"Battle Commence!" Mika shouted—the built-up disgust between the two sides almost exploded as Alicia and Erika took action before Ryuji even said anything.
What he didn't know is that in private, Alicia requested to join the training with Erika and Yumiko as her delicate fingers grasped a single arrow and drew her bow with a graceful movement, a swirl of magic rotating like a vortex around the arrow's tip.
Erika meanwhile dashed forward, her pace and movements calculated as she suddenly burst forward, accelerating as Alicia loosed her wind-arrow the arrow and Erika's blades cut through the air, with a heartless and relentless speed, only for Grey's body to stand like an immoveable wall, blocking both attacks, before slamming Erika into the sand with a shield slam, his eyes gazing at her with his lips curling into a sneer.
