Miriam, Nadia, and Asha were on the side, watching the battle with calm expressions.
Lucy had set them aside for any unwanted guests that might appear on the battlefield. Her battle plan was indeed solid.
She wasn't taking any chances, even if the first battle was this simple. There are strange variables in battles, so she made plans for them.
Miriam is quick with her sword simply because her speed is on another level. Even before she awakened her bloodline, she was a great swordsman, but now, she had become monstrous.
So, putting her aside for when the unwanted monsters appeared was a good move.
As for Nadia, Lucy had set her aside because she wanted her to study how they fought first and how best to handle the next battle.
Since she would be controlling her puppets, she had to understand their fighting styles so she could integrate with them well in the next battle.
But aside from that, she was also meant to handle any unexpected threats that might arise.
