Azurea stood atop a floating piece of rock, her arms crossed, breathing steady.
Sparks and scraps of metal floated around her as her opponent—an S-Rank automaton—lay scattered in broken pieces behind her. She had finished her battle with ease.
Not far from her, Marina hovered calmly, brushing some dust off her robes. Her opponent hadn't even managed to land a clean blow before she took it down. Cold and quick.
Once they were done, both women turned and dashed through the sky, heading toward their new teammates.
Osha was still locked in combat when they reached her. But she was doing fine—she had already pushed her automaton opponent to its limit.
When Azurea joined in with her draconic might, the fight was over in seconds. Osha gave her a nod, not offended by the help.
Someone who felt really troubled was Naya.
