As Nox responded to her, she was humming to herself with Scarlet Vermillion's theme song. She heard him, but she was pretending not to hear him in order to gauge his reactions. So far in his case, he was exactly like the stereotypical dark brooding guy who barely spoke much.

As expected, he acts really cool and slick when it comes to these 'situations...Every person has a trigger that will set them off...I 'wonder what'll set his?

She noticed that he had chosen his character, and decided to focus more on the game as a result, for her reputation as Video Game Extraordinaire was on the line every single time she fought. Her philosophy of valuing every life added to the pressure she was receiving, as she didn't want to lose her life even in game.

She immediately noticed all of the damage that her character had taken, and how up-close her opponent was, so she decided to show him the video game logic that had sustained her career over many years.

''He probably thinks that because my character is simply using guns, she must be weak to close range combat, right? Well, while that makes sense in real life, there's only one problem there...''

She pressed a couple of buttons on her controller, and Scarlet simply whacked at the dashing Nox in alternating low and high strikes with her guns.

''...Her guns are rather blunt, not to mention magical, so she's still decent in close combat anyways if the attacks connect to begin with. A game wouldn't be balanced if she got destroyed way too easily just because of the distance afterall...While this game relies on statistics a bit, it's more about the combos. And Scarlet is easily one of the hardest characters to chain combos with due to the nature of her weapons...Compared to Nox of course. Nox is like the Dante of gaming...He has all these weapons to chain combos with...''

She looked over at her opponent's gauge, and saw that he still had more health than her even with the multiple strikes before smiling a bit, enjoying the thought of how intense.

''His logic is quite good. It's just that inexperience with the game that's holding him back...Thanks to that, I can out-play him on reactions and gameplay features. In the actual battlefield, that would be anybody's game there, since there's also outside factors to consider there...Maybe I'll sit back for a bit to see how much he matures in this...alternate world.''
