Sephiroth is only looking for some space where he can train well away from other people. He has no concerns about using the machete in battle--he already has, and the insects were not formidable--but it's a part of his usual routine that he actually likes. A way to feel at ease with himself.
On the other hand... catching sight of the woman running through her own practice isn't entirely unwelcome. He hasn't had a worthy sparring partner in... well, since he was a child, still learning, but he hasn't fought a match at all since coming to the islands. He stops to watch like a creeper, assessing her.
