" So the first performance will be about magical combat. Which of you is going?" Elivian asked, pointing a fork with a piece of savory pie towards the four.
"Is it a graduate student specialized in melee combat, right, Professor?" Edward asked, receiving confirmation with a nod from her.
"His name is Niyan, an Orc who has great confidence in his axes," Elivian said, putting a piece of savory pie into her mouth in one go. "Mmm, this melts in your mouth."
"I, I, I'm gonna crush him, hahaha!" Mine said, raising her right fist enthusiastically.
"Denied," Edward and Amelin said almost simultaneously.
"No way, shorty," Silian said.
Elivian pointed the fork at Mine, who seemed about to say something, and continued speaking before her. "Your work is good, of course. You'll use your phoenix to shatter the dreams of a cocky orc."
