While the girl was the only one on the receiving end, taking one out of every five hits, and parrying or blocking the other four, it was clear to everyone just how skilled she needed to be to do this.
Yui seemed to be of the same mind, Kai was a menace, he was like a perpetual force chipping away at the girl's confidence and endurance with every successful hit.
Yet, with her resolve seemingly waning she only fought harder than she did with every new hit, Yui could see in her eyes a determination that none of her other students possessed, something almost foreign to the academy's attendees.
