Rising power (open)

Shikuro felt Himself getting pulled in, but getting down that easy weren't gonna be that easy, his left arm had been free, then he aimed his elbow right into the arm holding on to his collar, though is Lavi didn't let go with that blow Shikuiro would be pulled down under Lavi, but it result in Shikuro having an elbow facing up against Lavi from stikll having his elbow pointed infront of himself

Lavi was clear at the point that he would get a really hard hit to the stomach once more if he did not moce, but that mattered little, victory was in his grasp, he just had to endure the pain for a little before Shikuro would be forced to yield.
The elbow went right into his gut, but in the same move his sword went over him to place it right near Shikuro's throat, Lavi would not be able to on much longer after this, but so too would Shikuro be forced to forfeit the duel as his sword would be placed right at his neck unless Shikuro somehow got free, which seemed very unlikely to Lavi

Shikuro felt hs back more a less, getting crushed, as he hit the floor, it hurt alot, after a bit he realized the blade next to him placed right at his neck.
He just smiled, keeping on now would mean serius injurries if not death to them both, though it wasn't decided just like that.
"I would call that a tie...that blade right now is a lethal to you as it is to me and..."
Shikuro moved his right hand which which had been out on Lavi's left side ever since he made aside to dodge the stab, and moved it up poking the tip of the zapakutö on right on the back of Lavi's neck., the movement was limited, but he could from the point he was right now, slide it into a more lethal position, but it would only make movement for them both so much more dangerous, and also he didn't care.

Lavi smiled at the current situation everything could become so dangerous that one of them might die by continuing "that just makes it just the more interesting doesn't it" Lavi kept his blade where it was for a little time before he quit his smile and eased up a bit "but I dont feel like killing a fellow student at the current time, so yea we call it a tie" Lavi pushed his sword out to the side so it was out of the way and then got up a little slow as he was a little short on air, and as soon as he was up he held out his hand to Shikuro to pull him up as well

Shikuro exhaled with ease, atleast it wasn't a lost fight though if he had lost it wouldn't matter really. That wasn't why they where fighting anyway, not this time atleast. He smiled taking Lavi's hand, and accepting his help to get back up on his feet.
"I didn't think the point of the challenge was to win or loose, but to both improve yourself and proove yourself in the process, right?"

Lavi had kind of forgotten the reason with it all in the fight, and smiled a weakly with a small sweat drop at his headband "oh right I almost forgot about that, I sometimes just get so lost in the fight that all I do is aiming for winning" Lavi made a small laugh waving a bit at Shikuro, before he looked serious again "well none the less it was a good duel, I did not expect you to get such a good hit in on me" Lavi held his hand at his stomach as the pain from the second hit was a bit too much to just keep in himself "think I will need a rematch against you some day though, we cant leave it to be a tie forever" Lavi made a happy smile hiding the pain

Shikuro hand reached for his yaw, pushing from side to side a few times., though listening carefully, did this guy mean it seriously, was he that into the fight, though he himself had to admit the fight got intense, though their powers was so close to each other, atleast in a sword fight.
"I didn't expect your hit to last this long..."
Shikuro let go, smilling gently, tilting his head slightly.
"And yeah a good fight indeed, all i see worth sparring for is a good fight... other reasons are just not as strong when it comes to sparring"

Lavi stepped past Shikuro and picked up his sword to get it back into his sheath, and looked back over his shoulder to Shikuro "yea I have had to keep back my urge to kill ever since I got here from the Rukongai Lavi had not had easy adjusting to the new way of life in the academy, but so far he had not killed anybody.
The worst case was minor cuts.
Lavi looked ahead again "well atleast today did not seem like a complete waste of time after all" he turned around to shikuro and held up his hand in head height to Shikuro "well thanks for the match I hope to meet you again around here"

Shikuro tilts his head, did this guy guy the the Rukongai?, well seemes he weren't alone from his bad orgins here, though he seemed those comming from out there is better than most of the others.
"Hey, I'm a Rukon member too... though I didn't spend so much time killing out there"
Shikuro slowly sheethes his sword, and stretches lightly.
"Well next time will be hopefully be without these silly outfits"
Shikuro was reffering the academy clothes, as in next time hopefully they will both be graduated students.

Lavi smiled and lowered his hand again "I hear ya, these clothes can make anyone look ridiculous" Lavi turned away from Shikuro and waved to him "well I will hopefulle see you around"

Shikuro shaked his head lightly, starting to walk away to, was this guy understanding him, or just talking with him in the words? Well not really any way to actually find out right now.
"See ya around"
Shikuro smiled, turning around on his heels to walks out of there.
