The nicest thing about graduation, Bea thinks, is that in the brief window after breakfast and before the flames burn through, most of the mals are migrating down to the graduation hall. So it's possible to let one's guard down slightly more than usual and not feel too bad about it. And if you go two to a room instead of separately to wait for the cleansing to finish... it's not like curfew's being enforced.
"Mostly mild habit ways? Like I was watching my mana still, which I don't really need to do for these runs."
" - Fair. Getting into better habits there is also why we're doing these runs."
El is not going to say that she's pretty sure she could punch through the obstacle course enchantments if she really tried. That wouldn't help.
Especially since they kinda need the obstacle course for practice. Or at least other people in the school do.
They'll work on holding back a bit less, then. Maybe just not all the way.
Anyways.
Full debrief time? (More than just 'oh holy shit' and 'okay Lu and El should hold back less next time.')
The run was pretty chaotic - it showed that they're unfamiliar with each other - but it was technically her second run, and she noticed things this time she didn't before...
Yeah - though they need to coordinate more, especially everyone who isn't able to hold their own... Things got past the Higgins' alliance, and there were some other close calls, and they're currently at high risk of a cascading failure if one of the sisters gets distracted helping someone who just - trips or something.
They should go do a few dry runs though, speaking of practice...
