Inside the Class-A territory, Adela was in a standoff against Mordica and Ariel.
The two Class-E students stood opposite her, wary and guarded.
In a low voice, Ariel spoke to Mordica. "Her ability is an instant one. However, it needs processing time. I'm not sure how long this time will be, but we have to take her down before then."
Mordica glanced at him, her eyes narrowed.
"How do you know that?"
The boy shrugged and didn't reply. Instead, he held his daggers tightly, then dashed at the lilac-haired girl.
"Ariel Hilton."
Adela called his name, smiling. Before he reached her, she immediately summoned a thick black rod and swung it at him.
Instead of dodging and pressing towards her, Ariel completely retreated, returning to Mordica's side.
The two girls were confused, but his next words made sense.
"I just probed her now. She's very skilled in using that rod, and she can probably keep us at bay while getting ready to use her ability on us."
