So in the end, it seemed that practical moves were more effective than flashy ones. That conclusion was obvious given the circumstances of combat within parameters where the objective was to defeat the opponent through nonlethal means.

Platinum paused to make sure that the rebel wasn't making some ploy, but figured that her concession was genuine. Thus the silver-haired girl hopped back up and extended a hand to her opponent, helping her up.

"You're really good, Raizel," she commented. "I know this was just a warm-up bout, so I imagine you'd be much more lethal in a real fight. Either way, it's clear you know what you're doing." Platinum thought of all the semblance applications, Dust, live ammunition/firepower, uncontained environment, and sheer unbridled fighting spirit that would come in a real life-or-death fight, and concluded quite certainly that yes, both Raizel was holding back, as was she. Not that it was a bad thing; that meant they were capable of restraining themselves and adapting to each situation. Platinum noted that she probably had fought a bit harder, being all 'I have to show I'm a good team leader'.

"Team RASB had a last minute scheduling conflict, but they'll be here in about ten minutes or so," Fen replied, before getting up. "We figured it might be a good idea to spar a little with each other while we're waiting, just to get into the zone, you know? And since Raizel and Platinum just finished," she said, gesturing towards the two teammates on the stage, "things are set so that you and I will be dueling partners. You up for that?"

Fen mounted the stage and extended her halberd. She was not gonna let Cyzarine catch her off guard in the same way raizel had to Platinum.
