  1. And then, before my eyes, Ruby vanished. Like a streak of crimson, she blurred forwards, a trail of red behind her as she seemingly teleported next to Pyrrha. I couldn't make out the Champion's expression from where I was, but it had to be shock. Silver streaked, a wide arc that seemed to touch the Grimm's left arm.

  3. The Ursa's arm exploded. In a great gout of gore, the elbow severed, flipping outwards as the monster stumbled to its side. My eyes went wide, watching as everyone capitalised on the opening, from Pyrrha dashing forward to Yang slamming her fists into its other forearm. It stumbled but forced itself up, sweeping both its remaining arm and its stump towards them. Everyone darted back. But I couldn't see Ruby.

  5. Neither could the Ursa. But as Pyrrha pointed, I suddenly realised where the girl was. Crouched on the outer wall, as though gravity held no sway over to her, slowly pressing her feet against it before she launched herself at the Grimm's unprotected back. A flash of silver and red.

  9. Ruby slammed into the ground, kneeling with the scythe held behind her. Her cloak fluttered behind her, the tips frayed and tattered. I tried to push myself up, to sit or stand as I watched the great monster regard my friend with an almost curious gaze.

  11. Its head tilted to the side.

  15. The Elder Grimm's body followed soon after, a great crash that shook the ground and disturbed the bones I lay within, sending them scattering out across the arena. Through it all she stood, silver eyes shining beneath a hood the colour of blood.

  21. It's RPG mechanics. If someone has enough STR behind a blow then it will be enough. As a Barbarian, Nora has the highest STR stat of all of them. There's always going to be that RPG mechanical aspect in the background, hinted at when Ruby was able to utterly annihilate one Grimm in a single blow. That was unrealistic, but that's on purpose - she didn't cut it, she did something else common in RPG's.
