Matrim had been walking through the halls of the school trying to keep out of the way. After seeing that the School Captain was a female that did not look strong, and after seeing David fight, he didn't know what to expect. As far as he was concerned, he had instantly become a weakling out of almost nowhere. So he watched his step and didn't act as cocky as he had back at Point Hope. Sure he may have been a big fish swimming in a little pond back there, but here he was in the shark cage.
Was he scared? No. He was excited. He just wanted to fight those that were within his range of beat-ability. Like a guy who dates within his range of looks to play it safe. Except with fighting, and Matrim didn't go after girls anyway, since he was engaged. He looked down at the ring on his hand, the black venetian glass ring that Reira got for him from Venice.
While looking down and reminiscing he ended up bumping into someone, not looking or thinking twice he said rather rudely, "Watch where your watching asshole."
Wait a second....... I'm not Addie, I'm smarter then that.... why did I just say that?
Matrim took one step after saying this before freezing, his face went to a blank expression, and his eyes slowly looked to see who it had been that he had bumped into, praying to God it wasn't someone tougher then they appeared.
God? It's me... Matrim.... want to uhh... throw me a bone here? Hehe? Hehehe?

Sara stood at her locker, trying to fit her books in it. Since her bag had broken she found she couldn't seem to fit everything in her locked. She sighed, smashing the spine of a particularly large book with her hand, trying to squeeze it in with the rest. She wasn't having much luck. God, she hated this STUPID SCHOOL. She took a deep breath, calming herself, giving the book and good whack with her hand. They need to splurge and get bigger lockers... Cheap buggers...
She was ready to just tear the damn book to shreds and toss it in the garbage. Little things like this infuriated her. She reached up to pull the book out and try forcing it in somewhere else. She grabbed the spine tugging at it, just as someone bumped into her. The book fell from her hands, landing with a Thud on the ground. She paused, the anger swelling inside her.
"Watch where your watching asshole."
No way... not even a sorry... just a... What the fuck was that!? It made no sense!? She looked up from her book on the ground to see who had bumped into her.
The guy who had done it stood there with a blank expression on his face. This pissed her off more. She glared at him. What the hell was his problem.
"Pick it up. NOW."

Did I just say what I think I said.... whoa, I need to lay off the drugs....
"Pick it up. NOW."
Matrim laughed at the girl. In fact he leaned back to get a breath of air looking at her. He looked down at the book and looked back up at her, "Oh, you're serious aren't you?"
He looked around and looked down at her once again....
Is this girl for real? She's tiny! And she's like, freakin adorable. I can't take her seriously! She just looks so tiny and.... well... not like a fighter at all. In fact, I'd probably be afraid of seriously injuring her in a fight.
"Look, don't take this the wrong way," Matrim said, trying his best not to break out in fits of laughter, "But you are not in the least bit intimidating, if you want me to pick up your books I'd be glad to, just say please and drop the tough act ok little girl?"
Oh yeah. He went there.

What the hell was wrong with this guy? Who said something like that? Something that made absolutely no sense. She glared at him, waiting for him to pick up the book. She had meant it. He was going to pick up her book and apologize if she had to make him do it. Who the hell did he think he was? She stared at him, waiting.
Then... he laughed at her. He laughed at her. She crossed her arms across her chest, cocking her hip to the side. She so wasn't not going to take this crap. He glanced at the book.
"Oh, you're serious aren't you?"
Sara wasn't even going to dignify that with an answer. She huffed out a sigh. This guy was tall, she had to tilt her head back to look up into his face. This fact pissed her off. Like she wasn't pissed off enough already... She glanced back down at the book, giving her foot a couple taps waiting for him.
He started talking, digging himself deeper into the shit hole. He looked like he was trying to hold back a fit of laughter.
"...just say please and drop the tough act ok little girl?"
She froze, her body tensing as she tried to hold herself back from jumping him and attacking him. She took a deep breath. He thought this was an act? Her arms fell to her sides, her fists clenching. Her head dropped down, her chin resting on her chest as her body shook.
She bent down, taking a deep breath and picked up her book with her right hand. She slowly stood back up, letting her arm with the book hang loosely at her side. She took another deep breath, and looked up at him.
In one fluid movement, she drew her right arm back, whipping the book at his head. Assuming he would move to block the book, his attention diverted, she would thrust her left leg forward, hooking it behind his legs. Her upper body would twist so she could place her hands on his chest, pushing him back against her leg in an attempt to push him over, tripping him.

As the book was thrown at Matrim's face, his right hand would slap the book out of the way. A grin on his face, having had things tossed at him all the time, he didn't know what good a book would have done. Then again, as he thought about this he felt a leg touch his, and a hand touch his chest. Apparently he had caught on a little too slow. And though his reaction time wasn't good, especially since it was his right eye covered by the eye patch.
Judo take down? Not bad.... not great, but not bad for someone her size.
Matrim would reach up as he fell in an attempt to grab at quite literally anything. Her hair, her face, her shoulder, her shirt, he wasn't looking very well considering she would be in his blind spot for the most part, but he would reach out, grab, and pull hard to try and slam her into the ground as well. Whether or not that worked Matrim would land hard on his back, roll over and attempt to stand up as quickly as possible, his eye focusing on her to see what the outcome of his desperate act was.
She doesn't hit that hard, but she seems a bit quick, and her technique was good, distract and attack.

Sara's leg hooked around his legs, her hands pushing against his chest. He went down. Yes! Perfect!- CRAP He reached up, grabbing at her. She tried to reach for the edge of her locked next to her, her hand just reaching it as his fist grabbed her shirt at the shoulder, pulling her down with him. She tried to stay upright, using the locker as leverage, but she ended up falling, her back against the locked.
"Dammit..." She watched him roll over and jump to his feet. The bugger, what the hell kind of move was that? She could feel the cool metal of the lockers against her back, and it was uncomfortable. At least she hadn't been hurt. Apparently, neither was he though. Well, she was going to change that.
She drew her knees up, and placed her hands on them. She would use them as leverage to push herself to her feet quickly, her upper body would still be bent over as she got her footing, and closed the distance between them at a crouch. The momentum of her pushing off her knees would move her quickly, and she would keep to his right, keeping to the eye with the patch on it.
She would move just far enough past him that her kick would hit his lower back and close enough to him that the whole part of her thigh would connect with him. She would plant her right foot, twisting her body, and bringing her left leg upwards, bringing her knee up and locking it to worsen the impact.
If it went well, the whole part of her upper thigh would connect with his lower back, pushing him forward. At which point, she would move into the next part of her attack. But she would worry about that later. Best to see if this worked first.

As she moved past him he grinned, she was using his eye patch against him which was exactly how he hoped people would fight him. Still, he wanted to measure her strength a bit more, so he didn't do anything to prevent the kick, not that he could anyway since she was targeting his weakness. She fought smart enough for that at the very least. So when her leg connected with his lower back, it hadn't hurt a lot, and she didn't put much strength into it. He only had to slide his foot forward a few inches and lean a little to keep from moving.
She likes to kick, it's a shame she isn't as strong as she is fast. Still, her speed is nothing compared to my own when I rid myself of this patch.... let's see how reactive she is.....
Matrim would drop down quickly, spinning clockwise with his right foot extended to sweep the girl, since she had kicked him like that he imagined she would have some trouble with balance, especially if he managed to sweep her off of her feet in a strictly physical sense. Also, the sweep would allow him to turn and face her with his left eye. If when he turned he saw the sweep had knocked her back he would stand back up, if not he would keep low, poised and ready to launch himself at his opponent or defend as necessary.

Her thigh connected perfectly with him. It was a perfect shot. She had hit him hard. Not as hard as she could have, but hard enough. So she was surprised when he counter by simply sliding his foot forward, making her kick to him pretty much useless. She paused before she went to pull her leg down, wondering what had happened. How strong was this guy...?
Suddenly he dropped, catching her off guard. His right foot swiped out to knock her off her feet before she could move. Her foot still on the ground came out from under her, and she landed on her back. Instinctively she rolled backwards, and away from him. He was quick. But not as quick as her.
She somersaulted backwards, landing crouched on her left knee, her right foot on the ground. Immediately she launched herself at him, acting as quickly as possible to prevent him from countering. She didn't even have time to register his position before she was airborne, heading right towards him.
If he was crouched, then she would tackle him at chest level, having perfect access to his face when she pummeled it. If he was standing, she would tackle him around the waist, wrestling him to the floor, and again, pummeling his face in. Or at least thats how it worked right now.

She was tripped up by his sweep, so he stood up. As he looked he noticed that she had already reacted and was launching into the air. His reaction time wasn't as good though, so she caught him at the waist, and having been taken off guard he fell back, once again falling on his back, this time with her on top of him. He would laugh, and let her get some of her aggression out. Matrim was going to let her attack him some more, because this little spit fire may have had a little bit of energy, but he had tons. Not to mention the eye patch was still on.
Let's see just how angry she is, I'll keep my hands down for awhile.....
"If your trying to seduce me, I'm already spoken for," Matrim said. He was aiming to further anger her, wondering just how furious she could get with him. After saying this and letting her get a few hits off he would throw a hard right cross towards her chin, aiming to punch her in the face hard enough to knock her away from him.

Sara caught him around the waist and he went down easily. She landed on top of him, and quickly pulling herself into a sitting position straddling him. She dug her knees into either side of his ribs and brought both hands above her head, placing her fists together and brought them down on his chest.
When it didn't even phase him she did it again, bringing both hands down on the center of his chest. Again, nothing. What the hell!? She was getting angrier. She was about to do it again, when he spoke.
She stared down at him,hands still poised above her head, furious. How dare he... Who did he think she was?! She brought her arms down again, hoping that three times in the same spot would be enough to get him, but it wasn't. This time, she was going for the face. She gritted her teeth, digging her knees in harder to his ribs. She brought her hands up again, this time leaning forward, aiming for his face, when he suddenly punched her in the chin. Her head flew back, but she held onto him with her legs.
"Fuck! Oh Damn, that hurt!" She rubbed her chin, staring down at him, furious. That hurt. A lot. She brought her right arm back, and brought it down for his face, putting all her strength in it.

"Fuck! Oh Damn, that hurt!" She said, and Matrim smiled. She was strong, but so was he. As a matter of fact, he was cocky, reckless, and tough as a mule. So while her attacks hurt, they weren't doing enough real damage right away. She brought her fist back and launched it. He pushed himself forward from the ground with his hands, throwing his forehead into the punch. He always had fun doing stuff like this, people too often forget that heads can we used as a weapon, and with a stronger and tough as nails opponent like Matrim, that's something to remember. He aimed to hit the punch before her arm was fully extended so that there was more give on her side then his.
He braced for the impact, and once that took place he would reach up with his right hand, and roll towards his left so that she would be on her back, him hovering over her in between her legs. It was strange had bad this actually looked with all things considered. Still, he held his comments to himself since he had already made a joke about it.
She has the will to fight if anything... maybe she's the one I should ask to join me..... after all, a love to fight like this, and the opportunity I could present her.... although I'd like to find out her Qi first.

She drew her fist back and threw it forward at his face. Of all the things she would have expected, him pushing himself up and head butting her oncoming fist was at the bottom of the list. His head hit her fist before it was fully extended. Her arm was forced back slightly, but her body kept moving. Her shoulder spasmed and she drew herself back, shaking her loosened fist to help the pain. Shit... This guy... Tch...
This guy is insane... What the hell is wrong with him?... My attacks have never had so little affect before... It's times like this that I wish I had superpowers... But then again, if I had superpowers... Then it would mean others did to... And that's a laugh right? HA, people having superpowers...
Suddenly, the world flipped upside down. She stared up at him, cradling her fist. What the hell? She blushed, her face hardening into a glare as she realized what this must look like. She moved quickly. She drew her legs up from around his waist and planted them on his chest, planting her hands flat just above her head. She pushed off of him, using him to flip her body over in another somersault. She landed crouched again. In one fluid movement she stood, taking a quick step forward, planting her left foot and bringing her right knee up aiming for his chin.

He laughed when she kicked off of his chest. Her pattern was repeating. She somersaulted back, and using the very force of her kick he had actually stood back up, getting ready. When she was crouched he knew what she was going to do next if her pattern repeated. Just like before she would charge him yet again, at least this was his theory. So he leaned back on his left foot, the right side of his body facing her, he leaned towards his left, away from her, and lifted up his right leg and aimed a kick about where her chest would be.
If this connected he would be testing out just how hard of a hit she could take. Something he wanted to see in every fighter was how tough they were. A kick to the chest like this would be difficult to come back from if she indeed charged him like he had hypothesized, "You're too easy." He'd say as he kicked.
Time to see what you are really made of, girl. Time to see if there is any will to keep going in that body of yours. Or if you will roll over and take it, and not get back up.

She pushed off the ground to quickly, not thinking that he would have used her kicking off his chest to his advantage. She jumped up from the crouch and took off towards him, only noticing him standing after she pushed off, and which point it was to late to stop.
She was lucky that thinking fast was one of her strong points. The knee to the chin was out, he was far to tall. But a kick to the groin wasn't, and since she couldn't stop anyways, this worked out fine. Or it did... Until he turned his body, kicking out at her with his right leg.
She dropped, knowing a kick to the chest would be dangerous, sacrificing her shoulder instead. But in this way, she would be able to counter at least. For the first time, she was thankful that she was short, or she wouldn't have been able to dodge it.
She knew that what happened next would be largely due to luck and not solely her own abilities. Her body dropped at just the right moment, her foot connecting with her left shoulder instead of her chest, which he had been aiming for, or her head, which could have been hit had she waited any longer. Her shoulder exploded in pain, and she gasped, but kept her course. She finished dropping down to her right knee, sweeping her left leg out in a similar fashion to what he had done, aiming to catch the leg he was using to keep his balance, and trip him.
Whether it worked or not, she would finish the sweep with her leg and mumble just loud enough for him to hear her while she pushed herself to her feet, massaging her shoulder: "Think I'll give up that easy? Idiot..."

Matrim was tripped and he was glad that she was learning, she paid attention in fights and adapted. This was something extremely important in a fighter. The ability to adapt to any given situation. Some people saw it as compromise, but thinking like that would allow your opponent to exploit your attack patterns. As he started to fall he brought back the leg that had kicked her and planted it down, he was too far in the fall to reverse the progress, but he was able to push back on that leg to give him enough momentum to somersault back.
"Think I'll give up that easy? Idiot..."
"Heh," Matrim said with a grin, launching from all fours, his arms shot straight out to his sides, and he charged in an attempt to spear his shoulder into her gut. Once he connected with anything his hands would wrap up, grabbing and lifting up on her thighs so that he could cause her to fall back, and he could drive her into the ground with that shoulder still pressed into her gut.
