Rai's concentration remained adamant while he dispersed the energy with a few rotations of his staff. He was pushed back a few feet and felt James' attempt to diminish his shield, but he managed to hold his sheild strong. Deciding to momentarily forgo physical combat, Rai focused his power into a ray of energy that he directed at his opponent.

Not knowing for sure how strong his opponent actually was, James opted for the more secure defense of the Empty Mind technique. In a mere fraction of a second, James had completely abandoned thought and was focusing on maintaining that state.
He felt the psychic energy was over him and then past him. The attack had caused no adverse effects because in this state, the mind was like a smooth river rock, providing no resistance so that attacks flowed right over it. Once the energy had dispersed, James grinned. "Well that was impressive," he said, his voice dripping with insincerity.
"Now let me show you one of mine." He sent a small flick of energy at Rai, just to tweak the man's defenses, and then launched a full-out barrage of mental attacks. Unless Rai pulled something quite amazing, this attack would probably paralyze him for about an hour, due to the sheer amount of mental energy that had been directed at him.

Focusing all of his being into one action, Rai slammed up his metal defenses to the strongest they had ever been. James' barrage had no effect on Rai this time, and Rai let down his barrier slightly. Thinking quickly, Rai grabbed a can of air freshener(sorry im staring at one right now and it gave me the idea) off of the nearby shelf. Making sure his own kinetic shield was in good condition, he threw it towards his opponent saying "Think fast". Toutching the potential energy within the can, he transfered it into kinetic energy very rapidly, exploding the can just before it reached James.

James felt the exertion from Rai, though he was puzzled when it was not directed at him. However, the situation was clarified a moment later when he heard the can slide off of the shelf. He quickly wrapped the projectile in a cocoon of energy while at the same time he yanked himself to the side.
Rolling to his feet, James again brought his sai to bare. He charged at Rai, throwing bursts of kinetic energy ahead of himself, targeting Rai.
