“I do hope at least one of you would learn a thing or two from this, but it seems it will be for naught.”
Ahem! As I was letting my intrusive thoughts out, Alice on the other hand, she comments this towards the people who will be fighting her. This, of course, falls down to deaf ears as these people are way too carefree, they simply are talking to each other, and what they are talking about it’s something that I wouldn’t expect them to converse about. A bunch of idiots, just mere moments from getting what they deserve.
Arrogant Young Man- I will be the first one! I will be the first one to show off the extent of my true strength!
Way to Happy Woman- Ha! I am the lady here, so I will be the first one! Or aren’t you a gentleman? Actually, that might have been a dumb question. From that ugly face I can say that you’re not one, but you can always make amends! Let me be the first one and become a gentleman with it! Ha, quite the deal if I say it myself.
Mean Man- A lady should be the first you say… If you were at least a third as pretty as Miss Florence is, then, I would consider sure, but in this case, back off! All of you, back off! I will be the first one!
Cocky Young Man- Calm down, just like previously, let’s take draws to see who will be the first one to fight Miss Florence. This way will be the fairest one for all of us.
“Sigh... They are hopeless…”
I agree Alice, I wholeheartedly agree with you, they are not taking this seriously even by a single bit. Reality will crash down on them hard because of it, but until that happens, they are playing rock-paper-scissors to define their order, the one who will fight first and so on.
Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!
One goes down, he will be the last one.
Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!
Another one down, this one is the third.
Rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot!
And we have a winner, it seems the lady will really be the first one.
Way to Happy Woman- Mhuahaha! I’m the first one! Suck it, you losers! Told ya that a lady is always first! Haha!
Mean Man- You brat... You got lucky that’s it, you still are nothing compared to Miss Florence!
Cocky Young Man- Well, nothing we can do really about it-
Arrogant Young Man- Rigged, this was rigged! How am I the last one!? These damn gods that do nothing but stand there! How the heck do more than 100 gods have missed my prayers!?
Aggressive Teacher- Shut the hell up! Just get ready already!
With quite the aggressive and loud tone of voice, he quickly grabs their attention making them at the same time, get in position. These idiots positioned themselves as you would expect, just like a bunch of idiots would. I mean it, they are somewhat in a line, at the front we have the woman, the one who won the contest, behind her the guy that was second and so on. Rather than attacking Alice all at once for example (not that it would make a difference), they fully intent on taking turns.
“Set and go!”
Bam!

With the small Pyro spell exploding in the air, the battle starts with it.
Way to Happy Woman- Here I go my Florence-
Step!
Before she could finish saying whatever she was about spit out of her disgusting mouth, Alice quickly dashes towards her with great speed, but to give an idea of just how fast she is, she covers at least 20 meters in a span of 2 seconds, covering more than half the distance between them in that time. Her eyes are wide open once her mind-boggling brain processed what just happened and what will happen of course. However, the moment her eyes met Alice's eyes then, panic quickly appears on her face.
Way to Happy Woman- Yeek! She’s fast-
Bam!
With a simple but strong straight punch, she hits the woman right in the middle of her stomach, making her let out a pitiful sound of pain. Tears quickly fall down her face as the pain is processed on her brain, her legs lose strength once the shock wave from the impact hits them. Both of her arms embrace her own stomach as the pain gets way too unbearable and of course, without even wanting, she buries her face into the cold stone tiles as the pain is way too much for her to handle.
The other three quickly react as they finally understand how serious Alice is and of course, the situation they are in. “What the- She’s serious! This is bad for us!” The one that was the meanest, he screams this from the top of his lungs as the fear of getting hit consumes his very limited reason. “She’s dead serious!” The calmest one lets this out into the world, a value information to the other two of them. It seems the despair of getting hit is also starting to take control of him, just like it did to Anya. “Oh crap, I’m next.” Already defeated and well aware of his fantastic future, he says this with quite the defeated look on his face.
How the tables have turned.
Step!
She steps forward towards the closest one and of course, she quickly covers that distance after all, they were and are in a straight line. One falls down, target the next one behind. Quite a simple and effective strategy in this very case. Seeing Alice this close makes him panic beyond anything. He tries to follow her movement with his eyes however, he’s only able to stare at her face, exactly at her eyes and what they are targeting at. As quickly as he can, he puts both of his arms in front of his face as he thinks she will hit him there, forgetting that, by doing so, not only has he completely lost vision of her, he’s wide open for a well-placed gut punch.
Pow!
Another precise and simple punch, but with enough power to inflict pain beyond anything he has experienced until now. “Argh!” He lets out a pitiful sound of pain as he also falls down to his knees and just like the woman from before, with both of his arms embracing his stomach. The next one is up next and he knows it well.
“Wait! Wait! I give up! Yeah! Please don’t hit me!”
Ah, the cries of desperation and plea to forgiveness. What a fool, do you really think you can get away from what you did? You played around, and you found out. And it more than sees that Alice is ignoring his pleas as she steps towards him the same way as she did before, closing the distance in an instant, and luckily for her this idiot is completely wide open. This is going to hurt.
Kapow!
This time it wasn’t a gut punch, neither a punch at all. With her left leg forward by quite a bit, with her right leg she gains some momentum and spins around, it seems she will hit him with a kick, a spinning kick. Oh boy, this definitely will hurt. By doing all of this, she gains quite the force behind it but it seems she has some reason still intact in her head as you can clearly see her slowing down once the heel of her foot gets near his jaw. It hits him square in the jaw, it does not break it, shreds it from his face or anything dramatic at all, she more than held back her strength, just to a level enough to simply knock him out and somewhat send him flying sideways a few meters.
“I-I also give up! Please don’t hit me! I give up!”
The last one, the one that was supposed to be the calmest one, is now terrified beyond anything, spitting out incomprehensive syllables string out together into a jabbering of a mad man. In other words, he’s crapping himself from the fear and despair of getting hit either in the face or in his guts. Unfortunately, it seems the goddess of luck is on his side as the teacher quickly runs up to the middle of them as he understands the severity of the situation and what will happen.
Aggressive Teacher- Florence! Are you out of your mind!? You’re acting like a mad woman! You’re going way too far! You can’t do this to the students for crying out loud!
As you can see and probably hear, he’s screaming at her, spit comes out of his mouth as each word is spat out into the world, as his anger consumes the whole arena from how loud he is. He’s more than angry at Alice, at what she did, at the disrespect that she committed to him and his authority as a teacher.
“Oh, is that the case? As far as I’m concerned, they more than happily agreed to fight me. Not my fault they overestimated their own strength and underestimated mine.”
Aggressive Teacher- You still can’t do this to them! Look around you! What do you think people will think about this place once they hear about this!? This is a prestigious Academy, mind your manners you damn witch! Are you crazy!?
