Battle Arena
Nicodemus
*stood beside her as she ate her fries.*
Nicodemus
*His eyes scanned the arena, alert for any potential threats.*
Nicodemus
“My Lady,” he said in a low voice, “are you sure about this?”
Lucretia
“What? We're just watching. Aren't we?”
Nicodemus
"Of course, My Lady. Just watching."
Nicodemus
*He paused, glancing at the fries in her hand.* "But please be cautious with the food."
Lucretia
*eating fries* “What's wrong with it?”
Nicodemus
*His eyes narrowed, scanning the arena below.*
Nicodemus
"It's not the food itself, My Lady. It's just... in a place like this, one can never be too careful." He turned back to her.
Lucretia
“Oh please... Also, didn't I say to drop the formalities? Call me Lucia.”
Nicodemus
"As you wish... Lucia." He hesitated, then continued, "I apologize if I'm overprotective.
Lucretia
“You're just doing your job, No problem.”
Lucretia
“Hey, Nico. Who do you think would win between those two guardians?”
Nicodemus
*Nico's gaze snapped back to the arena, his eyes narrowing as he studied the two guardians battling below.*
Nicodemus
"The one with the blue aura, Lucia. He's a SSS-rank with ice manipulation abilities."
Lucretia
“And the other one?”
Nicodemus
*The other guardian, a woman with fiery red hair, unleashed a barrage of flames at her opponent.*
Nicodemus
"She's an SSS-rank as well, but her specialty is fire manipulation."
Lucretia
“So you think she'll lose?”
Nicodemus
*Nico shook his head.*
Nicodemus
"Not necessarily. The outcome depends on their individual skills and strategies."
Nicodemus
He paused, then added, "In a clash between ice and fire, the one who can maintain their focus and adapt to their opponent's attacks will likely emerge victorious."
Nicodemus
*His eyes are back at her*
Lucretia
“I see. Then if you were to clash with Arzhel, who would win?”
Nicodemus
his jaw clenched, "Arzhel is a different story, Lucia. He's a zenith rank guardian, the highest rank below the No. 0 family."
Lucretia
“So, you'll lose?”
Nicodemus
Nico's gaze hardened, a fierce determination flashing in his eyes. "I would give my life to protect you, Lucia. But against Arzhel..."
Nicodemus
He trailed off, his expression grim. "The odds are not in my favor."
Lucretia
“What about me then? If we were to clash...who do you think would win?“
Nicodemus
Nico's eyes widened, a look of shock and disbelief crossing his face. "Lucia, you... you have no powers."
Nicodemus
He shook his head, trying to comprehend her question. "You're the last Number Zero, the heiress to the throne of the higher being, but also the weakest of them all."
Lucretia
“The weakest... or you just can't identify my power with your identification skill?”
Nicodemus
*Nico's eyes narrowed, studying Lucia intently.*
Nicodemus
*His identification ability scanned her, searching for any signs of power.*
Nicodemus
After a moment, his expression shifted from disbelief to confusion. "I... I don't understand.
Lucretia
“What exactly do you not understand?”
Nicodemus
*Nico's brow furrowed, his gaze piercing as he continued to examine Lucia*
Nicodemus
"Your aura... it's completely blank. Like a void. It's impossible for someone from the No. 0 family to have no powers."
Nicodemus
*realized* "You... your power is the void! NIHILIKINESIS."
Lucretia
“Far from enough so no, it's not a sort of kinesis.”
Nicodemus
"I don't understand, why did you hide your power?"
Lucretia
“What powers? I'm powerless, remember?”
Lucretia
*activated her power*
Nicodemus
*confused* "Right. I feel like I'm forgetting something."
Lucretia
“oh please, just continue watching the battle of those guardians.”
