☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Madame and Monsieur! Señores and juniors señoritas! Comrades! Welcome to our circus performance dedicated to the coronation of Her Majesty Empress Naria es Diesra Arual! Hurrah!
Waiting for the responding "hurrahs" and applause to fade, Beata continues.

Fyr hoped they wouldn't fade for a long time, and that is exactly how it happened. It was wonderful; the joy, happiness, and friendliness of these people knew no bounds. Joining in their jubilation loudly as they honored the Suzerain and Beata was unforgettable. Now it could be believed: she had done it. She had clearly succeeded. Things would only get better from here!

Holding back tears of excitement, the Lunarian bowed to the audience.
- Aha-ha! What a cutie!

Internally, Fyr gave the "cutie" a 👍

A breathtaking battle dance performed by the warriors of Carnelian — Erephir and Garrett! Please welcome our artists!
Beata clears the stage and joins Guillon in leaning against the tent wall. Her heart is beating wildly somewhere in her throat.

Time to start? Well, it's time. Erephir's dress remained the same; experience in avoiding crowds had shown that it was very comfortable to move in, and it was truly combat-ready—not a single spot or scratch appeared on the dress from Penny. Clearly, the modeling agency really is a very harsh and tough business; if their clothes weren't made of super-fiber, they wouldn't hold up. This should be taken advantage of...

Especially since the performance depended on her, Erephir's, flexibility. And especially since it fluttered beautifully during pirouettes. So, the task for the next microsecond:

Recall previous developments

And recall some more previous developments

Music — preparing (the drum is the most important part of the composition)

The Nozenrotka steps onto the stage. Words are unnecessary; today Beata directs the action, she will say everything needed, and from the performers... smiles are required.

There's the redhead in place, bowing gracefully, but where is her opponent? Could it be a mistake? Not at all—a beat of the drum, and by providing a block, the newly minted magister flips through the air and bounces off someone the audience hadn't noticed until now. The dance has begun (not as dangerous as in the video, though, hah).


In a frantic rhythm where every strike, every dodge, and every acceptance of a blow had been rehearsed to perfection for maximum dance-like spectacle, further multiplied by her and Garrett's synchronization, which could only be achieved in battle. As always, the redhead tried to give it her all, while the Aster... Surely the Aster wanted to show off even more, for he now had a brother—a real, living one—so let his first day in the new world be unforgettable!
