[ Now normally, Hana would take offense to anyone going easy on her, but-- slowly, but surely, she's starting to learn to pick and choose her battles. Being on the front lines makes sure of that. And arguing with a stacked soldier wearing a mask and an edgy visor whom she'd just watched beat the ever-loving tar out of a punching bag is decidedly not going to be a battle she'll fight.

Not in the ring, at least. Verbally is a different thing entirely if their banter during missions is anything to go by.

Hana pauses just long enough to momentarily remove her gloves so she can tighten the ponytail on her head, and she pulls a hairclip out of a pocket in her shorts to pin her bangs back. ]

Okay. It's time to get serious.

[ The gloves are back on by the time she steps back into the ring, quiet determination in her eyes, and she takes a deep breath or five, making sure to stay balanced on her feet just as 76 had taught her as she starts closing in, trying to get a read on him, equal parts defensive and looking for an opportunity to strike. He's bigger and stronger than she is, but maybe she's quicker and maybe she can use her size to her advantage somehow. ]

[He might not be outwardly showing it, but 76 is excited by the prospect of Hana getting serious. It's not that he doubts her ability, of course--seeing her in action has answered that question, but there's always something valuable in learning how one fights with their fists. Super soldier or not, he isn't about to underestimate her.

So he settles into a defensive stance, counter-circling, every muscle primed and ready to respond to her opening move.

Which he'll let her have, of course. Ladies first.]

sorry for the delay!

[ For all the fun and games and the attitude she projects when she's out on the battlefield, and especially so when she's streaming-- Hana understands what she's doing. She understands that she's fighting in a war and she's not just a teenager who's really good at playing video games anymore. Now she's a teenager who's really good at playing video games and has the responsibility of protecting her country and upholding this image of being a hero as well.

Which is why when she says it's time to get serious, she usually means it. And why she's watching his every move, watches how he responds to what she does, and when she thinks she's got an opening, she takes the liberty of taking the first strike, arm bolting out for an attempt at a quick jab at him. ]

no problem!

[76 is made of harder stuff than, well. Most everyone. He's not worried about taking some blows, and might in fact want to see just how hard she can hit. He's a good punching bag, all things considered, built to withstand much worse than a throw-down with a teenager.

Still, he doesn't want to give her the shot, not yet. He sidesteps easily, letting her fist whiff past him then taking another step out of the way to circle around her and avoid any follow-up strikes.

It's a statement, more than anything--that she's going to have to think a little more on her feet if she wants to hit him.]

[ His evasion is met with a furrow of Hana's brow and an annoyed huff-- not that she'd expected to connect on the first shot. She knows this won't be an easy fight to win, but damn it she's going to try.

She's quick on her feet when he circles around her as he dodges, carefully shifting herself to make sure he doesn't get an opening on her. Which puts her facing him again; and there's a spark that ignites a look in her eyes that says she's getting fired up. She tries for another jab-- much like the first. She's sure he'll dodge it again. But she wants to know how exactly he goes this time so she can try and anticipate and look for an opening on the next go. ]
