The wind knocked out of her, Luna threw her shield up to parry away the blow going for her neck.  Her voice couldn't even crack a note to say, "So I can see" in response to the elf's claim about her teacher.  Luna was many thing, and stubborn was one.  It ached her, but Luna fought back with all she had.  Something in the overwhelming strength from the elf awoke a desire in her to want to win.  So strive for it she did, though she doubted she would at this rate.  Whatever Sarah would do next would likely end the duel, but Lunalel Lightsword would not sit down and just let it happen if she could help it.

Glaring toward Sarah, blocking the blade aimed for her neck Luna dropped the sword from her hand and grabbed Sarah's wrist before she could fully retract the hand and pulled her in close before rearing her head back, gritting her teeth putting a foot toward her and ramming her head forward to meet her opponent's.  As their head' connected, it hurt a small bit for Luna, but really, it was no worse than having the air knocked out of her.  She followed up by slamming her shield into the elf's chest to stun her enough to be able to pick her weapon back up and swing up at Sarah.
