[quote=@Ammokkx] Ethel's reasoning is that for Action Dueling, you need to run around too much. She doesn't have great condition. Standard you have to hold up a heavy metal object for long periods of time. Also straining. So, she takes something that pretty much gives itself momentum and when she does have to use force, it's evenly divided over her body. [/quote] Fair play, but then again if that thing crashes... no matter she would be fine. School probably invests in safety equipment.
