"Of course, I won't mind a minute of down time to prepare." Sol said grinning. He spent a brief moment considering Ryan's idea, he didn't like it. Chase specialized in breaking everything and anything, going at her with the hopes of landing a single powerful attack was unlikely to work. The way to go about was an overwhelming amount of constant attacks giving no chance to go on the offensive; Meruin was probably their best shot at this in his opinion. While the idea of keeping her mobile was a good one Chase no doubt had more than enough experience casting on the move. Figuring he had more than enough time, he quickly warped back to the entrance of the school leaving his schoolmates to their own devices and wondering what exactly the purpose was of the box Liz had given him was.

 No matter he would figure it out if the time came, now though was very important to get as much preparation as he could. First he forcibly grabbed a hold of time in the area, much easier actually since they were already in a distorted area, and made it run slower much slower. That should buy him a considerable more amount of time, after all Chase had never said how [i]long[/i] the minute was. Then he set to creating runes, hundreds of runes around the area, there was no point in holding back. He set proximity runes, tracking runes, escape runes, time runes, everything he could possibly think of. By the time he was finished the entire school was covered in runes that he could activate at any time, since he didn't know how much moving Chase would be doing he had to cover everywhere. Of course that meant he was starting the fight already a little tired from all the expended energy but in the end it should be worth.
