Jace slightly moves his spear and runs at Kat. Kat waits until he's to close to change directions before jumping over him. Jace spins his spear aiming for her swords. Her swords create an X with the spear in the middle. Kat spins, trying to twist the spear out him grasp but he turns the spear, and the three weapons come free still in their owner's hands.
Kat lands and says, "At least your not to dumb."
Jace chuckles, "And you're quick on your feet."
Kat switches the position of her swords and Jace gets into a defensive pose. They each wait for the other to make the first move. Minutes pass then suddenly Kat swings one of her swords at high speed.
Jace and Adalia look at her confused while Cade just shakes his head. The ground starts rumbling and cracking, causing a line to appear like Kat had run her sword through the ground. The cracking heads towards Jace getting faster the further it travels.
He jumps out of the way, and the cracking continues right up until it hits the wall. Once it's done, Kat explains, "What you just saw was a mixture of speed and air. Basically, I swing my swords at high speeds, turning the air into a weapon. I don't use it much in real battles, but it works here in here."
Cade silently chuckles aware of lies in the half-truth. Jace just raises an eyebrow, "Interesting. Maybe I misjudged you."
Kat smiles, "Maybe."
He attacks again, and Kat jumps away before swinging a sword again. More cracks show up in the floor, and Jace dodges them. This happens over again with more cracks covering the floor. Then while he gets away from the cracks, Kat gets behind him. She cuts his arm, and on reflex, his hold loosens for a moment. At that moment, Kat pulls his spear from his grasp and tosses it away from her.
Jace stares at her dumbstruck and Cade burst out laughing.
Adalia stares at him, "What is wrong with you."
Cade recovers from his laughter, "Nothing, I was thinking that she used the same trick on me."
"Trick?"
"That thing with the cracks isn't what she says it is at all. Its completely harmless, and it only works on cement, which is why she can only do it in the training rooms."
"Then how does she cause them?"
Cade shrugs, "She never told me. But I do know that what she does is trick her opponent into running around the room and when their distracted, she causes them to loosen their hold by reflex. And in that slight moment, before training kicks in and they tighten it, she pulls the weapon out of their grasp."
Adalia smiles at Kat, "That is just like her."
Kat lands and says, "At least your not to dumb."
Jace chuckles, "And you're quick on your feet."
