Meruin was probably going to get a migraine from dealing with these two - it hadn't happened yet, but she was sure it was going to happen. 

Deus seemed to be mistaken about the reasoning behind her ability, but that was fine; a true magi never reveals her mysteries, after all. It was the secret behind the spell that gave it power, and the less of a secret it was, the less powerful it would be.

"I care not for what she's done before, Deus; the fact of the matter is that she is here now, and she will abide by the rules set in place for all of us. I don't want to make a habit of repeating myself, but I will do so for you to understand: This. Is. A. School. It is not your personal ring where you can kill as you wish. The same goes for Cornelia, however you were much closer in your efforts."

The short mage shook her head. She was [i]really[/i] talking a lot today. Perhaps next time she would marshal a team fight rather than participate. 

"I know my own limits, Deus. Talking about cause and effect is circular logic when it comes to magic - but that is a discussion for another time."

Meruin peered at Cornelia behind her. It seemed she'd yet to break out of the illusion placed upon her. No matter - nothing mattered as long as Hazy Moon existed.
