L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Celina would push against Salem, grunting as she attempted to push against her as hard as she could, gritting her teeth and refusing to budge, it seemed that Celina and Salen were evenly matched

"so....how long have been wrestling?"

Celina asked, wanting to strike up a bit of conversation as she struggled to keep her footing, planted on the ground

Salem, her lips partially pursed from her own struggle, attempted to answer. "B-Been doing this since I was...18! But I watched...w-wrestling for a lot longer than that." The lightly tanned face of the Shooting Star began to redden a bit, more and more as she exerted herself.

Her arms began to shake just slightly, her endurance in a contest of strength itself being tested right now. Whilst currently they seemed to be even in upper body strength, this tug of war could only go so long without a clear cut winner. "How long have you been wr-wrestling?" Salem kept the conversation going, partially to keep her mind off of the contest to not psyche herself out.

"was a part of my highschool wrestling club, after that I ended up going into something similar in college, been at this for a while, this my first official debut thought"

Celina responded as she continued pushing against her opponent, showing her endurance as she was still pushing, not at full strength but she was pushing her opponent back, attempting to push her to the ropes

The star's strength was beginning to waver and fade, but she wasn't about to give up! Celina's strength and endurance were both impressive to her, but a good honorable competitor didn't just give up and yield because things weren't going her way...at least that was Salem's philosophy.

"I-I...I'm impressed! Takes a l-lot to keep up nowadays!" with exertion her voice shakes, and her back hits the ropes!

Celina would end up seeing Salem's back hit the ropes, taking this as an opportunity she would immediately break the test of strength and attempt to go in for a bearhug on her opponent, wanting to pick her up and dominate her as best as she could

"thanks, you aren't half bad yourself, I take it you lifted a bit before you got here?"

Celina asked with gritted teeth, her arms hurting a bit from having to contend with Salem for so long in that test of strength

"Y-Yeah...been trying to work on that par-WOAH!" the pinkette exclaimed, her arms heading to the side as she was lifted up by the Neo Phoenix in a sudden bearhug! Her feet would leave the ground by about a foot, and begin to slowly kick as if her shoes were doing their best to reunite with the ground.

But, being bearhugged wasn't exactly a new thing for her, so she had a few tricks to try and get out of this sort of thing. Lifting her legs, Salem did her best to wrap them around the torso of the other woman, giving her a squeeze back with a body scissors!

Celina would grit her teeth as her opponent has put all of their weight into her, causing Celina end up falling over, accidentally giving Salem a body slam onto the mat

"gaahh! S-sorry, are you alright?"

Celina asked as she panted a bit

The sudden shift and impact left Salem completely winded, her body splayed a bit as she struggled to focus. After a few moments, she recovered though and looked Celina with a winced look, "O-Oh, I'm fine! Just didn't...huffdidn't expect such an impact! You're pretty good Celina! Wanna keep going?" Despite the rough landing and clear impact it had on her, Salem was still willing to keep going!

Celina would slowly get up and smile, offering Salem a hand as she got back to her feet

"sure, and you aren't half bad yourself"

Celina would compliment her opponent as she offered to help her up
