When she cuts the tube, the sword becomes covered in a substance which turns out to be grease for machinery. The grease greatly reduces the blade's sharpness, and when she swings the blade at Touma and hits his wrists, the blade doesn't cut him. Before she could react to this, he slams his entire weight into her chest and knocks her unconscious. He protects her head before she hits the ground, and lays her on the ground.
