[A cool hand wraps around Scott's wrist, Douman's voice an ethereal purr right next to his ear. He is cheating again, having used the divine magic of Diving Step to cross the distance between him and the teen in less than a breath, and layering the presence-concealing effect of his own youkai magic at full power on top of it. The end result is hopefully something that makes him seem like an all-powerful ghost - an entity who can break the laws of the normal world as he pleases, so overwhelmingly powerful that the very idea of messing with him seems ridiculous. It's all a mere bluff, of course. Just a psychological warfare meant to get away with audacity and cheap street magician's tricks, shrouded in tons of bluster and plunder.
If one were to know what Douman does, they'd easily see that it's all just basic moves, exercised with centuries of experience in fighting smart rather than hard. All that just to impress a single potential pupil and make him seem a good choice for an ally.]
