"Deployed, huh?" she murmured without pressing. It sounded like an interesting situation for a young girl, but this place was full of people who had performed crazy feats. Asami felt very normal considering the kinds of people who were transported here, which was refreshing in its own right. In any case, she did want to know this girl's story, but another time.

Asuka's genuine appreciation was very nice and gratifying, and so Asami returned her grin with a gentler smile. "You're so welcome! It was my pleasure. I'll be right back."

She turned her back to approach the nearby stock of armaments, and after inspecting a couple of choice weapons, she grabbed a pole.

"Kind of like a spear, but less pointy. I'm excited to pit up against a regular user," she said, nodding towards the mats.
