[ It'd be a lie to say that her blood wasn't starting to rush a little. If this were a for real fight, a life or death battle her adrenaline would be kicking in for an entirely different reason. But it's just a spar, neither of them intent on actually killing one another. She might not know how far Magnai was willing to go but he'd invited her not to hold back, and she expected he'd grant her the same. If things got hairy she'd call for a stop.
In the meantime, game fucking ON.
The rattle of chains was warning enough, distinctive and hard to miss, but Sakura had no intention of shying away. She had to get close to land a hit, no matter what, and disarming him was unlikely- improbable at the very beginning of this match. She took her chances and scored what victory she could.
She was admittedly surprised by how sturdy he was, as if he'd just... absorbed/i> those two hits. She was very sure they landed, after all.
A quick reaction saw one of Sakura's hands raise to try to catch the chain around one arm rather than her entire body as she moved to leap back a bit, making sure to keep her other arm free if she could. ]
Oh, don't you worry, I'm just getting started! SHANNARO!
[ The exclamation is accompanied by her free fist aiming for the ground at their feet, rather than at Magnai. When her fist connected the ground fractured beneath their feet, broke into chunks with enough force to hopefully push a tactical retreat but not small enough to cause any rolled ankles or broken bones. ]
