"Huh? I haven't really seen you around before. A young woman, dressed in black scoffed at her next opponent. "Hope you put up a good fight, I swear you better not be as bad as you look." The confidence and jeering of Shusara was no joke, she really meant every word she said. How many wins was it now? 10? 15? She forgot to count the countless times she outran and sliced through arena foes. For several matches now, Shusara had been pitted up against the scrawniest of weaklings. They were all talk and no bite. It would have been a lie to say that she wasn't disappointed by the fighting pool. It was nice to win of course, but fighting had become boring, in fact she was so confident in her abilities now she even petitioned to fight against multiple opponents at once.
Needless to say, her record spoke for itself. However, without unto her knowledge, she had been deliberately given many green opponents within the past month. She herself had started out as fresh meat not too long ago. It was about time that she fought someone more suitable to her skill level.
Yushin gave no indication of provocation at the words of the young woman. Shusara was her name, he had taken note of her previous fights. A time or two he raised an eyebrow at her choice of dress, seemingly open to no protection. To him, this was a mere testament to her cockiness, no protection meant 'you won't even be able to scratch me.' He sighed, once again he was matched with an immature fighter. The realization of the young gladiators and opponents in this coliseum greatly perturbed the young white haired man. Was it for glory that they fought, for freedom, or for some greater purpose? It was no secret to him that it was mainly the youth that sought out glory, so perturbed as he may have been, the rationality of the situation was no shocker. Hopefully, he would be able to finish this quickly as he had done in the past.
By now Yushin had learned to drown out the roars of the spectators. It was too much of a distraction for him if he had to worry about the countless eyes that beset unto his figure. The woman on the opposite end of the arena however, was quite the opposite. She waved, he yelled, she threw her hands out into the air. She was beckoning for continued cheers, and she feasted upon the crowd's voices. Quite enjoying the attention, Shusara took her's onto the Sangju man. "If you want out, just say so. I'll knock you out in a jiffy." She revealed her weapon of choice, a giant shuriken, and began to spin it around in display.
He remained still, at this point, the fight had begun and he knew this. There was no point in rushing it this time, after all, this enemy was different from his prior ones. She was skilled, at least skilled enough to have made it this far. Her cockiness wasn't entirely unfounded, but much to the folly of many men, cockiness was a bane. And as expected, she made the first move.
She began to accelerate and within a few moments she was dashing towards Yushin at 12 m/s. "Piss your pants!" She hadn't thrown her weapon as he had anticipated, rather he used it more akin to a chakram and met the contender head on. Unsheathing his geom is the blink of an eye, Yushin sidestepped and knocked the shuriken off course to expose her flank. Shusara was briefly surprised by the speed of her opponent. Usually she was able to outquick the majority of her enemies and land the first blow. "Okay then how bout this?!" She evaded the swipe sent by her opponent to her flank and created space between herself and the white haired youth. Twirling her shuriken, Shusara generated enough torque to toss a Slicing Wheel at the foe afar.
It was fast, much faster than anticipated. If not for Yushin's speed and swiftness, he may have been dealt a serious injury. A slit of blood spilled from his cheek as he barely avoided the attack and noted immediately that the weapon returned to the hands of Shusara. She had a coordinated control of her actions. She's not going to be easy. Yushin was a close range fighter, and with te space between himself and the woman, he knew that he was in a dangerous position. The folds of his garments fluttered as he rushed to close the gap between the two fighters. Shusara, who was used to this sort of action, backstepped numerous times and swerved and jumped to keep the gap steady.
This went on for an entire minute. The both of them just ran around the entire arena, not allowing either of them to gain the upper hand. He's not giving me any chance to attack! All I can do it run! The thought of someone matching her speed irritated her greatly, and she desperately tried to find a moment to retaliate against her frustrating opponent. But then, she hit a wall, literally. Her back slammed into the arena wall and she was trapped. "The hell with you you scum!" She had played right into this man's and now, she had nowhere to run.
His scheme had worked. With the gap closed, he could make his attack. He lunged forward with a stab to catch Shusara off guard. The intent was in no way shape or form to piece her however. In terms of avoiding a lunge, a fighter both move away to the side otherwise they'd be penetrated. Of course, Yushin kept the possibility of ducking at the back of his mind, and he prepared himself for any reaction.
She chose to Dodge Roll away. So, to the side then. Without any mercy or any warning, he twisted his body and Snapped his leg to kick Shusara in the temple. She couldn't avoid it, and she staggered backwards by the blow. He immediately followed with Saggam to disallow further retaliation. The saggam cut through diagonally across her mid section and with his free had, Yushin sent two quick jabs towards the wound to irritate it. Following the jabs, he forwarded a frontal kick with the ball of his foot at Shusara's sternum and knocked her flat onto the floor. Now was the time to end it.
With blinding speed, Yushin rushed the girl with a closing combination. She was exposed and he took the opportunity to begin with a Cross Blade of his geom and his hwando. Both blades cut their marks. Bleeding now, Shusara dropped her shuriken at the sudden grimace of pain. It was the first time, that an enemy was able to touch her, and now she greatly regretted her exposing attire. It was too late for her to think however, because the man continued with his brutal assault and burned her already open wounds with a Scalding Slash. "ARGHHHHH!"
The heat of the attack slowly cauterized the wound. It was painful, and deadly, but Yushin did so purposefully because he feared infection of an open wound. It was his slight nod of pity and mercy towards the girl, and without cheering or celebrating, he once again sheathed his blades. She had been tougher than the prior fighters that was for sure, but, she was still immature.
He left he there, and walked away from the arena, the crowd roared in delight at the exciting match and chanted the white haired youth's name in unison. Little to his knowledge, Yushin had killed the girl, and he would never know.
