Rose landed upon her back and immediately rolled to her side and back to her knees. She was on the move again before Aoi's palms pressed against the canvas. She'd done her research. She knew the woman was tenacious. Her back hit the ropes, building momentum as she continued to consider her opponent's mental state. She could already see a difference in her demeanor. She was swearing like a sailor. She wasn't just battling Rose Gold in this contest, but also her own inner anguish. Her regret over not being able to protect her friend. Her anger over another lightweight daring to challenge her on their own terms. It was clear she was emotional.
And that desperation. That emotion led her to blindly swing her weapon out at Rose from her inferior kneeling position! The wooden sword was brandished like a ringmaster distancing a circus cat. But Rose was no circus cat. She was a lioness!
*Clunk* The wooden sword made a dull thud as Rose's sprint brought her left heel to bare on the tip of the weapon. driving it into the canvas. Her next step was her right boot landing upon Aoi's knee. The one that served as her foundation. "EYA!!!" She screamed as her third step saw her launching off of Aoi's posted position! All of the momentum of her sprint, the force of the jump. It culminated in Rose's knee as it was driven into the girl's temple like a piston through slaughter-house swine!
Rose's Signature Variation of a brutal Shining Wizard.
