Time seemed to slow down as Mikino rushed to complete her circle around the diamond, determined to win the match. However, Sora's throw threatened to knock out the sticks before Mikino could reach them.
Unlike the snowball, Mikino wasn't fast enough, but a sudden thought struck her, and she conjured an ice arrow using her Mizuzaki Tama, piercing the snowball.
"Cheater!" Sora bellowed, swiftly molding another snowball and throwing it fiercely at the sticks with the aid of her Tama.
Mikino refused to back down, conjuring ice arrows to intercept the snowball and Sora herself. Witnessing these shameless tactics, Sora yelled in distress, "I'm good at cheating too!"
Channeling Rei into her Ryu no Ototo Tama, Sora unleashed a fierce roar, sending sound waves that shattered the ice arrows.
Mikino's expression darkened as she realized Sora's plan. The attack wouldn't just shatter the arrows, but also the sticks, and potentially deafen her.
