An Unexpected encounter at the beach. ( Cerbera and Haruka )

Cerbera could just continue even though Haruka tried to stop her but then she started to blink, staring down at her before she'd start to pull back, a quick flashback of when she saved Haruka from the Ocean, made her halt her attack and instead pull herself back to give Haruka some room to breathe and prepare.

" .... "

Sensing Cerbera's hesitation, Haruka released her opponent's thigh right at the same time that Cerbera chose to back away. The idol girl stepped back as well, still clutching her stomach, panting for breath.

Finally regaining some semblance of control, Haruka straightened and then settled into a boxing stance. "A-arigatou, Cerbera-san," she panted. "But now I'm going to fight you seriously... so get ready..."

"Good luck, you two," Masato managed to cheer. I hope you don't hurt yourselves too badly...

"Haii..."

Doing boxing footwork on sand was much more difficult than on solid ground. But Haruka made it work as she slowly closed with Cerbera. In fact, she seemed to be inviting her bigger opponent to fisticuff with her like in their second match, though she was also watching out for the wicked surprise of Cerbera's kicks.

Cerbera didn't wait another second when Haruka was ready, immidiatly run up towards her again, pulling her arm back before trying to punch her square in the face. She knew it was a risky move but she wanted to test Haruka out.

Haruka just barely managed to parry Cerbera's straight, such was the speed and power of the punch. Gritting her teeth, she deliberately stepped almost into Cerbera and went for a hook with her right into Cerbera's side. If that staggers the bigger girl enough, Haruka would follow up with more blows to Cerbera's body, to be concluded with a quick uppercut to Cerbera's jaw.

No longer part of the AFW, you can close this. Sorry for wasting your time.

OOC: Ah, that's a shame. I wish you well.
