Round 3: 'Magic' Stein vs. Brailynn Moore

Brailynn felt him struggle with his arm and saw the glint of steel once again as it had come swinging for her. Instinctively, she tried to shove his hand away, pull him off balance with his other hand, or try to get away quicker with her powers - but it didn't seem like she would get away cleanly. The metal pierced into her skin, red quickly starting to drip aside her thigh. It hurt like crazy, but she wasn't going to let herself be stopped yet.

When times got the most tough, then the toughest sucked it up and kept going. She wrapped her gloved hand around the blade in her leg, grabbing a strong hold and forcing him to either let it go or stay close, meanwhile slicking the blade hidden in her shoe into her free hand. She hadn't had the chance to use the knife against Noah, like she had wanted, but she wasn't going to forget she had it and lose an opportunity.

With the small blade, she quickly swung her fist, jabbing it down towards his shoulder. If this battle didn't end with his own blood spilled, she'd never forgive herself.

Magic raised his free arm just int time to stop her attack fully. While it still did pierce his skin and cause some damage and didn't cause as much as it could have. Red started to well up around her knife. "Heh. You act like this is the first time I have been in a knife fight." From the position he was in it was easy to see her reach for the bladed object so it was easy to see coming.

Tossing her arm away with the knife, the boy pulled free his knife from her grasp, the ring on the blade allowing him to do so, and since it was bladed on both sides it probably hurt like hell coming out. He could feel the blood starting to run down his back, and it hurt to move his shoulder but what was a fight without a little damage on both sides? Using their closeness to his advantage, he grabbed her shoulder and aimed his knife right for her gut.

The blonde let out a small tch sound through her teeth at his remark, never expecting things to be that easy. 'You act like you know me at all,' Lynn thought stubbornly. He had always been so quiet the few times they spoke to each other, and now it was like the cocky-ness was written all over his face. People's true natures showed during a fight, she supposed.

The spring bit down on her jaw once she felt the blade slip away through her hands and out of her flesh, grinding against the weights in her gloves. Of course, the pain was incredible, but she trained herself to see past it and focus instead as he grabbed onto her shoulder and sent the knife jabbing her way. The girl hadn't had much else of a choice then, abandoning her small dagger, she moved swiftly - that familiar glow at her hands again.

In a flash, both her hands were above, grabbing him at the wrist and stopping his assault. "Nice try," Lynn huffed. Taking in another deep breath, she summoned all her spare strength into her torso and arms, spreading the light further. With a loud grunt, she twisted around on her good leg, picking him up by the arm and sending him flying a decent distance like a rag doll.

Yeah he was acting cocky. He was confident in his skills but it also made people mad, and when some people were mad they didn't think clearly and they made more rash decisions. Oh look at that he was thrown. The winter landed on the water ground with a sound that the writer is unsure that would be made. He rolled once but after that he was back to his feet. "Oh look at that the girl can throw." He said with a smile. He wasn't underestimating her, just trying to make her mad.

Well now they had this distance again. Magic could attack at this range but she would just take the energy from his attack, and he didn't need to have her getting more energy. He figured she would be pretty ow seeing how she probably used a lot to throw him. He re-positioned the knife in his hand, and gripped it tightly. Mason dashed forward towards Brailynn using his gift to give him greater speed. Once he was close enough he slashed at the girl.
