Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Cecil stepped up onto the stage, and everyone immediately recognised her as the ice princess of this academy. The usual haughty and glacial mien of hers made it hard for others to approach her, either disliking her or cautious of her.

Her opponent, Yan, was twenty years old as well, the same age as her and Hana. Seeing his opponent is a beautiful woman, and the ice princess on top of that, Yan smirked.

"Pleased to meet your acquaintance, Cecil Lan."

"Pleased to meet your acquaintance, Yan."

It was a fire and earth elemental battle. Unlike the other elements, it wasn't required for those of the fire element to use a weapon, since their fire itself was already potent.

"Ladies first."

Cecil remained indifferent.

She curled her fingers upwards, and a small rock flew out from her robes. Cecil was also known around the academy for her odd choice of weapon, despite being a skilled fighter.

Kai watched her reveal her weapon with a happy, toothy grin.
