Valentina Nieto/Asuna Fujino - Testing The Waters

[Devilish53]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Valentina felt somewhat foolish. One would suspect a wrestler to commit to sparring before their debut, to ensure they were at their peak, before actually wrestling. With her first match now already in the past, Valentina could no longer complete such. There'd always be time to spar and train mind, but first impressions can't be given twice.

Spoiler

Quickly mounting the ropes, clad in her fitting sports bra and fitting shorts, the blonde slid quickly through the ropes, feet to the canvas with a hop to her step.

Speaking of first impressions, the Spaniard was eager as could be to meet her partner for the evening. Knowing only her name, and the fact she shared a weight class with the blonde beauty, Valentina would begin throwing shadow punches to the air as she warmed up, eagerly waiting. And a little jealous, given Asuna still had her in-ring debut!

[Satoshi]

Asuna was still exploring the LAW complex, so it took her a bit to get here. Her sparring was set up by her manager so she didn't knew much about her opponent, other than that they shared a weight group and that she was relatively new to LAW as well. Part of her wanted to just get on with her proer debut, but a little training never hurt so she agreed.

She eventually walked into the sparring area stretching her arms, still lost in her thoughts a little, so it took a second before she noticed her opponent already waiting. She looked up with neutral expression, impressed by her opponent's looks. Seems like it won't be a simple match. "Hello there." She greeted her simply as she climbed into the ring between the ropes, and walked into her corner.

[Devilish53]

Waiting for Asuna now to mount the ring, with her eyes already firmly latched upon her, Valentina attempted to take in every inch of the figure she'd soon be casually trying to defeat. There'd be no intent of harm in the fight to come, with the exception of the little bumps and grazes that came with a hit or a slam, but there was as ever the desire to win. Even if the match wasn't an official one of sorts, no-body liked to be a loser.

"Why, hello there..." Smile extending honestly as did her hand, Valentina intended to shake the hand of the figure she'd soon be fighting, whilst still checking out her foe as it were.

[Satoshi]

Asuna walked up to Valentina and shook her hand firmly. She was inspecting her opponent throughly, with a slightly nervous expression. She knew this was just a spar, but this was her first ever fight within LAW and that did make her a little nervous as well as boost her wish for a victory. After the handshake Asuna pulled her hand back and stopped in front of Valentina, putting her palms in front of her body, offering to lock up with her as a test of strength to kick off the spar. "Ready to go?" She asked with a smirk forming on her face. After all, she loved wrestling, and that's what got her here.

[Devilish53]

Valentina shook that hand rather briskly, almost like a playful attempt a power play as she over gripped the hand in her midst. With space now between them, the Spanish beauty would raise her hands into a boxing stance, eager to begin the spar with something of a gentle brawl, before she was given an alternative.

"Meh...why not?" She'd grin, a powerful figure by default, albeit not exactly the definition of strength, the Spaniard would shake off her fingers before stepping forward, and trying to latch hands with her foe. If this went poorly, she figured, she'd simply box her way back to the top.

[Satoshi]

Asuna smiled as Valentina went for the lockup, she was way less confident in brawling, but this way even if she gets pushed back, she can find a way to bring the fight to the ground. She waited for Valentina to lock up and get a stable footing then lowered her head between her arms and started pushing with all her strength, not holding back, hoping to force her opponent backwards in the ring.

[Devilish53]

Matching her foe tit-for-tat, Valentina spread her legs wide before bending, locking fingers tightly around the hands that now pressed her. Her smile grew a little more confident, not at her confidence in herself in winning the test, but her confidence the spar was going to be a fun one. The moment between the two hand-holding fighters a little tense, the mood would be broken as not only Asuna showed her strength, but the figures of both women found themselves pressing, as the flame haired rookie opted to go straight for gaining ground.

Not to be outdone, with torsos and bosoms pressing, the Spanish figure would bring her leg back. Using it as a brace in an attempt to stop her foe forcing her further back, Valentina would opt to press her strength not straight forward, but downwards. Bending her foes hands at the fingers and palms, she'd try to reduce Asuna down to a knee or two if she could!

[Satoshi]

Asuna was confident as her body pressed against her foe, however she didn't seem to make any real gains and soon Velantina started using her slight height advantage on her, pressing from upwards. Asuna wasn't going down easily however, her legs remaining straight behind her as her body bended backwards slightly, still pressing tightly against Valentina. She knew this wasn't favourable position however, as she couldn't hold from this angle against such a foe forever, so she started twisting her hands and body to the side, trying to shove Valentina onto the ground and jump on top if successful. Even with the tough position the match felt invigorating after the long time spent with the busywork of moving over.

[Devilish53]

With her foe again holding firm, Valentina would find her teeth baring as competitiveness began to set in. She couldn't outright overpower the girl, that was fact. But at least for now, the same appeared to apply vice-versa. Finding her foe curiously beginning to rock her frame in a motion that she suspected would lead to her being drawn, the Spanish figure again flared her nostrils, as a response came to mind.

Releasing and twisting her right hand free of her foes just as her frame was rocked to the left, Valentina would attempt to seize stability and control in the hold, as that now free arm hooked straight up for a headlock attempt!

[Satoshi]

Even as Asuna rocked her body to the side Valentina managed to stay on her feet and even break an arm free to lock around Asuna's head. Asuna grunted as she felt the tight hold around her neck but managed to stay upright. At first she tried to tug Valentina's arm away but she had no real angle and failed, so as a last resort started launching punches towards her foe's stomach, trying to force her to give up the good position. Her strikes weren't the best, but it would definitely hurt if they landed and Asuna would keep punching as long as there is no real change in their position.
