Kiana- It was nice battling you! I had fun! But, sorry about that last part… I hope I didn’t hurt you.

  Just like the first time, she extends her hand towards Roxy, in an attempt of shaking her hand one more time, not only that, she says all of this with a tender smile on her face.

  Roxy- Yes, you were amazing and don’t worry, it didn’t hurt me at all. Although it was a bit cold. Quite cold in fact, almost as much as the ice that I have in my refrigerator at home.

  Weird comment but, this time, without any hesitation at all, she shakes Kiana's hand.

  Roxy- I’m not a fighter, but the way you fought truly was something else. I was flabbergasted. Bamboozled by what you did. My mind went to the north and back thanks to the cold spectacle you did to my spells.

  What an odd choice of words and what an even odder way of saying whatever she was trying to say. To make things even more straight out awkward, she says it with a monotone tone of voice, then, she slightly tilts her head sideways, raises both of her hands towards chest level, ending the handshake with it mind you, and then with her index finger, both of them in this case, she points them, towards Kiana. What a scene to be honest. What in tarnation is going through her head? And somehow, that group of people erupted with excitement the moment she did this.

  What!?

  Kiana- Uh, thank you, I guess? Anyway, your Heavy Rain was a good idea. Though, in your early Hydro Bullet I did notice that you focused all of your magic and attention to ready up the spell as fast as you could, making it rather weak in the process.

  Roxy- I was panicking a little bit… But how did you know that? Did you notice my face somehow?

  Still with her monotone tone of voice she asks this, however it’s more than evident that she's somewhat worried about it as she touches her face, her glasses should be more precise, looking for some type of opening that would allow the word to fully see her face. But why? Some people are already calling by her name, so why does she insist on hiding her identity? Now that I think about it, the teacher earlier called her by her name so everyone here knows who she is. Unless it’s not her real name? Something is off with her in case any not so sane soul didn’t notice it.

  Kiana- Ah no, I didn’t see anything, don’t worry about it. The only reason that I said that, is that, I can sense magic and I noticed a sudden increase of magic output in that situation, that’s all. What I wanted to say is that, when in panic it’s better to back off than to fire a spell like that. Not only will it be a waste of magic as you saw it, you can by mistake hit your allies as you destabilize the magic circle enough to change the trajectory into something that you would never expect. The Heavy Rain was a nice spell but if you can, I would suggest readying another spell at the same time, just to make sure that whoever is inside of it cannot dodge or counter it the way I did.

  Roxy- I think I see what you’re getting at, but that is way to advance for someone like me. I cannot do dual incanting; I would have to wait for one of them to fully finish to begin the other one.

  “Ah, is that so...”

  It seems that she more than forgot just how advanced she really is. Dual incantation or just two spells at once, is something that very few magicians can do, even the elite ones have a hard time doing so. It’s more than normal that someone like Roxy won’t be able to do it. It seems her excitement took over her, making her forget about this small fact, though Roxy didn’t take it with offence in fact, she seems quite interested. I think. I don’t know, this one is an oddball.

  Aggressive Teacher- Alright, the two of you can talk all you want once all of this is done. Go back to your places, we still have one last round to go.

  Without much of a choice, they both get moving, getting out of the arena, however while they were doing that a few people had a few things to get out of their chest.

  Overly Excited Man- Roxy! My queen! Don’t let this loss get to you! You still are amazing! It was just a fluke on her part!

  Loud Young Man- Yeah, yeah! To us, you still won! You won our hearts once again! Just like always you do!

  Way to Excited Young Woman- Yeek!!!! You were fabulous my princess! Brilliant! Beautiful! Elegant! Don’t let that village girl get you depressed! You are better than her!

  And these ignorants are now starting to target Kiana for some reason. Didn’t they see the battle? Actually, probably not, since Kiana is way stronger and faster than any of them. No wonder they cannot comprehend her greatness.

  Another Excited Woman- Her beauty is nothing compared to you Roxy-chan! Nothing I say!

  Way to Excited Young Woman- Hahaha! Just look how childish she looks! My Roxy looks waaayyy more mature than this kid!

  Can I do something to them? Can I? Pretty please? What will I do, you may ask? Ah don’t worry about it! I’m just going to blast them into OBLIVI-

  Aggressive Teacher- Alright, alright, quiet down! This is starting to get ridiculous! What are you, a child? Just be quiet unless I say otherwise.

  Thank you! I was about to do something stupid to them (not that I can), but since he was loud and with quite the aggressive tone of voice, those imbeciles quickly shut up as they tremble with fear. Ha, these ignorants are unable to see Kiana true beauty, that’s why they are behaving like this. Roxy, prettier than Kiana? While she is good looking, she does not hold a candle to Kiana, seriously just look at the two of them! How did they reach that conclusion!?

  “Ready, set and go!”

  Ahem! While I was questioning their minds and their “brilliant” opinions, the teacher in the meantime called the last two students and once they were ready, he initiated the battle. As anyone can easily expect, the battle was nothing special at all and unlucky to them, the previous battle left the crowd way too excited, making them boo in disappointment after seeing this down to earth mock battle.

  Aggressive Teacher- Alright, this is the end of the mock battles! Everyone, you did a good job! Even if you didn’t win you still have shown us that you have guts, courage and the will to do hard things. But I was not the only one who has seen and felt this-

  With quite the cunning smile on his face, he slightly turns his body backwards and fully extends his arm sideways, backwards to those who are in front of him. He’s pointing to a rather beautiful young lady, who calmly walks up to him.

  “This is Alice Florence! Our strongest student in the Golden Eden Academy!”

  The moment he said her name everything broke down, or it’s more accurate to say that, once she was fully visible to them, then it was when it happened. The majority of them have their mouths dropped to the ground, eyes wide open and filled with shock? Or is it happiness? Either way, it seems that Alice Florence is quite popular or at very least, well known around in these parts. Though, the teacher sure made a bold affirmation especially since Kiana is here. The strongest in The Golden Eden Academy he says… Looking at Roxy, she does not seem to be paying too much attention to her as she is signing some autographs to her “fans” and oh boy, they sure look happy. Kiana on the other hand, has a natural look on her face, it’s more than evident that either she does not know Alice is or she’s just nothing special. Time will only tell I guess, but let’s look at Alice better, shall we?

  She’s for tall side, at least for an average woman. She’s much taller than Kiana, easily being between 168-170 centimetres tall. Just like Kiana, she’s for the lean side, but much more so for the fit side, even behind her clothes you can still see her well-defined but not overly muscular body. However, she still seems quite feminine and good looking. If this was not enough to tell anyone that is fortunate enough to lay eyes on her that she trains hard then, what the teacher claimed should be the hammer hitting the nail dead on. It is evident why he said that as she does have that type of aura on her after all.

  Her legs are long, they are thick in the thighs and thanks to those muscles they are a little bit sharper in some places and the same can be said about the lower part of her legs although with smoother lines to them. Her arms obviously follow the same philosophy, but in their case, they are for the average length for a woman of her size, although her hands are somewhat bigger than normal and much bigger than Kiana’s tender hands. I do wonder the grip strength she can have on those hands; she probably could crush the skull of a human being if she desires.

  Why did I make this analogy?

  The rest of her body is like I said, for the big side thanks to her height, naturally, her breasts are the same, they are for the large side, not huge but still “nice to the viewer and to the one that has the privilege to touch them”. Yes, as a man of culture that was the first thing I’ve noticed, what the hell is the problem with th-

  Her outfit.

  Ah, but before that, her face, another important feature that a human has. She seems to be older than Kiana, but not that much really, I would say just a year or so older, maybe she’s 19? Her eyes, quite the contrary of her whole body, are for the small side but sharp, easily showing a strong will on them, a strong passion even. With sharp eyelashes, her eyebrows do not escape the same fate as them, they are just a tad bit smaller than normal, but as sharp as her eyes. They are thin and smooth, coloured with a strong orange colour, with hues of red throughout them. They are beautiful and I do mean beautiful, the part closer to the centre of her face starts with a bright orange colour and while going up or sideways in this case, it gets darker and into a red colour and finishing off with a mix of orange and red at the end, having that hue that I said before. Her eyes do have the same colours as the eyebrows and exactly in the same way, but in this case, the lower part of them start with the bright orange and at the top, said mix of orange and red, while in the middle, we have the battle of hues between those two colours. I have to be honest, it’s the pinnacle of beauty, almost equal to our Kiana even. By this alone, she could also become a contestant for the goddess of beauty.

  With a sharp chin, it easily tells how mature she seems, but thanks to her young age, the rest of her face is smooth; however, it still combines quite well with each other. She has long hair, one that is voluminous, smooth and strong and exactly with the same colour theory as her eyes and eyebrows but much more noticeable and I do mean that. The top of her head starts with that bright and strong orange, while it descends down her almost perfect curvy back, the battle between hues starts and once again, finishing off with a mix of orange and red. It’s also more than evident that she takes care of it, however in this scenario she has her hair tied down into a pony hairstyle, showing off her face even more and her cutely small ears. She truly is a beauty for the eye. But enough of stroking her ego, at the end of it, Kiana is still better, much better, she might have bigger assets but that’s not all in life! Yep, I’m not coping at all! Shut up!

  If we follow the same code dress as the President of the Student Council, Taniah, what she had, I would expect for her to be wearing something similar to Taniah or maybe more noticeable thanks to her title, but in this case, she’s dressed for the occasion I would say, clearly showing off that, this was planned. Just like before, a brief but somehow long description of her outfit. I do like to yap about women, it seems.

  Oh my, this just sounded a little bit creepy.
