Honoka realized too late that punching towards Itsuki's chest was a mistake. Of course, she would be able to block that, almost all martial artists trained to defend themselves from that kind of attack, it was the wider area.

So Itsuki's punch hit Honoka in the side without too much trouble, and she let out a wince. It wasn't as bad as getting it by a Zakena, but it still hurt a lot. She readied herself for another strike, hoping she'd be able to block that one while she worked to try to get her arm free.
