Before anything else could happen, a rumbling could be felt coming from the floor of the cavern. Suddenly stone large walls erupted from the ground, closing off everyone into individual arena squares with walls 20 feet high. All the arena squares formed a larger square together, each of the 4 quadrant squares were 50x50 feet, making the arena as a whole 100x100 or 10000 square feet.  

Raiya looked up out of arena she was in to see Thadeus up on a stone outcrop far above everyone, that he had turned into a makeshift skybox. Raiya reached down and grabbed a fist sized rock that she then hurled in Thadeus's direction. But as soon as it made it past the 20 feet tall arena square, it hit an invisible field with a sharp crackling noise, and was promptly sent back downwards with the same amount of force it was sent upwards.

Thadeus wagged his finger at Raiya

[color=aba000]"I have created these arena squares to make it much simpler for me to view the action, as well as to keep you all separated to your individual fights. It's all topped with a kinetic rejection field as well, we wouldn't want the possibility of spoiling the fun by pulling dirty tricks like changing fighting partners, or teaming up together, now would we?"[/color] Thadeus announced with a snide voice. He waved his hand materializing a bottle of Cabernet and a fine crystal glass. He then poured the red wine into the crystal glass, and sat back in his stone seat, [color=aba000]"Let the battles commence!"[/color] He shouted.

[color=0076a3]"Alright, sis, let's teach this apostate a lesson!"[/color] Dominick said confidently. He then materialized a thin metallic wand that was inscribed with runes in his right hand. 

Dawn, the female twin, nodded and took a combat stance. She then materialized a book and a pen, which Raiya raised an eyebrow at.

Raiya took the opportunity while they were summoning their items, to store her sword in her mana inventory along with her leader jacket and grey hoodie, and fetch a different weapon more suited to a fight with two enemies. 

She was now just in her black v-necked tanktop, with a long-sleeve fish-net shirt over the tanktop.

In a flash of electrical mana, a special weapon Raiya created herself, descended into her palms. The weapon looked more like two weapons than just one. It was two double edged daggers with 12 inch blades, connected together at the pommels by three feet of runic chains.

She took a combat stance, and held each dagger in each hand, extending them in front of her, and stretching the chain until it was taut. 

[color=ec008c]"biribiri no sokudo!"[/color] Raiya growled. An electrical aura overcoming her.

Dominick narrowed his eyes, then flicked his right wrist, [color=0076a3]AQUA SAGITTA!"[/color] Dominick shouted. From the tip of his wand, a thin incredibly fast projectile of water launched forth at Raiya.

[color=ec008c][i]He's trying to douse my electrical current with water. This kid's not that smart. All that will do is give me more to conduct through.[/i][/color] Raiya thought. 

She allowed the water shots to fly to her, and she cut them in half length wise, diffusing the blasts of water into droplets which covered her daggers, her clothes and boots. 

Dominick smirked, and flicked his wrist upwards, shouting, [color=0076a3]MUTARE![/color]

The water that covered Raiya instantly changed to thin stone which now covered her blades, her clothes, even some stuck to her face. 

She attempted to move but found her feet were rooted to the ground by the thin stone as well. 

[color=ec008c]"Tch!"[/color] Raiya let out a scoff. [color=ec008c]"I didn't expect a Mage to be able to transform their spell's attribute after releasing it. You two aren't normal Magi are you?"[/color]

Dominick smirked, [color=0076a3]"So you've figured it out right away? Yes, I suppose being Thadeus's proteges does have its perks. But if it you must know, we didn't want to advance in rank. But enough stalling. This fight is already over."[/color]

Dominick began to charge mana into his wand, preparing for a large spell.

[color=ec008c]"Oh, is that what you think?"[/color], Raiya smirked, [color=ec008c]"This fight is far from over! KAEN NO ORA!"[/color] Raiya shouted. Briefly a superheated red aura covered Raiya. The aura was finely tuned to be between her the rock and her clothing and skin. The heated aura protected her from heat as well as exuding an extreme amount of heat outwardly. It was one of the only defensive spells Raiya had any proficiency in. And she had specifically mastered it for this type of moment, to keep her from being immobilized. The thin stone melted into magma and slid off the aura onto the ground into red hot puddles.

As soon as she was free, she canceled the heat aura and launched herself out of the way just in time to dodge a massive fireball that flew from the tip of Dominick's wand. 

Dominick scoffed.

[color=ec008c]"Now it's time for me to show you what I can do."[/color] Raiya said, her eyes glowing dull grey.

[hr]

[color=8882be]"I've been briefed by Thadeus, though to be honest, I have never personally heard of you before this mission."[/color] Nevar sighed,[color=8882be]"I suppose we should get this over with then.[/color] Nevar said with a bit of reluctance in his voice.

Nevar reached his hand out in front of him, materializing a runic rapier out of a burst of black flame. 

He then placed his left hand on the ground, letting out a bit of mana into the spot he placed his hand on. Then he charged Nemo as fast as he could, which was little less than the blink of an eye, thrusting his Rapier at Nemo's torso.
