This strange girl who appeared to Takumi this day somehow also knew about the arm he'd lost. This familiarity was becoming stranger and stranger with each statement shared, but there were more important matters to address now. For instance, the next thing from the half-angel's mouth involved her knowledge of his punching skill - something else that was strange for her to know. Of course, they were in the same class as she said earlier, so she'd likely only seen this recently... but he couldn't be completely sure of anything with this one.

Making an assumption that she would be coming toward him at any moment, Takumi intended to ready himself. What he couldn't be ready for though, was the sudden disappearance of this girl. His eyes widened before his periphery showed him the edge of he silhouette to his left. This movement was too fast for him to follow; what could he do? As a Sacred Gear holder, she had to also be reasonably powerful at minimum, so he could not at all hope to use his base strength. He had to attack with Boosted Gear. "Boost!" the gauntlet called out just as he needed it, increasing his power as he pivoted to his left and drew back his left fist. He knew he had already lost time on this movement, but there was no real choice in the matter. However, being conscious of this let him know he had to make up for the extra movement somehow, and he aimed to do so by instead opening his left hand and shot from it a red beam of concentrated magical energy aimed at Cassiel's torso.
