Hit Girl floated back down, not even taking a moment to sit. She was going to have to be quick: this fighting in the dark might eventually mean she wouldn't see him attack, and she definitely didn't want to give him the chance. She would have be quick, quiet and devastating.

So it was time to use one of the spells rein had told her about, one she had practiced before coming here, just barely getting it right. It wouldn't be as powerful as, say, someone who knew it REALLY well, but as Hit Girl knew the Negi spell similar to it, the dynamics she could follow easily enough.

"Crossfire shoot!" She concentrated her energy into the attack, launching three magic orbs at Mercer. It was similar to Negi's magic arrows, but stronger at least, and would both hurt and slow him down.
