The smoke cloud began to clear faster.
Because of the violent wind created by the rapid movements of Vera and Diane swept through the battlefield, tearing apart the smoke and pushing the remaining flames away from the center of the platform.
Loose snow rolled across the ground.
Small pieces of broken stone were carried by the wind before dropping again.
The damaged platform slowly became visible.
Now, the crowd could finally see the two Young Alchemists more clearly.
The Low-ranking Alchemists among the spectators were especially focused on the holographic screens, trying to understand what had happened during the moments they had failed to follow.
Back on the fight platform…
Diane kicked a large piece of broken rock.
The rock had been sitting inside one of the noticeable holes created by the earlier 13-pound shell that had crashed into the platform near Vera.
The kick sent it flying toward Vera.
Vera shifted her body slightly, as the rock passed by her side.
