The improvised group
A drop of sweat runs down Olivia's forehead as she realizes something
Olivia's thoughts: now that I realize... I'm screwed, Julian's trio... Instead of me becoming the challenge, they're the ones who will be the challenge
The woman sighs tiredly, too lazy to have to deal with that trio. She manages to deal with the trio of students one by one without much trouble, evaluating some of their strategies, in the end, she reaches Julian's group, she stretches and prepares to use everything she has.
Olivia: come on, I know you're strong, so I won't hold back
Julian: I know, teacher
Natalie: you better be prepared
Natalie starts to walk around Olivia, while Julian advances against her, their blades collide, however, the woman quickly pushes Julian away with three stabs at him, one in the navel, and two others, one in each corner of his shoulder, with that, Olivia generates a sphere in her hand.
Olivia: Venandiagrum!
The sphere expands and covers the three of them, she advances against Julian once more, she lands three parallel cuts on Julian's chest, who ignores the damage and pierces his rib, then knocks him down with a kick to the leg. The woman moves away from where she was, as Natalie prepares an expansive punch in that region, the girl smiles in amusement as she begins to advance with punches that generate craters, however, Olivia's concern was another, she was attentive to Millie, who was nearby carrying an exceptionally powerful offensive, she was carrying a bow and arrow, while energizing the arrow with the maximum of her Vitalis, Olivia tries to throw a ball of wind, which advances against Natalie, trying to cut her, but she raises her arms, her forearms transforming into a type of rigid rock that absorbs the damage.
Natalie: damnumknockback
[Natalie's unique technique allows her to transform her forearms into a unique rock model that absorbs damage received by the enemy, however, she only absorbs attacks based on or imbued with Vitalis, pure physical blows are not absorbed, after absorbing she can return the damage in a unique punch format, her punches becoming stronger]
Natalie advances against Olivia, her arms glowing with orange energy, she begins to punch and pressure Olivia strongly, but with Olivia's focus on the two, she forgets about Julian who appears behind her and pierces her back, Natalie takes advantage and executes several punches to the woman's face, and from a certain point, she begins to land one critical hit after another that in the end, stun Olivia, she kicks her back, she falls into Millie's sights, who launches the arrow that hits her squarely.
Olivia: Damn... I couldn't win
Olivia comes out of a room next to the training area, the one that was fighting the trios of students, it was a replica created by an artifact.
Olivia: {sighs} I even tried to summon my familiar, but I didn't have time, your arrow hit me before I could do anything
Millie: {bows} we thank you, we tried hard to create this strategy
Natalie: Actually, no, that was the first idea that came to Julian's mind, so we accepted it without thinking much
Julian: Millie would carry the final attack, while I would face his direct blows and Natalie would withstand his attacks from Vitalis
Olivia: Still, it's a good strategy, basic but efficient
The class continues and Olivia teaches a few more things. During recess, Natalie walks up to Julian, patting him on the back
Natalie: Hey kid! You did really well today, why don't you train with me after school?
Julian: I would love to, you did well too
Millie: They both did well
Julian and Natalie are startled by Millie's sudden intrusion
Millie: I'm sorry for the scare, I don't know many people yet and you guys have been the closest so far
Julian: I see, do you want to sit with us
Natalie: Wait, I was already sitting here?
Julian: If you want, you two are welcome to sit with me-
Before Julian could finish speaking, Natalie sits down in an instant, while Millie, on the other hand, calmly sits down and starts eating her snack.
Natalie: So what? What do you guys do?
Julian: I would say not much, I just train and... I waste my time with board games
Natalie: I see, nothing too exciting, the training is actually cool, but that alone gets boring, anyway, what about you?
Millie: I don't do much either, besides what's already been mentioned, I take some walks around the kingdom and chat with some nobles at tea parties or meetings
Natalie: that sounds even more boring, you two don't have much to do, do you?
Julian: but what about you? You're saying so much about how we spend our time, but in my opinion, all you do is train
Natalie: humpf, do you really think I don't do anything besides train? Well... I train...
Julian: uh?...
Millie: {sighs} in the end, what you're implying is right
Natalie: sorry, okay? I don't have much to do, but let's get busy, let's go on a walk around the kingdom, how about it?
Millie: maybe it would be fun
Julian: why maybe? What could go wrong with this?
Millie: It's not really about what could go wrong, but about how we don't know each other very well yet.
Julian: I see, but a trip like this would be just for that, wouldn't it?
Millie: You're right, why not take a chance, right?
Natalie: It's a deal! Let's set this up.
On another distant planet...
A girl was walking through a dark forest, almost completely dead, with leafless trees and a thick fog, until she reached a spot where the moon was shining.

Marcus is 55 years old and 1.86m tall.
Elaina: {humming} Oh! How happy!
Marcus: I can already imagine why you're happy.
Elaina: Oh! You scared me! Don't just appear out of nowhere in this place
Marcus: forget it, just come in
The two enter a cave, walking a little they reach a large room inside the cave, there were Demian and Aki.
Demian: You finally arrived, you were a little late, huh?
Marcus: I'm sorry, I was tracked and had to waste some time against some obstacles.
Elaina: I was excited about the news to bring, my last clues made me find the last piece we needed, she is on Earth, some Vitalis signatures radiated from there prove it to me.
Elaina holds out a parchment, she opens it, and some paperwork comes out of the parchment.
Elaina: Here is the proof, we can finally finish this long-standing project.
Demian: It's a joy to see these papers.
Marcus: So that's it, our next destination is Earth.
Aki: We'll go to the neighboring planet and take the first Cruise there.
Elaina takes the papers and puts them back on the parchment, and accompanies the group off the planet in a smaller Cruise.
Marcus: By the way! Where is he?
Demian: He's with us all the time
Marcus: {shudders} I didn't notice
Demian: Just calm down
Marcus: I know...
Elaina: He's much stronger than all of us together, right?
Aki: I don't know if we could consider it a fight if we all faced him together, he'd end us
Elaina: One of his relatives is on Earth, right?
Aki: Yes, he's also strong, but currently, he's no match for us
Demian: Why don't you guys stop this and go back to discussing what matters?
Marcus: Let's plan our division, planet Earth currently has five great kingdoms, and we're five people, in other words, it's perfect, each one goes to each kingdom to look for the artifact
Demian: Do you understand?
Elaina: Yes!!!
Aki: Yes
