Shiloh was questioning her relationship with Finn, but realized this is no longer the same calibre of school. Being a big fish in their previous school wasn’t going to make them the best here. It’s not like he didn’t have a job or anything to make it as hard for him as it was for her to be one of the best students, and yet he wasn’t as good as she was. That means with big fish students here he’ll come nowhere close to her and he isn’t going to be her rival anymore. She was starting to feel beating him was getting easy, but she wondered if she would still be so good if it weren’t for the rivalry with him to keep her motivated. The desire to beat him at every turn she can just becuase she knows she can was what keeping her motivated during school and now that he won’t even be in the top 10 best students how could she keep a rivalry with him? She turned to Victoria and said “Well, we changed schools it was foolish to think we won’t be changed by such a drastic change of enviorment. I’m glad you consider me a friend already. I consider you a friend also, I just never thought you would consider me a friend back. I don’t need anybody to talk to, I need another pompous student who think he’s better than everybody and studies in order to be the best so I can have a rivarly with them. My mom wants me to be an A+ student but what’s the fun in that withouth having some sort of stakes and motivation to do it. It’s not like I want to have the best grades for some goal I want, so my only motivation is having a game with another student, and now that student is close to best but not enough to have that type of rivalry.”

When she said “But wouldn’t I want to get the knife away from them? Or only play keep away from me?” And he responded. "Yes. That’s what I just mentioned, that before the kiss you should avoid or block the knife, I just wanted to make it clear first that you can counter attack with any spur of moves that comes to you so long at it does damage and helps you get away, and learning elaborate moves which take time to remeber and execute in the moment, would only complicate things which would be worse for you. You can also disarm your attacker, but I only advise that if two cases. If you can grab a hold of their wrist before the knife reaches you, but that’s only if there’s enough time to do that otherwise attempting that will only harm you. And the second case is if their gripping technique is a weak or improvised one because if you kick or block the arm with enough strength they will lose control of their weapon. He took the play knife and shows a grip. “This grip is called a sideways grip. When holding the knife like this means they want to slash and not stab you, which sounds scary, but this grip is pretty weak and unstable and with a slight hit you can disable them pretty easily. Why don’t you lead by example. I’ll come up at you holding the knife like this and you’ll try to disarm me. You can either do that by gripping my wrist and twisting it until you take the knife out of my hands, which will be hard considering the attacker would gripp it as hard as possible as soon as he realizes you want to take it away, or with this grip you can just knock my hand aside and disarm me pretty easily.” He suggest and immediately, withouth having her confirm, he goes after her, play knife in his right hand attacking her left side with the sideways grip.
