However as she did her bokkens tip caught the ground which brought it standing up to block the attack like a wall, and within that single moment Shi's expression did in fact change from one of shock to a cunning grin! With her other hand taken back she had the chance to hide the kido out of his view, and with her foot back she was able to step right back in to gain distance and attack him with it.
