Don't brag about your own power
Psh I am innocent. I swear
Noticing Arctus looking at the time, Karina spared a glance at her hand. Shit. They were almost out of time. There was a fire that burned now in Karina, not out of anger for the time she wasted fighting Arctus but a fire burning leading her to what she knew she had to do. No more playing nice and having a friendly spar, there was something that she had to do, a battle that she must win. Through a blitz of upper cut attacks she broke through Arctus' already failing defenses. She then turned around kicking him back making him stumble enough that she could move in close, bringing her keyblade up to his neck, her shoulder near up against his. "Sorry but I couldn't let you win. I have failed enough, now there is a promise I have to keep and I couldn't let anything stand in my way. Not even you." She whispered into his ear, holding her ground for another minute or two until she was certain that her victory in hand. Stepping back she looked at Arctus the fire in her eyes still burning. "I can't say I remember the last time I saw through one of my promises. Sorry that I couldn't have talked more or helped more, but I am sure you see it as well as I do now. I don't belong with Lea's little crew, I belong with the goody-two-shoes on the other side. I can't say I know how that happened, but I hope you understand, and forgive me." She told him before turning around looking towards the area around her not sure what to do now. "Hey whoever is running this, where the hell are you? We finished!" She called out, anxious to see how she did in the entire fight, see if she was indeed good enough to be a master, or if this entire fight was just to give her a false sense of confidence. She didn't know if she could keep herself from shattering completely if it turned out to be the latter of the two.
