How unfair. Her lips turned slightly downwards but she found her hands full before she could say anything about it. The oiled up beauty moved to place herself between Cai and the fracas around Min-hee. She had a smug look on her face that showed what she thought about her chances of defeating the local girl. Cai smiled back, she was glad this was her first opponent. Time to teach a badly needed lesson in humility.<br/><br/>Xiao was fast and certainly skilled, but she was no mistress of her art. Cai's body bent like a reed in the wind as fists and feet moved just barely to the left and right of her. It was intentionally infuriating, she did not fight back at all, merely dodged just in time to throw her opponent off. The insidious part of it was that Xiao could not back off, if she relented for even a moment it would be wide open to counter attack. And so she did the only thing she could in the face of this defense, she amped up her attack.<br/><br/>Cai quickly moved from bending to whirling, bending her knees leaping up to avoid the now rapidly coming blows. She moved slightly back with each pivot and twirl, closer and closer to the edge. It was only a matter of time before ... there. She reached out quickly, grabbed Xiao's arm and threw her behind Cai, directly off the surface into the water below. "Well." She said. "At least your clothes aren't getting wet. Wherever they are..." She bowed to her foe and then turned and saw that in the time she had eliminated one, Min-hee had thrown three out. She cocked her head to the side, impressed and a bit surprised.<br/><br/>"You were hard pressed there." She said with her confident, calm smile. "Would you like a break? I am sure whoever is left from the others will face me." No true competitor would ever back down from such a challenge. Cai could tell from Min-hee's eyes that the woman would not disappoint.<br/><br/>Moments later the two were standing as close as the most intimate lovers, arms and legs beating a constant tempo against each other as Cai enjoyed the thrill of fighting an equal. Seconds that seemed like minutes passed as the two women engaged fiercely. Neither had unleashed a true technique, there was an art to the timing of it that both seemed to understand. "Your school trained you well." Cai said, with no irony or mockery in her voice at all before they disengaged and reassessed each other. The smile on her face was a truly joyous one, not the mocking smirk that had been there before.
