Illya didn't seem surprised at what happened, and she bent her left leg as she leapt, moving at high speed to her left so the blade would simply miss her due to its diagonal nature and limited range.

That, and to engage, Illya very casually swung her blade up from her right. Since she was now at the assassin's right instead of left, engaging her weapon was not to parry, but she was going to cut at the assassin's sword arm.
