'I need to get the FUCK outta here!'

She thought loudly in her head as she kept herself composed, surprisingly well I must say as 'Sir Mario', as the girl called him, couldn't see through it

"You're looking pretty distracted there, missy." Well correction then, he did see it, he just thought of something different

"Just granting you the final moments deserved by a calf about to be slaughtered." She said, still trying to act tough even though...

'He is so GOING to murder me!' she was still panicking like hell inside as 'Sir Mario' started speaking again

"I'm starting—"

"Not if I start first!" She suddenly said cutting him off; as red lighting, from before appeared again and surrounded her whole body this time before she suddenly disappeared, making 'Sir Mario's' eyes widen before they quickly narrowed as he swipes his spear to the side and blocks a strike from the girl, who then reappeared on his left with a seemingly reinforced Shinai, the two exchanging blows with each other

As the girl broke off and started running to the side to get some distance from him, the man took notice and responded 'kindly' with a piercing strike at her to which she deflects to the side and pushed it down with her shinai, sliding the weapon on the spear and straight to his hands with him raising the spear up and using the other end of said spear to respond with a piercing strike, making her jump back some distance away from him. Using the time to take a breather to ease the excruciating pain thanks to her prolonged use of her Magic

"You fool." The man said as magical energy enveloped the spear. Rushing forward at her with increased speed, denying her her moment of respite, the young girl barely managed to block the sudden attack, as though she had already been in this predicament before.... The two soon went back to exchanging strikes, blows, and swings with each other, however, the girl soon started to stagger in her movements, of course, the Mario man taking keen notice

"You seem to be getting tired there, Little Girl!" 'Sir Mario' said to her, whether it was to mock her or not, she wouldn't know, being too overcome by her anger and fatigue with the current predicament. Said girl just keeping quiet, although it was very much clear in her facial expression she wanted to get the hell out, knowing this wouldn't end in victory

The man goes to heavy swipe at her legs to finally end things and get things over with, though being met with a sudden jump right over the swing, and with all the strength she could muster up, going to swing down at him with the shinai, even if met with a block by the man

"RaaaAAGH!" She cried out and placed in more strength to her strike as it sent the man flying back, out of the yard and into the side of a building with a large amount of smoke coming in and covering the area, finally giving her time to take some breath

"G-gah... hah hah..." She huffed and puffed as she falls onto her knee when suddenly a table gets thrown out of the building and into the side
