...And she vanished. [b]"OH SH--"[/b] Sho didn't even have the time to react as she kicked him in the back, breaking his balance and letting his momentum do the rest of the work. He shot forward, her kick just slightly changing his course, slamming with his back first on the building ahead, blasting through the wall and bringing down most of the front of the building. "Ouch" was the first thing that crossed his mind as he stayed at that position for a couple of seconds, thinking about what she had just done; [i]"She faster than me with Halborym...that's a first! And that precision!"[/i]

Sho quickly pushed the rubble off him, stood up and looked at Minerva. He clenched his fist, that was his first defeat in two years be it a spar or not, and it meant he had ways to go before being the greatest martial artist in the world.

He walked towards her, shaking the dust and rubble off himself. [b]"I'm Shoichi but you can call me Sho" [/b]he said with a smile, making it seem like he hadn't just blasted through a stone wall. [b]"HAH, there's nothing better than a full frontal assault where you and your opponent go head to head in a battle of endurance and power! Although i must admit, your style of fighting isn't half bad as well. You outmaneuvered me there pretty hard."[/b]
