I didn't know why my opponent was shocked, but the battle was about to begin. She was trying to say sothing, but I couldn't make out the words that she was trying to say.
The battle had started. I just wanted credit. I ran towards her with all my speed, using my sword to slash at her.
My opponent, who was shocked earlier, snapped out of her state. She wasn't half bad, if I was honest. She sent ice toward when I was going in for a hit.
It was a sha that her magic was ice. It was a bad matchup against mine. My sun was too intense for it to be cooled off by her magic.
Shooting so icicles at , I used my magic to make a plasma shield around , nullifying her attacks. Then, with coming closer to her, she made an ice floor as a last resort.
I was genuinely impressed by her powers as a Class C student. If the survival exam was to co, I wouldn't doubt that she would rise in class rankings.
With the floor covered in ice, I stopped moving and used my magic to lt the ice. Doing so, I then shoot beams of plasma toward her.
Having to land a few shoots, she grimaced in pain, feeling the burn I had inflicted on her. Unfortunately, she was too distracted by the pain I had inflicted on her. Seeing that she was hurt, I used this chance to finish her off.
Firing a plasma blast, she was too absorbed by the pain to notice my shot coming toward her. Nevertheless, my blast hit her, and I won the match.
"Charlie Solaris." The girl who just fought looked at bitterly as she spoke softly.
"Did you need sothing from ?" I had a good fight, even though I was beating her easily. So I didn't mind if she ca up and talked to .
"We're groupmates for the survival trip." She softly said. I was surprised when she said that. I was soone who couldn't rember anyone's nas unless I was close to them.
She had a different feeling from most people that I had seen. While she had shown a bitter face when feeling the loss of our battle, she wasn't scared or intimidated by . Most people who knew would be either surprised or scared. So it was a nice change if she was a little more expressive.
"May I know your na?" The nas were posted in our group, but rembering nas wasn't my strong suit.
"Crystal Frost, call Crystal." Crystal said, introducing herself without having any expression on her face.
"You know my na and all, but I prefer it if you just call Charlie." I wasn't fond of my family na, so I just told her to call my na.
Since there were three of us, we could start an actual discussion as a group. Then, we could fill in the details for the remaining mbers of our group.
"One of our mbers is currently spectating us. Since the three of us are here, we could make a plan for this trip." Crystal nodded, following as we left the arena.
Elly, who was spectating, was walking towards us. Knowing that Crystal was soone in our group, they introduced themselves.
"Nice to et you, Crystal. I'm Elly from Class... I." Elly greeted her reluctantly, saying her class.
"Nice to et you too." She coldly replied. She probably looked down on hearing her class. I couldn't say the sa, as I didn't expect much from her during this trip.
They were silent after introducing themselves. It was awkward seeing Crystal dismiss her after they introduced them. If this was going to happen during the survival test, I wouldn't know what to do.
"Why don't we go to a cafe and talk about our plans?" I didn't want this silence to continue, so I offered a suggestion.
They both didn't say anything but followed. Elly was sullen from the attitude Crystal had given her, and Crystal didn't seem like the person to talk to that much. I was also an introvert. But unfortunately, I wasn't well equipped for this kind of situation.
Heading towards a cafe, the three of us didn't start a conversation; it was awkward having two people walk with you without saying anything.
Entering, the waitress showed us to our seats for three. All I ordered was a drink, while Elly and Crystal had ordered sothing light to eat.
,m Seeing that none of them were going to start the conversation, I said sothing. "Did you guys get your survival equipnt? It's better to do it now than later." I wanted them to be prepared just in case sothing went wrong.
"I haven't gotten my camping set yet," Elly replied.
Elly, on the other hand, shook her head.
"Just make sure that you both buy it earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if so of the things you want would be out of stock." I warned them so they wouldn't give an excuse by the ti we went out.
"Elly, if you don't mind, could you tell us about your magic?" Unlike Crystal and , we knew nothing about her magic. However, she had seen ours; it would be good to know what it is before we start our test.
"My magic allows to restrict a movent of any kind." That was a helpful ability; it was a sha that she was still a rank one magician. She would only be able to slow down two monsters for a while.
The three of us had our orders taken, with Elly telling our magic. After that, we talked briefly and talked a bit about the test. Crystal wasn't as cold towards Elly, but she didn't acknowledge her existence.
We made our way out of the cafe when they finished their food. I didn't want to stay any longer, splitting up with the two of them.
Having nothing left to do, I went back ho and chilled there for the rest of the night. I just hoped the fourth mber wouldn't be hard to deal with.
