Jess' attacks struck solidly, but the second major blow left his 'body' somewhat deformed as the German boy was too busy moving himself beneath the ground to be able to focus on keeping his fake self authentic. He still wasn't quite sure what it was that gave away his tendrils below the battlefield, so his more practiced style of ambush wasn't going to work nearly as well as he would have liked. So the question was, what did he do now? She had picked up speed quickly when they clashed, which meant she was about as fast as he was, and she moved well considering. Not nearly as well as he could, but it was more than your average person. The real kicker of course was whatever she could do that allowed her to detect things around her. That was a real pain in the backside.
Pulsing through the network of tendrils that had formed beneath the training field, Luka pulled the rest of his slime in after him. Jess would find herself coming to her feet at the end of her dash to see 'Luka' implode and get sucked down into the ground as he reclaimed the remainder of his slime from the surface. Unsure quite where she was up there, the slime had to try and decide a course of action, his body spread out across the interconnected web of slime beneath the soil. Eventually, he decided he needed to at least try and get a feel for what was going, and so dug upwards at two points, at the opposite ends of the field. He wasn't sure where Jess was, so he needed to be far more cautious than he normally would be, and with the two surfacing tendrils being about 20 meters apart from one another, he had to hope that he would be able to get a good position.
Emerging from beneath the earth as quickly as he could, one tendril of slime had the distinct lines that formed where his sight was focused, while the other ended simply in a blunt tip. It wasn't hard to spot Jess, nor her large shadowy friend that had come out to play. Knowing he didn't have much time, he would target the cyclopean shadow with whichever end hadn't attracted the gaze of the creature, a quick hail of hardened slime balls (akin to paintballs) would be spat out of the most hidden tendril, the projectiles travelling at his maximum speed while they struck with enough force to damage iron. He had pulled the strength of the attack, not knowing if fully harming her shadow beast would cause Jess any pain, but he also didn't make it too easy, his kick had given him somewhat of an idea of how sturdy those large muscles were, so he thought he could properly balance the damage output.
"Two on one is pretty cheap too yanno~" he chirped as his tendrils started to descend once more, his 'head' going down a little after the other appendage so that he could witness the effect of the slime bullets.

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.

Luka barely had a moment to think before one of Jess' large hands gripped the tendril of slime his vision had been attached to and yanked it, a maneuver that might have severely discomforted a more normal human. As it was, it ended up resembling a cartoon as her strong grip compressed the tentacle and caused the end to bulge with the added slime caused by the pressure. "Oi oi, careful with the merchandise~" he commented, even as he aimed with the other tendril to shoot at the summoned monster, carving a furrow in its body without too much concern. That was good, it meant he could go a little bit harder on the thing without worrying about hurting Jess. She might have hoped to shorten him by pulling, but it was just a bit of discomfort as he was stretched upwards.
As soon as the slime bullets had been shot off the tentacle disappeared back underground, a ripple of slime gathering just below the Shadowy Quirk before shooting upwards to try and impale him from beneath. The thickened slime tentacle would try and shoot up into Black Hole Sun, changing its course if it had to in order to hit the Cyclops. Should it succeed, the very tip of the tendril would split and splay apart, curving backwards to hook around its target's torso and try and pull it down to the ground using the leverage provided by the sheer volume of slime beneath the ground.
While this was happening, Luka's eye section would ooze down over Jess' hands and bind them amongst his slime before trying to pull himself back down into the dirt, hopefully pulling Jess down with him as he did so. It would be a tug of war in both situations as the Slime boy fought to immobilise his two opponents against the ground. It likely wouldn't work as planned, and that was fine by him. At this point he had decided to try and test out the various tactics that he had come up with on a live 'subject' to see what flaws he could find and how to improve his skills. Luka had to pull more of his slime closer to this side of the field to make sure he had enough leverage and wasn't spread too thin, but it was still like a person trying to uproot an old tree by pulling at the trunk.
"Heeeeave~ Hoooooooooo~" he called out as he tugged on both tendrils, trying to pull the two giants down to the ground, his body preparing to rise up further so that he could bind them. He was positive that there was going to be a massive spanner in the works somewhere here, but he didn't know how, so all he could do was was try to follow through with the plan. Worst case scenario, it didn't work and he learned a weak spot in the tactic, best case scenario it worked and he was able to put that in the 'to use in serious cases' category. Either way, he was going to have fun with it.

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. ((I mean you like 40k, but squeamish warning for what Jess is gonna do)) 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. [ WC: 768 ] |

With the change to the summon, Luka was able to focus all his attention on Jess, thick blue slime wrapping tightly around her hands as he attempted to pull her down to the ground. At least until she somehow managed to tug and pull enough to break the skin, a burst of power from the explosive blood disrupting his grip and causing him to recoil from her. Had this been a real fight then he would have continued to hold his ground, but each burst of energy told him that what he was doing was causing more damage than he wanted to, and as she seemed disinclined to prevent it from getting worse, Luka was forced to relinquish his grip.
Receding from her arms as she continued to damage them, he was able to avoid the worst of her self-mutilation, but the sounds of her bones cracking told him he'd done it too slowly out of surprise, the small boy reeling backwards and letting her go in surprise at the measures she was willing to undergo in order to free herself. Few people would damage themselves so drastically to escape a bind and it had been unexpected for him to witness. Jess' happy exclamations the only thing that kept him from fully freaking out as a result of her tactics. Surely she wouldn't be this upbeat if it was a serious issue, but still... "Are...are you ok?" he asked, the annoyingly cheerful attitude falling away as his concern for the First Year took over. He was not the sort of person that could act like broken arms were normal and keep on sparring with her.
Hell, he'd even said it wasn't going to be all out, what sort of person did that much damage to themselves just to get out of a bind within a friendly little throw down? It seemed to him that Jess didn't quite understand the standards of 'training' in the same way that other teens might, and so had gone plus ultra in a way that had him quite concerned for her. "Do you need to go to the nurse? I don't want to continue if you've been too hurt..." he didn't blame himself, as he might have less than a year ago, she'd obviously chosen to do this, he'd just reacted slower than expected to it. Perhaps he should try and encourage her to be a bit more careful as to how she looked after herself in these kinds of situations.
His body reformed into its human shape, or at least the part above ground. He remained below the earth as well in case they decided to continue, but for the moment he was far too concerned about Jess' overall wellbeing to bother continuing right now. Instead he stood there with his arms folded over his head, looking over the large girl carefully to see how badly she was hurt. He didn't wince at the look of her injured hands, but he didn't like the way they looked, it was definitely a nasty looking injury. Not the sort that he was expecting to occur in what was supposed to be a simple spar.

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.

Luka found himself relieved that Jess hadn't maimed herself seriously just for the sake of a spar, the large girl explaining her regenerative ability and then apologising for not considering his own emotional and mental health at having done that to her. Looking at the slowly healing limbs, he nodded slightly at her request, "I'll forgive you, but please don't do this again" he said "it's not right to hurt yourself so badly in training". If she was to do well in life, he couldn't let her think that it was ok to damage her own body so carelessly, even if she could heal it. Letting her do that wouldn't be very heroic of him.
Sticking his tongue out at the large girl, Luka offered to help Jess to her feet, the tiny boy dwarfed by her frame, and yet still able to haul her up enough that she could find her feet and begin to follow him away from the training ground. Whatever it was that they might have done from here, watching her almost literally tear herself apart had killed any motivation for him to continue the spar. The slime boy was also rather concerned about her mental state, he was starting to wonder if she would be one of the many students who didn't make it through U.A.'s program for whatever reason.
That would be a shame, but even if she didn't, he could still try and make some sort of difference, some kind of impact. He couldn't simply sit to the side and leave things that he felt were wrong, that was part of the reason he had chosen to become a hero after all. The inability to be a bystander when things became difficult or dangerous. He wasn't sure which situation this was, but he knew it was something.
"C'mon, let's go get something to eat and I can tell you all about it," he commented with a sly smirk, leading Jess away from the training grounds and towards the U.A. cafeteria. The food was tolerable at best, but it was better than sitting around thinking of the sound Jess' wrists made as they were snapped. He needed some sort of distraction, and a large helping of supremely unhealthy food just might do the trick. It was a shame there wasn't any German food on offer here, he could have used the extra comfort.
