And Now Something Completely Different (Open)

It was an interesting tactic for sure after all Mi had indeed anticipated a direct charge or an attempt to withdraw. However, what she had not expected was for Chiyuri to use her skates for a creative attempt to maneuver over her attack. Overall it was an impressive feat of ingenuity, but there was just one thing that Chiyuri had possibly not kept into consideration: The fact her maneuver didn't give exactly the best footing for her swing! Certainly, a person with enough acrobatic skill might have been able to do it without some form of negative consequence, but in this case, Mi saw an excellent opportunity to abuse that potential mistake.

What goes up, must come down at some point, was a saying she once heard, and in this case when Chiyuri descended, Mi's eyes narrowed and her lips curved up into a smile, a step backward being taken and sweeping both hands toward the swinging sword of her opponent. Obsidian lightning surged alongside the air next to her hands, causing two bladed weapons, scimitar-like in shape to manifest as she intercepted the overhead swing, although if Chiyuri intended to use the amplified strength of her motion, she would be in for an unpleasant surprise!

Mi spun her body sideways, letting one scimitar push the colliding blade toward the side Chiyuri was descending to, as if to guide her along while at the same time the moment Chiyuri would try to land, something which surely would come with a momentary delay, Mi would take her price for the clash.

She might have lacked strength, but a simple sweep with her leg to make someone with skates trip was a trick she surely could do, especially if the lack of acrobatic experience would lead to an unsteady footing, and with her other scimitar raised high into the air she swept down, not to Chiyuri's back, but her leg, in particular the boots that connected to the rollerblades.

It was a natural strategy to rob a swift opponent of their maneuverability, and taking away Chiyuri's rollerblade would surely be a step in the right direction, hell the girl could be glad she didn't try to slice off a leg instead for that act! Nonetheless, hearing Bucket call out she suddenly took a swift lunge backward in reaction, the scimitars fading away in sparks of lightning while she eyed the centipede.

"Don't think this is gonna last long at this rate. Girl thinks she's playing a game with a kid, I was killing people while you were likely learning your alphabet..." Mi muttered quietly, yet for some reason the blade in Chiyuri's hands had yet to fade away. What she might had lacked in manners she at least retained in the spirit of swordsmanship.

"Either turn around and leave, or the next attack I'll aim with the intent to maim, should serve as a solid warning? I think neither of us want to bug the little one much longer, and as amusing as Bucket can be sometimes, I'm not in the mood for tomfoolery"

----
Mi intercepted the attack easily courtesy of Chiyuri's lack of acrobatic skill with doing an acrobatic move, tries to redirect her swing down to Chiyuri's side (basically guide it along) and once she goes past swing her leg to try to make Chiyuri trip, which would lead to the attempt to destroy her rollerblade.

If anything strikes you as odd, feel free to poke me in DM~ I asked for some second opinion on whether your motion would be considered an acrobatic move~
