On our way downstairs we find Betty with Elder Ye and the Fox Spirit Alice.
"Are you all coming to cheer our disciples on? There's Karl plus one more in Group A fighting today. I think we've got some Alchemists in Group A too, but I'm in Group B."
"We thought we'd go watch the fights. Alice was interested to see Uncle Karl fight, and she says she's got some ideas for him." Betty informs me in a proud voice. I can see that Karl and Alice are both very into whatever topic they are talking about. It's a mental communication, but they're both using large, expressive gestures to get their points across and smiling. That can't bode well for whoever Karl is fighting.
