Miwa smiled rather innocently at Clyde's comment, watching him take to the sky once more.
"Of course, all that needs to be done is adjusting the polarity. When two objects give off opposite charges, the result is the repulsion of the molecules in what can be manipulated into an explosion."
Upon the whip wrapping around her wrist, Miwa let a current of electricity shoot through her arm as she quickly changed the polarity from positive to negative, causing an explosion around her arm. She winced as she felt the explosion singe her flesh, but victory comes with sacrifices, as her explosion managed to blast away a good portion of the makeshift weapon, as she wormed out of the undesirable situation.
The shuriken quickly formed into her right hand as she bombarded the tendril shooting out with a series of explosions. Timing was key here, and Miwa needed to find even the slightest of openings she could exploit.
"Sorry, Senpai, but it will take more than that to take me out."

"If you say so, I'll just make things a little tougher." He retorted confidently as her shurikens collided with the tendril that aimed to slam into her. Just as they collided though another tendril grew out from underneath it, bypassing the shurikens she threw as the exploded against the first one. This new one immediately whipped down at her aiming to break her concentration.
All of the tendrils would dissipate as he nimbly landed on the ground and began to dash to the left of the girl. His weapon had returned to a blade like shape which he swung at her from different directions as he circled around her, moving much faster than he had been before, using the full amount of his speed she would certainly notice a large gap between their movements. With each step he took he seemed to be leaving a trail of his power around her until finally he had made a perfect circle around her. "You like a challenge, so I won't disappoint you." He said as he reached where he had first landed he stabbed the blade into the ground, causing the area he had put his reiatsu into to move upwards and try to encase Miwa in a web of energy.

Damn it.... was the first thing that popped into Miwa's head as the offshooting tendril caught her across the cheek, a cut now clearly shown against her facial features. The slight trickle of blood dripped from the wound as she tried to follow Clyde's hastened movements with her eyes. She couldn't keep up with his movements, but there was the reiatsu trial he was leaving behind.
She couldn't force out more of her power without going over the voltage limit of 15 kV. Not only that the earth seemed to be moving around her feet, as her senses seemed to be dulled by the spiritual pressure building up against her. There was only one chance she had. Placing her palms onto the rising earth, she let electricity course through. Every piece of earth usually contains iron and other conductors, she just needed to take advantage of them to a new degree.
The earth began to crack as the conductors amplified that measly 15 kV she was emitting. Now she just needed to reverse the polarity before the surrounding energy incapacitated her....

Clyde watched to see how she would get out of his latest attack, if she even could. If things got bad he of course would stop his attack to prevent any serious injuries as she was a friend of his. He examined her movements carefully and was surprised to see her moving her arms against the attack he had set up. His eyes widened as the polarity of energy seemed to shift, causing the cage of reiatsu to expand outward and eventually explode outward from Miwa, leaving her unharmed.
"No time to dodge!" He expressed to himself as the explosion raged towards the boy who only had enough time to raise a barrier of his own to protect himself. However since the power heading towards him was mostly his own, it was far stronger than had it been Miwa's. There would be a bit of silence after the attack, as debris and smoke would cloud their vision, but as it faded it would reveal that his barrier was destroyed and most of his shirt had been ripped to shreds revealing some visible bruises from the attack on his chest.
"Whoa...how did she do that?" The human thought with general surprise, had he not been as strong as he was, that actually could have seriously hurt him. He took in couple of breaths and regained his composure, flashing a rather impressed look to the girl. "Not bad, are you ok?"

It had worked better than she had thought as she managed to send the majority of Clyde's attack back at him. Glancing at her hands, she noticed they both exuded the smell of burnt flesh. It was obvious, Miwa had been using the opposite charges of her own body to replicate a magnet and reversing them to form an explosion. It was the same tactic she used when forming weapons, and it was rather impressive to see it on a larger scale.
As the smoke cleared, Miwa looked over in Clyde's direction, forcing a smile at the visual that befell her sight as she pulled herself to her feet.
"Damn, Clyde, you're so impulsive. You already are half naked?"
Eyeing him up and down, she let out a rather sarcastic laugh at Clyde's concern, as she brought her right forefinger to her lips.
"Depends. You gonna be my knight in shining armor?"
Her other hand remained behind her back, slowly reforming her katana.

(Music)"What...Huh?" Clyde quickly shot his head down towards his clothing and only now seemed to realize that his shirt was pretty much gone, in fact in that motion it pretty much fell off in a pile of ripped up pieces of cloth. "Ah, No! I only had one of those left; Daaamn it!" He picked up the shreds in a half hearted attempted to save it but it was too late for his shirt. "I knew this would happen eventually, I just didn't want to believe it."Even as the boy comically went over to the "destruction" of his shirt there would be one thing very noticeable about his body and that was his right arm. The reiatsu he had been using was actually visible across it like cracks in the arm, running up to about his elbow. It looked quite painful but it didn't seem to be bothering him at all. The boy shot his head up again as he noticed Miwa looking him up and down, as if she was sizing him or something like a piece of meat. "H-hey! What's with that look? I'm supposed to be training you, not be some eye candy!" The boy yelled out, a bit flustered and embarrassed. He threw his hands up in the air in frustration as she sarcastically laughed at him.

Miwa's fit of laughter grew as she choked out her next statement.
"My, my, aren't we an innocent one!! You could use some coverup on that arm though" She eyed Clyde's right arm as her laughter ceased, the serious expression reforming, the smile still plastered across her face. "I don't know, you tell me."
Bringing her left hand out from behind her back, she let a wave of electricity fly towards Clyde. She would use the wave as a first assault, as her feet had already left the ground, her leg suddenly coming down upon Clyde, cloaked in her reiatsu. Should he dodge both, Miwa would rotate her body around to bring her katana down upon Clyde.

He looked at the arm and then back at Miwa, who still was giving him that look. "This is the form my arm takes when I active my power...and I WOULD have had covered it up if it wasn't for that attack of yours." he sighed out in exasperation. When he noticed her still msiling at him like that the boy began to quickly shake his head in embarrassment, calling out, "T-ell you? Would you just get back to the fight already...geez!" He leapt up back into a standing position and quickly recreated a bladed weapon in his right hand.
"Enough messing around alre-" Clyde began to say when he was interrupted by a slash of reiatsu that came out of nowhere from Miwa's katana. She had formed it while he was too busy being flustered. "Gah~" Surprised he quickly jumped to the side of it. Miwa had already moved though and attempted to kick at him with her leg, and Clyde was too focused on the prior events that he wasn't completely ready for a sudden kick which smacked into his side and sent a wave of electricity into him. This caused him to roll backwards a small amount before he recovered and flipped back onto his feet.
"Crescent Slash!" He yelled out in retaliation, sending the wave of energy at her as she was just starting to land on the ground. Just as he did this he wound his weapon again sending another one into the air above the first one should she try to jump over it. He may have been embarrassed but he wouldn't let up just cause of that.

Landing back on her feet, Miwa kept her stance low to the ground, her katana held firmly behind her arched back, her left hand pressed on the ground in front of her. The smile still remained on her face. "I'm amazed that cover attack even got to you..."
She had little time to gloat, as the incoming wave of energy brought her to her senses. Stabbing at the earth in front of her, she coursed her electricity through the soil. Using the blade as a lightning rod of sorts, she changed her polarity of her attacks, the subterranean explosion causing the chunk of earth to launch out of the earth. Swiftly, Miwa jumped onto the airborne debris, using it as a springboard to propel her over the second wave of reiatsu. As her body reached outward to avoid the wave underneath her, she spun herself around,much like an acrobat in the pole vault. She quickly reformed her blade into Thor's hammer, sending it crashing down onto Clyde.

Clyde shook his head regaining his focus as he had fired his second crescent slash. It seemed Miwa was getting a second wind after his last attack had backfired, so he needed to put the pressure on again if he wanted to get in control of this fight. He watched her leap over his second crescent slash successfully but didn't stand still he too would leap into the air as she managed to get over the second wave and while she was still flipping over it he would aim to whip his weapon at her once more to knock her towards the ground.
If it succeeded, she would be hurdling towards the ground before her weapon had even fully formed, meanwhile the boy would be above her in the air once again. Bringing his sword up and he swung vertically until it pointed at her where it would then send a large of wave of energy. As this one came towards her, however, Clyde extended the length of his blade to fly past it and aim right for her twisting and turning randomly to make it more unpredictable. It would reach her just moments before the slash of energy would.

Dropping the partially formed hammer, Miwa was instantly pulled downward by her Tesla Coil as the weight succumbed to gravity. Using her strength in addition to applying a positive current, the sledgehammer fly upward once more, clashing with the weapon that was intent on bringing her down, knocking it aside at least for the moment.
Now the concern was on the wave of energy coming at her. As the hammer came back into her grip, she shattered it into a single kunai. Coursing her energy through the Tesla Coil, she swung the chain much like an electrified whip, aiming for the middle of the wave as she attempted to use her reiatsu to lacerate the wave, leaving her unharmed. Or so she thought.
She successfully managed to splice the energy, but she felt a sharp pain shoot through her right shoulder as she saw her own blood flying through the air, followed shortly by what appeared to be a tendril. She gripped the blood soaked blade, as she let Furina locate its way to the source with a quick surge of electricity. A faint trickle of blood dripped slowly from her mouth as she smiled, her body falling forward as the tendril receded. Her mind was drifting back and forth into a semi conscious state, her eyes rolling back into her head. Her frame spiraled towards the ground head first, her lifeless limbs emitting sparks as she descended. Her efforts seemed to be in vain, she couldn't seem to win.
Her eyelids closed, as she awaited the impact that would befall her body crashing into the earth.

Her descent was stopped almost immediately however as Clyde noticed something was wrong. Using his wings he flew downward and caught with his arms, catching just before she hit the ground and preventing serious injury. "Miwa, what's the matter? Are you okay?" He asked worried about his friend, had he overdone it? He didn't put much power behind his attack and wound was far from being fatal, but she seemed to be growing weak. Perhaps his spiritual pressure was harming her. He regressed much of his energy back into his body in an attempt to avoid hurting her further.
"If something was wrong you should have told me, damn it..." He scolded her, gently placing her back on the ground. Using his power he placed his hand upon her wound and closed with it reiatsu, preventing her from losing anymore blood and then he waited to see if she was awake or not. Was she really done? He could scarcely believe she had given up like this. "I healed your wound so you should recover...is everything alright? What happened there?" They were getting close to be done and he did not want to end the fight early, but if her life was at risk he had to prevent her from harming herself.

Opening her eyelids only slightly, she saw Clyde leaning over her as he mended her wound. A slight smile emerged across her face as her eyes fully opened, looking into Clyde's own "You're far too soft, you know that? It's one fatal flaw I see in you." Her right hand came up slightly, as a rattling noise was heard.
In an instance, chains wrapped themselves around Clyde's ankles, as Miwa pulled herself shakily to her feet.She was drained of stamina, but such a simple injury will not lead to her defeat, not if she had anything to say about it, that was. As she wrapped the chain around her fingers, she let her reiatsu course throughout Clyde's body. Bringing her face merely inches from Clyde's, she smirked, the egotistical personality of hers surfacing. "So how's that, onee-chan?"

Clyde was surprised to see her eyes open so quickly thinking that she might have been unconscious. It was then she reprimanded him for his softness and naivety catching him completely off guard, he was under the impression she was too weak to move.
"Wh-what?" He coughed out in shock as his eyes followed her hands movements, the next thing he knew his ankles were wrapped up in her tesla coils. She tricked him! The boy had honestly worried he had overdone it and she played him for a fool. He took the bait completely, not thinking she would try such a dirty trick.
"Gah!" He yelled out in pain as a sudden burst of electricity surged up his body from his feet. God damn shock treatment, how Clyde did not miss you in the least. The boy merely cringed as Miwa gloated right in front of him before starting to lose his footing, currently helpless against her technique. He clenched his right fist, focusing on it so that he could get some control over his power despite the electricity so that he could get out of this attack.

It was remarkable how such a simple feint could lure one into a vulnerable position. But the proof was standing before her. All dirty jokes aside, she had to capitalize on this opportunity. It wasn't a complete buff on her part, her power was waning as she struggled to keep it at the sufficient amount.
Her right foot kicked off the ground as she pushed off the terrain underneath, a swift palm thrust heading straight for Clyde's skull. If she timed it just right, the added pulse of her reiatsu would be enough to knock Clyde unconscious, at least for a couple of minutes at his level. As her body flew towards him, a malicious intent to maim clearly etched across her face, as the palm came ever closer to it's target.

Clyde was not one to get mad, but this was certainly a frustrating predicament he found himself in. Electric coils wrapped around his legs, electricity coursing through his body, Miwa's gloating, and finally her incoming attack to the boy's skull. It would certainly be enough to drive a regular person mad...or at least unconscious anyway. Clyde was not a regular person, however. Miwa probably thought that she could end this fight with her next attack, but the boy was ready for it this time.
It was hard to concentrate his reiatsu due to the electrical currents that numbed his entire body. But he was able to make a small connection with the earth he placed his hand onto, and that was all he needed. From that connection he charged the ground beneath the coils. In a flash a small burst of energy would shoot out from the ground, strong enough to remove the tesla coils right from the boy's legs. In that instance he dove to the right as quickly as he could to avoid her palm strike before spinning himself around and sweeping his foot underneath Miwa's to knock her to the ground. He didn't follow up the attack though, instead taking that moment to catch his breath.

Miwa watched as her palm flew by Clyde, striking naught but empty air. He dodged it? Doubt filled her mind as she fell onto all fours. Glancing at the earth between her hands, numb from her own power, she reached the unprecedented conclusion that she had lost once more. Even if it could be considered a draw, it still stung at her conscience like a swarm of starved mosquitos. A draw was not a win, it was more along the fact that she could not properly execute a proper finish.
As she remained in a prone position, she glanced towards the boy known as Clyde. "So, this is it, then?" She would gasp out between forced breathing, her energy was quickly fading from her meager body. Surely even with her drive, the body had succumbed to Furina once again.

Clyde fell to one knee after successfully dodging her attack. His body was incredibly numb from the electrocution he had received just moments earlier from her attack, in fact, it was safe to say that he could not follow up on his sweeping kick and was too numb to deliver any sort of "finishing blow". Though the truth was, to Clyde, this had been training. He knew from the start he had no intention of letting the fight get too serious and it was merely to continue to push the limits of Miwa's strength.
What he had not taken into account was how Miwa would take the fight. This was not the first time the two had battled, in fact this was perhaps the fifth time since their meeting. Only now, as he looked at her did he realize how badly she had wanted to win. When he dodged that attack, it was the first time he had actually seen her waver her resolve. It was how he knew how important she treated these fights, using all of her cunning and power to fight against him.
With somber eyes, he looked at her with a certain understanding that he only now seemed to put together. "Miwa...don't be so disheartened. I wouldn't be a very good Onee-chan if I couldn't protect myself." He spoke, kneeling down now close to her. "Your attack was preformed perfectly and to be honest I only dodged by the skin of my teeth. Just because it didn't work doesn't mean you should lose that resolve of yours. Do you think I have won all of my fights? Its the ones that I lost that really taught me the most. I picked myself up and learned from those losses to better myself. This is "it" only if you stop moving forward. And I know you still can." He said with a light smile, hoping to cheer her up.

Pushing her hands, singed by Furina, she pushed herself upward onto her knees. She would remain slumped on her knees for a while, taking the time to contemplate Clyde's words. Her black hair covered her face as she looked up towards Clyde, a smirk could be seen from underneath the untidy mass of strands masking her face.
"Spare me all that philosophical crap, will ya? If you think this is enough to discourage me, then obviously you don't know me well enough. I will keep striving until I can defeat even the strongest of adversaries. After all, who else will be there to protect the weak? I've seen several fall before me, a few of which were dear to me, but that shall be my motivation to press on. even should I die, my spirit will rest easy knowing I gave it everything I had. So to put it simply, Clyde-Senpai, it's just a matter of time before I defeat you. For now, I'll just settle for a draw."
She let out a heavy sigh, she wanted to win with every ounce of her fiber, but as long as she was alive, she hadn't completely lost. She still had that chance to overcome her obstacles. She would persevere, for her mother's sake, nay, for all those depending on her.
[Training End]

Clyde noddd lightly to the girl as she was quick to answer him. Even with her determind answer he could tell she was trying to act tough in front of Clyde in her moment of weakness, he could tell when she sighed so openly.
No amount of determined speaking could hide how she ws feeling. But the boy understood why she as doing so. She had to protect her pride so tht she could fight for the people she wnted to protect, and Clyde could respect that.
"Well then..." He started to say a the two nealt there in the sunny training grounds, giving her a sincere look with his eyes. "I'll look forward to that day, Miwa." He finally said, simply, showing a strong resolve of his own in his gray eyes. There was a pause as he looked at her, before his eyes quickly drted bck to his body. "I guess I'll actually need a new shirt now...thanks a lot." He added with smirk.
