Queen's Blade: Rurou no Senshi EP10 - Spiritual Awakening - Surprise Attack

Listy, Tomoe and Shizuka all reach the edge of Gainos, and Reina and Nanael catch up with them. Listy tells them to leave, so Reina challenges her to a fight for Queen's Blade and Listy accepts. Listy is about to defeat Reina when Tomoe intervenes to stop the battle. Listy tells Reina not to bother competing in Queen's Blade as she is not strong enough. Echidna arrives and challenges Listy to a fight, however after a few minutes of fighting they stop, and Listy announces they will fight again in three days. Reina admits she has no purpose for fighting like everyone else and Tomoe reassures her that she is still right to fight in Queen's Blade. Reina slips out during the night and meets Echidna, and asks her to teach her how to fight. Echidna makes her a suit out of tree sap to protect against being injured in the practice battles. Echidna fights her with all her strength and Reina is so afraid she can barely move. Emboldened by this, Echidna and Reina fight non stop for two days and nights. At the end of this Reina is finally able to land a blow on Echidna, a move Echidna refers to as the Dragon's Tail. Reina comes to fight Listy, only to discover she has already been defeated by Claudette.
