Luis blinked slowly.
"That's… Aurelia?"
"Yeah, did you forget how she looks?" Lumine asked.
"No, it's just that she has changed a lot."
"True."
"So, how did they clash?"
"Nothing much, Aurelia just arrived half an hour ago. I helped them introduce each other, then suggested they bond over a spar."
"…As expected of you, Mom." Luis was speechless.

BOOM!
A violent column of compressed air crashed down from above. The downburst shattered several ice spikes and forced Alicia to retreat midair to stabilise herself.
