Sasa's anger boiled over, her eyes burning red as rage twisted her expression. How dare this witch take her lightly? Her fists clenched, and she could feel the heat rising in her chest.
"You—" The word barely left her lips before she lunged at Ruby, legs driving forward in an attempt to strike her square in the stomach.
Ruby's eyes flickered with quiet amusement, instantly noting the poor positioning of Sasa's kick. Too slow.
With a simple motion, Ruby caught Sasa's leg mid-air, pushing it aside with minimal effort. Sasa's body twisted awkwardly.
Before she could regain balance, Ruby shifted slightly. Her waist twisted with the smallest of movements, and Sasa felt her leg buckle beneath her.
Her back hit the ground with a dull thud, a sharp gasp escaping her lips as the air momentarily left her lungs.
Ruby didn't look down, her attention already drifting elsewhere as if Sasa's attempt wasn't even worth acknowledgment.
