I could imagine Valic being one of those mini fate/duty battles you end up doing for classes/jobs. For what exactly is beyond me, I could only imagine as one of the ending red mage job quests, or to test the warrior of light's strength utilizing Hydaelyn's blessing and the echo. More than likely the latter because I wouldn't want to take such an honor for the former. I can't come up with a quest line off the bat but I can get to the part just before the fight itself begins.
1 Man Fate Quest - "Knowledge is Power"
Location: A small arena designated area near Little Ala Mhigo
Prefight cutscene dialogue: "At last, I can test the mettle of Hydaelyn's Warrior of Light! I must say, I have read much and heard plenty of your ventures."
*adjusts his spectacles, light reflects the outsides of his glasses as he smirks confidently*
"Yes, I can sense your aether's immense power already..."
"However, my time in military service has shown me a vast assortment of warriors and monsters of such a fitting caliber. Hearken unto my desire, prove your prowess to me oh true Warrior Of Light!"
*unsheathes his rapier and magicked crystal medium, applying them together to toss it into the air, adjusting his collar and catching it back in hand without effort*
"En Garde!"
*music begins, diagonal camera zoom and flash of light zooming in on the fight*

Opening fight dialogue: "Satiate my devotion to Hydaelyn... and do not disappoint."
Aggro dialogue: "As swift as the Lifestream's aether..."
Combat Dialogue:
1. Casting Aero/Spells - "Your distance shall only favor mine advantage."
2. Throughout the fight - "Most impressive, I should expect nothing less!"
3. Gap closer > Retreat > Flare - "An opening... this shall prove to be your downfall."
4. Performing a random aoe - "I will test The Echo's very nature!"
Mid Fight Mechanic: "*pant...* *pant...* You have not broken my composure yet..."
Around 50% hp, he would cast a unique healing spell to recover about 25-30%. Unable to silence/stun through, instant cast.
"Do not falter now... We have only just begun!"
15%-10% hp remaining: "Remarkable... such tactic and form! Your technique supersedes my own..."
5%-1% hp remaining: "Damn... I yield, destined hero of Hydaelyn..."
Conclusion fight cutscene:
*music cuts in, Valic showing a brief tired out motion*

"Huff... huff... Such a display Character's name. You truly have pressed my limits and surpassed my ability in combat."
*Valic adjusts his glasses and regains his composure*
"Had I known you were so resilient to the very end, I would have not held back to begin with... I dare say you're a most formidable opponent...."
*Valic turns to a standard pose, then brings a very warm smile to his face*
"But an even greater ally..."
*warrior of light nods his/her head like the emotionless ragdoll he/she is*
"Let us celebrate over a meal shall we? I must record our my deductions from our battle into my journal promptly lest my memory wanes."
