( part of learning is getting to practice those skills, and accelerator isn't going to learn anything if he doesn't adjust to the feeling of his knuckles digging into someone else's body. making a fist is one thing, actually using it is something else entirely. and jason? figures there's no time like the present to learn. the momentum behind the hit would be enough to take out a normal person, but jason isn't exactly normal and he's armored up; he doesn't dodge the hit, but forces his body to go slack when it slams into him. lets his body move with the momentum instead of trying to force himself to stay upright, because it - lessens the damage.

and grins behind his mask, even if accelerator can't see it. he's half-bent forward, fingers lowering to wrap around accelerator's wrist. not too tightly, just - tight enough to hold onto him. )

Good job, kid. See? Knew you had it in you. But you're gonna want to focus more on keeping your wrist straight. More power that way.

( just as an fyi. jason's free hand raises, fingers curled into a fist. swings it towards accelerator, but - stops before it could even get close to touching him. )

Like that.
