Cloud pushes his weight into the blade as they clash, bracing himself for the counter and meeting Sephiroth in the middle as they lock blades. Based on their memories of home Sephiroth should absolutely be dominating this contest, but here on Crystallis they're equals. If anything, Cloud might have the slight edge if Sephiroth isn't using his custom Job. The blonde catches the smile on the First Class' face and returns one in kind. For a moment Cloud finds himself able to forget all about their circumstances in this world and just enjoy a dream realized.
And then he pushes the thought aside, focusing on the spar once more. Pushing against the Masamune he makes another attempt to get inside the range, turning forward motion into a spinning slash. Even if it doesn't connect, and he doesn't expect it will, he tries to make it so he's forcing Sephiroth to the corner. He's not sure what he'll do then, but it seems like a good strategy.
