third person P.O.V
The moment after the generals announcement,the battle begun. Trinity was about to set herself up for the combat... Until.
"Wait!" Mona shouted while clapping her hands together, startling Trinity in the process. Though Trinity just shifted back to her calm and usual position. "I would like to apologize for my teammate's rude behaviour from before... Towards your team, it was wrong and I hope you see it in your heart to accept my apology."s
General's P.O.V
'what is this... A sudden act of kindness... During a battle... I see, could this be a strategy of hers?' I thought, trying to analyze the scene before him on the screen. Even the people around him were startled by this sudden occurrence.
--At the 1st representative waiting room--
Author's P.O.V
"what is she doing? Is She trying to disgrace our academy?!" Gel cried out while observing her teammate's sudden actions. "This is unacceptable!"
"I'll have to agree on that, what is she up to?" Paul questioned with a burning gaze at the screen. He then turned his gaze to Lance, who was currently meditating as his body was glowing dark blue, while Cron was beside him still staring at his broken hammer in pure shock. "what do you think senior Lance... What is she planning?"
Lance stopped for some seconds and stared at the screen with a disgusted face, as he squinted his eyes and turned away, resuming back to his meditation... But only said one word... "...snake..."
Back at the arena.
Mona remained quiet, waiting for a response from Trinity, who was about to speak out and respond... But then suddenly stopped in the process and gave a gentle smile. "....i see... Of course, I have to... What kind of nun would I be"
"yes... You have to find it in your heart to forgive them, as a nun just as you said... Sister" Mona said with a small smile... But Trinity just kept on smiling... Causing Mona to feel... Unsettled...
"... I've seen enough..." Trinity said with her usual smile and started to raise her right palm towards Mona... And then suddenly her once kind eyes... Became cold as ice. "....you are disgusting."
"h-huh," Mona let out with a confused look on her face, as a sudden blast shot out of Trinity's hand and became a huge orb of mana, coloured aqua blue. The blast made contact with Mona and this triggered a sudden shockwave.
"...if there's one animal I despise... It's always a snake." Trinity called out with her usual smile, as the smoke gradually started to clear and reveal... Mona with a sinister smile on her face, as her arms were crossed out before her in an x-shaped defence. But something seemed to be covering her body, as this was an ash-coloured Roman-style armour, with the fur on top glowing a sinister reddish colour that came off like smoke. "...and it seems... I'm in front of one... Isn't that right... De Montfort."
"sigh... I thought I could get you to ease up on me since it's clear that you're even stronger than Lance... But trust me... I'm gonna rip you to shreds regardless." Mona spoke out with a tone of voice very different from the one she had from the very beginning, as the one before was a soft and meek voice... But now, it sounds more like an insane mature woman. "... And besides I'm not the only snake here... Hashima... You can't throw me off with that meek attitude of yours...I recognize darkness when see it, You're even a worse monster than me...
"Hmmm... I see, just please grant me this one request." Trinity called out and started to point her finger at Mona, who just stood there with a confused look on her face, due to the sudden request from Trinity.
"hehe, already rethinking the outcome of this match..." Mona roared out and went into a relaxed position, still maintaining her armour around her. Trinity's eyes started to glow pure aqua blue and her smile became more... Soft... And too meek. "what is this your request, hashima."
"....please... Don't die." Trinity said as Mona started to feel an insane amount of bloodlust from Trinity. Before she knew it, hundreds of small glowing orbs started to appear around Mona. "magic technique: full concentration"
"tears from heaven."
In an instant, all the orbs started to follow Mona, who was trying to escape all the projectiles, but apparently, all of them followed her like a heat-seeking missile.
'damn it, they're still following me, or maybe.' Mona quickly thought of a plan and jumped up high into the air, she summoned a large sword that resembled that of a knight's double-edged sword, and swung it at one of the orbs, sending out a wind strike that tore through it and triggering a large explosion. 'that power from that blast is strong... Getting hit by any of those could spell trouble-.'
Mona's thoughts were cut short by a series of orbs launching at her, She thought that they were all destroyed by that single trigger explosion from the one she cut through.
However as the smoke and dust cleared, it revealed Mona holding out a gigantic shield that had a cross on it. The shield was shattered in black smoke and dust and her armour with different cracks and dents, as it started to dematerialize into smoke... Revealing Mona with a dip of blood gushing from her head, over the left eye. As she descended and started to summon a katana blade that grew white, after fully materializing it, she immediately got into a charging position and busted out towards Trinity; who now wore a cold stare but a soft smile.
"weapon technique: total concentration!"
"blizts hit!" Mona chanted and launched out several wind slices with her newly formed weapon and as Trinity dodged it all in almost an instant, the attacks struck the wall behind her... But then suddenly... Those attack crates on the wall started to grow a smoky orange as if it was about to explode. But by that time Mona reached in front of Trinity, ready to strike her, while cornering her close to the incoming blast. "EAT THIS! AFTER SHOCK!"
Mona roared out, about to swing her sword towards Trinity's head... Until Trinity caught Mona's gaze and glared hard, casting out. "Stone heart!"
The ground below them both curled up and swallowed them both into a ball ultimately blocking out the incoming outside explosion, but as the stone ball was about to hit the ground, a simultaneous cut and blast from each side of the ball shattered it to reveal both trinity and mona breaking out at once.
Immediately both of them landed, they turned at each other and cast out.
"weapon technique: infusion!"
"crimson blade!" Mona launched a red-coloured mana slash in Trinity's direction, as the attack was destroying everything in its path. But Trinity calmly raised her hands and calmly said.
"sacred technique: looking mirror." A sudden energy erupted from the ground and appeared floating in the air, as it started to become a reflective surface. And just as Mona's attack made an impact on the surface, the blast was duplicated and sent forth towards Mona, who was first shocked by this... But then began to smile. The blast struck her, and a series of explosions took place... But something seemed to be wrong... As a sudden burst of laughter filled the arena, getting Trinity's utmost attention.
"This fight is truly amazing... Though I'm already pissed off that you're not even going full out... Don't look down on me sister!" Mona roared out in a rage-filled voice that came off as insane, but as the smoke cleared, it revealed that her armour was now glowing red and had started to shapeshift into a dark knight kind of armour with red strips of mana representing veins around the armour. "I'll show you!"
"sacred technique: Dark vain!" Mona casts out, releasing a burst of red mana that consumed the whole terrain... Dying it dark red. But still, Trinity just kept cool and smiled. "let me show you the true power of the de Montfort bloodline!"
Mona launched out towards Trinity at an instantaneous speed that felt unreal, after appearing at the other end, some strands of Trinity's hair fell out... Flowing through the wind, Mona smirked at this and turned back at Trinity. "are you ready to take this seriously hashima!"
"... I see... Quite impressive, I would like to see more of this so-called de Montford power a little more... I won't want to cut it short, now would I" Trinity spoke out turning around to face Mona... But something was different... Her smile... It was starting to feel... Off. "so... Come"
Mona launched again at Trinity with a vexed expression on her face, but Trinity stretched out her hands and started to summon a torrent of flames towards Mona, who just rushed through it and wanted to land a strike at Trinity... But something was wrong... These flames were not ordinary fire... Instead, they didn't go off or disappear after release... They just stocked to her body like a slimy substance and this resulted in the heat remaining on them and therefore resulting in the armour getting heated up.
'damn it... Just what in the hell is this... The armour is constantly getting heated up and weaker... I've not seen this kind of magic before... Just who in the hell is she?' Mona tried to comprehend, as she then clashed with Trinity's conjured-up shield that separated her from Mona. They were both close up, face to face with Mona with an angry expression and Trinity still with her soft smile but glaring eyes.
