Meruin nodded as they went off and returned to her room. She looked at her Grimoire longingly. "Perhaps this is what I need to do in order for it to progress," she mumbled to herself. Fighting was not her thing, but her old master always stressed that (her) magic must be able to accomplish anything. She sighed and looked at all the books lined up on her shelf. She picked out a few and began taking out vials with glowing liquids inside them.

She wondered what else she would need. She hesitantly looked at her staff, but decided against it. She would bring that out once she decided she was actually serious about becoming a fighter. After preparing all of her items, she headed to the gym, where Sol and Tyler were waiting.

She'd chosen the gym because it was an area that she'd already inscribed with one of her Greater Rituals. If things went bad, this would be the first time she could use it.
