Arriving in the battle room with everyone here, Ms. Colorful told all of us to sit on the bench on the side of the room.

"To decide who you will be going against, please stand in line, and I will pair you in groups of twenty. Does anybody have any questions?" Before we decided who we would fight, Ms. Colorful wanted to know if anybody had any questions.

I then looked at Olivia, but she was too nervous about speaking. Being the helpful person I\'m, I did it in her stead. Raising my hand, Ms. Colorful looked at me. "Yes, what is your question?"

"My friend here doesn\'t have magic that makes any harmful magical attack. Could she drop out for this event?" Olivia had no need for this fight. It was apparent she would lose without any way to defend herself.

"Is that so? Does anybody else have magic that doesn\'t cause any harm?" Since Avaris is a country that is proud of its firepower, they probably haven\'t had students that had no attacks to support them.

Seeing no one but Olivia had any way to attack, I took this chance. "Ms. Colorful, since it would be uneven if my friend left, do you mind if I also stayed out of the fight?" Heh, now I didn\'t have to fight, even if I attracted some attention, but with this, I could scout everyone out.

"Very well." And with that, the two of us stayed out of the fight.

"Everyone, please stand in a straight line. You and you will fight." She paired an exchange student with a school student, pointing at the students. There was a pair of student extra, so she let them fight.

What the teacher did was intentional. She wanted to set up a fight between the exchange student. "The first two I called, go to the battle arena and fight. Introduce yourselves before you fight."

The first two students have to walk to the arena. The beastmen who was called first was a squirrel variant. It is evident by way of her tall brown bushy tail. And her opponent was an elf with long silver hair and long ears.

"Adeline from Avaris," The squirrel girl introduced herself.

"Sonya from Evergreen Forest," Sonya the elf gave her name, and the fight commenced.

Adeline made the first move and ran toward Sonya. I didn\'t know what Adeline had in plan, but it seemed like she planned physically fight Sonya.

Sonya was perplexed, she probably had never fought someone running up to her, but without any delay, she shot an arrow infused with mana toward her. I didn\'t know what her magic was, but something had happened.

Adeline used a clone as a meatshield. Did her magic allow her to make a clone? Or was it something entirely different? Either way, it was extremely useful in any situation.

What was the limit of her magic? I didn\'t know. I could only observe how she would fight. Sonya, the elf, was surprised to see two Adelines. With one blocking them, she prepared a barrage of arrows.

Like before, Sonya summoned another clone and used its body as a shield. The arrows couldn\'t completely pierce through the clone\'s body, making the arrows stuck to the clone.

Adeline was already close to Sonya. She was already a few steps away from getting to Sonya\'s melee range.

Sonya, who clicked her tongue, mana\'s suddenly rose sharply. She was holding back from the earlier exchange.

Feeling the mana around Sonya grow stronger, Adeline\'s eyes slightly sharpened, readying for the upcoming attack. Now that I think about it, why doesn\'t Adeline use her clone to charge at her? Was there a condition upon using it?

Sonya used an empowered arrow toward Adeline, building up mana in an arrow. Feeling the power, Adeline was worried about the upcoming attack.

Within the next few steps, Sonya used her arrow against Adeline. Sonya tried to use a clone to block the strengthened arrow.

The arrow landed, breaking the clone into pieces shattering like glass. The squirrel girl who had her clone shattered made a metal appear out of nowhere to block it.

Adeline\'s metal wall was bent, and the impact had pushed her back, landing on the ground. Adeline\'s magic wasn\'t cloning. It was more like a substitution. That would explain why she wouldn\'t summon more clones for an offensive maneuver.

This last fight for a minute is currently in Sonya\'s favor. Even with Adeline substituting everything to block all of Sonya\'s attacks, she wasn\'t able to reach near the elf\'s range.

Adeline was looking stressed out. While her magic was good, I don\'t think it would help her more in this situation. From what she had already done, it seems pretty taxing to use these substitutions to block the upcoming attacks.

"I surrender." Adeline raised her hand, telling everyone that she had given up.

The teacher looked pretty displeased by how this fight ended. If the teacher wanted to see the other student\'s abilities to a full extent, I would see why she would be annoyed by the outcome.

While the fight isn\'t highly eye-catching, it raised the importance of Sonya\'s evaluation of other students. I still didn\'t know what her magic was, but it could pack a punch on some of these people.

This was still the first fight, I didn\'t know how this could be compared to the rest, but it was noteworthy to see how the others would fight.

After finishing a bit of my analysis, I asked Olivia a question. "How well do you think they would be compared to the others?" It was good for me to ask the opinion of someone more normal.

Olivia was sitting here like a baby. There were a few glances over, looking at Olivia. If they think Olivia is easy picking, I would need to stay with her all day. I wouldn\'t want someone to pick on her.

"Olivia, if you\'re nervous that someone would bully you, just stick with me. I will protect you." I muttered quietly, only for her to hear these words. Olivia relaxed for a bit and began to tell me her thoughts.
