[Josuke is great at dividing his attention...when the stakes are high. Clearly not evidenced by the way he's performing now which is, while not especially clumsy, certainly lacking in efficiency. The amount of energy he's wasting is considerable, far more than one might want to expend if they planned on competing versus another player for any length of time. Some steps are too wide, others too hard, although it does seem he's doing well enough to pass for now. With a few more misses than he would like...
That quickly begins to change when Genda's score is on the rise, however. And the number of times he stumbles or stops only increases when the younger boy's playing begins to draw a couple of spectators.
Maybe it's the hilarity of a first time player beating a regular on a practice round, or maybe the sheer focus of Genda's steps is the real lure. Josuke can't be sure, and thinking about it too much is hurting his own playing. But it's hard not to consider when he's already seen just how seriously the other boy takes literally everything else he does.
And that gives him an idea, maybe even one that'll get some kind of a reaction! Or so he hopes.
There's no warning when it comes...his longer leg allowing him to quickly reach over and slam a foot down on the nearest pad of Genda's side to interrupt his rhythm.]
