[Color=00ffff]Blade combat:[/color] [b]I watch Skallagrim[/b] - [s] Beginner [/s] - Intermediate - Advanced - Expert[/center][hr]Initially delighted at the challenge being accepted, and for now without any mention of robots other than a Mk II Eyeball, Victoria's excitement mellowed out as seconds turned to minutes while this girl spent as much time on picking a foam sword as others would spend picking clothes to try on. Victoria eventually moved to the arena, hoping the duel would happen sometime today. The mechashift sword slash flashlight caught her eye though. [Color=00ffff]"So cool..."[/color] she whispered under her breath, making a note to ask to get a peak on the internal mechanisms.

Finally, her opponent decided to grace her with her presence. [Color=00ffff]"Yawn. I was ready two minutes ago."[/color] She watched as the sword expert of the two of them took a defensive stance. It was something she noticed most of her peers in class did. Why did everyone give up the initiative so readily? She smirked, turning her body sideways, sword in the front hand raised to guard, the back hand prepared to strike. [Color=00ffff]"Are we going to stand around here all day, or are we going to fight?"[/color] [i]I would make a [/i]kickass[i] Kingsman. I can even dress the part.[/i] she thought briefly, trash talking as much to try to throw her opponent off as to delude herself into thinking she had a snowball's chance on the surface of the Sun, before putting all of her focus on the fight ahead.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she lunged forth, intending to catch Zari's blade with her forward hand, and make a slash at her stomach with her back hand.
