, catching against the light, clutched like he's about to just jab it straight into takeru's throat in a downward motion, the arc of it going wide.
it's not a bad instinct, but mineo does pivot shortly afterward, shifting his weight to try to catch after takeru, fingers curling around his tea to try to halt his movements. guess which twink is getting yanked closer just as mineo tries to stab at him again.
- of course, for the entirety of the exercise, should he actually get close, he'll stop just centimeters impact.]
Hmm, okay - well, let's start with this. In this weird place, the chances of someone coming directly at you like that from the front are pretty unlikely, unless you've got someone super sadistic.
So pay attention and listen for footsteps if you can, and just generally keep your head -
[ . . . ]
"Keep your head on a swivel. If the smallest detail seems off, trust your gut."
[he says, like he's borrowing someone else's words. even it makes him look a little pained to do so.]
... that... was the best advice I got, in Field Ops.
[takeru is so stubborn if he dies first i will lose it]
Alright.
[he steps back a few more paces]
You were right to try to get out of my direct path - if you can actually get anything to shield yourself or parry, that'd be best. But if I get close to hitting you, you gotta try to redirect my momentum - think aikido.
[then he won't waste any time - a second after takeru's done speaking, mineo slams forward again to close the distance, this time holding the knife in his hand to try to bring it downward, aiming for his face]
he'll do what he did last time, which is step out of the way. although this time, as he moves, he's going to try to grab the arm has the knife to yank it to at the very least get him unbalanced. ]
[this wouldn't work if mineo was taking this seriously.
but it's a training exercise, and so he lets some of his weight go, staggering for a second before he whirls around to try to slice as takeru again, this time in a sideways motion. the movements are still large, giving more time to react since it's just the first day - more akin to someone unskilled but angry rather than a trained cop]
[that definitely gets him to stumble - but he's just quick enough from being knocked on his ass, catching himself with his hand and throwing himself back up onto his feet]
... way to go, Takeru!
[HE SOUNDS GENUINELY IMPRESSED]
And then you could probably bolt it to put more space between you and the psycho.

there's a period of silence after, until takeru rudely steps on mineo's shoe. ]
no subject
.... come on, I just wanted to get an idea of where you're at.
[he pokes takeru just once with the butter knife before pulling back, letting go of him]
They don't give you any training at all in Cybercrimes?
no subject
[ he's trained to handle basic situations, and how to deescalate, but... ]
I just don't have extensive combat training, no.

That I know. It's the kind of thing you should tell Ichika.
no subject
[ . . . . . he shakes his head, like he's trying to physically clear it.]
But I'm also telling you! You can text me if you want me to go with you somewhere, but if you're alone, you gotta keep an eye out for yourself.

Let's just do it again.

well, in that case, he'll duck-- and get low enough that he can try to knock mineo back by then shoving his shoulders against the other's legs. ]

It would probably help if we had a better idea of what everyone's strengths are...

[he's
he's already fought with most of them or been threatened by them? okay]
Omi-san and Ashiya-san are both pretty jacked too.

And a few people came here with weapons besides you.
no subject
Oh - Oh yeah.
[ . . . . he looks over in the direction of his gun]
.... you really don't like Yuel-san?
[though that almost seems like a conversation filler]
no subject
[ yuel has just annoyed him the most here so far, other than mineo. ]
But that doesn't matter.
