--- Blue --- (Directly following the events of chapter 1368. No time has elapsed)
Blue and March stared each other down for a few seconds. Neither was inclined to make the first move, largely because both of them wanted to stall for time. For March, she was still low on mana and had no idea what her cobbled together outfit could actually do. Mana was always useful, and any hints as to what her attire was capable of would be great.
On Blue's side of things, she still didn't know how to guarantee a win against March. The easiest way on land would be sharpened water spears, or perhaps a water bubble around the large woman's head. Even then, Blue wasn't certain that would take out her opponent. March's steam might be enough to get some oxygen into her lungs, or just blow apart the spell. As for the spears? March was strong, and with that strength came a good deal of speed. Actually hitting the woman would've been a challenge.
Hopefully you'll all enjoy seeing both sides of this fight. I think it's funny how outclassed both of them think they are, when in truth it's probably the most even matchup you could have this round.
For those wondering WHY that is. The short answer is that Blue hasn't trained for underwater combat and as such, doesn't know how to abuse her affinity for it properly. She would be much deadlier if everyone was on top of the water, surprisingly enough.
