Nadja briefly gets ahead by channeling her rage in consideration to the fact Rinka is about to bring her only reason to live crashing down... only for Rinka to [[ShutUpHannibal call Nadja out on how she's just an assassin, and sad childhood or not, her life is not noble, and she has no excuse for trying to justify a glorified slave ring as a 'means of life.']] What follows is Rinka showing a mastery of Physical Permeation not yet seen in the manga, phasing underneath the elevator the two are fighting in while using one of her legs to keep her hooked to the elevator shaft, confusing Nadja and opening her up to a ''bone-crushing'' kick to the nose. Then, Rinka rises back up, starts ''wailing'' on the assassin, and finishes by ducking under one of her kicks and kicking her right back, like how she finished off Minami, with such force she ''sends Nadja through the elevator AND steel doors leading out to the roof of the building, AND halfway across the helicopter tarmac.'']]

** To better elaborate, after the StarterVillain arc, Black Fist only ever lost fights, and came to the realization it was because she had left her proverbial claws grow dull making friends with the heroes. The Professor, being the smug guy he is, naturally dismisses Black Fist as a threat after 'freezing' her in illusory ice. Following Azuma coming in and shocking The Professor, along with Parrot suppressing his illusions, teleporters come in and aim their guns at Azuma while The Professor wastes time looking smug...only to realize a moment too late that a ''grenade'' just tapped his shoe, with Black Fist looking beaten but determined to continue fighting. That's right. The Jobber scored a victory against a BigBad.
