Clara began moving forward. She wasn't a close combat fighter, but she was sure of something: if the fight dragged on, she would be at a disadvantage against Aurelia.
She had to fight smart and quickly. Aurelia doesn't run the risk of running out of magic, as she doesn't use much and is of Royal blood, but Clara has powerful magic that could potentially drain her Mana, but also give her the win.
Clara's steps quickened as she marched toward Aurelia.
The crowd shifted in their seats, murmurs rising even among the girls. Closing the distance to Aurelia was like digging your own grave, so they all wondered what Clara was doing.
She stopped after closing the distance a little bit but Aurelia was still coming closer. Clara did this for a reason, while she had the advantage from distance, her spells weren't the fastest, and she had seen Aurelia speed.
