Jikan's eyes stayed glued on the heavy weighted fight before her as she closed in on the distance between the two of them. Her body was shrunken, positioned in a way that could only be explained as a running boxing stance. Her hands were stilled raised and closed, positioned in a close guarded boxing stance, her right hand protecting her chest and organs while her left hand was slightly lower, guarding her stomach and lower abdomen. She had speed, she knew that for a fact, but the topic of strength was unknown to her. With the size of the man and the sword he wielded, she would not be surprised if a solid punch from him was stronger than her strikes or that a slash from his sword could cause more internal damage. Blunt verses slash after all.
She watched and noted the red haired man preparing to re-engage with Jikan. His eyes looked down momentarily at the dented shield before tossing it to the side. The metal banged on the ground before sliding down near the shoreline of the river. The matter of if it would simply sit there in the edge, fall into the water, or down the stream was something that Jikan did not concern herself on. Her match up for today was now present with one less defensive piece of armor. The shield held in his left hand was now gone, and the area that he had was now a slight percentage easier to get to, hopefully. Time would tell.
Her initial running made the distance between the two close, closing the distance from 13.5 meters to 7.25 in one second. The man was being careful, positioning his blade in front of him as a weapon and a shield. Looking closer at the blade now, Jikan saw that the blade combined with it's hilt, was about 1 meter long, the blade itself being .7 meters long. With the man's arm length, he had at least a .7 meter reach advantage over Jikan who's range was only as long as her 1 meter arms.
Knux walked forward, his eyes on her legs as he did so. She could not blame him, she had strong and gorgeous legs, any rational man would take the chance to observe them. Besides that funny thought, Jikan knew the real reason, he was planning something, perhaps a strike at her legs to weaken her speed and limit her agility in the equation of their battle. Or maybe he was just trying to keep up with her movement. She would note either of these possibilities in her mind regardless.
His walk was short lived, as soon as it shortened the distance between them from 7.25 meters to 6.25 meters the man went into a jog. His speed would increase, in four seconds of acceleration the man was moving at a speed of 10 meters per second by Jikan's perception. But Jikan was still moving as well, and her acceleration increased as well through the four seconds. Changing her movement speed from 6.25 meters to 12.5 meters, to 18.75, to finally to 25 meters per second in the four seconds that they were running towards each other. However, she had reach the man far before either of them had reached their max speed, closing the 6.25 meter distance between the two of them in one second while at the man's pace, it would take him at least three seconds to cover the same amount of ground. Reaching him in one second being right up in his face, Jikan still had 3 seconds before 4 seconds had passed total and the man would reach his full speed, and another second before he would begin his motion of turning the blade to the left side of his body and slicing up, the starting point being the armored swordsman's knee.
In a quick motion, Jikan struck out with a punch from her right hand at the 2 second mark upon reaching the man, throwing a blow to the man's opened left side, aiming for a hook body shot to the ribs, that previously was hidden by his shield. In the following two seconds that passed, Jikan threw another punch, a right jab, the fist aimed at the man's opened left arm, the strike occurred at the 3rd second mark respectively. After which, she would move to the left, running for one second before doing a sharp turn to be behind the man when five seconds had finally passed. Thanks to Jikan's speed and agility, she had moved far faster than what they man could, moving out of the way of his upward sword strike far before he had committed himself to the action, dodging and increasing the distance once again with 25 meters now being the distance between the two.

- Spoiler:
note for self: Jikan arm length is 1 meter which is ~40 in, I used my body as a reference and have arm:leg as 3:4. Given this, I am estimating Jikan's leg reach is ~50in which is ~1.35 meters
