Scarlett nodded, a bit in thought when Adelhein mentioned the reason for why he ended up there, while she might have liked a bit more elaboration perhaps, that could come later possibly.

“It sounds you reason for being here..and political situation back at home has had challenges it’s fair to say.”

“Alternation magecraft doesn’t so far off like you say, as far as end results go in ability at least..I will say that I believe that transformation magic does have its own unique benefits which are different than what alternation magecraft offers..I’m glad that you’re interested just the same.” She’d give him a bit of a smile.

It was curious to hear Gilgamesh speak so casually about gods of this world and meeting them,she wasn’t exactly sure if that was something one really wanted to do, unless it was Zephyrus bestowing you gift or something, but even that might be for dire reasons..gods didn’t usually get involved directly after all from what Scarlett understood.

Didn’t sound like they’d sparing, fair enough as far as Scarlett was concerned, there were other means to train and frankly she really wasn’t sure how well Aqua would be able to manage herself in a PVP for the time being even if it was training with how she sort of just freaked out even during the exam golem where she knew she couldn’t really be hurt hurt, but there’d be time to improve that.

Scarlett looked around when the area shifted, a bit surprised at first before speaking once more. “Very nice Adelhein..once again I find myself rather impressed. She then saw the tall golem, thankfully not looking quite on the level of the exam one with size and ornamentation but still impressive, a more serious expression took hold as she assumed a battle stance at seeing it.

“Another metallic friend for us to beat up on..got it.”

She hadn’t quite been expecting Adelhein to hurt himself..with the bleeding, but then it became apparent it was for training purposes. Hopefully that might be more up Aqua’s ally for the time being.


“Seeing Demeter’s impressive ability, Scarlett nodded, “Very well then, I will say that I can’t really use my ranged magic and move yet simultaneously, so I’ll be using my battle magic unless there’s some set up where we can get this big guy in my more limited range.” She’d explain clearly for everyone.

With that Scarlett ran up as fire energy came from her fist shortly from when she brought it back to try to strike full force, a steely glint of determination in her eyes, and she’d attempt to strike the golem shortly after the others did their attacks to hopefully take advantage of any would be recoiling from the golem so it’d be less likely to be able to block her out right.

Adelhein El-Melloi von Breyer

“I’m certainly glad you think so. This space was created for training purposes, allowing to be done without worrying about structural damage.” Adelhein said, looking over his shoulder towards Scarlett with a slight pained expression from his wound. Despite his words, that was going to be the first actual test of the chamber itself and the young magus certainly hoped that things were up to standard. Equally, he was just as glad that the teleportation had gone off without any problem, lest the group end up stuck inside a wall or between floors. That last part, however, he would never admit having been a possibility.

Demeter’s spikes would hit against the mercurial golem’s liquid surface, encountering quite of resistance, but managing to penetrate it shallowly. The metallic skin ended up changing color slightly, thanks to the poison which now mixed with its own composition, darkening it.

The Appraisal of the golem revealed some information about it. To no surprise, it was a [Construct], a carapace given [Core], which ended up doting it with a lower and limited type of consciousness. Quite a few other information were shown as only [????], hinting that the Appraisal had not been of sufficient grade to fully reveal the creature’s information. Two things were clear: the room itself was feeding it mana to keep it functional and its [Function] had changed from [Stand By] to [Engage].

The last bit was shown in practice, as soon as the hulking golem began to move, breaking off the spikes which had been breached its skin. Each running step was accompanied by a loud, echoing thud, as the creature’s visage become larger and larger. It didn’t take long for the golem to manage to cover about 20ft.

Aureus, walking into range for his own magic, attempted to cast his [Granite Punisher]. However, as soon as the mana started to take shape, it fizzled in a loud, buzzing sound as it dissipated into the air in a cloud of faint blue dust. It looked like the elf lacked the high enough concentration [Focus] or the natural talents [Componentless Magic] to physically move and use spells in the same round. Things would have been different if he had teleported or been moved by some exterior force.

Adelhein El-Melloi von Breyer

The young magus, looking over his shoulder, watched the fizzling with a critical gaze. He was aware that the caster’s movements could end up influencing the success of produced magecraft. “Aureus, try again without moving this time around. Your mana ended up dispersing as soon as you began moving.” His tone held no judgement what-so-ever, only really interested about the results of the first assault.

There was a silver-lining as far as the fizzling was concerned. For now, the golem appeared to ignore the elf, instead charging towards the dryad and covering 10ft of distance.

Its movement was interrupted with Scarlett closing in on it. Her flaming fist hitting and sinking against the mercurial surface, causing a small ripple around on the target area. The burning was quickly extinguished as its liquid surface quickly shifted around.

​

It seems that now, identifying both Scarlett and Demeter as targets, the construct, siphoning mana from the training chamber, before thrusting its sword forward. The tip of the blade extended, rapidly, with a whip-like quality that resembled some of Adelhein’s magecraft. [Singular attack, line attack, dual targeting (Scarlett, Demeter)]

Artoria

Artoria had been watching the training from the side-lines, her golden gaze surveying the attack on the golem with a cold, purely analytical and intently gaze, like herself was their instructor. Her pitch-black sword, at some point, had been drawn from the sheath, its tip poking at the reinforced floor, as her gauntlets were resting on top of its pommel. “Good opening. Now, let’s see how you can handle its counter-attack.” The faintest of smiles was present on her lips, breaking her otherwise stoic façade. However, the intense tapping of her armored index betrayed the barely constrained eagerness to join the fray.

Gilgamesh

And, from Adelhein’s side, Gilgamesh observed the training with a wide smile present on her lips, eyes drinking greedily from the impromptu entertainment. It wasn’t exactly of the quality she wanted, but she would get her kicks from wherever she could. She would move behind the young magus, leaning forward and downward, until her face was just beside his own. “What an interesting little group you assembled, Adelhein~” She said in a low and husky tone, lips brushing against the shell of his ear as her narrowing crimson gaze burned intently towards Aqua, who was in front of the pair, testing the blue-haired girl’s concentration, among other things. “Oh yes, I believe I have a reward to give you later…”

Adelhein El-Melloi von Breyer

The dual, opposing sensations of the cold water around his injured hand and the hot breath against his ear, made a few goosebumps appear on Adelhein’s exposed arm, his concentration also being tested. His eyes focused the best they could on Aqua’s work on his hand, the wound closing ever so slightly, bit-by-bit. The water ended-up gaining a slight pinkish hue, thanks to be blood which was mixed with it. “... good work. Keeping… your concentration is the most difficult part. Even more in high-stress situations. Try to increase your mana flow along the wound.” He advised, accompanying her work.

Aqua

---

Aqua would continue pouring mana into the water than covered both of their hands, her eyes were closed as she tried to put all of her focus into the effort. Hearing Adelhein's encouragement, she pressed more mana into it in hopes it would give her better result. Though, now that she's alone with only Adelhein & Gilgamesh around, maybe its time for her to ask something. She slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were glowing blue as she's still channeling her magic.

"Can I... Can I ask something? D-did you perhaps, got into this, err.... world, through a summoning circle?"

Demeter
​

All that she managed to glean from the construct was that it was, indeed a construct with a core.

That and the fact that it was fairly durable.

"I guess that shouldn't surprise me."

Oh well. It's not like Demeter ever needed that much of an understanding of a foe to fight it. As the construct began to extend its sword, the young fae immediately began to counter. A field of roots would erupt from the ground below Scarlett, Aureus and the construct's feet. Some would rocket towards the machine and attempt to pierce its armored hide once more. Others would strike at its arm and blade in an attempt to deflect its attack. And others would simply rise into the air in the space between Demeter and the construct to act as cover and intercept its attack.

Two more spikes of root would rise just before Demeter, crossed over one another, to work in combination with her initial assault to intercept the long-ranged attack, deflect it, and [counter] the construct.

A tried and true combination attack to begin the battle proper. Aureus and Scarlett would find not a single spike directed towards them; nor would the dryad's assault hinder their movements. Would it be enough to defend against the construct's strength?

They'd find the answer to that question real soon.

Aureus Albion
​

Aureus winced as the heat of the moment made him lose focus and his energy simply fizzled and bounced back, causing him some pain. He overheard Adelhein's comment, and that got him thinking. It was true. Channeling mana while moving was a difficult task.

With his teacher's advice in mind, Aureus tried again. Taking a deep breath, he clasped his hands, and casted them forward. The mana built with more ease this time around. The elf could even feel some sort of surge within him, strengthening his flowing mana from his feet all the way to his hands.

Once again, with a subtle pulse of energy, pillars of solid rock erupted around the golem. These were aimed at its lower legs, in an attempt to make their opponent lose balance.

As he tried this second go, thoughts of his first adventure resurfaced. In which all he tried turned bad. Earning his companions' apathy and even contempt. Feeling like quite the opposite of now. He had his doubts about rising to the expectations, but at least this battle, much like the previous one, he felt more comfortable in battle.
