As Benihime flipped she had a series of thoughts about this young man, knowing that her foot hadn't made contact with his face. 'Yare yare, I might have to put forth some proper effort, he's still coming. It's coming from the right?' she thought as she came to a stop the back end of his staff was aimed at her side and she met it with her right hand only to have to block the coming fore shot with the the blade in her left. The impact left her a bit stunned and pushed her backwards, but she seemed to be fine beyond this point.
"Sugoi Dai-kun, you're much better using that staff than you are with a sword~" the young woman said with a smile on her face. As for the likely hood of her going at him with everything she had, a tiny bit of light seemed to disappear from her eyes, it would be almost unnoticeable but there was a reason she didn't try very hard the entire time. Instead of speaking on this, she rotated her shoulders and exhaled, a single breath. And then she moved, it was easily twice as fast than her previous movement and would carry her immediately to Daiki's left, she'd then immediately lash out with her right hand fingers curled in like a claw aimed into Daiki's side, aiming to knock the wind out of him. Immediately following with a spinning slash aimed across the young man's upper back, timed with a swift sweeping kick aimed to his lower back with her right leg aiming to knock him forward and away from her after the initial barrage. These movements were a bit more animalistic and a tad more chaotic than she'd initially shown herself to be, it was like she'd stopped thinking, or perhaps, reached a new type of thought based solely on battle, which combined use of sword and use of physical strikes. It was what she'd not been doing the entire time she'd been in the Academy, because such a skill was only really useful, when you needed someone to die.
