He can disassemble and reassemble anything he touches?! If his quirk was used for good, he'd be able to fix any medical emergency in an instant... actually, the uses for his quirk are endless! Mitsu thinks to herself, "That's such an amazing quirk Overhaul-sama!" She gushes in over-exaggerated awe.

She hears the man in front of her let out an amused chuckle, "You flatter me Kimiko-san."

"Oh please, you don't have to use formalities with me Overhaul-sama, please just call me by my given name," Mitsu says with a sweet smile on her face, not giving away any hints that the smile is nowhere near genuine.

Chisaki's eyes soften ever so slightly as he responds, "Well, if you insist... Hana-chan," and with that he nods at someone to the side and a figure walks into the cage and onto the fighitng ring, "Your next opponent will be Rappa Kendo."

Mitsu's makes her way into the fighting cage and takes her place opposite of Rappa. Once Rappa sees how small and fragile looking his opponent is, he calls out to Overhaul, "Boss, are you sure I can go all out? You said she's quirkless right?"

Overhaul just gives Rappa a blank stare and then turns to Mitsu with an imperceptible softness in his eyes, "Your fight against Rappa is more of a test than an actual match. I encourage you to fight as long as you can, but you are free to withdraw from the match whenever you'd like."

The tone in his voice confirmed Mitsu's suspicion that these matches were for Chisaki to see if she can handle being a part of the Shie Hassaikai family. The first guy was most likely testing my general combat abilities. Based on what they both said just now, Rappa might be here to test my endurance to pain in some way. How should I do this...? Do I try to fight and let him win and just take a beating? Do I try to win? Do I do a combo of both to show that I can fight and handle a lot of pain? Mitsu thinks to herself, but decides to just play it by ear, seeing as she doesn't know how good of a fighter Rappa is, nor does she know what his quirk is. Mitsu turns to face Chisaki and gives him a nod.

"Begin!"

The fight starts and Mitsu experiments with a few kicks and punches, and she realizes very quickly that Rappa is a genuinely skilled fighter that most likely has a lot of experience. He's not taking the initiative, he's probably gauging my abilities as well.

She tests him further by changing up her tactics and fighting style. To her amazement, Rappa notices the change in a matter of seconds and adapts his strategy to best counter her, showing that he is highly skilled and knowledgable in multiple styles of martial arts. 

As the fight continues and she jumps away from him and asks with piqued interest, "Are you an MMA fighter?"

Rappa pauses and is pleasantly surprised, "You could tell?"

Mitsu nods, "You fluidly switch between different styles and even mix them to counter the changes that I do." Once she finishes her explanation, she takes a deep breath and raises her hands up to eye level, tucks her chin in, bends her knees and makes sure she doesn't bear any weight on her left heel.

Rappa smiles with childish glee as he realizes what her stance is. Oh shit! She even knows Krav Maga, I really hope she's good! "You better switch to a self-defense stance or else I'm gonna pummel you through the cage wall!"

Out of shear excitement, Rappa goes all out and uses his quirk to make his punches impossibly fast.

After Mitsu is able to block the first couple hits, she realizes that she needs to let Rappa win. These are too fast for me to block or else I risk blowing my cover. She forces herself to let a few punches go straight to her face, before bringing her arms up to protect herself.
