The moment Instructor Natalie's voice dropped, Thyla dashed at Yamada, throwing a seemingly feeble fist at his torso.
"Haaap!"
Yamada's lungs expanded as he sucked in air, then swung his weapon to meet her fist.
The heavy ball-peen hammer met her small fist midair, and it was driven back.
BANG!
A noise loud enough to make the ears ring erupted from their clash.
Yamada was forced several steps back, but he was able to hold on.
His eyes widened, staring at Thyla in excitement.
"Arrghh! That is it! The challenge I've been expecting."
Blood poured from his lips, but he immediately wiped it away.
"Girl, you really make my blood boil."
Lifting the heavy weapon off the ground, he grinned defiantly.
"Let's see how far you can push me!"
Suddenly, the whole hammer was engulfed in flames, and he shot straight at Thyla.
The girl's sleepy eyes widened in alert, and she crossed her arms before her chest.
A moment later, the flat of the hammer slammed into her.
