Bonnie took some time to regain her footing on the ground and steady out, be which time Nessie had already moved on. [color=a55fb8]"Eh? That's it?"[/color] She stared in confusion at the mecha monstrosity's ease of disintegration. [color=a55fb8]"I guess that was like, four of us attacking at the same time? I thought it was supposed to be all of us."[/color]

Then came Valeria's assessment, and Lilac's brow furrowed. [color=a55fb8]"That's not how this is supposed to work. It's supposed to not work the first time, and then the failure teaches us to do all the stuff you're talking bout now, right? This would make a terrible story moral! Don't do the stuff that worked fine?"[/color] One of the few things that seemed able to get Lilac worked up was when the magical girl stuff wasn't working out like it was 'supposed' to. [color=a55fb8]"Unless like, this is the moment of hubris and a giant super Pageless only defeatable by teamwork shows up later?"[/color] She paused for a moment, and then bounced up to the edge of the arena and peered over it to double check, just in case. Glancing back and forth, she was not quick to find any giant Pageless sneaking up on the school.

Lilac crossed her arms, a little upset at another team thing so soon after the other one... [color=a55fb8]"I suppose team names and attacks are fun..."[/color] Lilac begrudgingly admitted, and finally lightened up a bit again, now starting to feel a little silly over being upset. Hopefully no one had been paying attention to her since she hadn't been talking to anyone in particular.

As Lilac started looking around again, she noticed a couple of new faces... since when did they have a cute doggo girl? Was she someone's familiar like Rose's friend or a magical girl? Eh, either way, Lilac decided to wave to the newcomers, before thinking more about partners.

It seemed like while she was focusing on other things, Lilac missed the talk about becoming closer to one's Grimoire, but, just as well, it seemed quite a few people were following that path already. Oddly enough it was Tesni who caught Lilac's ear.

Huh, Tesni seemed to make a little sense, wait what was that about weakness? Why would someone want to be weak? Lilac didn't seem to get that. She decided to walk closer, her earlier hesitance forgotten in curiousity, and perhaps a spirit of camaraderie over unsatisfaction with the battle. [color=a55fb8]"Um, I'm not sure I get that. Are you saying like, being the strongest would be boring because you don't have room to improve?"[/color] Lilac tried explaining what she thought Tesni said as a way to hopefully get correction on what Tesni meant.
