Yumi turned slightly toward the new voice behind her. The slight tremor in his voice, coupled with his apparent youth, suggested this was his first mission, and his slight breathlessness told her he had been running hard to get here. However green he might be, he appeared to have a good head on his shoulders, which she respected. Something about his glasses seemed vaguely familiar to her, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

She had no time to dwell on it, however. The moment the thought crossed her mind, razor-sharp shards of water shot out from the mist as the visions returned. She slowly let out the breath she had been holding, forcing her mind and body to relax as she readied her scythe. Just before the shards reached her, she whispered two words:

[color=4c87bf][b]"Senpuu Rinzan"[/b][/color]		[color=d3d3d3]//Ability activation[/color]
[hider=Translation][i]Whirlwind Ring Slash[/i][/hider]
She planted her foot and spun in place, her blade and hair creating parallel rings of silver and blue. The scythe carved through the aquatic daggers streaking toward her, dissipating the ones that would have hit her or Aramis into a fine mist, while the rest flew past harmlessly. She spared him a quick backward glance and a slight nod of respect before charging forward, following Androph into the mist.
