What is Fighting?

---------------------------------------------------------

You and Uraraka began disarming training at Gunhead's school. She was brought up for a demonstration with Gunhead, and you found it hard to not laugh at someone like Uraraka holding a knife like that.

She was dropped by Gunhead with his specialized takedown, and afterward you were given time to practice the move together.

You two took turns for the next several minutes, passing the knife between you two after each takedown.

Uraraka was holding the knife when you rushed at her quickly. She was completely caught off guard by this, and she reflexively pulled the knife upward as you approached

You brought your hands up to stop her, just before the knife in her hands made contact with your stomach.

"Uraraka?" You asked. It sounded like you were concerned, but it wasn't concern for you, it was concern for her, asking how did we get here.
Uraraka let out a quick and panicked apology.

"L/N I'm so sorry! I didn't think you'd just come at me like that! I just pulled the knife up without thinking, and you're so small, I didn't expect that this to happen!"

"You didn't have to throw the fact that I'm short in there..... But it's fine! We're here to improve, it's okay to make mistakes like this. Even if you did actually stab with the knife, I'm sure I could have healed it with my quirk."

"Uh, just don't take that as me letting you actually do it. Come on, let's keep at it."

Neither of you moved from the position you were in. Uraraka looked hesitant to keep going, so you decided to let her practice disarming for a while.

Your hands still over hers, you applied pressure in the right places, and she let out a small "ow" as her grip on the knife loosened. You then took it from her, and pulled away from her.

"Alright. Try disarming me then, don't worry about hurting me, I'll be fine."

She got into position a few feet from you. The knife in your hand, you stretched both your arms forward, and began to throw the knife between your hands, catching it each time without difficulty.

Uraraka watched this, and she relaxed her position, and had a weary look on her face again.

"What's wrong?"

"Um, I'm not sure if I'm okay with the fact that you do that so..... expertly."

"Huh? It's not like that! I cook a lot, so I'm really comfortable with knives."

"How does you cooking mean you're good at throwing the knife around like that?"

"Well, I have to find something to do while waiting for things to warm up!"

She shook her head in disbelief, a smile on her face, and returned to her position. With that, you two returned to practicing knife disarming.

---------------------------------------------------------

Later in the day, you and Uraraka got around to training again, trying your best to get the best of each other.
It didn't happen often, with the two of you easily escaping each other's holds, in tune with what the other was planning.
