(34)Chapter 1.1.6– The Mock Battles and Her First Battle. (Part - 5)

  Basically, it’s a full body suit, coloured with a dark shade of grey and a few places here and there with darker shade of red. As anyone can expect, this bodysuit fits her extremely well, it’s tight, easily showing off her curves and well-defined body. Her chest, neck and for some reason her belly, they are somewhat exposed while the rest of her body is covered. Because of this, the chest area has that, how should I say, “characteristic line that any man of culture loves to see”, right between her breasts and since they are for the large size, it’s quite noticeable. Yes, I’m still looking at them.

  Cough!

  I’m getting carried away again, sorry about that. A collar surrounds her neck but it leaves the front of it wide open and exposed. It’s roughly 5-7 centimetres wide, with a line at the top filled with fur, said fur is coloured in that darker shade of red while the rest of it with the grey colour. Her shoulders are of course covered, but they are rather simple looking almost as if she removed something from them. I would say that, at the top of the shoulders armour would be present, starting a few centimetres after the neck and maybe going off her own shoulders another few centimetres. This is only my speculation as I cannot say with certainty that I’m correct, but the fact still stands, through her body there seems to be missing a few parts of her “bodysuit” and I do believe it to be armour. Either way, right below where the shoulder armour would be, there is a flower pattern designed on it, one that covers the rest of her shoulder and it goes a little bit into the breast area, though it’s only on her left shoulder, as in the right one there are thorns designed there, ones that easily go all away around her shoulder, and even touching her breast just like the flower one.

  Going down her arm, the bodysuit is quite tight on it, easily allowing us to see the definition of her muscles. With the same collar fur thingy, there is a line of it around 8 centimetres tall and another 15 centimetres wide, dividing the upper arm and lower arm with it, giving out a somewhat decent feminine contrast with the rest of the bodysuit, however the same happens with her wrist, where the same design pattern happens although in a smaller scale. Her hands are covered with gloves that seem to allow her to grip anything that she might want to a hold on to. These ones have a thorn pattern just like the ones in the right shoulder and with a small flower right at the top of her hand. These thorns go all around the rest of her hand, however for some reason her middle and second finger are not covered by said gloves, they are completely exposed. But why is that though? What purpose does it serve to have it in that way? Sometimes I do not understand women's fashion.

  Going down her body, as I said before for some reason her belly is exposed although not all of it. Both of her sides are covered with the bodysuit and even a bit of the front, creating the shape of an arrow tip on it, one where the sides of it are smooth rather than sharp. Right between her legs and that area, you know, that area in the middle, there is a V shaped line that goes all around upwards until her waist where from there it straightens up and goes a bit backwards ending a few centimetres afterwards. This line has the same colours as the one in the collar for example, but rather than having fur to it, instead it has frills. The pants of the body suit, they are tight as expected and good looking, right from the top of her upper legs, her thighs to be exact, we have the same thorn design going all the way down her legs, stopping only once it reaches her boots, ones that are for the big size. With a flat heel to them, her boots seem to be made of a sturdy material, I would say a special leather as they seem to be made of that, with a few details of that red, it fits perfectly with the rest of her bodysuit.

  She looks apart, she looks really nice and at the same time, I can easily take her as a fighter thanks to it. Her posture, one that is completely straight, with her hands down but ready for anything, a facial expression that tells anyone that, “she’s eager for what might come”, subtle things that make a difference between a normal human and a fighter. Maybe he was right when he proclaimed her as the strongest in the Academy.

  Aggressive Teacher- Some of you might wonder, why is she here? While others already have an idea of why. But don’t worry, I will explain everything. One of you, by chance of course, will have the opportunity to spar with Miss Florence. And yes, all of you are included, those who have fought already and those who only watched the mock battles. Inclusive and diverse if I say it myself.

  A despicable smile appears on his face as he finishes saying this, he sure is looking forward to the unfortunate person who will spar with Alice. The crowd reactions as expected, they are quite mixed, some are neutral to this, others are way too excited screaming “Heck yeah!”, while others are afraid, reluctant to spar with her. “She’s too strong!”, “I don’t even know how to fight!”, “How am I even supposed to win like this!?”, “Please god, not me!”, panic arises in their mind as to them, Alice simply is in a place far too high. To them, Alice is an immovable wall and to make it worse, one that fights back and beats them into a pulp. Kiana on the other hand, she’s like the excited crowd, not to their extent, but close. Her eyes are sparingly with excitement, her beautiful golden eyes are wide open, filled with hope that she will be chosen one, her voluptuous lips form a big smile on her face as the thought that she can be the one to fight Alice crosses her mind. Both of her hands, just like an overly excited child would, are closed, grasping into themselves as the sheer happiness tries to overflow out of them. They also are raised just a tiny bit above her waist and slightly forward, imitating a child with it. To make this even weirder, she’s not like this just because she might spar with Alice, no, in reality, it does not matter to her if she actually does spar with Alice or not, she just wants to see Alice in action.

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  “You seemed a little excited, Miss Eris, do you know her?”

  And then, this weirdly captivating monotone tone of voice brings her back to normal. It seems Roxy slipped past her “fans” and walked up to Kiana and since she was in that state of mind, she missed her doing so.

  Kiana- Uh, actually no… but she seems somewhat strong, at least leagues above the people here, in fact I would even say that she’s stronger than the teacher himself! I would love to test her out! Her skills, magic, everything! Ah! The thought of it!

  Roxy- Somewhat strong? Test her out? You want to fight someone as strong as her for those reasons alone?

  Unable to fathom and understand Kiana current reasons and emotions, she slightly tilts her head sideways as she asks this. Just as Kiana was about to continue on her mad jabbering, the teacher speaks up.

  Aggressive Teacher- Calm down! Do any of you even know what manners are? I will be choosing a lucky one, just quiet down until then!

  Well, this sure was enough to quiet everyone down. Anyway, mere moments later another teacher walks up to him, a female one in this case, the one that in the gym told the students to come here to be extremely precise in case someone wants to know. She is carrying with her a decent sized box made of wood, roughly 30 centimetres in all directions, with a round hole right at the top. Inside of it, we have several small pieces of paper, ones that have the names of each student currently present here. Without saying anything at all, the aggressive teacher slowly puts his hand inside of the box and stays there for a few seconds “choosing” the lucky one. That bastard is playing with people's anxiety as they anxiously wait for the “winner”, to make it even more evident just how sane this teacher is, he has a smirk on his face as if he’s enjoying seeing these people suffer. Whatever, after those long ten seconds, he finally removes his hand from the box with a closed piece of paper with it. He slowly opens up the piece of paper and from there he reads out the name.

  “And we have our lucky winner! Anya Pandora! The gods have smiled upon you it seems! You have been chosen!”

  Disappointed Young Man- What!? It’s rigged! How the hell did that happen!? It’s riggeeeeeedddd!

  This sure did not take too long, in fact, just as the teacher finished saying who had won, a young man slightly older than Kiana, quickly and loudly complains.

  Annoyed Young Lady- Shut up, you idiot! What are you even on about? You just saw the results; how can you say something like that?

  Disappointed Young Man- I should ask you that! What do you mean? How can I say something like what I said a few moments before you? I’ve prayed to all gods that I currently know, and let me tell you, they are quite a few of them! I prayed to them so that I could win the damn draw! And somehow, they failed me! Those bast-

  Annoyed Young Lady- Is your head empty? It actually might be, why did I even bother to ask? Were you really trying to waste a miracle for this? This!? Are you mad or what!?

  Disappointed Young Man- Erm, yeah? Duh! I should’ve won, just look at how many gods I have prayed to! Of course, I am mad!

  Anyway, I think we’ve got the idea. Some of them, the majority in this case, are rather disappointed that they didn’t get lucky, a few of them are neutral while the rest are beyond relieved for not being chosen. However, what about the lucky girl herself?

  “No way… From all the people here and I was the one who got chosen? Why, just why is my luck this bad?”

  Unfortunately, she’s one of those who did not want to get chosen. As I often have said, fate is cruel and it likes to play around with people's lives and emotions. The complaint is quiet, basically to herself, one with a defeated tone of voice, one with a sad and yet angry look on her face. She complains to herself and to the world for this undesired, unfair and unpredictable situation. Well, it was predictable but not desired and just like that delusional young man, she also prayed to the gods so that she wouldn’t be chosen, however they did the same thing as they did to him, they didn’t listen and, in her case, it made it worse.
