The blade shone in the sunlight, and its weight seemed so balanced that it rested more lightly in her hand than should have been possible. For a starting-level weapon, it seemed to be of the finest quality that could be expected. With a stern expression, she hurried forward, quality shoes slapping softly against the grassy earth. It was an incredible experience to see every action play out as she made split-second decisions. There was no delay, and she found that she could run more easily, by a good measure, than she could in the old world. She didn't have to hesitate or check for obstructions; everything was laid out before her as clearly as if she'd had all day to examine it. All of these thoughts passed in but a moment.

You deliver the first hit, and I'll finish it off while it's focused on you." Her fingers tightened on the sword's handle, gripping it more firmly than was strictly necessary, or even recommended by anyone with real experience in swordplay. For these enemies, though, it would probably be enough. She stood on the balls of her feet, long hair tied back roughly, but just barely beginning to work its way free of the ribbon that held it up.
