Ragna wasn’t in a very good mood today. It wasn’t like she was normally in one anyway. Today she requested a mission and it actually didn’t take as long as it usually did. It was like they just had missions available to spare. She still wasn’t too thrilled about getting d-rank missions. The mission at least involved combat with another shinobi. Her face wouldn’t show that she was actually intrigued about getting to spar with another person. She cracked her knuckles a couple of times as she made her way to the sparring site. It was probably a good thing she was able to get in a good fight. Though, she wasn’t sure if she would take this seriously or not. There was no way she would be forgiven if she accidentally killed someone. Using her sword would probably be out of the question. There wasn’t much else she could do outside of use strictly ninjutsu. The situation wasn’t that serious. She would just adapt to whatever situation was presented to her. Worse case scenario, she would have to fight someone that was way stronger than her.

Ragna checked her paperwork again to make sure she had the correct details. It seemed like she overlooked a few things. Her partner’s name was Falemai. The name wasn’t familiar to her. She sort of shrugged her shoulders as she continued walking to her destination wondering what kind of fight her opponent would put up. Ragna was definitely feeling a bit better about how she was going to clobber her opponent. It was an enthusiastic feeling resembling a glorious reverb that traveled through her entire being. She gritted her teeth in her excitement of the upcoming spar. The battlefield was close by and she was almost not sure how to contain herself. Today, she was going to have an awesome time. There didn’t seem anything that was going to stop her from enjoying herself. The Shinkai blood that ran through her veins was restless. She could almost hear the thumping of the war drums back on the clan’s ships.

Ragna was finally there. She looked around for her would be sparring partner. It wouldn’t be long before she spotted the red hair. She thought that she may taunt her even though it was probably not the wisest thing to do. Her adrenaline pulsated through body readying herself as she would scream her name “Falemai!!! I’m coming for you.” She hoped that this was who her opponent was supposed to be. There were plenty of rocks that were spread throughout the battlefield. Lucky enough for her, she was a close range fighter. Even if her opponent used long range techniques, the rocks would come in her favor. It made her wonder how her opponent would put up with her. Would Ragna become victorious or would she suffer defeat at the hands of one of her comrades in arms.

“Let’s make this interesting. I don’t like to play around too much with kids. I hope you’re ready.”

Ragna wouldn’t give her a chance to respond as she would rush toward her opponent attempting to uppercut her palm into Falemai’s gut before jumping backward a couple of meters. The strike didn’t have her full strength behind it as she wanted to judge her opponent’s abilities. Ragna even reached back for her sword and grunted as she would unlatch her hand from it. It was too early for her to resort to that. Ragna didn’t want to get too carried away.

“I really want you to make this worth it. I want to be entertained.”
