Pacing himself around the training arena, Tanner watched Olivia's movements with the eyes of a hawk. She had thrown up an aggressive stance with her fists, clearly signifying her intent to make the first move, yet Olivia's feet were struggling to follow in a fluid motion. The girl charged forward without worrying for her own defense, like an abnormal titan, and Tanner thought to exploit it. He waited until Olivia had ran the distance between the two cadets, and once she swung her first punch, Tanner had leaped backwards, rather to the right as Olivia was hoping Tanner would move.

Using the momentum that Olivia had forced onto herself, Tanner reeled back a foot as the girl stumbled from missed blows. It would hurt for both of the cadets, for Tanner's shin would be smashing into Olivia's legs, but for his foe, landing on their butt against hard ground might hurt more. Sending his leg crashing into Olivia's flailing legs, Tanner swept both of them out from underneath of the girl. She had paid no attention to her lower body, and Tanner sought to take advantage of it. Olivia fell on her butt, and Tanner tried his hardest not to laugh at the girl's almost comedic fall, especially when Olivia had been so nice the night before.

Taking a step forward, Tanner approached Olivia and offered a hand to the girl. A part of him was waiting for Olivia to take his hand and throw him, yet as he was cautious, Tanner felt that Olivia was too nice to do such a thing. [color=#FFD967]"I think you did alright, Olivia, but I could see through your plan at the start. You focused too much on being aggressive, and as a result, you left yourself open for me to take out your legs."[/color] Tanner explained, smiling to another person again for the first time in years. It seemed friendship was to be a common factor in Tanner's military career, and it had already begun to change him from the quiet, reclusive child he was before.
