Shane Vs Aryanna ( Class 1 : Round 1 )

[Elijah Graham]

"Hey don't worry about me broski, when the time comes, I'll show you how proper of a punch I can throw."

Shane answered back cheerfully, he wasn't the type to be set off by comments like that, the guy was so ridiculously easygoing and just let everything slide off his back, no skin off his back and no sweat. Mekiel was somewhat right though, Shane was the type to do small amounts of damage over and over again, because they did add up, but when it counted, he could dish out a big amount of damage if needed.

Watching Mekiel carefully as the big guy took two slow steps forward, staying crouched down and eye level with Shane, he couldn't help but grin slightly even as he continued with his air boxing.

"Challenge Accepted."

Shane even folded his arms like the stick figure from the meme, before unfolding his arms and going back into his stance, right fist in front of his chin, left fist in front of his torso, right foot out front and his left foot behind, focusing completely on Mekiel.

"Show me your moves!"

[thekid]

Damn, this guy was way too easygoing. It was almost annoying... bah, who am I kidding? I freakin' loved it. An opponent who could make light of a fight this much was certainly one worth fighting.

The moment he'd cross his arms, I slid forward, left foot first, but only about two feet closer to him. My right foot would come around in an arc so that the position of my body would be opposite his. My knees would be bent, and I would be on my left toes, which would enable me to punch off the logical directions he could run in at the moment, and my arms were farther from my body, palms open.

"Tick."

I pushed off of my left foot as soon as he spoke his final time, aiming to wrap my right arm around the inside of his right thigh, and place my left hand against his back or any other part of him to lift him over myself and slam him into the ground behind me, face first. I was assuming, though, he'd see past this.

As Mekiel slid forward, his left foot first, Shane would automatically take a step back while his arms were still folded, and when Mekiel's right foot came around in an arc, Shane took another step back, unfolding his arms while doing so. Just as Shane finished speaking, Mekiel took off, but Shane wouldn't let Mekiel get close enough to wrap his arms around his left thigh, he had backed up while Mekiel moved forward for a reason.

It probably wasn't completely obvious, but Shane had been inching closer and closer to the wall behind him this entire time, he was now close enough that he could lean back and rest his head up against the wall. The distance quickly closed between them, Shane immediately ducked down and stepped to his right, Mekiel's left, sticking his leg out to try and trip him as the guy charged past him while Mekiel's left arm sailed harmlessly above his head, his arms wrapping around nothing but air, hopefully sending the big guy falling and kissing the wall.

[thekid]

The guy was pretty good, but could have definitely been better. If he'd have stepped in the other direction - my blind side - he'd have made a fantastic move. Unfortunately, he moved on my open side, and that gave me all of the opening I needed.

My right leg was already bent forward, holding the majority of my body. I'd lift my left leg over his, and push off of my right to send myself tackling the f[expletive]ucker, aiming to get one arm around either side of him. It didn't matter how much faster than me he was, now. He gave me an opening. And if the tackle worked, I wouldn't let go of him.

[Kevala Katashi]

Her eyes fluttered closed, a little yawn escaping her as she leaned there against the wall. She wasn't trying to be rude, but this was....well yeah. Anti-climactic, to put it nicely. Oh, she couldn't say much, she ran her mouth A LOT during a fight, but the point was it was DURING the fight, not during breaks from the fight....Well unless she was making some kind of sexual gesture at Gabriel, which she usually got slammed in the stomach or ribcage for......As for fighting Mischa....well 14 years of trying and each time it just ended in really rough sex. But yeah, beside the point!

Finally, the little timer on the control panel went off, the water shutting off and the air beginning to thin out from the coldness that had been enclosing them up until now, those icy hues shooting open as she looked over the two, both of which were still relatively fine....Not that it was surprising. "Even though part of me wishes to call this match a draw and have neither of you progress, I cannot do such as it is unfair to the other students. However, I would warn you that next time you find yourselves in my class, you talk less, and fight more...Or at least....Fight interestingly." This game was supposed to be for her amusement and well...she wasn't amused.

"You win blondy....Only because I think had this been drawn out longer, you would have eventually dealt more damage. Unless I were to flip a coin, and if you can't tell, I don't really have one." She would gesture down to her soaking wet body her skin slightly paled and her lips a tinge of blue, if just barely from the freezing conditions, though she had no tremors or any such thing. No, she had practiced too long and for too many years for that to be an issue anymore.

"Next round begins in one hour....The lesson is balance....You..umm....Shane...Go get dried off and get to your next class." A wave of her hand and she would turn and make her way toward the back. With the last of the rounds done, it was time for her to get this building ready for the next bout.

OOC: Winner is Mekiel due to the fact that it was such a VERY close call, but as Kevala stated, prediction suggested that he would have eventually dealt more damage than Shane. Problems with this decision, you are more than welcome to contact me in PMs or through IMs to discuss. Random dice roll will predict your next opponent. All injuries sustained in this fight will carry over into your next one. Thread will be up tonight or tomorrow, depending when I can get to it....Likely tonight.
