Akel didn't think that Ayaka could apply her semblance in the air and was surprised to her almost dead stop, keeping her weapon in its scythe form, Akel gripped the handle and brought it into a spin as soon as the explosion happened.

Akel didn't expect this level of explosion to happen, she knew that it was a large chunk but the chain was unexpected. She kept her impromptu defence up as a caution and was glad that she did as she could see Ayaka racing towards her, she planted one foot back slightly and tilted her spinning scythe slightly upwards she was expecting an aerial attack. She kept her ground and let the blade slide down the handle of her scythe, scratching her hand,

After Ayaka passed Akel, the bat Faunus did a sidestep as she kept spinning her scythe, as she saw her opponent land Akel followed after her. Hearing the explosions Akel still followed, using her hearing to her advantage, Akel hit all sizeable pieces of debris as she got to Ayaka and went for horizontal strike, following with a shoulder bash and going back with another horizontal slash, the last 3 bullets of her gun being used at Ayaka after each attack.

"I can ensure you Lilla, I do not snore, if our teammates do then I can buy uou something to help get some sleep. Maybe try and stay up a bit longer and you can sleep after you introduce yourself to out new teammates." Akel streched her arms out as she thought about how to best describe Juno.

"Juno is really great, he is very understanding and loves to play. He loves his girlfriend very much and is really sweet." Akel smiled as she said, a slight blush accompingly her face. "Our relationship is in a good spot. Which is nice because this is my first experience with a boy or girlfriend. So its nice that he is relaxed and understanding."

Akel couldn't believe that she was forced to change teams again, while she could always see her old members, it was an annoyance to move her stuff again. Especially since she decided to indulge herself after her successful mission in Mistral.

Akel had put her chest underneath the leftmost spare bed and scratched her head as she looked around at the room "pretty standard all things considered... the fuck." was all Akel could think as she saw noticed the gold and purple, confirming her suspicions as her eyes set on the symbol of Reggie Royale. Clenching her fist in anger, taking a deep breath to calm herself down.

She took a seat on her new bed and threw down her custom pillow to sleep with her headset on. Stretching as she sat down on the bed and looked at the two empty desks, taking off her glasses and sitting them on the desk that she claimed as her own 'textbooks, notebooks, scroll, spare headset, charger, tools.' Akel continued to mark off in her head as she pulled a lever and a section of the chest revealed its contents to the bat Faunus to place on the desk.

Her desk now finished she could only wait for the other teammate that was joining or the two original members, whichever came first. Letting her hair fall loose she took a seat on her bed with the headboard being used as a support, picked up one of her spare reading books before the chest closed and locked. Choosing to distract herself from her slowly building hate about this new team arrangement.

Akel was moderately surprised that her opponent didn't manage to block the third shot. However, she was irritated when her opponent started rushing because that would mean she would surely use her semblance, knowing that the rush was going to come to Akel immediately started to think about how she would strike.

Akel didn't expect Ayaka to aim for her head and took the strike, her headset getting knocked off her ears in the process and hit the ground, the sudden increase in noise caused Akel to lose focus but in the few moments that it took for her earpiece to adjust, she had put her weapon to her right to block the attack and moved to the right as Akel turned to the right to keep her focus on Ayaka, the earpieces adjusting to the pre-established settings caused everything to seem quiet as she felt the wind tickle her ears, at the same time she placed her hand against the flat of the blade as she felt the force of Ayaka's blade impact her own.

Angered that her headset had been damaged and possibly having to be replaced, she went on the attack and stepped forward as she angled her blade and trigger the transformation. Swinging the rapidly transforming weapon to strike and catch Ayaka at her iced ribs with the area between the handle and the blade, only for her to step forward again and grip the handle properly as she twisted her own body to view the other side of the arena. This attack was to send Ayaka flying into a large chunk of fire Dust. Not one to waste the opportunity she let her weapon transform back into its sword form and unloaded most of the remaining bullets into the chuck of Dust to force an explosion as Ayaka would get close to the crystals.

Akel took the hi to her abdomen, pulling back from punch to the head as she saw Ayaka draw her blade out of the sheath. Still unarmed Akel switched up and didn't follow through with her punch aimed at her opponent's head. Instead switching up as she knew that Ayaka was armed, a small step towards her opponent's left side put Akel in a more ideal position as she had an easier time utilizing both fists.

The bat faunus activated the ice dust in her gloves and started a light barrage of punches, several punches came first, tagetting Ayaka's stomach and ribs to cause a section of ice to slow eliminate her ability to move. Akel did this to force her opponent to play defense, to focus on preventing further buildup of ice while Akel would use this opportunity to continue with her assualt, Akel would then change her area of focus to deliver a straight left towards Ayaka's hand that held her sword to freeze her wrist and follow-up with a brutal right hook to Ayaka's face to force her opponent back.

Akel heard the sound of the reel activating, the spin was obvious and she could understand what Ayaka was trying to do. Akel didn't want to have a repeat of getting stuck between some wires. So Akel jumped forward, above the wires as she sent three more bullets towards her opponent.

As Akel landed she used her acquried momentum for a strong downward strike. Although this was nothing more then a feint with minimal strength behind the attack and mostly used momentum to strike. It looked serious enough to draw Ayaka's blade upwards. Akel's real aim was to land and go into a forward roll to get into Ayaka's perdonal space and deliver a upward strike to Ayaka's stomach and putting her blade slightly into the ground to keep it standing up and following through with another strike aimed st the same area.

Akel braced herself for the incoming attack, hearing the blade unsheath she was ready for the attack to her front. However, Akel heard the wires being reeled in and put her arm out to stop the wires, one hand still on the handle of the blade and the other vertically facing to have the wires pressed against her gauntlet as she braced to make sure that the wire didn't close around her completely.

Akel got knocked back, not much but the blade was not out of the ground and pressed against the bat's right shoulder. With both arms unable to do anything Akel could only grit her teeth as she heard a familiar sound and pain rip through her back. Akel was still standing by sheer force of will but felt the strain of the wires disappear. The slash to her back causing them to be cut.

Akel was getting ready to strike before she heard another sound, from above and she brought her blade up to try and block the blade slash, partially succeeding but she still felt it strike her shoulder and forcing her left knee to impact the ground. Annoyed, Akel gripped her blade with both hands, the pain on her body slowly subsiding as she got up, eyes that could kill were staring ay Ayaka. 'this is nothing' Akel repeated to herself in thought, to her pain was having her headset taken off, everything else felt dull in comparison.

It took Akel only a moment before she realised that Ayaka would be exhausted or at least winded from that use. Akel never had to worry about it but it was a general rule that she had learnt from seeing others fight was that overusing the semblance was similar to over-exertion on the body. Looking at the board she saw her aura nearing halfway and saw that Ayaka had a bit over 20% lead, Akel needed to level out their levels and if she was right then she had the chance.

Not wasting any more time Akel went full sprint towards Ayaka, focused and ready to deal some damage. First Akel went for an obvious downward strike, pulling back at the last moment, to turn her slash into a thrust that was aimed at Ayaka's abdomen. Akel would bring her blade to the left as she triggered the transformation, using her left hand to stop the blade and to allow a faster strike as she brought it towards Ayaka's thighs to sweep her off of her feet. Following through Akel would bring the weapon up and letting her left-hand grip the handle low and go into a heavy downward strike with the aim of striking Ayaka's chest with the tip of her scythe.
