Raviel bid farewell to both Alicia and Seleth after their registration to prepare. Well, "prepare" might be too strong of a word. It was more psyching himself up for the fight because he didn't know what to expect. All his matches before were things he had studied up for by watching others during their academy time. Now, he didn't know if he would be faced with an outsider so there was a whole heap of uncertainty that was in his heart that he felt only once - which was his first time participating. Though, at the same time, he was excited. New people to fight with and learn from! 

When he was summoned, he quickly leapt to his feet and headed for the arena. He saw some familiar faces there, some friends from back at the academy. Well, he didn't mind. Whether there was someone out there cheering for him or not, he wanted to have fun during the tournaments. His opponent was robed and hooded and he didn't see anything there - no weapon, no nothing. Guess he was just magically inclined. 

[color=a36209]"Hi there!"[/color] He greeted with a wave. He didn't care if that guy was out for blood or out for his skin, this was just a friendly competition. No need to get so serious. 

His ears twitched as the referee began speaking. Same old rules, same old story. At least that much didn't change. He made sure to dispel any blessings on him before the match... which he had to reapply during it. A shame right? But nevertheless, he listened well. Galmore and... invited fighter? Oh... Oh boy this will be interesting. As the match begun, Raviel's hands were already at work. He began to write his runic blessings one by one.

Enhanced Durability. Check.

Galmore was [i]buff.[/i] It was definitely not what he was expecting. So this'll be a physical fight? Well, he still wasn't sure. No telling with these outsiders. He'll just have to wait and see. He began writing the next rune as Galmore began to proceed forward.

Protection against magic. Check.

He kept his eyes on Galmore, waiting for him to do something while also slowly moving back as he continued to write his blessings. It was both a distraction, a bait and a foolish decision all rolled in one. But it never failed him. He still didn't know which third blessing he should put on him though. After all, he did't know what to counter against. Raviel waited for Galmore to make his first move.

Faye knew that there was something interesting brewing in Zauberheim when she got there, but the festivities of the outside made her chipper. She mingled with the people there before she went to Luminous Citadel. They were all excited to watch what would happen. They had an interesting lineup this year, after all, and they were just bystanders. They wouldn't be harmed. Faye couldn't deny that, at the very least. It was exciting when you're watching. But when you're there fighting to the top... let's just say it wasn't as fun as they made it out to be.

She soon entered Luminous Citadel and headed to the meeting room. She will visit Radiant Cathedral - her foster home - later. She wasn't sure if she was prepared to face her old comrades, her caretakers... or to face the possibility that they may have already passed on to Aylama's or Amalya's arms. The thought was depressing, but she coulnd't do anything about the nature of life. She dare not do anything to counter it. Playing God did not help anyone, after all.

Faye took a seat when she arrived and made one passing glance to everyone in the room. Tibrus Heathermann - she at least knew who Zauberheim's Head Architect was even if he had taken the name after she left Zauberheim. She'd be a fool to not be caught up in the affairs of her hometown even if she was hesitant to come back. There was this other person who she didn't know or hear about. Interesting.

Athos came to them and joined them on the table. Faye remembered when he was... younger. But of course that was the case, she had been gone for a long time now. He'd been a professor at Seraph Academy so she knew him well. As a professor at least. But she didn't care about that now. It looks like there is some sort of problem if they called her back here. And there it was. She had no intentions of letting King Reindhart down.

[color=aba000]"I would also like to question these Arcknights. Surely, for them to have suspicions, there are people they actually suspect of doing so. Or at least some clues."[/color] Faye said with a raise of her hand. She caught her habit and placed it back down on the table, hoping no one noticed that or would give attention to that. Being in the presence of her previous teacher sure did ease her back into being a student. [color=aba000]"And can we enter any place in the tournament area?"[/color]
