Maid-Chan VS Valentina [Platinum Heart Arc Event]

The flash of light that indicated the arrival of the two fighters was very bright and brief. Shortly after teleporting in, Valentina looked around to try and find her opponent, and thankfully she would appear no more than 20 feet away. That made finding her easy as opposed to her last fight. Adjusting her scarf to make sure it properly covered the lower half of her face, Valentina looked over her opponent and sighed. Of the two, Valentina was the bigger one in terms of size. However that just meant the littler one might be harder to hit. If she was a speedy one, that is.

"So your opponent is a Sugiuran." Piped up the voice in the back of Valentina's head. The millenias year old dragon Michael, once revered for his power and infinite knowledge/wisdom who was now reduced to a broken image of his former self. He couldn't even fully leave Valentina's inner realm without literally dying instantaneously. His spirit was broken and forced to fuse with this little hybrid girl in order to survive. Otherwise he would have died almost two decades ago.

"You mean that recluse of a race that apparently doesn't do much outside their own realm?" The woman muttered to herself, looking off to the side like Michael was just over her shoulder. A small chuckle was elicited from Michael in response to Valentina's comment. It seemed she was right for once.

"You catch on quite fast, little one." Michael praised with a clearly pleased voice. It wasn't often that Valentina heard Michael even remotely happy like this, but just the thought of a little smirk on the massive dragon's face was mildly funny to the girl. If she wasn't wearing her scarf, the Sugiuran that she was supposed to fight against would have seen her smirk of amusement. "Now..."

"...Shall we begin?"

"Of course."

The next thing that happened went by at speeds that were not visible to the human eye, or even some spiritually enhanced eyes either. The speed at which Valentina moved made it look like she was teleporting, as it was twice the speed of the average Shunpo at her power level. Her sword was completely unsheathed and held in a reverse hold out in front of her, but at the same time her sheath itself was gone. That was because Valentina had flung it away, aiming it at the Sugiuran that stood in front of her. The aim wasn't perfect but it was flying at the girl's left eye, and even if she could take the hit normally it was her eye that was about to be hit. There was nothing special about the sheath that Valentina had shot at the girl either. It was just a leather sheath big enough to hold the sword that the girl used so often, it wasn't meant to be damaging. It was merely a distraction in this case. Just as fast as she had sheathed the sword, Valentina had vanished completely and was now several dozen more meters away. She wanted to see how fast this girl moved, and so in preparation she bent her knees and lowered her center of gravity to her feet. Flipping her sword fancily into a normal hold, Valentina held it out in front of her in a Samurai-esque stance. Yet her sword wasn't a katana. That didn't mean it wasn't a decent stance for fighting, and it was one she used often for defense.
