Aiya had to admit, the last thing she was expecting from this boy right now was to go on the offensive. If nothing else, she figured her form would scare her opponent into maintaining purely defensive techniques while it was active, she never expected he'd eat one of her strikes head on with his forearm to get inside her range. The elbow came in fast against her chest, just as her form was beginning to give way, and for the first time this fight he'd feel her flesh. The first impact hurt like hell, and the second one caused by the tracer sent her sliding back on her feet a couple meters as she winced in pain. But even through the pain, she smirked, as she could already feel her body working to repair any damage or pain... So she
had caught him with one of her arrows then. She saw him deflect one this time, and he got away from the shrapnel of her main arrowhead, but she must have scratched him or something. He was poisoned.
That would prove advantageous. She took in a deep breath as her skin returned to normal, her chitin and extra arms faded away, and her extra eyes closed and disappeared into her skull once more as her black hair grew back.
"Hehehe... I got you. I can smell it, my venom coursing through your body. It strengthens me." Not only would she know his location even if she wasn't looking at him directly, but the bruise that was already forming on her chest was fading away just as quickly as it had formed. By the end of the fight, it'd be completely gone, repaired by the chakra siphoned off of Akihiro by her venom. But of course, there was still the matter of finishing the fight, and she aimed to really hurt him now. Her staff began twirling again as she slowly walked towards him, the weapon 'wooshing' through the air as she built up speed... then she launched at him.
First came a powerful strike from the right, aiming for the right side of Akihiro's ribs, and Aiya would use the momentum of the swing to rotate her body before delivering another strike from the right side, aimed at the boy's right knee joint. she'd then transition to a strike from the left, aiming diagonally up towards the boy's stomach and hip area, carrying the same force and momentum from the previous strikes maintained by twirling her staff. Tossing in a feint here and there to keep the boy from encroaching on her guard again, she'd make sure to keep proper distance this time, and utilize the most advantageous part of her weapon of choice; it's range. Another strike would come Akihiro's way, a powerful crushing strike from the upper left side, aimed for the boy's shoulder or neck area. And finally, with a leap and a yell of fury, Aiya would aim one last strike vertically towards Akihiro's face, aiming to 'bonk' her opponent on the head.
There were few openings in this onslaught of strikes to take advantage of, the speed and strength with which they were delivered combined with the range of her weapon would make it difficult to move in close as he had done before. She was sweating and breathing heavily now, that much was for sure; the boy's defense was slowly wearing down her energy. But she had only performed a single Ninjutsu so far this fight; her chakra reserves were fine, and the laborous use of her Bojutsu was little more than an extensive workout. If anything, this kind of exertion was rather fun for the young girl; she hadn't gotten many chances to really fight before, outside of basic sparring with Konoha shinobi. It was different for her, to be pit against an opponent with no prior knowledge of who they were or how they fought... exhilarating, truthfully. She was grinning like a fiend the whole time, excited to see what kinds of tricks or techniques Akihiro had planned for avoiding the full force of her assault.
Bojutsu • Twirl
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
A staple technique of any staff style, Aiya is capable of maintaining incredible momentum with her staff by twisting and twirling it in her hands. By rotating her hands, arms and body in various ways, Aiya can spin her staff around her body in large circles. Doing this works as a functional defense capable of slapping away blows and mundane projectiles of a lesser strength than her own. This also acts as a powerful offense, delivering sweeping strikes backed by the momentum of the spins.
Bojutsu • Outrange
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
A staple of Bojutsu, Aiya is well trained in the effective range of her bo staff, and is capable of maintaining proper distance from her opponent to keep them within the range of her staff but outside of the range of their attacks. This training has taught her to backpedal and deliver feints and strikes to prevent rush attempts as well as to advance when necessary, all the while doing her best to stay within the sweet spot where he can strike without being struck.
Bojutsu • Crushing Assault
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Bojutsu • Twirl
Aiya will twirl her staff with increasing speed as she approaches her opponent, leading into a strong sweeping strike aimed at the opponent's side. This strike will flow into another and then another as Aiya proceeds with a flurry of crushing blows, following her opponent around the battlefield as he strikes at her opponent multiple times. She can produce a number of strikes equal to half her speed during this assault, which takes an entire post. Any opponent who blocks more than one strike of this flurry will suffer a -3 penalty to their Strength for 3 posts, as the force of the strikes jars their body.
Bojutsu . Spacial Awareness
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This technique is a kind of mental preparation for the constant movement and spinning involved in the Aiya's Bojutsu style. This enables Aiya to gather snippets of vision, sounds and tactile sensory information in order to be properly aware of the battlefield around her whether standing still or in rapid circular motion. Aiya is effectively aware of her surroundings within 25m of her person, able to recognize when attacks are coming and the body positions of opponents.
