As the spar between Rio and Rebecca started, nearby students started watching them and whispers spread through the training grounds like wildfire.
"Are those two fighting?"
"Why would they fight? They're probably sparring with each other."
"Is that allowed?"
"Well, the professor did say to do whatever you want."
Soon enough their match attracted the attention of everyone. Students who had been diligently practicing turned their focus towards the first spar happening before them.
Rebecca, noticing the growing crowd, remarked, "The crowd's gathering around us now."
Rio grinned and replied, "Then let's give them a show," as he hurled mana bullets towards her.
*WATERWALL* Rebecca said, and at her command a wall of water formed around her which blocked the water bullets. She then made a sword out of water and slashed at him.
"I thought we agreed to keep it at basic spells," Rio chided, after forming an ice sword to counter her.
