[ It's not the sound of metal meeting metal, the one she's used to, but it feels heavier. The power behind her swing has more force than ever and yet Setsuna meets it as if it's the same one from when she was a Pawn. It catches her off-guard, perhaps that's why it feels like the world has stopped around them. How much she has fought until this moment, gaining a physical and mental fortitude that can't be learned, flashes through her eyes. How hard she worked with Setsuna so she would be able to wield a blade effectively, to be deadly if she needed to be.

Asuna watches the blade made of mana slide against her own until she catches movement from his leg. She doesn't really think, her body moving on instinct. Her rapier breaks away from the lock of their blades so that he kicks at the flat of her blade instead of her body. However, she still moves back an inch from the force behind it. Her hand rests against the other side and she looks at him beneath the crook of her arm above her. With that same strength gathered in her arms, she shoves his leg away to catch him off balance and then drags the tip of her sword across the ground at his other foot, to knock him off balance and possibly to the ground. ]
