Chapter 40 Who Are You?

• As she was about to let go of Johan, during the throw, she had planted both hands on the ground. When she completed the attack, she sprang off her hands, throwing herself into a quick back spring, followed by another, another, and another to build momentum. When she was almost to Johan, she bounded off the ground and threw herself into a spin that would have made an expert gymnast jealous. Flattening out in the air like a sideways whirling tornado, so that her body was perpendicular with Johan's as she neared the fallen swordsman, her spin got increasingly fast as she whipped her arms in and out, efficiently putting herself into an almost uncontrollable rotation, arced at Johan.
• Just as she was about to reach him, Johan threw one of his legs out, shin angled down. The entire force from the spin was pushed into his leg.
• He barely had time to breathe, let alone dodge. But, it was a testament to his experience in battle that he kept the presence of mind to roll to the right in a desperate dodge. Just in time. Her leg slammed into the ground, her knee and shin flat into the earth, crushing the hard soil and creating a large gash on the ground.
