Of course, Hikage knew herself to be right about things which dealt directly with instinct and response. Beyond this, the age of this girl was directly questioned. She didn't know why this information was important to her understanding, but she supposed she had no problem giving it. "Juugo desu," she said with the same passive tone she always seemed to have. It would be rather surprising to most, to find out exactly how young this woman was, as her age dictated that she'd received her grimoire and become a Magic Knight as a commoner in an extraordinarily short amount of time. Without being a noble and being directly ushered in to the Magic Knights, she'd done it on her own merit, as well as traveling from whatever her home town in the Forsaken Lands was to get to Kikka in the Common Region all on her own.
Irrespective of this there was something more to the attack proffered by Leonis, there always seemed to be, and his other hand soon aimed to send the lass flying through the roof in a swirl of fire, with the apparent warning that it made two, and given their current closeness she couldn't avoid this attack. The secondary flame spiral would send the girl flying, but there was a grin was on the girl's face as she maintained enough of herself as she flew off to try and make the best of the space now forming between them. Her unknown reinforcement spell seemed to increase quite a bit while taking this hit too, mediating the damage. And while she didn't have something new to offer, she did have a new use of a previously seen magic. Using Leonis' ability to attack and defend and even counter-attack, the girl's actions as she fell back towards the ground had purpose. She'd simultaneously cast, two of the spells from her grimoire, as she hit the ground once more, causing the emergence of several of the Steel Hedgehogs from the ground as they began to roll up, and a hailstorm of swords to fall from the sky aiming to maim Leonis and a wide area around himself. While he dodged the strikes from above, the spinning hedgehogs from below aimed to maim him from various angles, the barrage was relentless, much like Hikage herself, but the only thing she could manage in the current situation.
