Golden Glade all that he invested in goes straight to hell

It hurt to lose but not enough to prevent her grin from popping back in to place as she rolls breathlessly to her feet. Both girls were out of breath and pacing a bit, and it was the stranger who broke the quiet - Ikkuma hadn't missed the added caveat, but she was tired and spacing out a little bit, so it took further prompting from the fiery girl before she finally took a breath and said, I'm -- I'm Ikkuma.

Catching her breath eventually, she gave the girl another once-over before stating, You're fast. Who taught you to move like that? She could see a bright future for this stranger as a warrior - maybe a similarly bright future for herself if they became training buddies, but Ikkuma would not present the suggestion immediately. Maybe it was a fluke; maybe someone had taught this girl but was no longer around, which would mean the ex-Tartok girl would be out of luck.
