Maeve for the first time not only in this match but in every fight she had with her peers has never moved from her spot. She would always say that a snake waits patiently for its meal to come then in the perfect moment strikes. So seeing her not waiting to counter and instead initiating an attack was quite shocking. As Maeve started attacking Michael and Michael was evading every attack, she started talking.
"You know Michael my family's martial arts is based on snakes, but that doesn't mean we wanted to be snakes. My family had always dreamed of becoming Dragons like the Mugami Clan, so my dream is to stop being a snake and become a Dragon!"
While she was talking the attacks Maeve was unleashing had become fiercer than before, still, even with this as long as he focused Michael was able to easily evade the attacks. Maeve's attacks cannot compare to the attacks of Loki while he was training Michael. Loki's attacks were like a hallucination it was hard to evade.
