First Move - 3, HitIt wasn't as though Vasuman ever really desired to be anything more than what he was. Being a soldier was just fine with him, really, but he did what was expected of him. His sister was up at the top of the food chain, while he was at the lower end of it. Surely, he was expected to aim for greatness, as Agni had? Honestly, he didn't know. He just did what he was told, whether it was a direct order or something he assumed he had to do, like the Tournament he was now in.
Shaking his head, Vasuman re-focused on his opponent across from him. She was a dark-coated lioness and he vaguely remembered someone telling him that she was already a Brigadier. He wouldn't let that intimidate him, however. Not yet, anyway. Right now, he was in a battle, he kept reminding himself as she paced this way and that, before the Soldier finally faced the lioness, leaped at her and landed a hit.

First Move: Hit! Total: 3 Shisa was the only Brigadier who had entered the tournament that would decide the leadership of the army, the only one who had shown any interest in stepping up to take that position for themselves. That alone was a fascinating turn. More fascinating was the fact that her brother had not bothered to enter, seemingly content to remain a Captain and Battlemaster.. and seeing just who was seeking to climb the ranks. She was surprised to find her first opponent was a familiar face. The brother of former Brigadier and current Regent, Agni-pariksha. This was set to make things interesting, then. She was standing opposite him, waiting to see if he would strike first-- and then he suddenly came right at her. Shisa staggered backward and was seeing stars when she struck back: she was adept at working through moments like this. Though she sacrificed accuracy and foresight by continuing to move through this, she could keep him from gaining an easy upper hand from the start. Unless he was able to strike back as quickly, too. That was the danger of this kind of plan.

Second Move - 1, Miss
Vasuman should've been prepared, of course he was going to get what he delivered when facing off against a Brigadier. The low rumble in his throat was the only sign he gave of being bothered by the return hit. Well, that paired with the fact that when he went to attack her again, he outright missed. Now that did bother him. He could only hope that he could pull this fight back to his favor.

Second Move: Miss! Total: 4 Shisa landed her hit and immediately worked to put some distance between them as her sight returned and she could take in the situation again. Luckily, she evaded an attack as she went and he left himself wide open. Or so it seemed. Wasting precious seconds repositioning herself, before moving forward again. This time when she struck, she fell short and left herself wide open for an attack.

Third Move - 1, MissVasuman saw the opening she left, he was so sure he would be able to hit her! So ready to be able to claim the upper rank and move ahead in the Tournament! His sister would have to take note of him now and by winning this match and others to come, he would do it!
But life isn't full of happy endings. Life is full of reality and the reality of the situation was that he was a solider facing off against someone who was further ahead of him, closer to his sister's rank than he would ever be, it seemed. For even when she left herself open to attack, he missed a second time.
Now he was growling, if only because he couldn't believe that he had missed a second time. No more, he thought. He still had a fighting chance to change the outcome of the fight.Ecavi Thanks for the clarification, 'Cavi!

Fourth Move: Miss! Total: 5 It was a combination of luck and agility that got her out of his way when her opponent came flying at her once again. Shisa even chuckled at the effort, giving herself more credit for the dodge than giving Vasuman fault for the miss. Since she had become Brigadier, she had seen less action.. even if this was as good as the duel got for her, she was satisfied knowing she still had it. But she still had time, and she needed to be ready to strike again. Unfortunately, her arrogance distracted her from her target and she was way off when she moved to continue fighting- even stumbling as she went. Her face twitched but her smile remained.

Fourth Move - 3, HitShe was smiling at his constant failings. She was mocking him. He would wipe that smile off her face if it was the only thing he managed to achieve during the entire fight. Willing his temper into strength, Vasuman pushed himself forward and somehow managed to get close enough to her to slam his paw against her head. Unfortunately, he was gloating over his hit so much, he didn't think about making a hasty getaway and fumbled over his back paws. Whoops. Well, at least he had hit her, right?

Actual Fourth Move (oops): Glancing Blow! Total: 7 A good whack in the face did indeed get the smile off of her face and she slid back a bit as she fought against herself to hold her ground right where she stood, even if it was keeping her in close range-- and she reached out, just barely hitting him as he stumbled out of reach. With that meager success, she stepped back a few paces and steadied herself, preparing for his next move.

Fifth Move - 1, MissThat's what he got for being cocky, he supposed. His hits just weren't landing and now he was going to pay for being out of practice. If this fight would serve one purpose, despite his not winning it (as chances were slight at this point, he realized) it would force him to actually practice so the next time, he would win.
Anyone who came up to him after this fight better beware. He would fight anyone who looked at him funny.Ecavi Ahhh, so close, yet so far! Poor Vasu, he's gonna be such a grump IC after this fight. xD

Final Move: Miss! Total: 8 - Shisa loses! Vasuman's next move missed but it was so close that it was enough to throw Shisa off balance. She was moving too fast as she lifted a paw to strike back and very suddenly felt the sand slipping out from beneath her feet-- an embarrassing mistake for any fighter who trained in the sand constantly, and as she hit the ground she knew this had cost her the fight. With a thud she stayed motionless for a couple seconds before shaking her head and sighing. "I concede," she said, "You're harder to hit than I expected."

Vasuman was ready for the finishing blow that would cause his defeat, but one never came. He blinked, waiting as he sat albeit awkwardly, only to witness his opponent slip on the sand and fall to the ground. When she didn't get up, he stood and was approaching her to see what had happened, when the dark-coated lioness got to her paws and admitted defeat.
Vasuman became slack-jawed. He had won? After that display? Well, he wasn't about to argue the fact. If she said he won, he would take it.
"Uh, yeah. Thanks." He said, awkwardly. "G-Good, uh, good fight." And then he started to back up, still trying to process what exactly what had happened, pride starting to show on his face. Now, he would be a Corporal.

Shisa chuckled at his response, getting to her paws and shaking the sand out of her fur.. and taking a moment to rub her now tender nose after the one good hit he had managed to land.
"Have more confidence," she said, lowering her paw from her face, "I'm not easy to hit, either."
She wasn't going to get to be General but she could still say she had tried. She suddenly didn't think it was so far-fetched that Vasuman could escape his sister's shadow and climb the ranks. It might have looked like a poor show (on both parts!) but he beat a Brigadier.
"Good luck in your next match," she said, giving a nod and turning to leave.
Fin!
