There was little surprise when she already knew the attack was coming. When he bowed, she stepped forward, yet to commit her weight into the other foot. He leaped, her foot shifted, yet to touch the ground, moving to follow him. She sought to enter his centerline and had her work done for her by him deciding to jump close to her. His first strike went for her chest,<span style="font-style: italic">Bloody perv</span>. It entered her guard, striking her squarely in the chest.

All she needed to do next was to sense his next move correctly before she would be able to launch a flurry of attacks. "Did you know, that jumping is usually considered suicide in martial combat? You can't evade while in the air." She shifted her weight again, her back foot now taking the weight from the front leg after her advance.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>"Hey there!" Yumi dropped her stuff opposite this girl. "You're the new recruit in our squad right?" She moved to put her lunch tray on the table and set her stuff in the chair beside her. She watched her, take a sweet and eat it. Judging by the size of the bag, she had been going for quite a bit. "You should really stop that," She pointed at the page. "If you keep thinking of upgrading your gun all the time, you'll end up broke." Upon closer observation this was one of those heavy guns that needed a bipod to even be effective. Not the best gun to use in combat. "Oh, sorry, the name is Yumi Ogura. I'll be your squad leader from today onwards." She stuck out a hand.
