As soon as she landed, she quickly rolled back, entering a sword stance. She was breathing quickly, and looked back at Chron and Ciela, before rushing towards Stan. She then tried to do a upwards slash, before trying to do a piercing attack. Even if she was using all of her energy to do it, she was getting slower due to the fatigue starting to appear.

As soon as Stan said that, Kyle landed and stepped back. "Well then....That's fair." He then sits down and waits for the turn he'll have.

“An armed society is a polite one, no?” He joked, holstering the pistol and turning back to the blue haired girl in time to see her charge. He held his sword and the handle and in the middle of the blade, pushing her thrust aside as he sidestepped, tapping her lightly on the back of the head with his crossguard. “Your thrust is too shallow, don’t try and stab me, try to stab the person standing behind me.” He stressed, pacing back and forth, issuing a challenge “Again, come at me again.”

Ciela was panting, so she took some time to take her breath back. She then reached for her canteen, and drank all of it, some of it spilling on her body, refreshing her. She then readied her rapier, before attacking again, this time trying to go deeper as he said. If that didn't work, she would have to improvise in a god knows how way.
"Take this!"

Ciela smiled, a competitive gleam in her eyes. "Oh, I am gonna get you so hard." She boosted up a few feet, before pulling a technique she hadn't done in a while. She called it "Circle Drop", and it was effectively her getting some height, before starting to spin and falling, with the sharp edges of her wings facing out. It had originally been named "Sawblade Wings" but she didn't like that name: it didn't roll quite as well as "Circle Drop" did. Nonetheless, there was a winged buzzsaw falling toward Chrohn and his board.

Oh, hey! The wings are...chainsaw-y things.... Oh god the wings are chainsaws! Chrohn contemplated this event for a second before he figured out how to respond. It was simple: go for a feint.
With this tactic, he took a guarding stance with the flat of the blade facing the girl, seeming to be with the intent of actually taking the blow. Oh I hope I can pull this off, the man thought absentmindedly. The moment before impact, Chrohn did several things simultaneously. The first was the use of Andromeda Alpha's gravity dust to exert a small amount of force on the girl. Her change in weight would not amount to much physically, but while flying, even the slightest change in weight could change trajectory. Next was the re-angling of the board upwards about fifteen degrees, with an added boost of a stronger thrust of the boosters and the push of the gravity dust repulsors on the bottom of the board. This had Chrohn shoot past the girl, as he dropped his hand down with the sword in an attempt to swipe at her wings as they flew by each other.
"How's that for an airshow, huh? Still think I'm not up to par!" Chrohn called out to Ciela, with the light hint of a taunt in his words.
In earnest, Chrohn was enjoying the match, and it served him well as he kept to the use of his board as best as he could while squaring off against someone who seemed to be far more into the art of flying offensively. It was to be a good learning experience and a method of relieving stress that had accumulated from classes and hunting the grimm, but in the end it still served a purpose and that purpose was to be a hunter, making allies and improving oneself for the kingdoms.

Her wings clashed and ground against his sword, but Ciela found herself hurtling toward the ground suddenly. She grimaced and flipped again, bracing her fall with her legs before taking off again, wings pointed forward. "Never said anything about you not being up to par!" She called right before charging.
The thing most people didn't realize about Cloudburst Queen was that her wings had nothing to do with her propulsion; the violet Force Dust in her pack provided her all the thrust she needed to fly. The wings were a control mechanism, for choosing where she went. That also meant that if she already was aiming at a destination (or in this case, a target), she could do just about anything with them. Like point them forward and turn herself into an 9-foot long flying spear.
The Dust in her pack ignited into second gear and she launched herself at Chrohn even faster than she'd been coming at him previously, wild grin on her face. The wind whipped through her hair, ruining it again as she rocketed toward him.

“Better!” He cried, parrying the blow and taking a step back, “But there’s more targets than the torso you know. Hamstring the enemy and he won’t be able to move, his hands are often exposed after a swing, and a blow to the head will certainly get them to move back.” He shifted his stance, bringing the sword up high into an Ochs Guard. “You wield a rapier, it's a tool for a clever swordsman, so show me how clever you really are. Strike where I can’t defend myself.”

"I supposed she never did say I was not up to par," Chrohn muttered to himself, "I must be projecting again." With this, he turned around to find himself facing the girl charging him. If he had turned around immediately after his feint, and/or maybe if he didn't chat with himself from time to time, it would have been within the realm of possibility for him to dodge this spearhead attack, but alas it was not. It was at this moment that Chrohn fell prey to bad habits.
Chrohn took the attack head on, falling from his main method of flight and hit the ground hard. Note to self, he started, pay more attention and don't leave your back exposed to the enemy. Here, he stopped to think while he was still down and immediately out of danger, Addendum, since she can still fly, hit her harder and in places that aren't the wings as she can apparently fly without them...thanks for the info Vanessa! With this, Chrohn rose, only being down for a few seconds as getting the wind knocked out of him tended to do that. Let's see where my....and my sword is way the hell over there...dammit, and with this, he stopped thinking as another idea invaded, I can use this!
With the idea set in gear, Chrohn started for his sword that had been knocked from his grasp, wondering if Ciela would catch him before he could use his sword or not.

Ciela snapped her wings open to stop herself as fast as she could. The sudden jerk forward just about knocked the wind out of her, her limbs flying forward, but she turned around quickly, trying to regain her breath. She saw Chrohn going for his sword, and a little smirk bloomed on her face. "Oh, no you don't!" Her boosters ignited again, and she charged. She considered, reaching over her shoulder on an instinct, but decided against it as she boosted toward him. She still needed her ability to effectively fight in the sky for now. She'd save the greatsword for a later time.
She barreled toward Chrohn, angling her head to one side to try and keep herself from too significant of a head injury. Some days she considered wearing a helmet, but that was boring. A helmet messed with her perception anyway; she liked being able to feel the wind in her hair. Even if wearing one would make a lot of sense in scenarios like these, where she was effectively trying to rugby-tackle Chrohn.
