The howling gale of the mountains roared around Kyoha as he clung to the side of the mountain, the deep chill of the north seeping into his bones. His whole body strained as he continued to maintain his grip, waiting for the winds to die down before continuing his climb. Gazing down, a seemingly endless fall greeted his sight. Looking back up, an alcove lay not too far away. "Just a bit further. Just a bit, and then I can rest," he mutters to himself between his chattering teeth.
One must begin to wonder why someone with proficiency with ki would even bother doing something like this. It's not as though he couldn't fly, after all. Well, that had been Kyoha's thought process on pursuing this newest bounty of his at the start, too. The mountains here on Earth are pretty easy to fly between, and there are plenty of cities nearby to retreat to if the cold gets to him.
That was 3 weeks ago, however. No matter how swiftly he rushed off towards the energy signature of his target, they would always seem to just vanish before he could even get close. It wasn't entirely unusual to find someone that owned a scouter so that they could tell if someone is coming after them, but it was something else entirely for one to freely control their ki output and be able to mask it. Your common ruffian usually doesn't even know what ki is, much less can recognize an individual's presence approaching you, mask your own, and manage to get away without leaving any obvious clues.
And so, Kyoha's had to have the great joy of minimizing his power as much as possible, to the point he can't even fly, and has had to learn how to mountain climb very quickly.
"Just...Just wait a bit longer. Once the wind's done, you can rest," he whispers, silently trying to reassure himself, hoping the words will help make him ignore the soreness in his limbs from the strain of keeping the wind from ripping him off of the mountain. It didn't work.
