As Ash's training continued, she felt like she was picking up this new way of fighting, more and more. As the sun was starting to descend, and Ash's clothes, under her armor, were drenched in sweat, Yumi stood across from her with her naginata by her side.
Ash narrowed her eyes and waited. Yumi nodded and instantly charged forwards.
... Spin into a stab, Ash thought as she waited for Yumi to get close enough. As soon as she was, she turned on her heel and stepped out of the way, before lunging forwards with a thrust of her gauntlet. Yumi ducked under it though, which Ash hadn't seen coming. Crap!
In a desperate, split-second decision, Ash hopped over Yumi's back. She ended up behind her and quickly, tried her hardest to turn around into an attack. Yumi dodged it easily, and Ash's arm ended up outstretched in front of her. Yumi grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her over her back, slamming her onto the ground, all with one hand.
