The group of them all stood silently, looking at each-other as the tension surged. No-one wanted to make the first move and put themselves at a potential combat disadvantage.
After all, there was still hundreds of students out there remaining to Hunt once this battle was completed, and everyone wanted to win, and go clean up the rest.
The tension remained, all the way until a single leaf fell from above. Just before it touched the ground, chaos erupted.
~BOOOOOOM!~
Zeus was the first to move, launching himself like a meteor toward William's nobles, his Battle Axe in his arms.
Lucian mirrored him, vanishing in a streak of silver, appearing beside Morgana with a slash aimed at her heart.
Miranda disappeared entirely, space twisting in her wake, reappearing behind Albedo with a flick of her wrist, her blade humming with Stellar Paradox, a time-wound spell that could force her opponent's body to rewind a second while their mind moved forward.
