Xiao held her flask of water in hand, refilled and heavy. Once the bell rung, she stepped inside the dome.
This time, she recognized her opponent; the strawberry blonde girl standing inside the dome is Abigail, a frequent library visitor like the young witch herself. They talked once last season, and they kept to themselves even though a few of their classes align.
"You too?" Abigail pointed at her thick book, a notebook definitely, and then she pointed at Xiao's weapon.
The young witch nodded. "I was drinking water."
"I was noting down the professor's name, so he took my pen."
Ooof, she had it worse.
"Now what?" Abigail asked. "All I did was defend myself."
Xiao shrugged. "I can't afford to lose. Do you mind yielding?"
