Holding on to the thought he held his chin. But before he even started he let it go relaxing once more. How would someone like him stack up to her. The way he was now he was too weak with only base-level spells. He needed to train his body to master the rest of the Lightning Armament spells. If he would reach his peak he could be unstoppable. The two ultimate techniques of his magic were burned into his mind as a young slave. Unbeknownst to Toma his fist was clenched with a burning passion. Yet still a face of calmness.

It was a marvelous thing, one she wanted to share with someone. And so Jikan had returned to the inn she had rented a room from in the time she had expected to stay. Entering her room to find her exceed Mia relaxing eating a pastry. With a little encouragement and talking, Jikan had convinced the exceed that snacks and music would be a lovely relaxation opportunity. And, maybe she had something else to put on top of it.
With Mia with her, Jikan went to the outreaches of the town, on the way to the spot she had placed her Duhlin Maxx to let him roam free. Whether it was on the ground or in the air. Riding him, enjoying some snacks while just being low enough to hear the music play. Well, wouldn't that be marvelous??
However along the way she spotted someone she had not expected to see, at least out here of all places. It looked like them at least from the distance she was away from them under a large cherry blossom tree.
"Oh my, what are you doing all the way out here??".

Toma seeing the very person of his thought appears to surprise him. It was just like magic how she appeared. Popping off of the tree he started walking closer to Jikan as he started to stretch out his arms. " I was wondering if you'd consider a spar. I'd presume you want to see what I got and all?" He directed at her before standing 4m away from her. "I'd appreciate teachings from my new superior after all." He finished again with the sarcasm however his face was laced with no emotion. Dropping his hoodie to the floor he secured the earrings in his ears. Blank and battle-ready he had slid into his battle stance while speaking the words. Careful not to rile her up too much he thought. She could easily kill him and the thought sent shivers down his spine. But the response to potential death was trust in his despicable training.
He was now only wearing a sleeveless black shirt that hugged his body. Black pants were form-fitting and comfortable with the ends tucked into his black combat boots.
With his left foot forward and feet spread shoulder-width apart. His knees bent and relaxed with his left arm across his chest palm open. His right hand clenched and poised at his right close to his right cheek; the elbow held high. The main combat stance of Lightning Armament the same one used to kill his best friend at the time. The same one he refined with martial arts training during his rehabilitation.
Against the odds of a stronger enemy could he truly do anything? His fear of death was deep-rooted but it was also this fear that gave him strength. How would he ever know his true worth without dancing with death side by side? Dancing in her cold soul snatching embrace. But before all that could even be said and done; his opponent would need to accept the challenge first.

Jikan wore the same clothes she had on when she previously met Toma. Her equipment not on her at all, all secured with Mia. Her Joya themed robe loose but well fitting her agile strong form. Stance ready, shoulder left apart, her left foot leading forward, knees bent slightly, strong but relaxed.

He would follow through if his attempt connected as his left hand would return to guard as he would then bring his rear leg to thrust. A forward leg kick to attack her square in the gut. Toma needed to keep the distance short and stay in close range combat. Without knowing the enemy's magic is was best to allow them the chance to use it.

Toma would then lunge forward, approaching Jikan right, covering 7.5 meters in a second, leaving the distance between them just .5 meters. Toma would throw out a left palm strike aimed at her face, in response, Jikan would move her already up left hand to Toma's approaching strike, striking with her open palm to strike his hand. An attempt to block and deal damage at the same time to the strike. She would hold back in this maneuver, only dealing enough to do C rank damage to the hand if their first blows connected while taking C rank damage to her left hand. At the same time that Jikan threw out her left handed strike/block, Jikan would have thrown out a lower palm strike with her right hand at the leg that Toma had placed in between Jikan's legs. She would hold back with this strike as well, only aiming to deal D rank Damage to the limb. After doing so she would retreat her right hand back to try and protect her body.
At this point, Jikan saw Toma's next move. Returning his left hand to guard himself. Good...he thinks of defense and not just offense. He has some common sense.
A warrior that had tunnel vision was not one that could act in their full potential in Jikan's opinion. A fighter had to have balance. Toma, brought his rear leg out to kick, Â by his movement Jikan assumed it would be at her body or gut. Perhaps her attempt to retreat her arm to protect her body would fail, maybe not. But either way, she would likely take a hit. Most likely, if successful in reestablishing her lower guard, her right arm would take C rank damage. If not, her body would take C rank damage.

However if she were to hold him or push him back he would immediately pressoff her arm using it as a springboard. Swinging his right leg backwards collapsing on his left leg he would follow throw with the spinning kick. Palms planted and head turned to face his opponent. He swung around and his body dropped the bottom of his calf would collide with her ankle attempting to sweep her as a second counter attack. The sweep would have been fluid and sharp dealing C rank dmg on impact.If hit or a miss he push himself and roll away to gain distance.
Regardless from what he could tell hitting this woman was like striking a brick wall. If she had started to get serious he would need to rely on more magic than the was currently using. But then again would it truly do anything the levels were simply to great. But screw it this was fun he thought to himself. Having only used the Lightning stance so far he might switch to Vajra stance despite not having the spells to go with it. That was the cost for using a magic that meant to be in conjunction with martial arts.

- Pre post breakdown:
took hits from last exchange.
1xC to left arm
1xC to Right arm
total for 1xB damage, health is 3xS + 1xA + 1xB
Jikan's first two strikes landed, how much it hurt the man with her holding back would have to be seen later. But for now at least, he moved as if the attacks did nothing to him. Pushing through any pain that may have had been there. Good...he is not slowed down easily.
His kick landed, smacking into her arm, he moved and tried to continue his arc, bringing it to the ground and attempted to cause Jikan's body to fall down from push going backwards. She felt the blow, but managed to stay up on her feet, sliding the kick off of her arm after it hit. Causing her to stay up. If the man had continued in his planned actions, Â she would then watch the man jump, two meters into the air. Jikan would reach out and grab the man by the neck with her left hand jumping 2 meters in the air with him before slamming him to the ground on his back. She would hold back in this attack if this situation happened, putting C rank damage into the action. She would then mount the young man, straddling his wait before throwing out a punch to his face, swinging it as a right hook to the cheek. She would hold back in this strike as well, dealing C rank damage if it landed. She would continue to grip the man by the throat throughout and after these actions.
If that was not the case and he continued his other plan of using his previous spinning kick to bounce off of their exchange to deal out a low kick while he shifted to the ground. Jikan would jump into the air by a meter. She was not aiming to get a large air time, just avoid the low kick. As she came down she would swing out a kick of her own. An axe kick with C rank damage behind it from her left leg aimed at where she thought the man's body would be. But, it seemed the man planned to move as soon as he had attacked. Rolling out of the way, leaving only the ground to feel the impact of Jikan's kick as a dent in the ground was made. She took her foot out and placed herself steady ready to continue. Sliding back as she was not sure how far away the man had moved with his roll. She would put herself 2 meters away, the final distance between them she was not sure.
"Not bad...decent. Fluid and adaptable. Interesting as well. You use magic to add in your hand to hand skills? Not many choose to go that path. Shall we continue", she held her hands up, an open palm facing herself, a fist close to her elbow.

A. mount and pound, 1xC to face
B. Jumping axe kick for 1xC but with actions this will miss

However if she were to maneuver underneath him Toma would then shoot out both legs to kick her from above to deal C rank dmg. If she had lunged to the side or jumped out of the way he fall to the ground in a crouching stance adjust his body to be faced with hers. It was hard not wanting to go all out at this point. Toma wanted to use his best martial arts form because he would easily be able to force her to fight seriously. But that was a form meant only for killing and he didn't need her to match his true intensity. That might be unfortunate for everyone at lease in his case. Besides just enough to make her see some potential would be good enough. But going above and beyond had it benefits and burdens. Like if he showed to much promise as a prospect could he handle the tasking work load? None the less the challenge would push him to be stronger.

- pre post breakdown:
Sorry, didn't realized I hindered Toma in the first exchange. His left arm is hindered.
Successfuly avoided low kick
Jikan; current health is health is 3xS + 1xA + 1xB
Jikan's limb health; left arm ( 1xB), right arm (1xC)
In the flow of actions chosen, Toma chose to roll away after seeing he was unable to knock Jikan to the ground. Jikan's foot crushed the ground at the spot that he would have had been at. With their actions done, they were 3 meters away from each other. "Strength is not all about what you can do young one. It is also about what you know and can think of. Besides, doing these sort of things is good for me as well limitations can be helpful". She said this all in a flat tone, of one just giving advice and information. This was quick and short.
Her guard still up during this time. Breaking out into a run at the same time Toma did. Her movement of pace was 7.5 meters per second, while Toma's pace of running until he met the one meter mark from their initial 3 meter distance was 3.75 meters per second in comparison. Due to the difference in the speed they were moving at, with her moving twice as face Jikan would have most likely reached Toma long before he got to his one meter spot. Being in the way for him to jump, she would stick out an elbow as she moved toward Toma. Lowering herself to use the full length of her left arm as a battering ram to slam into Toma's body. She would hold back in this strike, dealing D rank to his body.
Only now this close up did Jikan realized that she failed to hold back as much as she wanted to earlier in their fight, back when she used her hand to block Toma's attack with his left hand. The blow, from her look up this close, damaged his left arm a bit more than she had planned. It may be out of use for a bit...
His plan to jump forward 2 meters forward at a speed 7.5 meters per second would most likely be impossible now. For Jikan's body was already at the spot, grounded, and if her blow landed, he would practically be in breathing reach of the red headed amazon dealing with a gut blow. If Toma somehow manage to continue with his planned knee strikes to a different part of her body though, Jikan would choose to endure the blows and grab hold onto his right shoulder. Not wishing to further damage his left arm. It was hindered and not able to be used, she felt no need to go after it more since they were in a spar and not a serious fight.
She would swing out her right leg, while keeping her grip, dealing a sweeping kick to Toma's left leg dealinng D rank damge if it was able to hit. Durng the same motion of this, she would pull on his right arm, hoping to disturb his balance and any motions he had planned, combined with the low kick, she would use the shift of momentum to turn and lift Toma to the side, tossing him head first into the ground. She would act fast with this motion but not at full power, choosing to deal D rank damage to his head or somewhere else depending on how he landed.

Trying to continue his knee strike after Jikan had grabbed his right shoulder. Her strength was immensible he wasn't able to break out of it and move the way he wanted to especially being hindered with his left. Next came a sudden sweep to his left leg. Not only this but she would pull his right arm as she still had the grip on to him. Toma would fly like a ragdoll in the wind and he couldn't do much in this situation. He thought of a quick counter attack but his balance was off. Not to mention the onsault of strikes was taking too much out of him and had no energy left in the tank. As such he did what he could and rotated his body in a violent twist. He was careful to not bend or break his arm in any way and went with the flow of Jiakn's throw. As such instead of landing on his head he would have tried to land on side hoping to absorb the majority of the blow.
As soon as he landed he moved to tuck and curl while exhaling loudly from the impact. With no arm available he ducked out of the way of final strike before simply resting on the ground as he was exhausted and defeated. "I..th- .. is my lost it would seem." He was exhausted and yet she was so full of life it was embarrassing how weak he was.

And he did!
Even if one could not dodge a blow they could try to deflect ir or control where it hit. If one wanted to protect a body part they would have to sometimes scarifies other body parts or gear to do so. Either way he was able to move and responde, taking the blow with his body and not his head. He then continued to move, rolling away as soon as his body made a thud with the ground.
Jikan eyed Toma not saying a word, before raising a hand up. Casting a healing spell to fix the injured man up a little bit. A gift for be satisfactory in the fight and showing potential. This founder of Sleeping Calamity was pleased with him, at least partially. He had other types of challenges to face in the future.
"I hope you have been able to take a thing or two away from this spar Mr. Toma. I agree, lets end here and rest shall we?".
