It was a new day for the girls as when they got back to the room, they relaxed the rest of the day. They fell asleep that night in their separate rooms with Nia being in between both Rose and Luna like every other night.
The trial for the Lust candidates were today and Nia was slightly nervous because she wanted to show not just Rose and Luna her progress but also Elaine, Cassandra, and Naomi.
Like the day before only the sin candidates for the trial going on today would be placed on one end of the stands and the other end was filled the everyone else.
Nia separated from the group after saying that she'll see them later.
"Make sure to Win Nia!" Rose and Luna said excitedly.
As everyone was waiting for the start of the trial Nora thought back to what Elaine told her and the other Sins about Nia after the Envy trial was over.
"Oh that's right. Nora when you announce Nia's turn to fight make sure you use the name Ravinia or Raven. Okay?" Elaine said
"Why?" Nora asked confused why Elaine wants her to do that.
"Because her name is Ravinia and is only called Nia by who she considers close to herself. When I called her Nia for the first time her face grew cold to the point I thought she was another person. She attacked me relentlessly without stopping until she passed out from exhaustion. Anytime I called her Nia after that before we got close enough for her to let me call her that it was like she was possessed everything about her changed fighting style, temperament, and so on." Elaine said to make sure that Nora did not call her Nia when it was her turn to fight.
This caught the interest of the other Sins and Nora pulled up on her Holo the list of Lust candidates to decide who was going to fight Nia. After a minute of searching she found the perfect person to put against Nia.
Nora stepped up to announce the start of the trial, "Everyone is here so I will now start the trial with the first fight being between Mary and Ravinia!"
Nia was shocked that she was going to be the first fight of the day but nonetheless got up to the arena with a smile. The whole crowed was silent seeing her smile and it was only when Elaine cheered that everyone woke up from their daze.
"GOOO NIA!!!" Elaine shouted causing Nia to get embarrassed.
Even embarrassed Nia charmed the crowd. Both Nia and Mary stood opposite of each other waiting for the fight to start.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"...Fight!!!"
Nora started the fight. They both pulled out their weapons Nia with her gauntlets and Mary with a spear. Neither of them rushed each other waiting for the other to start. After a few seconds of neither of them rushing the other Mary finally opened her mouth.
"So you go by Nia? Well I would say lets have a good fight, but It won't be much of a fight since I'll end it quickly. Okay Nia?" Mary taunting Nia with an arrogant smile plastered on her face.
"Raven" Her voice was so icy cold that some of the audience felt a shiver down their spines.
"Huh?" Mary asked confused
As Raven rushed to her opponent, Mary stabbed her spear forward only for it to be caught with one hand.
"What?!"
Mary's eyes widened as she tried to pull her spear back but couldn't. Raven put one of her gauntlets back as she pulled a gun that looks similar to a desert eagle out and pointed it at Mary's head.
With a gun pointed at her head Mary let go of her spear as she tried to get some distance from Raven, only to find that a pressure pushing down on her slowing down her movements so she wasn't at full speed. Marry thought that she could maybe move a quarter of her top speed.
*Bang*
When Raven was about to shoot Mary let her body fall with the increased pressure causing the bullet to miss completely.
Mary used the moment after the gun was shot to kick out with her strength as she felt the pressure decrease the further away she was from Raven. When she was out of range from the pressure with a wave of her hand her spear that she let go of before appeared back in her hand.
Raven raised her eyebrow seeing this as some of the crowd was amazed when Marry explained her affinity.
"Since it is clear that you have some skill, lets do this right." Mary hit the bud of her spear against the ground as she said, "My name is Marry and my affinity is Space lets have a good fight!"
Raven lifted her gun in the air as she fired five bullets to the sky.
*Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang*
"My name is Raven and my affinities are Gravity and Vibration and this fight... is already over."
As Raven said this the shots she fired before came barreling down one in each arm and leg with the fifth bullet hitting her head before she falls over leaving the crowd in silence. When Mary was still in Raven's gravity field she placed what she calls gravity markers on Mary's body. Gravity Markers are marks that she creates to allow her bullets to home in on those specific spots, but because of her only being in the Ascendant Rank she needs to use the planets gravity to increase the speed of the bullets as the gravity marks guide them.
With the battle over Raven leaves the stage and goes back to her room without the others.
The next day was Naomi's fight but she ended it quickly with her illusions since her opponent was still in the Mortal Rank.
