Lydia ducked once again before hurling a set of water spikes from her fingertips. Another set of vines came out of the ground, causing her to jump up while she swung her hand with purpose.

"Well, if you win, I might get an autograph. But I doubt it." Marie Pettigreen called out, smiling. Behind her smile was the confidence that she would win against Lydia.
