Merel could not act fast enough to stop Darian's dash attack and after landing on her back on the forest floor she recieved a painful headbutt to her face that left her dazed for a second or more, her mind taking a moment to remember her nose was not actually broken from that impact thanks to her Aura and semblance. She jumped back up and tried to continue her attack but was met with Darian's massive sword that hammered away at her guard. Even with her semblance the force of his attacks got her backing up a few steps. And then she thought she had him! Using her semblance once more for a precision blast projected from her sword mid parry she sent Darian's sword flying to his right, giving her the opening she needed for her electrified strike to his neck. That is was the plan at least, but as she made her swing he suddenly was way too close and again his fist found her face.

Paint blurred her vision and she stumbled back a step, her ears ringing. She realized Darian had stopped with that punch and then recognized the rigning in her ears was actually her Scroll's alarm telling her that her Aura limit had been reached. A mix of emotions washed over her as she realized this. Frustration mostly, feeling like the fight should have lasted longer perhaps like her usual matches against Jericho. Also for the loss, however this was a minor thing as she knew the odds of beating the thirdyear were never in her favour to begin with. there was also satisfaction, she had at least given a proper fight for as long as it lasted. She smiled at the faunus while she tried to catch her breath "That... was a tough fight... You weren't kidding it when you said I would have to hit you everything I got."
