It's actually kind of fascinating to watch, how she handles sports. She's not entirely lacking physically thanks to her lifestyle as an Element, but being an indoor-loving bookworm with a habit of forgetting to eat and staying up too late despite her own schedules still had its impact. Yet, her magic prowess was so exorbant, she could easily keep up with him. She wouldn't even move to catch it, just stare at it until it got reasonably close to enough to 'catch', before her magical glow encased it and fully stopped all momentum, floating it through the air and sending it back. Kind of like watching a disabled kid in a rocket-powered wheelchair win a drag race.
