This was a trial by combat. But even if this was a test she was wholly unprepared for, Alicia did not retreat. She just stood where she was after she entered the room, on the outer circle. She was surprised to hear Sa’Saori’s speculation on the test and the caution coming with it. Alicia admits that a certain level of caution was advised. But there was something as too much caution. The arena lit up, and a female voice rang out from the arena walls, announcing the parameters for combat. When the voice finished, the construct started moving slowly, advancing on the duo. Alicia narrowed her eyes as she started to think about what she should do now. But when she heard Adelhein’s comment, her eyes turned to a combination of annoyance and boredom. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"How incredible barbarian"[/I][/B][/COLOR] This was the first time Adelhein would hear Alicia’s voice [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"Asuming combat skill… Scholars have studied and mastered magic without having seen combat even once… “combat” is not what is being tested then"[/I][/B][/COLOR] Alicia looked up to the sky as if she was looking to something or someone. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"Combat is merely the situation, a state of chaos. A state unfamiliar to a person can be approached in one of two ways. through sheer power… or through wits. observation and understanding. knowledge of strengths and weaknesses, planning and execution, control under pressure"[/I][/B][/COLOR]. She abruptly disconnected her telepathic connection to Adelhein and focused on the test at hand. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"SaSa, listen up. We need to work together on this…"[/I][/B][/COLOR] She said to her partner telepathically [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"Their plan looks to be to engage in direct combat with the outer ones, who are likely going to provide some sort of support…"[/I][/B][/COLOR] Alicia’s eyes scanned the room. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"I don’t think our chances are great if we engage them head-on. Although I might be able to hold my own against one maybe, I’m not a fighter."[/I][/B][/COLOR] Alicia said. Besides her not believing herself to be an actual fighter, the two were also outnumbered two to one by the constructs. That was when Alica noticed the light of the pylons becoming brighter anytime one of the guardians passed by it. That made Alicia think [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"If I’m correct, then we might be able to take the constructs out without having to directly fight them… Sasa, cover me! I’m going to have a look at one of those pylons. These things are being controlled by something. Maybe the pylons are the antenna. If we disable them, then maybe those things will stop working, and we win."[/I][/B][/COLOR] She said before Alicia started moving to the closest pylon to her and started to examine it to see if she could figure out how they worked and maybe shut off completely.
