When Hunter Meets Hunter [Luka]

It felt as though his kick had not been quite as full as she would expect it to be, having it been at full force it would have shattered a rib and gave her a suprise mouthful of scattershot to spit onto her partner. Instead it would simply bruise if not for her regeneration leaving her a bit perplexed, but also slightly frustrated that she would not find a way to push the third year student. Still it seemed that maybe it had lacked the force due to most of him being pulled down through the left foot which she could not do much about despite knowing about it through her kinetic sense.

The clock was set forth with an eye coming out at Nine o clock, and a tendril at three with Black Hole Sun sitting upon the tenth hour and Jess herself the eight. Now normally someone would have never noticed the tendrils moving up and normally it would be too late if someone had noticed something but not Jess, instead she could creep up to the spot where she felt the slime pulsating and creeping up. As soon as the eye would appear her hand which was already in place would close it's fingers and the left shoulder it was attached to would pull as she would stand up as fast as she could and grab with the other hand pulling with her full might. If the slime tail still managed to get it's shots off the eye of the cyclops would alert it well before it crossed the distance, though the summon himself could not do much to dodge it aside from falling backwards onto a flat positioning taking one of the balls along the torso as it did so, gouging into the odd substance and ripping through it as though it were human flesh though neither Black Hole Sun nor Jess showed or sounded any pain off.

The line was an inch wide and ran six inches up the torso from the middle of the sternum up to the neck but it did not seem to phase the thing that much though the damage did not seem to be repairing itself but rather as if the summon was a form of zombie the damage simply did not both it's functioning and as such was not needed for regard. After this the summon would roll to it's right towards where Jess was pulling. If Luka had not shot then the summon would have gotten there sooner and helped it's mater pull as though they were trying to pull a weed from the garden. It seemed that the Slimey partner of hers had underestimated her extra sense and thought that he could get the drop on her without gambling. If he had just went up on one side he would have had a fifty, fifty shot of knowing her location and being able to get her to play a failing game of wack a mole but instead he easily came within the seven meter range of her kinetic sense.

No words needed to be exchanged between the human and her summon who intrinsically was linked telepathically and could feel the material from below. The problem was that the doll was nowhere near as powerful as Jess was and if it was destroyed Jess did not like the idea of un-summoning and trying to re-summon Black Hole Sun in the middle of fighting Luka and allowing the other person that much time to strike at her while she was unpowered. Instead if the doll fell it would have to remain damaged until the end of this battle. This was an extreme tactical problem, whatever she would do the doll would soon be lost and so instead the form dissipated and reformed as a cracked mask back upon Jess' face where she would keep him. Luka was far too fast and cunning for the clay doll tactic to be of any use really, for Jess there was simply no way to beat him without going beyond the limits of a spar and even then the possibilities all hinged on whatever the substance was. For multiple reasons those avenues were cut off by Jess herself.

Growling as she had her hands encased Jess felt the movement but had been too concerned with her summon's safety of something that wasn't even it's real body she had been too slow to protect her own. It was a tale as old as time for the Slavic girl and a serious combat flaw of hers, the concern of hers for others above herself was too much to be feasible on the battlefield. He was simply far too much stronger than her for her to bust out any sort of defense in comparison to the sort of leverage the Slime had set up below ground and it really would require a cheap shot to bust out of this and that was against the agreement of honor they had set up. So instead Jess would have to resort to quite the tricky tactic, while on most it would be self damaging, if Luka allowed this the blood that would break free from her skin in those few moments before the skin reformed would seriously harm the portion of his body surrounding it. Each drop would be like a punch from the girl herself no matter the amount of blood that was spilled and thus this could be more painful for him than for the girl who was used to healing from such injuries as she was about to inflict upon herself.




















With a roar Jess would twist with her whole body to the left while locking her wrists in place as Luka pulled, this would snap the outside bone and cause the wrist to be able to be contorted in ways that it normally would not be able to. If the other student kept a firm grip, the girl who could heal from this in a bit would attempt to break her own bones to not only force her own blood out in a few blasts which would be like a flurry of punches but could slip free from the grip thanks to the new form of her forearms and the liquid allowing a nice lubrication. The bones would splinter and not fully crack allowing for the skin to be punctured and them to be moved but the bone to not be severed. If this would be allowed Jess would laugh in true glee with just the slightest hint of pain, it sounded more like someone who had just gotten done lifting and throwing a huge weight than someone who had so viciously injured themselves. This was something that the Polish girl's nerves were used to and the pain no longer made her black out as it once would have so long ago the first time her bones were broken. "Ohhhhh Luka, you have made me soooo happy! It has been forever since I've had to do something like this" Jess would exclaim in triumphant exuberance as she would jump backwards propelled by her own air pressure just mere inches off the ground for a backwards distance of five meters before touching down and bringing her hands close to her chest as the skin reformed on them and the bones slowly, ever so subtly began to shift back into the correct place. "Kicks only for the next....hrmmm couple minutes" Jess would feign looking at her wounds and bringing her floppy hands up to her eyes to look at the wounds before fully focusing her eyes on the ground area where she was certain he was, just not to what extent he was down there.

This was fun, this was really, really fun.

Jess' face fell as she realized what she had unintentionally done to Luka, to her, this was part of the fun. Sure it would take a long time for her to heal the slight fracturing but the bones were not fully broken and would heal under her own power with time especially with how her body could pump the marrow into her bones with her blood. Still it was disconcerting to others who were not used to seeing people injure themselves, to Jess it had been her conceding to falling to his fist blow and disabling herself a bit to reflect that but now it seemed she had only upset the other person. It was rather the opposite of what the Slavic girl had wanted to do with this activity and so she felt as though she dropped the ball in her over excitement.

Gathering her voice and clearing out her joy and instilling a more serious tone Jess would sit down cross legged with her arms set to their correct position to heal best while she would speak. It was clear that continuing the spar right now would not be the best route for them to take and so it was time for her to try and verbally explain herself. "I must apologize, Luka, I can regenerate and the bones are not fully broken and so while it will take longer no doubt than the spar would have taken they will heal with time. I just wanted a way for you to score a point for your strategy so I took my arms out to represent the attack's success. Instead of thinking about how that would affect you. For that I am sorry and I will try to be better in the future rather than disregarding my own body like that. Will you forgive me?" With her Crimson eyes she would look up from the ground where they had been staring as she talked. They would focus on the eyes of his human form and be accompanied with a sheepish grin from her, to show that she was truly fine.

So to shift the subject and bring about something for them to do Jess would ask a couple questions to the slimey across from her, "So what do you like to do when you aren't creeping around town backdrops? Do you always care about ladies like that or is it just me?" The last was delivered with a devilish grin belaying her playful nature at it, though she was rather interested in the explanation behind her first quizzical sonic sentence. Already a lot of her flesh was healing and the start of the fractures were beginning to knit themselves together, though they were far from healed yet. Instead of sparring with their bodies they would have to settle for their minds for now as Jess had determined her current state would only inflict further worry onto Luka and that was not something she was interesting in evoking from them, it was not something she likes to evoke from most people.
