Meruin shivered in excitement. Outwardly, she was quite mellow and seemed to be more interested in research rather than combat, however that was far from the truth. Meruin was someone who [i]loved[/i] the thrill of the fight, and relished in its experience. It was only because of her definition of combat that prevented her from being serious. There were some qualifications to be met before she could consider something a 'serious' fight and act accordingly. Such a situation was now.

Against Chase, nothing but preforming beyond her best would suffice.

The golden witch swept her eyes across her opponents. Young talents, all of them, but untempered as of yet. Each of them had very little in the fine art of restraint, even Meruin. A useful attitude to have now, as they were in their youth, but dangerous in the future. Chase would see if she could cultivate that same attitude into them. 

With a grin, the golden witch floated off the ground, and gave Reina a look. [color=gold]"Well, they're worried about the destruction of their school. Want to do something about it, Reina?"[/color]

The silver haired witch shook her head in exasperation, before flicking her wrist and snapping a slender finger. 

A huge magic circle, larger than the island of the school itself, flared to life and engulfed the small landmass. With a whisper of a single word, the world became silver-ish in color, and all signs of life except for Reina, Chase, and her opponents disappeared. 

[color=gold]"No need to bother with those bracelets of yours, although I must say they [i]are[/i] rather well made. I might want to speak with the makers. Anyway, as you can see, Reina has created a whole new space-and-time for us to fight to our hearts content. Now, I will wait by the entrance of the school and give you a single minute to plan before we start, unless . . . you would rather we begin now? By all means, go ahead and do so; I'm feeling rather impatient myself."[/color]

Meruin turned to look at her schoolmates. "I vote that we take Lady Chase's offer."

She was seriously hoping the others would as well.
