There was a good 3 yards currently between Hotaru and Versace both, given their choice for fight there was still plenty of room to comfortably move around in before reaching into the forest. Versace's katana was 2 ft in length and had an additional foot or so with Versace's forearm. Comparative to Hotaru who was probably going to use just her fists, he had an advantage on range whenever they finally met up and began to fight up close.

Versace knew that this fight in of its entirety was going to be more than just a challenge. She was obviously older than him and probably had a lot more experience than he did. He wasn't a genius, but he could at least attempt strategizing to fight against Hotaru. He couldn't hold out any longer though, Hotaru accepted his offer and said he could go first.

"Let's go, I guess," Versace lazily spouted as he reached into his pockets where he stored most of his tools.

He did this slowly, and with an unexpected swiftness took out 3 shuriken in between his fingers before slinging them straight towards Hotaru and taking off in a dash trailing right behind them. These 3 shuriken on their own were already an issue present, if Hotaru simply ignored them they'd tear and embed themselves within her shoulders and chest. Yet if she focused solely on that, then that would leave her open to Versace's attack as right when the shurikens made their mark or Hotaru was dealing with them then he would attack her with his sword. There was a 2 ft. gap distance when he closed in on her, off center to the right by just a couple inches or so.

As mentioned before as the shuriken landed, Versace would immediately throw out his left arm holding the katana in a horizontal slash across Hotaru's stomach. It would similarly cut through her skin and shirt, but not do much else as the long cut would just bleed a little. This was all done in quick succession, leaving Hotaru with little time to react. By the time Hotaru tried to deal with him, having to need to dash or reach out to him; Versace would already be putting his forward momentum to roll off to the side where he could come back and launch another immediate attack.
