The sudden movement isn't anything Ochako didn't expect - Deku is smart, it's part of why he's so dangerous in a battle. He's like a supercomputer, always calculating and learning from things and people around him - hence why Ochako had to strike hard, strike first...no mercy. Maybe a little bit of Johnny's teachings did make it into her skull after all, huh? Even so, she's not quite fast enough, though the tiny curl of her lips from the point earned is sufficient enough. A hit, that's good. It's not about the points for Uraraka, it's about just hitting him - her opponent. In her last bout, she couldn't even do that...so this is exhilarating.

Not so exhilarating when she's grabbed and has to think fast. Getting hit by Izuku's legs is like walking into traffic, and Ochako is pretty heckin' durable herself, but no where near as sturdy as her male classmates. She has to rely on her flexibility and agility to outpace him. And with a 19 dex save she twists her body to avoid the kick, but Ochako can feel the rush of wind from it on her costume and she's sweating. That was close...too damn close. Really puts into perspective just how powerful Izuku is, and they're holding back right now. No quirks, just raw power.

Catching herself in a handstand, Ochako wheezes and tries to break Izuku's grasp on her leg with a move Mina taught her during their dance lessons. She twists and kicks out her free leg in a split, allowing herself to roll onto a small space on her back on the ground and pivot. Freestyle, bay-bee!! E-Even if Ochako lands in a bit of a twisted heap, it's better than being kicked across the ring by her best friend and classmate. Because, if she's played her cards right, and shepherded Izuku like she intended to with her previous onslaught of attacks...he should be right where she wants him. Speed, weight, trajectory...it ought to be enough if she can pull it off.

"I'm not....finished yet!!"
