Fen paused, then her grip on her halberd tightened slightly.

"I'm glad you asked," she said, not without a mild hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Since we're indoors and we don't want to have to pay property damages, the combat will be confined to no ammunition, stage only, and we'll stop either when one person surrenders, Team RASB gets here, or when one fighter is down to 70 percent Aura. And normally this goes without saying but... no bloodshed, okay? It's just a warmup match to get into the zone for a real team fight."

She paused and gave her polearm a few experimental twirls before settling it across her right shoulder. She glanced at Platinum.

"Or at least that's what they said earlier, but... I realized I've never actually faced off against you."

Fen turned to Platinum.

"You and I have practiced with Resper's group before, so it's nothing new for us. I'm actually more interested in taking on a new opponent."

Platinum narrowed her eyes. "What do you want to say, Fen?"

"If Cyzarine is okay with it," she turned and gave the girl a look before continuing, "could we maybe take this one on one fight outside where we can duke it out for real? Obviously we'll stop before anyone gets hurt, but I just don't think I can really test myself when there's so many limiters caused by our location."

Platinum hesitated. Fen wasn't normally eager for fights, but it seemed like she wanted to settle something with Cyzarine. What she was concerned about about was the young soldier possibly going too far and maiming her friend. After a long pause, she sighed.

"I'll text Respersio and let him know where he can find us. But I don't want you guys to start until they've gotten here, just because I don't want any casualties". The more students around to prevent Cyzarine from going too far, the better. "If someone's Aura goes down, I don't care where the fight's going, it ends, alright? I'll step in to make sure you guys comply with that."

Fen saluted with a cheeky grin on her face. "Roger that, boss." Her motivation was simple: she was going to find out if she could defend herself properly against one of the Bluthardts, partially to understand her own fighting level but also to make sure she could fight if they ended up on opposite sides of the war, so to speak. It had certainly been a while since she'd gone all out, being normally uninterested in that sort of thing.

(if you're okay with this mild plot twist, feel free to timeskip to some open area around Beacon for the fight to start!)
