Mizu figured her aim would not strike true but didn't expect Asami to so thoroughly dismantle her attempted attack. She wasn't entirely surprised though given the dearth of her own skill. Still, she would not allow herself to be defeated so easily. Upon noticing Asami's main weapon start to come down Mizu guessed at her intention and, not wanting to be stripped of her only weapon, reached out with her left hand and rapidly spoke aloud "Hadō number 4: Byakurai!"

Instead of a small bolt of energy, Mizu's left hand was engulfed in blue light before a miniature explosion was set off around it by purposely misfiring the spell. Though it probably didn't have enough force to do much harm to Asami or send her reeling, that hadn't been the blonde Shinigami's goal anyway. Instead she meant to push her own weapon away and to her right, out of reach of her opponent's weapons, and shove herself back a few feet where she would land unceremoniously on her bottom, which would at least somewhat cushion her. If everything went well, or as well as they could given what she wanted to do, her hand would be singed and it's fingertips tingling, but she would still have her dear Shousenmaru at her side as she dragged herself to her feet and attempted to regain her composure, a determined look covering Mizu's face once more.

Furukawa Asami | OFFICER OF THE 5TH

Asami's lips curled into a welcome grin as Mizu reached out with her left hand, welcoming the contest of strength, but she faltered as she began to cast her spell. Her arm continued to fall in spite of the attack, for she was too committed to back down, but she gritted her teeth and prepared to endure the shock. And she was shocked, though not really in the way that she had expected, as Mizu's hand exploded with a little force. Not enough to knock Asami's stance but certainly enough to do what the girl had intended and propel her to relative safety.

Now things were getting interesting, Mizu was beginning to cut loose a little so she probably should as well. With a sudden blur, Asami flash-stepped behind the recovering Mizu and reached out to grab her. Having happened in the blink of an eye, her Tanto was back in its sheath allowing her to reach out with one arm whilst the katana served as a deterrent to any counterattacks. Were she able to get ahold of her target then it would swiftly lead into a Taketonbo as Asami moved to toss her back into the dirt with a simple toss. But perhaps Mizu would have another tactic up her sleeve, this was a battle of minds and much as skill after all.

Thinking she may have bit off a bit more than she could chew, Mizu found herself being tossed through the air by her black garment before landing roughly on the dirt ground a few feet away. Luckily for her she managed to maneuver her body just enough so as to not have the wind knocked completely from her chest, though her bottom was accumulating quite a few battle scars at this point. In addition her left elbow struck the ground before the rest of her torso which would likely lead to bruising. The 5th Seat wondered if the gap between the two was this great, how could she justify them having the same rank in the Gotei, albeit within different Divisions? This moment of self-doubt solidified her commitment to their bout and so she decided to step things up a bit.

Having heard no objection to her use of Shinigami magic Mizu opted to utilize the art some more, as it was perhaps the one thing that could give her weaker physicality an advantage in this match of wills. From her position on the ground Mizu pushed both her hands out and silently cast a spell before placing her right hand into the form of a gun with the barrel, her index finger, pointed directly at her temporary foe. As she did Mizu said the second spell's name aloud to cast it: Hadō #1: Sho!" This spell would suddenly create a moderate amount of thrusting force toward Asami which, if all went well, could knock her off her feet and send her flying backward; if this succeeded, or if it failed and she noticed the effect of her first spell, Asami would bounce off the rubbery surface of a person-sized wall created by her own personal Zuishinkabe spell.

Hoping all had gone to plan Mizu, though knowing it may not have, Mizu stood quickly and placed her hands together before once again declaring the name of a Kido spell "Bakudo #4: Hainawa!" This most recent spell would involve the formation of a glowing yellow rope made of pure Reishi which would snake toward Asami through the air intending to wrap itself around her figure and bind her movements. With her Hainawa spell still moving to wrap up Asami Mizu realized her own breathing had turned more toward a beleaguered panting due to casting so many Shinigami spells in rapid succession, and silently hoped her plan would work on her superior foe.

Furukawa Asami | OFFICER OF THE 5TH

There had been some surprise at Mizu's prior use of Kido, given that Asami had naively assumed this was a traditionally martial bout, but she was not one to call a stop to a fight based on rules they had not specified. So, she adapted to the change and accepted that they were playing to their strengths. It was not like this made their contest particularly unfair anyway.

The Sho connected with Asami's shoulder as she was rushing in to press her advantage, the speed of her casting was impressive certainly, and sent the Furukawa tumbling backwards as pain shot down her sword arm. But she did not travel as far as she expected, colliding with a barrier of some kind that bounced her forwards and up into the air. Hearing another spell being cast though, she could not simply continue to let Mizu have her way with her.

As the rope flew out, Asami twisted her body to keep one arm free from the binding for a precious few moments. In a flash, the temporarily free arm snapped downward, grabbing at the binding spell itself to pull her in towards Mizu again before finally submitting to the magic. Her movement might now be restricted but she was still more than able to work with what she had whilst the rest of her strained against the energy that bound her. One leg rose high above her as she went to deliver a crushing axe kick aided now by her height advantage, whilst the other went to steady her form. The strike was certainly dangerous by itself, but Asami had also left herself rather open, her arms and body being affixed as they were.

Thus far Mizu had specifically avoided using dangerous Hadō spells as while it seemed alright to use Kido in this spar, she was not seeking to seriously harm Asami in what is, at it's core, a friendly bout. Perhaps, she thought to herself, it was arrogant to assume she even could harm this woman with more powerful spells; but her own brand of common sense won out and she remained convinced not to escalate things in that way. If she were to continue fighting she would have to rely on the fundamentals of Zankensoki without resorting to anything capable of maiming or worse. She assumed her opponent was operating under the same restrictions, but couldn't be entirely sure until the result of their match was apparent.

Renewed confidence flowed through the blonde Shinigami as her plan had gone off without a hitch. When the crackling rope of energy she'd created reached and enveloped her target Mizu was glad at her own quick thinking, though she quickly refocused as she knew not to become too self-satisfied or confident in battle. Apparently her opponent would not willingly give in just because her limbs and movement were restricted, opting to respond to Mizu's use of Kido with a threatening axe kick. Knowing if she was struck by Asami's attack she would likely be down for the count Mizu thought quickly and chose to use another fundamental Shinigami skill, Hohō, to just barely dodge to her right. At the same time she pulled down on the yellow chain extending from her hands to Asami's body with all her might, hoping to speed the woman's descent up enough to throw off her landing and do to the woman what she had done to her a handful of seconds prior, which is to say crash her into the ground.

Furukawa Asami | OFFICER OF THE 5TH

Asami's leg came crashing down, missing the fleeing Mizu by the slightest of margins and instead found only air. She twisted a little, attempting to adjust for her descent, but instead found herself increasing in velocity as the rope that was wrapped around her was suddenly yanked downwards. Struggle as she might against the binding spell, there was nothing to stop her as she crashed into the floor with a similar grace to that which Mizu had previously shown.

The impact at least gave her the push needed to break free from the Hainawa spell, her arms bursting apart as the golden rope was reduced to shreds of energy. Asami was not without injury from the rough and tumble, sporting a few fresh cuts and scrapes as she bounced back to her feet.

Now that was more like it.

Darting forwards again, Asami was more than happy to trade flash steps with her opponent as she bore down upon them. Feinting left then right, her Katana came sweeping across from low on the right in an attempt to force Mizu’s weapon aside as they traded blows. But that would only serve to pave the way for her follow up as, regardless of this attack’s success, she stepped closer still and went for a punch straight to Mizu’s gut. If this landed, though, she would not hesitate to go for a grapple on her opponent and properly pin her down. As dangerous and she was with her swords, her fists were no less effective when it came down to it.

MORIKAWA MIZU

Seeing her binding spell shatter helped clarify this bout was far from over. Seeing her opponent stand and begin to flash step toward her Mizu redrew her weapon and braced for another close quarters clash. Not falling for the feints she stood her ground and awaited Asami's true attack, which would reveal itself shortly as a swing of her sword from the right. In response Mizu used the flat edge of her Zanpakuto to block it with her left arm braced behind it, which would allow her to push Asami's sword away with both arms. Unfortunately for her at the same time as she attempted this a fist struck her squarely in her abdomen sending pain through her lower torso and air from her mouth with an audible "Ackk!"

Suppressing the state of shock her body wanted to go into from the sudden pain Mizu did all she could to maintain focus on the situation at hand. While Mizu had never been particularly skilled in the Shinigami hand to hand art of Hakuda, like the rest of Zankensoki she had at least mastered the fundamentals. Knowing she must not let herself get put into a hold Mizu sought to avoid Asami's grapple altogether. First she dropped low by bending at the knees, using her left hand to lightly grab the woman's arm she was reaching with. She then followed this up by turning in place, gripping Asami's arm more tightly, then attempting to throw Asami over her shoulder by using her assailant's momentum against her.

Furukawa Asami | OFFICER OF THE 5TH

Her fist connected cleanly with Mizu's chest, the strategy having been well executed, but it was still not enough to put the blonde down. Having her attempt at a grapple evaded, Asami soon found herself being pulled further forward by a burst of exertion from her opponent. She could have resisted it, dug her heels into the dirt and made it a contest of strength that she might well have won, but a different choice came to mind.

Kicking off the ground, Asami flung her entire weight into the toss rather than fight against it. Her sword arm, free now from its struggle against the steel of her opponent, would then go to wrap around Mizu's body and eventually drag her along for the ride. As she was being thrown, she would try to take Mizu over with her and then prevent her from escaping to a distance with further grappling once they were both back on the ground. Had this been a real fight, she might have tried to go for the neck trying to choke the woman out, but that was a little too far for a friendly match.

MORIKAWA MIZU

Of course, as this bout was beginning to make clear, even when Mizu's plans went well Asami would find a way to disrupt them at the very end. This time she was successful in throwing her opponent, but the woman was able to drag her along for the ride. After the two touched back down Mizu found herself again being grappled by the other Shinigami. Though it was just a grapple, Mizu had correctly judged Asami had advantages over her in both strength and speed and if she was successfully pinned there would be little the blond could do to escape at that point.

With her Zanpakuto back in it's sheath at her hip and her hands tied up trying to prevent Asami from putting her in a tighter hold Mizu found herself struggling to come up with an out. This fight was quicksand, the more she struggled the deeper she sank because of her lack of endurance. Releasing the limits on her Zanpakuto was out of the question as the two had only agreed to a spar and even Shinigami magic seemed borderline. This left her with limited options...though a plan did begin to form in her mind as Asami grappled with her. Deciding to move forward with her latest strategy Mizu reluctantly lessened her struggling and allowed her opponent to gain a greater upper hand and potentially wrap up her lithe body.

Furukawa Asami | OFFICER OF THE 5TH

The fight grew desperate as both Asami and Mizu contested for who would hold dominion over the grapple, but there was a difference in their physical abilities. Asami had known this going into this line of attack, it had been one of her chief reasons for doing so, and so she did continue to press her advantage when Mizu started to falter. It wasn't like an immediate sweep, the progress was slow enough for her to believe that it was genuine. And if it wasn't then she would simply have to capitalise upon the edge she had been given.

Her legs were quick to get in on the action too, moving to restrict Mizu's own between her thighs, as she tried to get on top of the slighter woman and weigh her down too. Succeeding in that, she could go for her zanpakuto and probably call this an end to their little bout. She did not want to be overconfident, but there was little room for doubt. This girl was more than capable of making an escape if given the chance, or so Asami had gauged from their match so far.
