Shakugan no Shana Vol 5 pg 138

and then suddenly, Tenmoku Ikко leaped.
‘I can see.’
Her burning eyes captured the entire flow of ‘death’ created by its movements. Before she
knew it, her body was moving with her senses, running alongside the armored warrior to
strike at the gap in its ‘death’. Her body was light. The intense pain that had tormented her
entire body before the contract was completely gone. In fact,
‘Power is welling up inside me.’
The expression ‘explosive’ was a perfect fit for the gushing torrent of immense power, a
pressure that moved her body, so full she could even feel its burning heat.
And the girl could control it at will. She was not overwhelmed by the power. She was not
confused by her human senses, nor did she misjudge her control. This was the fruit of the
training she had continued, always, since the day she was born.
‘A Flame Haze… This is a Flame Haze!!’
The girl noticed. Tenmoku Ikko changed the rhythm of its sprint by one step.
‘Preliminary motion for a step-in.’
She saw through it and sensed where in the motion the flow of ‘death’ would be born. Her
clear vision, more than that, the feeling on her skin, more than that, in response to every
movement she made and every movement of her opponent, she felt the flow of ‘death’.
A slash from an overhead stance, following the exact trajectory she had predicted, grazed
the tip of her nose.
But the girl had already stepped deep into a region that could not possibly be altered by the
momentum of that slash, deep into his right side. She converted the step she had taken to
get there into a tiptoe stance, and the rotation from that momentum into a low kick, sweeping
his leg.
