Air Blade was the most-used spell, followed closely by Fireball. However, neither had much effect—only managing to graze the ball or scorch its outer layer of fur. The metal core of the ball was strangely flexible yet tough, a combination that baffled Damian. More than the Highsword organization's power levels, what surprised him were the unique alloys they used. Their armor was crafted from an unfamiliar mixture of metals, and now, this ball also demonstrated their mastery of unconventional materials.

One by one, kids took their turns, giving their best efforts to shoot down the ball, incinerate it, or cleave it in two with Aura Blade slashes. The last approach was rare, as only the older kids dared attempt it. Yet, despite the barrage of blades and fireballs, not a single participant managed to cut the target in half or completely destroy it. The highest score so far was 51.
