Except that the bench did not hit Ascot, as he backflipped, then high jumped, out of the way, landing on the ground as other objects launched themselves at him. However, he was ready with Reflect, no, several Reflect spells, same as Joshua used against him back when they had fought. If Satoko drew close to him, or if he drew close to Satoko, she would recieve the damage she had been planning to inflict upon him.

Not just that, but Guard, thanks to the magical properties of the Keyblade, would also be able to block the furniture and other fixtures that had been thrown at the young Paladin. However, that was not his nastiest suprise; with Counter, he threw the objects back at Satoko, pelting her with a rain of her own projectiles. After deflecting one bench at Satoko's face itself, he decided it was time to come back to melee.

Casting Haste, he made three great leaps towards the Nobody, each taking a split-second; Ascot had gotten much faster since his last duel with another sapient being. Then, he cast Holy, engulfing himself in a column of light that split into a circle of several smaller pillars, which would blow back Satoko. Then, once the light had faded, he would vanish, reappearing behind the fighter.
