The axe came to the trainee as if it would cleave him into half, fighting with giant weapon was intimidating and could interrupt his built-in imperturbability. Thus, the blade of Tracey slid and cut along the arm down to his elbow when he pushed Catherine up. The pain resulted in constant numbness but Ace didn't let go of his weapon.
Meanwhile, Catherine was persuading him of using the charge, inducing that the he would be helping the redhead instead of being unfair. Ace was easy to be lured, so he twisted his wrist and drew across to push Rep away. He swung Catherine out when he gained enough distance to let the scythe swirl in motion.
The shine on the fast-turning scythe prevent direct staring, causing it harder to adjust the timing to block it accurately. Catherine was quite upset for the deep wound on Ace's arm, she didn't enjoy her property being harmed by somebody not her. On the other hand, she found it difficult to stop craving FEAR. The frustration accumulated throughout the spar and finally vented at the redhead.
