Kana matched the other girl's grin. If she was truly challenging her to a spar, she'd *Have* To put on a good show. She didn't want to completely destroy the girl of course, but if Miku was competing in the tournament she didn't wanna go easy on her. 

"Alright, bring it on then! I won't hold back, just so you know."
Nelson
*"Understood."* Was all she would write before quickly unsheathing her sword. Falling into an offensive stance, she gave Kana amoment to prepare her own weapon before she lunged forward, delivering a hard overhead strike towarsd the chunin. She wasn't used to this style of sword yet, however, so the strike didn't have the kind of grace she usually had with her katana.
Sachiko
Kana drew her own sword, a simple wakizashi. She certainly took notice of how the girl's movements didn't seem as refined as the last time they fought, though she wouldn't notice the difference in her blade. Maybe she was just having an off day? Whatever the case was, Kana would frown slightly as she brought her blade up, clashing with Miku's. She would swiftly reach for the tanto at her back, attempting to slice across the girl's abdomen as she'd be left open. 

"Alright, what's the deal? You're swinging a little slow today?"
Nelson
Miku sidestepped the slash, avoiding the strike aimed at her abdomen. So, Kana had noticed her movements were a bit off then? That was upsetting, she had thought she wasn't that easy to read. Her fireflies quickly formed a few words while she went in for another strike, slamming the hilt of her sword towards Kana's stomach. 

*"Not used to this sword."*
Sachiko
Despite how scatter brained Kana usually seemed, she was quite perceptive in battle. Not so much when it came to literally anything else of course. But when in a fight, she was surprisingly good at noticing the small details. She sheathed her tanto once more the moment Miku was able to dodge the slash, freeing up her hand. Using her armor technique to make sure she avoided cutting herself, she would bring her palm down on top of the sword handle, trying to redirect the blow. 

"Ah, I see. Well, guess that just means you need some more practice then!"

With a cheeky grin, she would skillfully bring her sword back around in a diagonal sweep aimed for her shoulder.
Nelson
With the trajectory of her swipe thrown off, Miku would be forced to quickly bring it back and up to block Kana's swipe at her shoulder. However, she proved to be just a second too late and the blade narrowly sliced across the armor on her shoulder. It didn't cut the flesh, but the impact of the blade would be likely to leave a bruise. Kana was right, she needed more practice if she was going to have any chance in the tournament. 


*"I agree."* She lunged forward, slamming her armored forearm towards Kana's chest to throw her off balance and followed it up with a clean horizontal slash towards her midsection.
