'What?' Thalia was caught in the crossfire between the sudden outburst of the visitor and Tiffany's defence against it. Until now, it seemed like things were going smoothly, maybe a bit too smoothly. Her gaze narrowed as Mila walked up to them, an aura of flames suffusing around her, and her expression cold. 'She looks dangerous.' She thought, her gaze drifting towards the visitors. Some were still there, led away from the fight scene by the others who were far ahead of them. 'It would have been better if Rebecca was still here....but..' She sighed, arranging her thoughts in order as she took a step forward, pulling Tiffany to her side. "Thalia?" She called out in surprise. "Call the others, and lead the visitors from here. It's obvious this woman is going to resort to violence soon." She glanced at Tiffany, a flicker of intent in her gaze as she did so. "Let's avoid any more complications so let me take care of this." "Oi!" Mila's voice pierced through their conversation, pulling their attention as the air warped, their gazes widening in their presence. For a second, it seemed like she had teleported, her presence disappearing from their presence only to resurface above them. Flames danced around her fists, dispersing in the air as she appeared above them, her fist descending like a guillotine. An explosion of flames occurred in the process, her movements quickly and precisely, with a blinding light exploding out. Her lips curled into a frantic smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement as time slowed down. Thalia's gaze drifted to hers, their gazes locking and her frown widening. She was not amused. With a surge of mana, she suddenly jumped into the air, grabbing Mila and pulling her into the air. An eruption of mana and power exuded from Thalia as she did so, jumping away from the range of Mila's fists within that fraction of a second. Mila raised a brow, her fists curling into the air with a powerful thrust, an air force exploding and startling the crowd. "Amusing!" Mila twirled her body while in the air, her flames forming spirals of ribbons around, erupting in power and brightness with each passing second. She aimed at Thalia, her flames shooting out like the ejection fuel of a rocket, fast and precise, without room for escape. Thalia groaned as she was pushed, wind suffusing around her and dispersing the flames as she sprung into the air with Tiffany. "Find them." She ordered as she spun and threw Tiffany forward. Tiffany nodded, air suffusing around her as she descended to the ground. Though, most of what had occurred had reached the visitors, and the student body in the process. Priorities remained, taking them to safety. Thus, Thalia was left to her devices. She was fine with that, after all, she never got enough opportunities to truly test herself. Her mana spiralled within her, exuding a purple mixture out of her body. "I don't know who you are, but you're messing with the wrong people." She stated, her hands pointed forward as the skies sparked with mana, like fireworks ready to ignite. Mila raised a brow, her wild expression turning cold. 'Just now....she was at 6th circle, wasn't she?' She wondered, her surprise palpable as the mana suffusing Thalia suddenly exploded exponentially. The sparks streaked through the skies, rumbling with intent. "7th Chapter of the Jun's Mage Arts." Her mana suffused through like steam, her gaze exuding an otherworldly hue as she pulled her arms to the sides. Lightning streaked through the skies in rugged thin arcs, her authority printed upon it. It ignited the skies in a purple hue, leaving Mila lost for words. Her thoughts reeled in, her confusion slowly easing away, and her smirk replacing the frown on her face. "I assumed the Swordsmen were the only threats within the Jun household." She laughed out loud in excitement. "Nice of you to prove me wrong." Her mana surged out, flames streaking to the skies in an unparalleled brightness. She threw her fist into the air, causing the flames to spread through it. They gathered around her fists, a brightening effect of fire and light occurring in the process, increasing ever so slightly. It grew linearly, reaching amounts in mere seconds, and soon, those flames began to spread to her arms, coating it in a surge of fiery power. "Transcendent Skill." Thalia ignored her words, controlling the phenomenon in the skies with much pre-determined focus. The rumbling continued as a purple Lightning took the shape of a dragon, bestial screams projecting against the world as she did so. "I don't care what you have to say about us. Just die." The streaks of lightning began to spark in her direction, bestial screams projecting its presence in the world. "Climax Burst." "Ignis Flame Arcs." The world reverberated as lilac and crimson red painted the canvas of the sky, pulling the attention of all those in the Academy. Students, Adults, Children, Staff, Important figures and the commoners, everyone was drawn to the brilliance in the sky. It erupted, a sonic erosion erupting as streaks of lightning transcended against the natural phenomenon, and curls of flames, taking shapes of arcs, streaked through the air. The flames were a brilliant colour of red, shading its presence upon the surface, as heat emitted upon the surface of the ground. The collision was massive, twirling and spiralling within itself as it exploded, the atmosphere crackling, thunder shuddering, the wind quaking, and the earth depressing into a crater from the force. The startled phenomenon caused all those who stared at it to look away, startled by the air draft emitted from it, blowing through the Academy and their gazes away. While this occurred, Raph and Nicho were still stuck in a tight spot. Either had not moved forward to attack first, as if wary of the other. The sudden explosion had only made things worse, the air draft reached those who were closer to the source of the explosion. The force would have picked them up, taking them through the air in the process. "Hah...that's my cue, you see." Nicho picked up Katherin and Wisdom, the crippling ice spreading towards him in the process. 'Should I be concerned he seems fine within my zone? This ice here should be powerful enough to freeze anyone.' Raph thought as he waved his sword through the air, an arc of ice forming in the process. "And I would let you?" He asked, his sarcasm dripped in his voice as he charged forward. The sudden outburst of movement alerted Nicho, his gaze pulled to the source, his smile widening. He kicked the hilt of his sword behind him, the blade sprung out of the hilt, his katana twirling in the air as it propelled towards Raph. Raphs brows furrowed, their swords clashing and a surge of power occurring as he backed off. He charged in again, and the sword spun, slamming itself on Raph's sword in the process and another eruption of power occurred. This time, he propelled himself forward, just as Nicho was about to retreat. "Everything is ice." He slammed his sword into the ground, a rumbling sensation spreading through as ice and snow mountains sprung out, striking Nicho in the process. "Glacier Spire." The force caused an airblast, his body slamming into the ground, a crater forming. Katherin and Wisdom slammed into the ground in the process, their screams of pain piercing the air. Raph jumped into the air, the air weaving against his body as he slammed into the crater where Nicho lay. His sword drifted in the air as he aimed it at Nicho's chest. A sudden drift of the air caused his gaze to widen in surprise, as a wall of ice sprung from the ground, his sword piercing into the man's chest and a loud explosion occurring behind him. Nicho's sword was lodged into the wall of ice, a large depression on the wall of ice as it crumbled to the ground. Raph raised a brow, his otherworldly gaze fixed on Nicho, who returned the same expression. "Stabbing my chest isn't enough to kill me." A sudden surge of the air occurred, the wind blasting Raph backwards and lifting Nicho from the ground. Raph slammed against the ice pillars, a slight groan escaping his lips. Nicho's katana drifted through the air as he grabbed it, swinging it across in a clean arc. A surge of power exuded from his body as his gaze narrowed, a blast of wind and earth occurring as he charged forward. Raph clicked his tongue as he sprung out, their swords colliding as it did so. 'Nicho, damn it! All that diversion and for what?! I'm ready to escape, so grab them.' 'Oh, my sweet Mila. How nice of you to do a sudden sound transmission when I'm so busy with an opponent.' 'Just go to your left; I'll open up a portal, so grab them both and let's get out of here.' 'Yes, Dear.' Raph's lips curled into a smirk as their clash continued, a crater forming as they descended down the field. Nicho tilted his head in confusion but, nonetheless, caused a sudden outburst of wind that picked up Raph and slammed him against the wall of the crater. At the same time, he had projected himself out of the crater, caused the wind to pick up Wisdom and Katherin and rushed into the air, just as instructed. He grabbed them by their collars, against their protest, when a streak of blue energy ascended behind him. The explosion of lilac and crimson was in the process of dying out, signs of Mila gone when a crimson portal opened in the mixture. Nicho spotted it easily and, with a satisfied smile, headed there with a sudden rush of mana and wind. 'Hah...these fools. In the end, we still got what we wan'– His gaze widened in shock as he felt a presence above him, his gaze drifting upwards in slow motion. 'Raffaelo Jun? How did he–?' Raffaelo appeared above him, his sword streaking down like a guillotine, his gaze fixated on the man and an otherworldly glow exuding from the depths of his eyes. "You're not going anywhere."
