Chloe was no beginner to Judo, but she certainly had room for improvement. While a few years was nothing in the grand scheme of things, she was a fast learner. Nage-no-kata in itself was was new to her, but she felt somewhat secure in its execution. When Kisa took the step forward, her muscle memory remembered more than her actual memory. The German took a step back, compromising Kisa's balance. When Chloe dropped to one knee to throw Kisa behind her, the pain in her chest flared for a moment, causing her to take an unusually sharp breath. She managed to make sure she didn't throw off Kisa's landing, but the taller girl quickly exhaled with a pained grunt.
