As their moment of combat continued... it would seem that Eve was now changing up her tactics a bit. She was trapped within the space she was currently occupying not only by her own wall, but also by the magic known as Territory which belonged to the other young woman she was fighting against. A smirk came across Iris' face as explosions were apparently to take place right up against her crystal and such an explosion would cause more cracking as such, Iris decided now would be a good time to simply let this wall fall away, giving herself a bit more room than previously. Such a thing would of course end in a bit of concussive damage as this happened, Iris would hit the ground and begin coughing... Only to be further intimidated by Axel's show of power and the lightning coming off his body, there was something so primal about it, it shook her to her very core. But beyond that fear there was something else there... but she couldn't quite place it. It was as if her body wanted and knew something similar, but her mind wouldn't let her near it.'Yare, yare... maybe I'll just get lucky in the S-class trials and not face this one, something about this energy... feels so familiar. Oh whatever... I might take him up on that offer to go with him on a mission~' she thought exclusively of the young man preparing to do something drastic to avoid the discharge which was likely coming from the man.
Iris had a hand over the ground a different kind of magic forming as if she intended to do something else entirely to avoid the damage she assumed was coming her way, but... when Axel tried what would have been his signature move of great proportions, he instead nearly tossed his cookies and reverted his form completely. This would cause all the tension to flee Iris' body in a single moment of comic relief which would cause the magic she'd been creating to stop completely instead as she stood, giggling and dusting herself off. "Wow, Axel... I worried for a second I was going to have to try something crazy... now I kinda just want to get you something for that upset stomach of yours~" she mentioned rotating her shoulders wondering why she'd allowed herself to take such a direct hit. After a moment a small chipping sound could be heard coming directly from the young girl, but she seemed not to notice it, until of course, all the crystal covering her body shattered. Falling to dust around her. This would cause the girls' eyes to close on a reflex which would seem odd. "That isn't good..."
