In The Sands of The Iramashsa Settlement, An Angel Girl & An All-Star Track Runner Learn Self-Defense Lessons!!!!

Relief flooded Kazumi the moment she found the clone, not because that thing was intact but because it didn’t move. She was confident she could announce herself the winner of this little match since her opponent seemed out for the count, but Cirno dashed those hopes pretty darn soon. Her head would snap over to the blue-haired girl, a grin on her face for the angel laid praise upon her first, but it would turn to a frown upon being informed the clone wasn’t out just yet. Her eyes flickered over to the replica of the angel, hoping that Cirno was simply messing with her, but the clone was indeed back on it’s feet though a little worse for ware. You little…

She noted that the sudden burst of energy had taken far more energy out of her than she originally thought the moment she jolted to awareness. That damn clone wasn’t out for the count like she wanted it to be and quite frankly she was getting fed up with the replica of Cirno. Kazumi had punched it, leaving no visible injury in her wake beside the soreness her hand was feeling for punching a block of ice. She released what had to be a powerful surge of power, something that she expected to take that clone out yet still it moved. Sure, she was no longer being crushed to death and sure Cirno said that the clone needed only a well placed hit here and there before it ceased to function, but the blonde didn’t have an infinite reserve of energy at her disposal. On top of that she was pretty sure she had used up most of the energy Cirno had bestowed upon her and above all else she was annoyed with that damn thing. Her left eye twitched and a scowl spread across her face, blue eyes narrowing on the clone - if looks could kill the replica would be dead. Fear was being drowned out by the anger rising within the blonde’s body.

She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as she kept an eye on that stupid clone, her body tensing for a brief second the moment it started moving again. Despite what she had thought earlier, energy began surging throughout her body, gathering in her arm as she pulled it back. There was a fierce look on her face, one that went against the usual joy or panic that painted her face since the battle started. If she were aware of her actions, she would’ve noted how similar she looked to one of those action heroes about to punch the ground for some reason only known to them. The only difference being that Kazumi wasn’t about to take whatever she was feeling out on the ground, that would be stupid and she wasn’t prone to doing stupid stuff. Oh no, she would be sending it right at that clone that refused to stay down - someone should really tell them heroes that punching the ground after gathering a bunch of energy instead of the enemy was a stupid move, it did look sort of cool though.

“Won’t you stay down already!” Kazumi snapped as she thrust her fist forward, the clone having been within feet of the blonde. The energy stored in her fist would leave the moment it made contact with the source of Kazumi’s range and if that didn’t do the ice sculpture in, she was going to have a fit.

There was a slight snicker had out of Cirno's mouth when she observed the snicker that Kazumi started to let out. The reason for that is because she was happy to see that her trainee was beginning to enjoy herself on the battlefield. It meant that the fears within were easing and that adrenaline was being directed to more beneficial areas such as attack strength, focus and durability. Plus, with the fact that she was actually able to HARM the clone still on the metaphorical table, it was clear enough to The Angel of The Ice that her training was beginning to pay off.

However, The Mischievous Fairy still couldn't help but laugh harder when Miss Track-Rack started scowling at the replica of Cirno beginning to stand back up. It was adorable in a way to see her so flustered because The Iramasha found it like an angry puppy getting mad and gnawing a dog toy or something to that effect. Though, she'd keep these silly thoughts to herself because Cirno had no desire to demotivate or irritate her pupil just yet.

"Don't worry about it, Track-Rack! You've managed to get this far, I'm sure the next hit will be the last! DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!"

In a plum of smoke and confetti, the winds surged around them and after the mist cleared -- Cirno was dressed in cheer leading attire. The Lil' Fairy was sporting a white and blue miniskirt, thigh-high socks with blue trimmed edges, white and blue tennis shoes and a blue and white tank-top that said: "GO TRACK-RACK!" with a chibi-face of Kazumi plastered on the front and back. With two shakes of her wrist, blue and white pom-poms re-appeared on each of Cirno's hands and she started doing little dances to further pump up and motivate Kazumi to show that she believed in her student.

"DO IT, DO IT, DO IT! BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T DO IT... I'LL HIT YOU WITH THESE POM-POMS! I'm really making an effort here, Track-Rack....=w="

And that wasn't an idle threat! Of course she wouldn't really harm Kazumi with those oh-so-powerful pom-pom's of cheer and motivation, but she would playfully hit her with it or something like that if she failed. In any case, Cirno continued doing cartwheels, jumping jacks, odd dances and even rolling around in the air to further keep up her cheer-leading. Even going on as to make more clones of herself to fill up an audience stone that appeared from another plum of smoke. All of them had signs, megaphones and everything cheering on Kazumi as Cirno shouted for her to keep pressing forward with the training.

In the meantime, the ice replica started emitting a strange white glow from its body. It was powering up and charging to deal with the last round of this match. As it was clear that the next bout Kazumi and this creature had would be its last. Therefore, it wasted no time in trying to seal the deal as it dashed across the sandy floor around them to bridge the gap between itself and its foe. At the same time, Cirno was also cheering louder as her and her merry band of replicas started cheering so loud you'd think this was an american football event and she was going to play-offs!

"Even if your energy is low, and your spirits are dampened, just say "Screw it, screw it" and summon more power! You got it, you got it, you got it! You just gotta reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach in!

Despite our poorly worded and off-rhyme cheer, there was some truth into it. If Kazumi could just keep pushing herself further, the limit could be broken and her body may very well summon a power beyond her wildest dreams. As the more a person is thrown into extraordinary circumstances, the more potential from within can be awakened. It is why many men in this world often yearn to throw themselves into combat in pursuit of that glory and power. And it is why Cirno decided to throw this ice replica straight towards her trainee's way after their very basic training session concluded.

Thus, as fate would have it, Kazumi started to see that fact for herself as Cirno felt her power within surging and swelling. Her face became imprinted with determination, while her energy started to blossom and come forth to the surface like a typhoon of offensive down-pouring. Indeed, in this moment, her trainee looked like some sort of superhero and Cirno was very much proud of that fact as the entire battlefield around them shook with pure applause.

With each of them coming to the center most point of the island, the tension was high and the crowd grew silent as each of their fist collided alongside one another's faces. The clone aimed to strike Kazumi in the face with a powered punch to the right jaw, while Kazumi managed to get her empowered hit on the clone's left craw. Then, in that moment, their collective energies produced a shock wave and shook the earth around them for twenty meters on end. In this eruption of strength, the clone was sent flying backwards by about a few dozen feet before coming to an end on some rocks.

As it tried to get back up, it's face started to crumble, crack and disintegrate until it shattered into multiple icy pieces. In that moment, the crowd started roaring louder than ever. In fact, some people near by in the Iramasha Island itself started to peek out from the shadows and wonder what the heck was going on. However, when they saw it was Cirno Iramashsa, it was obvious enough to them from her reputation that she was no doubt up to some form of shenanigans.

Digressing, if Kazumi couldn't stand up after the impact, Cirno would rush to the field and hug her from behind with a tight grip. In this way, she was very happy of her trainee and couldn't be more proud as a mentor.

"Wooooooooooooow! That was super cool, Kazumi-Chan! I'm happy you were able to pull that off! See? I told you you could do it! >w<"

It is at this point that Cirno gave her thumbs up and then decided that perhaps they should call it a day as the crowd around them started to get larger.

"Uhhh, do you wanna conclude things here, Track-Rack? You've progressed well enough. You should totally come back to our island and rest up a bit! >w>"

At that point, the choice of where Kazumi went for the evening was in her hands and Cirno wondered what option she would choose.
