Clarissa ran into the coliseum. She was going to have to try her best in this fight. She felt a little off, but she ignored it. SHe'd just do her best.

"Fighters, are you ready to test your strength!?" An announcer's voice echoed through the large speakers that lined the walls of the coliseum. Rows upon rows of screaming fans cheered from the stands in excitement for what was to come. A spotlight then flashed on the center of the coliseum, in the ring where the announcer stood. It was none other than the secretary, Mina, who gazed down at the first string of contestants. "Cause I'm dying to see just how strong you are." She said into the microphone and the crowd roared again. Then several spotlights turned on to light up the stage and the fighters. "The fight ends when one of you is either knocked out, killed, or made to forfeit. Now take your positions! Face your opponent! And fight!"

Clarissa faced off against her opponent, a boy who was quickly giving her more of the feeling he was a dog than a boy. She placed her hands on her hips and snorted.

"Of course I am," she said. She eased into a basic ready position.

Knight's Shield
Rank: D
Description: This is a defensive stance the fighter can use to both strengthen their footing and ease damage from incoming blows. This is done by raising one leg off the ground and bringing the elbow and forearm of the same side down to the raised knee to create something that looks similar to a shield in front of the user. By using the strongest bones in the body that they've been training, this defense can completely block D-rank and below attacks while also lowering the damage dealt from higher attacks by one rank. The user can't move while in the stance, and it only prevents damage from the user's front side, leaving the back and sides vulnerable.

Elephant Kick
Rank: D
Description: This kick is, simply enough, a strong roundhouse-like kick used from the back leg to fully extend and strike the head or torso of an opponent. There are two things that set this off from most kicks of its kind though, and the first is the part of the leg the kick uses to strike an opponent. Rather than using their foot, this kick strikes with the lower part of the user's shin. The hard bone creates more force and generates a more damaging impact. Also, unlike other kicks this one fully unloads the user's power. This is good for if it lands, as it will go through most defenses and even possibly break an arm that tries to stop it, but if it flat out misses then the force will follow the kick and spin the user completely around, making them turn their back to their opponent. Even if it is blocked this kick will send most people flying through a tree fifteen feet away, but missing often gives the opponent a split-second to strike at your back.

Since he was so close Clarissa didn't hesitate. She raised her knee and placed her elbow and forearm of the same side on top to shield herself from his blows. She didn't want to take too much damage this early on. Then, once he finished attacking her she struck out with a kick of her own. However instead of using her foot to kick him, she used her shin. Her kick targeted his legs.

(( So we would have a more interesting fight Fen reminded me that we can auto learn the first stage of are first sub style. So I edited it in before the fight started. I'm sorry for any confusion and for being stupid. >.< )) (( Edited. ))

((Okay. I'll edit. I've never come across some one that tall before. ))
