Salis gritted her teeth and grunted as she stepped back quickly when he managed to graze her stomach and the weapons systems shot pain into her body. She hadn't quite kept pace apparently forgetting to keep the speed moving upwards and by the time he'd made the attack she had become a bit distracted. But it was a good sign for Mike, he was learning for sure.
"Good job." she said running a hand across her stomach instinctively, while she still congratulated him honestly, she didn't feel like it'd be good to let him assume he might have really gotten the better of her. ​"Let's test how long you can last when I do this." she said, pulling a second practice saber into her hand. She'd give him a moment to decide if he was going to pull another practice weapon to him, but either way, Salis would dash forwards, both weapons moving quickly to attack simultaneously but from different angles. Using Ataru to keep on her feet, moving, evading, every attack was swift and while weaker in power compared to Juyo, their speed and variety, along with angles, would make them far more difficult to defend against.
