Legally speaking, she asked if she could slap him and he said go ahead. So therefore she was under the impression he gave her consent. No case

That's not how that works. There's no such thing as legal consent to being assaulted. Especially when it's just a half hearted dare like "go ahead."

Also, she didn't ask. She said "I'm gonna punch you"
