Zenovia folded her arms, equally curious.
She knew Elion was powerful, but most of what she knew came from the trial, where he had been forced to do nothing but defend when they were up against Asmodeus.
Yaana leaned forward excitedly.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Elion," Mira answered without hesitation.
Zenith nodded in agreement
"Hubby."
Zenovia glanced towards them.
"You answered quickly."
"Because there is nothing to consider," Zenith replied.
Her voice was cheerful and completely sincere.
Mayumi could not hear the exchange through the barrier, but the confidence displayed by Elion's companions did not escape her notice.
She tightened her grip around her sword and lowered her centre of gravity while holding the hilt of her sword with both hands, the pointed end of the sword facing upward in a slant toward Elion, one foot in front of the other.
Marilyn looked between the two fighters.
"Begin."
Mayumi moved the instant the word left her mouth.
