The little figure smirked at the fox-woman, "How about we start with something light."

*snap

Four, level six magic brands appeared out of thin air as the little figure snapped its fingers. Its thin lips smiled as it spoke softly, "Saint magic, Aero Gale."

(You call that light?!) thought the princess and her uncle. Even in Luderia, saint magics were scarce and only limited personnel could learn it.

*swoosh

Like its name, gales from the four magic brands approached Kyoko with rage. Its wind blew everything in its path as the last cauldron was also caught up with the spell and propelled until it etched to the wall. Even Rowland who was at the other side of the attack, couldn't help but covered his eyes with his arm.

Against the raging wind, Kyoko smiled before gently waving her pure hand.

*zing

One small black magic brand appeared in front of her. In the face of the raging wind, the small magic brand looked like an ant that's about to withstand a stomp from an elephant. However, the little figure's eyes turned serious instead of laughing.

(A level nine magic?) thought the little figure. It knew that no matter what realm of magic used, basic. taboo, saint... a level nine and the illustrious level ten were even rarer than finding one thousand one hundred and one clove leaves.

"Saint magic, Pale Ice," chanted Kyoko with a smile.

(Did I hear that right? Another saint magic?!) thought the princess as her eyes couldn't help but take a peek despite the raging wind. Her surprised further enhanced by the fact that the color of the magic brand was black.

(A-a level nine!) screamed the princess in her thought.

"Hmm?" Rowland slowly took away his arm as he didn't feel the rampaging wind anymore. (Oh god I hope my third floor is still usable). He slowly opened his eyes in fear of what reality had for him. The moment he got a vision, his eyes opened wider and wider.

*thud

His knees turned weak before dropping to the ground. He saw something that was beautiful yet devastating.

There was an abstract shaped ice sculpture that almost filled the entire room from the center. It looked like a tree that had numerous branches, but barely. One thing for certain was that the color of the ice was pale white.

The princess gulped at the result of their initial encounter. She could roughly gauge the power these two just released, and she was sure that the entire battalion from Luderia could be wiped out by these two alone.

"Wow, that's amazing Kyoko!" shouted Lyon from behind before leaping to hug her. (Paradise here I come!)

*hit

Kyoko hit Lyon's head before reprimanding him, "It's not over yet little brother, please step back."

*tch

Lyon clicked his tongue in a disappointment as he walked back.

Kyoko smiled at the grunted Lyon before turning her focus back on the battle.

Though they were separated by the ice, they could see them partially at each other.

"That's quite a spell you just chant, who are you fox-woman?" said the little figure with a smile. With its identity as an elder from the Alchemy Union, it knew a lot of quite capable people in its circle. Some of them had a level nine saint magic, but the little figure didn't recall her at all. Even if the little figure didn't know her personally, someone this capable would hardly go unnoticed.

"Don't you think it's impolite to demand a name before introducing oneself?" chuckled Kyoko.

"Ho~, I guess you are right, my name is Elise, Elise Growthwort," said the little figure.

Lyon was biting his lips until the cold sweat started to build upon his forehead. Elise noticed this small motion as she said, "Boy, you finally remember huh?"

"That's right, I'm Elise Growthort, the 'Elise'," said Elise with pride as she pointed to herself.

(Oh God, please stop saying your name, or I will burst!) thought Lyon as he bit his lip even harder. He didn't want to make the situation any worse than it was just because of his humor level.

"Hmm, did the name Elise Growhthort made you realized your mistake?"

"Hahahaha!" Lyon burst out with a hearty of laughter. (Oh shit, oh shit, I just made the situation worse than it is! But, why would someone's name that contains the word 'growth' be short? I hate myself for having such a low leveled humor but hahaha! Goddamnit!).

"Boy, you are really asking for it, aren't you?" said Elise as veins appeared on her forehead.

Kyoko shook her head in disbelief, (People would want to avoid problem whenever they can, but you make more than it should).

"I'm sorry Elise, I'm so sorry, I don't mean to disrespect you, it's just that I have really low-level humor, please don't misunderstand," said Lyon while putting his hand together to apologize.

Elise sighed, as she waved her hand, "That's fine, I will understand, you are not the first person to laugh at my full name."

Lyon stopped his laugh in a flash as his eyes turned to excitement, "Eh? You do? That's great hahaha!"

"After I punch your face,"

"Hahaha... what?"

Kyoko clapped her hand with a smile, "It's settled then, My name is Kyoko, nice to meet you and this boy over here, is Lyon."

She pulled the dumbfounded Lyon and gave it to Elise before saying, "Well just please don't kill him or cripple him."

"Kyoko?! No, older sister! Please have mercy!" said Lyon begging.

Kyoko shook her head in a firm manner, "Laughing at a maiden's name, shame on you little brother. Your punishment is because of your own wrongdoing,"

Lyon then averted his gaze toward the ever-loving Ryona before she said, "Sorry Lyon, What overseer wants, overseer gets, I'll be sure to treat your bum later."

He slowly averted his gaze to the woman that he took a stroll with but, "That was overstepping the line, Lyon."

In the end, he sighed, before turning around to face Elise.

(Hm?) The more he looked at her his cheeks turned red.

"Are you ready this is-" Her words stopped as she felt a warm palm slowly patting her head. Her eyes were emotionless as Lyon keeps rubbing her head.

*boom

Lyon was sent flying (Eh?) with a big bump from his left cheek before hitting the wall.
