For her first real combat classes, officially sanctioned by her new role as a combat teacher, Mia wanted to do something simple. She'd felt like in the past years during the tournaments, some animosity tended to leak into the fights, but she just wanted to see what these kids could do off their own backs as fighters, especially when competing against a fellow student, or against circumstances, that put them at roughly equal footing. Now she wasn't a genius or anything she knew that readily enough... but she felt like she had enough battle instinct from watching these kids to come up with some strong pairings out of those who'd ended up signing up.
Today's pairing though? Hoo boy...
Jasmine and Angel flew so high above the rest of the students it was hard to really pair them against anyone else who'd actually signed up. Kids like Yumi, Tetsuko, Kirk, they all held a similar level of power but of those that signed up there was no one to really compete. Either she came up with a really harsh handicap for one of them or she paired them against eachother and... well, she wasn't sure how that was gonna go. Angel had improved a fair bit but she could still have her moments where she tried to hold the people around her up in the spotlight. She seemed to be saying she was over any gripes she had about Jasmine but...
Well, they'd see.
As far as Jasmine, she wasn't expecting the girl to go easy at all. And heck, she shouldn't but Mia had a small handicap in mind to level the playing field at least a little. Jasmine had a chunk of field experience on her and plenty in intense training sessions with her, but they'd tackle that when they got there. She just wanted to make sure she was prepared to put a stop things if either of 'em got out of hand.
Having arranged a bus to take her, and the other students involved to the Saikyuen building on the outskirts of Tokyo, the huge dome shaped building had prepared a few unique battle terrains for them, and Mia had even called in the help of another hero, a pink haired woman with fox ears who'd be standing beside her as they waited for the students to suit up and come out of the preperation rooms.
Angel and Jasmine would enter from opposite ends of the room, Mia would allow for some introductions, before stepping out into the middle of the field. It was decorated like just a rough, earthy terrain, with some clear boulders that weren't built into the foundation, a fair so many that it'd be hard to walk a few steps in any direction without them. "Alright you two. Simple sparring match, no rules beyond that. As I have examined you both seperately I still feel Jasmine holds the advantage (about 3000 total exp lead). So, Jaz? Ya mind?"
She'd dip her head towards the field, inviting Jasmine to come up and stand with her. She was about to surprise her with something but she didn't see Jasmine being unable to handle it. Mia herself stepped back off the field, and pointed a thumb to the pinkette kitsune holding a mirror beside her. "This is Reversal. She'll be helping manage the Arena today. Reversal?"
"Rightio RedHornio!~" She jumped up enthusiastically before bringing out her mirror. There was a flash of light, and in the reflection of her mirror was the entire battlefield and Jasmine on it, frozen like a picture. The mirror, now hovering in the air ahead of Reversal, was spun about with a light 'MMF' from the woman till the image was reversed. The boulders would begin to lift, and so would Jasmine. As the picture had been reversed, so had gravity for everything captured on the picture, heading towards the ceiling. Mia would wait for Jasmine to get her barings before stepping up again.
"And there's Jasmine's handicap. Other than that, the two of you are to fight. The gravity will change every few seconds (every round) so be mindful of the rocks going back and forth. And er... try to keep your barings Jaz." She gave the two toned lass a wink, and pulled back.
"Other than that? Hey, have at it.~"

| A ngel found herself both rather conflicted as she was both excited and a bit disappointed at the same time. She was excited because she and a few other select students had been driven via bus to the special terrain training building for one of Red Horn's combat classes, and she had been paired up to face off against Jasmine once more. The reason was disappointed was because once they arrived and began to get ready Red Horn told them both that Jasmine would be given a handicap to give Angel a better fighting chance. This made it sound like Angel wasn't strong or skilled enough to handle Jasmine on a straight on fight, but the young winged hero wouldn't voice this opinion and would just do her best to enjoy the experience. Once the two female heroes walked out into the earth like arena that was covered in boulders Angel would find that Red Horn was joined by a kitsune like hero. Angel would remain silent as Red Horn introduced the hero as Reversal before having Jasmine step up and explain that Jasmine's handicap would be that Reversal would be using her quirk to swap out Jasmine's gravity periodically. This caused Angel to cross her arms as she tried to push past her hurt pride to focus on forming strategies. As Red Horn said they could get started Angel just nodded and went to her side of the arena. "Alright Ms.Red Horn. Whatever you think is best."As she walked to her side of the arena it was clear that Angel wished she was fighting Jasmine without outside help, but she also knew that this was just meant to be a training session, and not an all out brawl. Once she was on her side of the earth like arena Angel just began to stretch and flex her wings as she popped her knuckles looking toward Jasmine giving her a small smirk. Angel wasn't so prideful or vein as to believe that she could win without having to give it her all because Jasmine like herself was one of the top fighters in their year, and maybe even the school as a whole so this was not gonna be easy by any means. All that being said there was something that Angel had to let out if she was gonna truly focus on the fight, and so she called out to Jasmine from across the arena. "If I do somehow manage to win this fight I want you to know I won't be counting it as a true victory because I have outside help. I know I'm most likely not strong enough yet to beat you in a one on one, but when that day does come I want that victory to be because of my own skills and merits as a fighter and hero. That being said let's make this fun and show the younger students what they can accomplish if they train hard and stick with it. You can make the first move."Angel then went silent as she got into her fighting stance, and made sure she was ready to open her wings to take flight or attack from a distance at a moments notice. Despite her bravado Angel knew one thing for certain. Even with Jasmine's handicap this was going one of the most challenging matches of her life. |

Jasmine had been relatively quiet the entire time. It was about that time of the year when another combat exercise would come around the corner and she was more than happy to sign up for one provided someone who wanted to fight her showed themselves. When she noticed that she'd be paired up against Angel she wasn't exactly surprised. She knew the pinkette wanted to prove her mettle against the two-toned lass and honestly Jasmine welcomed the challenge. "Yea let's run it, this is where the shooters get shot down, this is where the hunters get hunted," Jasmine mused to herself quietly, eyes closed as she freestyled to the beat she produced blaring in her earphones. Honestly with her career starting to get off the ground Jasmine had found herself absolutely elated and as a result her productivity levels had risen to borderline supernatural levels. Even this new track had been something she'd only recently produced, decidedly adding a competitive edge to the tone of the track via the lyrics she was now coming up with on the spot. "Double or nothin', I know he bluffin'. If he yappin' Imma hush 'im, it ain't no discussion. Show 'im that I really do it and he really doesn’t. If you really want it now it's time to run it. If you gonna talk that talk, then you better know how to walk that walk. Tell the opp let’s run it." Yeah, Jasmine was in a mood alright. Even through the vibes though she managed to get herself over to the arena, clad in her usual training attire, compression sleeve and all. She walked up to center stage just as Mia had advised her... only to blink almost dumbly as she was suddenly... falling... up? Okay, this is new, she thought as she flipped in mid air rather easily, her feet touching the ceiling like it was your average surface. It took Jasmine a second to process the situation but she was literally upside down standing on the ceiling. Holy shit! she thought to herself as an all too amused grin crossed her face, the lass quick to actually slide-walk backwards, effectively moonwalking on the fucking ceiling, "Always wanted to do some dumb shit like that." From up above Jasmine listened to what Angel was saying, glancing up (or... down?) at the winged student with a raised brow. A soft sigh left her lips as she smiled and shook her head. "Handicap or not, you ain't winning this one Angie, so how 'bout you focus on learning something instead?" She asked-stated, her competitive glint coming across as she begun to warm and psyche herself up. Light on her feet, Jasmine begun hopping in place much alike a boxer, opening up with a few lightning-fast strikes into the open air before comboing it with a few kicks... ending the routine up with a haymaker of a roundhouse kick that unleashed a small gust of air into the open area around her. She grinned, realizing she was feeling herself today, and boy did it feel good to fight for something that didn't feel like life or death again.
"First move? Aight, fuck it, why not?" She asked, more herself than anybody else really, before crouching down. If she understood how this change in gravity works she could likely used it to her advantage once she got used to the disorientation that would undoubtedly slow her down a tad. Yet she trusted in her agility and knew she could likely maneuver well enough even if the world decided to become the inside of a washing machine. Jasmine's grin was still firmly on her face even as she finally launched herself directly at Angel from above, shooting through the air at speeds that made her seem like a bullet. "Heads up Tweety!" She roared aloud with an excited grin on her face. The moment she was close enough she cocked her fist back and struck forward with a good chunk of her strength, further enhancing the blow by releasing a small explosion from her elbow at the apex, making it that much more difficult to react to in time... and that much more devastating. |

"Nice work Reversal." Mia chimed back to her co-worker for the job before focusing back on the fight. Seems like things were gonna be going as expected. She took a long slow breath as Angel showed some clear annoyance with the handicap and made sure to declare that if she won, it wouldn't be a clear victory. Mia didn't know what else to expect really, but she'd been looking at the combat scores and she needed to make sure she didn't show any exceptionist nature of favouritism. At the end of the day Jasmine was still scoring higher overall when you took an average of the scores and... well, she hoped this would be an interesting way to test them both. A unique arena, a unique dynamic, and Jaz, who relied on her explosions to get through the air, would have to constantly be battling against the surprise gravity shifts. She hoped both students would learn something from this and just... loosen up for the new year, especially with graduation so close in their future, but hey, if Angel wanted to treat it like a competition, go ahead. So long as things didn't get too heated she wasn't gonna comment.
When Jasmine started moonwalking on the ceiling though... ah fuck. She caved, snorting and chuckling as she watched her have her fun. Reversal behind her pouted from holding their mirror. "This isn't a party trick-SNRRT!~" And she quickly caved too, giggling along, clearly not all that serious. Mia did make sure to add in though-
"Just enjoy it while ya can, we can't always call on heroes just so you guys can have a fun fight."
With that she'd let the two of them get started. Angel sacrificed the opening move and let Jasmine get her barings it would seem. Mia didn't know if the strike was purposely trying to get her as close to the ground before the gravity shifted again or not, but it was either a real smart move or a real lucky one in that respect. Mia gave a tap of Reversal's shoulder, and the kitsune woman nodded, suddenly spinning the mirror and re-aligning it sharply. Jasmine would feel the force she put into reaching the ceiling come crashing through her a bit as gravity piled ontop of it and let her feet touch the ground again. There was a moment of rumbling... and then-
PHWOOM!
The boulders that had hit the ceiling rapidly began to fall, crashing down towards the ground one after the other, some slightly lodged in the ceiling and taking a second longer to fall, but like deadly projectiles they came down one after another, crashing into the rocky terrain that made up the battlefield. More chunks of earth were dislodged, and each time the boulders crashed, it became clear more rubble and shards would be added to the rain of pain. The room had a high enough ceiling that while no object could reach terminal velocity, it could still pack a hell of a punch even midway through it's fall.
"Hey." Mia nudged reversal quietly, eyes still on the fight but... giving the cute Kitsune a glance now and then. "You on duty after this?"

| A s both Red Horn and reversal couldn't help but crack up at Jasmine's comedy antics as she did the moonwalk on the ceiling Angel made herself remain focused and composed. This wasn't like the brawl against Red Horn at her cabin where she could truly let loose and not worry about anything. Jasmine was a different type of foe where one false move on Angel's part would end up in disaster. Once Jasmine launched herself toward the winged lass using her superior speed to her advantage Angel just braced herself and waited for Jasmine to get closer. Jasmine would see how much she had improved during this fight. It was time to show the living explosion what the Angel of Mercy was capable of! "Bring it on!"As Jasmine launched her explosion aided punch Angel quickly used her wings by flapping them hard using the gust of air they generated to launch herself backward a few feet though thanks to Jasmine's slightly faster speed the punch did manage to graze Angel's cheek sending a throbbing sting through it which almost threw Angel off balance as she skid backward. As Angel prepared her first attack she noticed out of the corner of her eye Kitsune use her quirk to once again change the gravity for Jasmine which meant that this was Angel's chance. The young winged girl would launch herself forward using her super strength in her legs and wings the force of which left a small foot crater from Angel's left foot as she rushed Jasmine at top speed which made her resemble a white and pink blur of motion as the rocks fell around her. As she got close Angel would skid to a stop and sent both of her arms straight forward as she clapped her hands together with such force that it created the sound of an extremely loud thunder clap as well as a large disorienting shockwave in Jasmine's direction in Angel's attempt to disorient Jasmine to make it more difficult for her to focus on the arena conditions, or on her long range explosions. This was Angel's thunderclap of Zeus technique. "Ms.Red Horn could handle this! Let's see if you can too!"Once this was done, and hopefully Jasmine's mind being scrambled Angel would take flight into the air where she met and caught one of the falling boulders which she quickly threw down at Jasmine as a distraction as she launched 10 feathers five from each wing down toward the arms and legs of the explosive hero. If Red Horn insisted on handicapping Jasmine, Angel was gonna use it to her advantage! |

The moment Jasmine touched the actual floor she was already prepared for gravity to switch up on her. Her attack had missed -- she had to give Angel props for that one -- but it still managed to graze the winged lass. The tides shifted and Caldera immediately felt the force of gravity crash down on top of her shoulders. Given her strength, durability, and the fact that she had been expecting it Jasmine had little trouble quickly adjusting to the sudden change. A confident grin spread across Jasmine's face as she adjusted to the newly added on pressure. Seeing as Angel had gone on the back foot, the two-toned lass decided to posture a little, puff her chest out in a challenging gesture of a taunt she reckoned might get under Angel's skin. Mia did tell them to have some fun... so she was going to do exactly that. The girl quickly spread her legs apart, left foot forward while she shifted her weight onto the right. She then bent her right arm and raised her fist to her face while her left arm was stretched out forward, fist pointing to the ground. A mock fighting stance, if you will, all while her eyes begun to glow azure. "Try me." Adrenaline fueled Jasmine as she watched Angel shoot forward in a sudden burst of speed, closing the distance between them in but a short moment. What she expected had never come and Jasmine quirked a curious brow as the pinkette, instead of trying a full on frontal assault, clapped her hands together right in front of her. The action resulted in a sudden blast of compressed air that hit Jasmine's senses like a freight train, dazing her and making her stagger momentarily, her eyes seeing white. Yet instead of backing down from it the battle-hardened American focused all of her senses, forcing them into sixth gear. Everything around her darkened and slowed as she gained accelerated perception, her vision sharpening to the point she could actually see through the blur. She could quickly tell she wasn't going to be able to aim properly until the rest of the mud in her eyesight cleared, taking ranged attacks out of the equation... but given that this was Angel she was going up against, that wasn't in the menu to begin with. As slabs of rocks begun crashing down on top of them Jasmine felt her periphery increase to a full three-sixty degree angle, every single one of her five senses sharpening to the point it seemed like a sixth sense of sorts. She watched Angel with a dazed yet still keen eye, all while carefully maneuvering along the boulders that kept raining down on top of her, coming out of the hail of stone without so much as a scratch. Angel's next play came into view, making Jasmine unable to bite down the smirk that was spurred on by anticipation. A massive boulder was flung her way, behind which she could make out Angel hurling a hail of razor sharp feathers towards her as well. Jasmine waited until the very last second to simply hop out of the way of the boulder, all while swinging her arm sideways and releasing a large wave of explosions to knock the feathers out of the air mere meters away from her. Attack deflected. Smokescreen created. It was time to act. Once again Jasmine shot forward to meet winged heroine, this time in the air. Using the fire and chaos her explosions had created to shroud herself Caldera came whizzing into the air like a lightning bolt, demolishing whatever space Angel had built between the two of them like a wrecking ball. Once right above her head, Jasmine would push her palm against one of her wings, "Peek-a-boo!" The second the words left her mouth, a relatively small yet painful focused explosion would attempt to come crashing down onto her wing, the leftover energy of which would attempt to quickly seep into Angel's skin and wreak havoc on her body, causing her to feel tremors with the goal of hindering how well she moved. Jasmine made no attempt to halt her movement, instead letting the momentum of her charge carry her forward and behind Angel. The musician freely spread her arms and legs, fully ready for gravity to take her in a completely opposite direction again. |

"Oh er, no actually. I actually just had a morning shift today. Booked a long holiday weekend since I've been needing a bit of a break-" The Reversal heroine began to answer, her own eyes definitely still focused on the fight even as Mia and her started to make some small talk. She glanced to the tall, beefy oni, tipping her head to the side innocently as she asked. "Why? Did you have more classes you wanted me to work on you with?"
Mia shook her head with a wide tusk filled smile. "Oh no, no, I just er... well I mean it's gonna be a long day. If ya don't mind stickin' around I wouldn't mind buyin' you a drink later.~"
The foxy heroine blushed a little more clearly as she caught on to Redhorn's intent, but before she could get a full confirmation, or decline out, Mia leaned forward with a hand resting on her shoulder, focusing on the fight a little more intently. Angel was making her moves by now and slapping Jasmine with her thunderclap move, Mia hissing a little behind her teeth. She knew Jasmine had some keen senses about her, but Mia meant it more metaphorically, when that blast had hit her she remembered being pretty blurry eyed for a while as her brain tried to unrattle. "Sorry, finish that thought in a sec. These two are gonna heat up quick knowing them."
And that it did, while Angel definitely knew her stuff, making sure to use the environment to her advantage and get some projectile time out of the shifting rocks, Jasmine was quick to counter the attack with a double strike of her own, getting a smoke screen out of an attack and trying to even the playing field the same way Mia herself had when she went up against the birdie out on her own land. The kids were quick and fast and even with some prime meat beside her she had to keep her eyes on the battle. Any moment with these two of all people she could see the battle flaring to a boiling point and she'd need to step in if that was gonna happen.
With Jasmine lingering in the air, Reversal took a breath to calm her nerves from Redhorn flustering her a bit and slowly started to turn the mirror again. Jasmine would feel a second of weightlessness as gravity decided which way it was going, and then it hit her in the opposite direction all at once. The boulders and splinters of churned up earth would start barrelling towards the ceiling, and there was enough that it'd be near impossible for any of them to not be in one of the kids range.
"Phew... tough doing this over and over..." She chuckled to herself, looking over to redhorn then back to the fight, cheeks a little more than red at this point and just quietly getting out. "So er... those drinks... I assume you're paying huh?"

| E ven after taking a full force thunderclap Jasmine still seemed to be on the top of her game as not only did she manage to dodge the boulder that had been thrown her way, but also using one of her explosions to destroy Angel's projectile feathers near inches before getting hit by them. The problem for Angel the became the smoke screen that had been created by said explosion. Losing sight of Jasmine Noir during a battle even a class spar was never a good thing and so Angel quickly flapped her wings to try and blow away the smoke, but sadly it was too late as Jasmine had managed to get atop and behind Angel slamming her palm down at the base of her left wing and making a mini explosion sending the young girl downward as a sharp burning pain filled her wing and the rest of her body. "Ahh!"As Angel fell toward the ground as her wing spasmed she saw out of the corner of her eye as the guest teacher once again flipped the mirror which quickly caused the boulders and shards that had hit the ground to once again came flying upward as the gravity for them got reversed. Not wanting to be hit by the shards coming for her Angel quickly despite the pain it would cause flapped both wings to send her body toward the trajectory of one of the flatter boulders where she quickly used her hand to spin from under it onto it's top side where she crouched and tried to flex out the pain in her wing as the shards hit the underside of her boulder perch. As Jasmine spread her arms and legs Angel quickly got an idea that was both high risk, but also high reward!. The young hero quickly took a single step before leaping from her boulder using a flap of her wings to aid in her launch despite the throbbing pain in them in an attempt to get above Jasmine as she seemingly let her guard down. If Angel managed to get above the playing around Jasmine she would curl her body in a cannonball formation that Red Horn would recognize from her fight with the winged wonder as Angel allowed gravity to carry her downward before extending her left leg so that her heel would be brought down hopefully onto the back of Jasmine's head to not only disorient her even more, but to send her flying downward once the secondary teacher once again reversed gravity. "Heavenly Guillotine!"Hopefully even if Angel missed her intended target like she had with Red Horn she would hit a secondary target, and still deal a good amount of damage aided by the gravity switches. If she was lucky she would hit one of Jasmine's arms if she didn't hit her head because she knew that Jasmine's arms were one of the ways she propelled herself through the air, and so taking away one of them would be a great way to get closer to a victory. |

The momentum behind Jasmine's previous rush kept the lass dangling in the air for a few moments, her movement further fueled by the small explosion she unleashed on Angel acting as a 'hop' of sorts which pushed her a little higher. As the lass relaxed in the air and freely allowed gravity to get its claws on her she found her trajectory shifting. Before long she was beginning to head for the ground, reaching the floor at such speeds she begun to wonder if Reverse was about to play a fast one on her and skip this merry-go-round turn.
Luckily for Jasmine, she hadn't. The musician quickly found herself feeling utterly weightless, her momentum beginning to shift mid descent. "Woop!" she mused aloud, smirking to herself while staring at the ground, completely immobile in the air. Finally the shift in gravity came in full effect and the girl was now rising towards the ceiling. Or, rather, falling towards it.
Honestly speaking this little handicap wasn't affecting Jasmine all too much just yet. Given the fact that she was already used to throttling herself all over open air spaces meant that her body had ample time to adapt to fighting against gravity and shifting G forces even before this little exercise. The problem was that gravity itself had changed, so while she could easily maneuver her way around the place the different centers of gravitational pull would likely start reflecting on her body relatively soon. If this was anybody other than her they would've likely started getting a little sea sick by now where as Jasmine...
"Weeeeee!"
Yeah. Jasmine was having a blast.
With her arms and legs fully stretched out it seemed like Caldera was like a kid in a candy store, just enjoying the ride with a gleeful mug on her face. Yet despite Angel's guess of her having let her guard down it was anything but. Inherently Jasmine was a creature who was utterly terrified of the entire world, even if it absolutely never seemed that way. It wasn't a question whether or not her guard was up but rather if it was ever down to begin with. The answer was a resounding no in far too many cases as even sleep was hard to find for her alone in her dorm room -- the smallest of creaks would jolt her awake and into full alert mode. Given this, it was ludicrous to assume she would ever lower her guard in the middle of a fight, no matter who she was facing... let alone when her entire palette of senses were amped to the point it seemed like she had taken a shot of adrenaline directly to the eyeball.
Every move Angel made Jasmine keenly followed. Even if her vision was still quite blurry from the previous exchange with the winged teen she could still make out her sneaky form quite vividly as it tried to maneuver the now rising boulders in an attempt to get a better vantage point. In response to this, Jasmine just kept enjoying herself, all the while wondering what Angel was going to throw at her next.
Ah, using this shift in gravity to her advantage. Not bad, Jasmine thought as she watched Angel descend upon her in her own version of a wrecking ball. Knowing she wouldn't be able to blast Angel out of the air without injuring herself in the process given the trajectory of her fall and Angel's approach, Jasmine just waited until the very last second, her back turned to the pinkette. When she was close, Jasmine acted in an instant.
What she had previously done to Angel's wing certainly had an effect. While the girl was still quite speedy it was clear her movements weren't as refined as they'd normally be. The angle or Angel's approach was far too obvious for Jasmine's keen eye and she was going to bank on it. Through the use of a series of small explosions at her palm Jasmine quickly turned herself around and brought her arms up to defend herself. The attack from her peer was harsh and coupled with the two opposite forces of gravity and physical strength practically squashing her in between Jasmine definitely felt a jolt of pain wash along her frame despite her physical conditioning. Oh, and did we mention the hail of smaller rocks that had hit her in the back too? Ouch.
After she defended, Jasmine fought through the pain and quickly clasped both of her hands on Angel's leg with such a fierce grip that her fingers practically dug into the other's skin. Yet another series of explosions followed, these ones from her legs as Jasmine begun to rotate the both of them in the air. A wild grin spread across the older teenager's face before she flung Angel across the room with all of her strength, aiming to smash her into one of the ascending boulders like a meteor. She wasn't done, though, and the second Angel's leg left her grip Jasmine launched herself after her, a large explosion at her feet making her crash through a series of smaller rocks as she gave chase.
She swiftly raised her leg upon her approach, intent on crashing a violent dragon kick right into her chest, in effect obliterating anything either of them would come across the second they made contact, whether it be Angel or just the slab of stone alone.

Mia let out a light chuckle as the pinkette beside her asked if the drinks were on her, brushing her hair back with one of her mitts before turning her eyes back to the fight. "Yeah yeah don't worry... ya know with the amount of drinks I end up buyin' I'm almost considerin' investin' in a bar or something." It took Mia a hair too long to realize how that might have sounded, a faint rosiness to her cheeks as her brain caught up with her mouth and she quickly tried to correct herself there. "N-not that I buy THAT many drinks I mean-"
"Shush.~" Reversal flashed them a sly smirk, the innocent looking little fox actually getting a burst of confidence from putting Mia on the backfoot like that, even if it was mostly an accident. With a swing of her hip she bumped up against Mia's side before focusing on the fight again. "Don't worry. I don't mind a bit of experience... besides." She added with a casual shrug. "Who can keep up a relationship with this kinda career?" She added, a cheeky pull of her tongue to keep things nice and light between them.
Mia was a little more at ease with that, chuckling a little to herself before turning her eyes back to the fight fully. They were just about due for another flip of gravity, and in thinking on that Mia focused on the two kids, and the teasing comment from her partner in managing this battle. If she remembered right Angel had proposed to some girl, and Jasmine... well, history wasn't that promising, but Mia had some good feelings about that Yumi girl. She didn't see them dissapearing all that easily. From what little gossip got around the teacher's lounge that kid's history had just been... a bunch of depressing sad sacks in Mia's eyes. No offense to the kids but...
Well. Suffice to say- "Ya know I think these two might just pull that off... but I see your point."
While both kids were doing well Mia tried hard not to make a comment on either of them. If she cheered on Jasmine mid fight then Angel would just start to get competitive, and if she cheered on Angel... well. That might seem a bit forced. Both kids were doing well but to show a favor for either side wasn't gonna do either of them any favours at this moment. Even with her mobility reduced Angel was trying to keep the offensive up but she definitely needed to remember that her limited movement meant she was liable to get a smackdown if Jasmine managed to get her into a combo manuver. Jasmine on the meanwhile seemed to be able to keep her wits about her, and while Angel had tried to remove her range as an option, Mia knew from personal experience that Jasmine was trying to get a lot more up close and personal lately.
It was anyone's game, and with a nudge of her partner's shoulder Mia was back to business.
"Let's flip."

| A ngel knew full well that fighting up close for major damage against Jasmine was an extreme gamble, and so when Jasmine turned her body using small explosions from her palms to catch Angel's leg mid attack Angel wasn't surprised! Instead she was rather impressed as she saw the stone shards go into Jasmine's back as the blonde used mini explosions to fling them both in a circular position as Jasmine flung her toward one of the floating boulders. Luckily Angel had faced a similar technique from Red Horn recently, and so she was prepared despite the pain in her leg from the grab. "Like teacher like student I guess huh!?"Knowing she was in for a bit of pain either way Angel quickly opted for the lesser of two evils and quickly curled her body once more into a cannonball form just long enough to get her feet facing the boulder she was being flung toward scraping her heels across the top of it as Jasmine gave explosive chase. Angel with her injured wings and aching limbs knew that she would only have a split second time to react so as Jasmine collided with the boulder Angel quickly jumped from it curling her body slightly as she held up her arms in an X like formation as she spread her wings to catch the explosive hot updraft created by the explosion so that she was carried over Jasmine in an arch like manner though the explosion itself ripped through part of Angel's armor and friction proof body suit exposing the skin on her arms and shins as she was sent hurdling toward the wall behind Jasmine. "Crap! Even with her brain partially scrambled Jasmine is still on the top of her game!"Sadly as this thought crossed Angel's mind she forgot to focus on the fact that she had been sent flying toward the wall and so she was quickly brought back to her senses by the sharp throbbing feeling of her back and the base of her wings slamming against it hard enough to cause a small crater which momentarily knocked the wind from her lungs and sent her into freefall. Luckily for Angel the feeling of Freefall was nothing new to her, and so as soon as she caught her breath she spread her pain filled wings wide to catch herself as gravity once again reversed. Angel was gonna have to get creative this go around! As the stone shards, metal shards and boulders began to fall Angel used what strength she could muster in her legs and wings despite the sharp stabbing pain in them to launch herself from the wall and toward Jasmine. As she did so hoping Jasmine was too busy dodging debris she sharpened all the feathers remaining in her wings and wrapped them around her body. "Red Horn! Body Shield your partner now!"Angel hoping Red Horn would understand the message began to rotate her body clockwise instead of counter clockwise as she normally did to cause an air current to push outward instead of inward to protect her from the smaller bits of falling debris by ripping it apart as she aimed for Jasmine hoping for at least a graze from her blade like feathers or the wind she had stirred up which was now slashing around the room.

look at me, i'm a reflection of what you wanna be
Queen on the throne, none of you pawns can humble me
"Oh. She got away. Nice," Jasmine mused to herself as her leg slammed against the massive boulder, ascending towards the ceiling at near-terminal velocities. Then again even if Angel managed to angle herself out of the third year's throw and avoid her follow-up attack it seemed like the aftershock of her explosions did the trick. Still in the air, Jasmine watched as the winged teen was helplessly tossed across the room, her back impacting the adjacent wall rather painfully.
As gravity shifted once more Jasmine found herself joining Angel in the dance of freefall. Everything around her stilled for the briefest of moments before the claws of gravity whipped around and begun to pull her in the completely opposite direction, bound of the painfully hard looking floor. All the while Jasmine kept her eyes on Angel, her vision noticeably clearer from what it was before yet she reckoned she still couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at range if she tried.
She saw the attack coming and had to raise a curious brow. Did Angel really expect something like that to hit her? Didn't she realize by now that Jasmine's prowess in the air was beyond even her own, despite the wings? The pinkette was injured -- a result of which was the two-toned student countering everything she threw at her -- and what she thought could work was an attack spurred on by far too obvious desperation?
Jasmine couldn't tell if she was stupid or was just trying too hard. Whichever the case was, she wasn't about to-
And then it hit.
Suddenly Jasmine's eyes widened as she felt her chest clench up. For the briefest of seconds Jasmine felt her world spin around her as her lungs burned, fighting for a dose of oxygen. As her body froze up, it created an opening. An opening far too easily exploitable by Angel's desperately shrieked out attack.
Caldera fought through the daze and brought her arms up, shakily crossing them in front of herself in an attempt to shield her frame as best she could. Angel's heavenly drill hit her square in her defenses, the sharpened feathers cutting into her skin and drawing blood. Her teeth were grinding against one another as Jasmine fought to stay upright against the attack. Her defenses held... but holy shit did it hurt like a bitch.
Jasmine groaned out as the force behind Angel's 'ultimate move,' or whatever she tended to call it, sent her crashing back into the floor. She gasped out before inhaling sharply, feeling whatever minimal amount of oxygen she still had leaving her lungs. The girl coughed out blood as yet another onset of dizziness attacked her, making her grasp at her face as she got on her knees.
"Ugh... fucking... G forces..." she swore out through a raspy voice. As good as she was with her mobility and aerial control she couldn't believe she didn't take into account Mia's handicap onto her. Sure zipping around in the air like a ping-pong ball was fun as fuck... but the G-forces? Her world flipping around every five or whatever seconds it was? Of course it was going to bite her in the ass.
"I'm a fucking moron alright," Jasmine coughed out again before wiping the blood off of her lips with the back of her fist. The attack from Angel also didn't do her any favors. She felt the sting against her arms, her hands shaking and shoulders aching. The compression sleeve on her left arm had been all but torn to shreds, prompting Jasmine to peel it off of her limb and tear apart what was left of it.
"But..." she grinned to herself afterwards, finally back on her own two feet. "Not a bad hit, Tweety. A little dumb, I gotta be honest with you... but hey, it hit." A low exhale followed Jasmine's words as she settled herself on the ground. She couldn't tell how the next gravity shift would affect her and as such decided not to fight. Instead, she raised her hands and beckoned Angel to come at her, deciding to instead bank on a counter-attack. With any luck her senses would fully come back to her and she'd be able to unleash her full arsenal if need be...
Then again she really didn't want to destroy this building. Shit looked like it cost a fortune.

| A s her attack actually connected and began to draw blood from Jasmine despite her well timed block, the winged hero found herself being filled with a feeling of shock and surprise as she managed to get an almost direct hit slamming Jasmine into the floor! As Angel's spinning and the air around her began to slow down Angel quickly spread her wing and flapped them downward to send her upward slightly away from Jasmine before flapping them once more to send her backward before resting them back against her back allowing herself to land on the floor sliding to a stop as her arms and legs shook as the wind she kicked up came to a stop and she did her best to catch her breath with a smirk as she raised her fists as Jasmine got to her knees complaining about the G-forces causing Angel to chuckle. "Yea they can be a bitch even for people as used to air combat like us! You took that like a champ though! I actually managed to hit Red Horn with it the same way, it's my most practiced move and also my most dangerous."As Jasmine ripped off her ruined compression sleeve, and called herself a moron causing Angel to just shake her head respectfully as her opponent got to her feet which lead Angel to dig her right foot into the floor as she tried to force her limbs to stop shaking as she caught her breath. Jasmine wasn't a moron. In all honesty Angel couldn't take full credit for the hit which was apparent as she just nodded over quickly toward Reversal. As Jasmine told her that her attack was a bit dumb, but a hit all the same while beconing her forward obviously trying to bait her Angel clenched her fists with her trademark grin on her face. "Normally you would be right Jasmine. Using the Angelic Drill on you most of the time would be a suicide run, but this time I had a little help as much as it pains me to say it. This entire fight I've been keeping an eye on Reversal's mirror and watching for the gravity swaps. Like I said a minute ago the constant swapping of G-forces can be a jerk even for experienced air combatants like us, so I knew eventually it would start effecting you. That's while I opened up with my thunder clap so it was harder for you to concentrate. You resisted it better then Ms.Red Horn, but even so all I had to do was time it right and wait for an opening. Now how about we close this thing out huh?"Angel then without another word took a deep breath before rushing toward Angel, but unlike she normally would it wasn't a straight shot. As she dashed forward while fighting the throbbing sensation in her arms and legs she would weave left and right so that Jasmine had to keep track of her. As she got closer she would fire 5 feathers from each wing aimed for the ground to the left and right of Jasmine to attempt her to keep her from dodging to the left and right. Once Angel closed the distance she would attempt to use her wings for an assisted leap over Jasmine where she would reach for the top of the blonde's hair with a tight grip so that if she managed to get the grapple and get over her foe she could throw her toward the wall where she would then launch 10 more feathers straight toward her aimed for her biceps and legs hoping that the blonde was too focused on recovery to block fully. "Let's finish this!" |

"Mmm?" Mia was a little surprised by the call out to body shield her 'partner', but as she realized what Angel was winding up to she gave a roll of her eyes. "You're good right?" She'd ask rather nonchalantly to Reversal. While the foxy heroine was clearly a little squishier than Mia herself, she nodded along eagerly and chirped out a simple "Yup!~" In response as the two of them watched Angel carefully. When the spinning drill came Mia raised an arm so none of it got her in the eye, while Reversal leapt backwards, the mirror still controlled ahead of her, and the rocks embedded in the floor where she once stood. Mia felt like she should throw in a quip about how you shouldn't underestimate any pro but... eh. Now wasn't the time. She kept her eyes on the battle.
At the very least for Angel's sake she could say the kid adapted pretty well to not being able to use her wings to their full extent, but by now, from the blow she took to the taunting, it felt a little clear Jaz wasn't taking this all TOO seriously which... was good. This was meant to help the two of them loosen up and, more so in Angel's case, stop taking things so seriously. First lessons as a combat teacher, she wanted to give the kids a good, if intense experience. With Jasmine giving her tweety taunt, Mia, a little more focused on the fight than her flirtations now, gave a quick tip of her head. "Flip it."
The gravity shifted again just as Angel would make a grab for Jasmine. Whether she got thrown or not Jasmine would feel herself pulled towards the ceiling just about the same time. The rocks by now had all been shattered and torn up to splinters, a practically unavoidable rain of rocky hail following Jasmine up. Of course, as she was on the ground level Angel wouldn't have to worry about it too much, but if Jasmine let herself fall towards the ceiling, there'd be some hot earthy pain following her...

look at me, i'm a reflection of what you wanna be
Queen on the throne, none of you pawns can humble me
"Aah... ow..." Jasmine winced a little as she straightened her posture, exhaling a soft sigh all the while. Her body felt a little rigid and it showed with how her spine practically creaked while she straightened her frame. With her hands on her hips the girl got on her tippy toes and stretched, a mumbled groan escaping her clenched teeth as she searched for that pleasurable high you got whenever you felt a bone or two pop back into place.
She could practically imagine the face Yumi'd make seeing Jasmine pout with mild annoyance when that was unsuccessful, far too easily able to imagine the redhead's voice cooing out the word 'adorable' in an all to exaggerated fashion.
Wait, no. Fight first. Hot redheads later.
"Uh, I-" Jasmine cut herself off. Honestly she thought it was... kind of obvious her statement was a rhetorical one. As in, like... a monologue. She was the wordy type, that was for sure, especially when it came to fights. Trash talking was part of her M.O., something she'd picked up on whenever she played pickup ball back in the states. Given how much of an analytical fighter she was it was no surprise that carried over into her fights: get into their heads, make them mad, cloud their judgement. Winning the mental fight was half the battle, and once you won that everything else was usually easy peasy.
In no way shape or form had she been trash talking Angel there. Why in the world did she decide to offer Jasmine, of all people, a play-by-play of what just happened? The girl blinked almost dumbly, staring at Angel as she kept talking... and talking. And talking. And talking. Oh hey more talking. At this point Jasmine was honestly pretending to stare at a wristwatch she didn't even have, tapping her foot against the ground and looking impatient as all hell.
See now that was trash talking... just, y'know. Without the talking.
Though while Angel's rant did seem a little annoying, it did give Jasmine the chance to actually get her bearings back. The cuts on her arms still ached up a storm but she could use still use them. Her eyesight had cleared up fully by now and the initial daze of the G-Forces had been pushed at bay and contained. Her body was rearing to go and with time to spare for preparation Jasmine had been more than ready to tackle whatever came next...
...which came in the form of a straightforward attack from Angel. Again. Damn it what did I just tell her.
"Okay first of all I got queasy after you started your Heaven... Bible... Drill... thing. Whatever it's name was. So don't bullshit me saying you were waiting for that when you had no idea it was gonna happen then and there," Jasmine said, unable to resist poking the pinkette with a hot rod of a skewer... all while she quietly collected energy at her feet. Feathers clashed against the ground at both her left and right, leaving the girl unscathed seeing as how she made absolutely no attempt to dodge whatsoever. A fair attempt, though Jasmine had to wonder how Angel was unable to guess that Jasmine's first choice of evasion, especially given the fact that gravity was about to shift again, wouldn't be up.
She didn't think she was the only one keeping an eye on Reversal, right?
When Angel was but a hair's breadth away Jasmine leaped sky-bound through a massive release of energy at her feet, instantaneously throttling her into her maximum speed and away from Angel's reach before the girl had the chance to grab her by the hair -- my fucking hair! Are you kidding me?! The gravity shift that followed neatly thereafter only served to increase Jasmine's speed (as she tried to keep her lunch in, of course), making sure the girl shot by the hail of stones like a supersonic bullet. Her feet impacted her new floor -- AKA the ceiling -- with such force she had to suppress a wince. A huff left the girl's throat as she stood upright again, tilting her head up to peer down below at the ground.
Normally Jasmine was someone who avoided the use of her 'ultimate moves'... or whatever they were supposed to be called. First of all they tended to drain your stamina quite a bit and unlike Angel Jasmine considered them best used when you can guarantee a hit. Secondly... this was a spar. Jasmine was all too familiar of her quirk's capabilities. Maximillian. Ryuusei. Hell even Angel felt the wrath of Jasmine's might, what with that scar she kept bragging about. Jasmine made it a point to not use her strongest attacks on the people she knew. This was just supposed to be a spar. Nothing more. Nothing less.
...but honestly with how Angel was throwing her arsenal of 'ultimate moves' around Jasmine figured using at least one of them wouldn't be too problematic, right?
Would definitely help with this rain of stone that was looking like it was about to squash her too.
Jasmine's legs quickly spread apart as she lowered her arms, a small smirk forming on her face as massive waves of energy started sprouting from her body, eyes shifting into bloody crimson. Before long it seemed like Jasmine was coated by a shroud of golden-orange sparks, all while the heat around her rose to the point she gave off steam.
It hadn't taken her long to collect all of the energy she needed, and boy was it a massive amount. The girl's smirk morphed into a wide and toothy grin as she spun her arms in a circular motion, explosive lasher-like tendrils quickly jutting out of her palms and extending like whips.
"Phoenix Blade."
These constructs made entirely out of crimson-golden fire busted through the incoming storm of stone with ease, a large number of gigantic explosions completely obliterating anything and everything in its wake and clearing Jasmine's landing zone of any imminent danger from the stones Mia had prepped to hinder her. At the edge of her attack her tendrils quickly begun to form into a blade-like construct and with her eyesight now fully back in business... she aimed said rapidly rotating and approaching blade of utter devastation directly at Angel down below.
