Asami vs Akane

Certain that Akane would side step the kunai, Risako's spine tingled with a certain coldness once it struck its mark. The woman lurched forward out of her seat before Miko could grab her by the wrist. Seemingly slowed by a phantom weight, she was having a harder time than she should have moving through the crowd. Once she reached the stairs however, she gave one final look to Akane. 

Seeing that the medical team had tossed the primed kunai off to the and out if it's range, her shoulders slumped forwards as Risako let out a sigh of relief. 

Clutching the microphone that was clipped to her collar, she began to speak. "Congratulations, Asami Miyamoto." Before the next round of fighting began, she continued to exit the viewing area to visit Akane.

[Exit, declaring Asami the winner.]
