"Are you sure?" Olivia asked for the tenth time. "I-I don't want to be the reason you get hurt."

Alex was still wary of our intentions to hold the fight against Julia and tried to hold Olivia back, who was being generous about the situation at hand. Tristan and I decided that Julia could bring one more person into the fight, since it wouldn't be fair as a two against one fight. Fights like this were always occurring with low tiers, but low tiers against a high tier was a serious issue.

There weren't any rules to fights like these, other than killing being an exception. If you killed someone, it would obviously be considered murder. I was wrapping my hand in bandages, pulling on a new white glove.

I looked over at Olivia and smiled lightly, "We got this. Don't freak out too much."

She sighed and put her hand on her forehead, as if checking to see if she was dreaming. "I dunno about this. W-We could easily just pay for any of this, but if you really feel like doing this, I'm not watching. I have to get back to work to run the coffee shop, and so does Alex. After you win, you can get your drinks that you ordered."

"Let's go, Olivia," Alex said, ready to leave us in the dust. Olivia followed after him.

She sounds so positive that we'll win. I smiled slightly and blew on my palm, letting snow cover over the wounded area. That'll keep my skin intact for a few more minutes.

Tristan grinned mischievously and put his hand up. "You ready?"

"Hell yeah."

We high-fived, and I felt the confidence in him rising. Peering to my left, I looked in the direction of Julia. I sensed a strange amount of energy waves transferring towards us. A man was talking to her, and he looked to be like a well-trained bodyguard. Julia has Summoning as a main attribute, but I don't know her other attribute. That man has something powerful, and it just might be transformation or morphing. The power is so similar to other transformation energy waves. I peered at Tristan, and he nodded.

"Hurry up!" I yelled. "My latte's gonna get cold!"

Julia rolled her eyes, glancing at us. "Be patient. You're not a queen." I raised an eyebrow at this. We'll see about that. "I guess I should introduce you to my friend so that you don't get killed." Beside me, Tristan scoffed at her stuck-up attitude and cocky ego. "This is Brent, and he was Transformation. I, on the other hand, have Summoning."

Called it.

It was weird for high tiers to have only one attribute, but it was regular since they already 'worked too hard in their normal being lives'. Only few high tiers had two attributes, depending on if they started from the bottom and worked their way up. It wasn't unusual, but I guess people in the past used to think that the higher classes would have more power. Something just didn't seem right though. Examining Brent's figure, I couldn't help but think that his posture was too clean. Almost too.. inhumane. I let out a heavy sigh, pulling my thoughts away from my mind.

"Try and scratch us."

Suddenly, a spear appeared in front of my throat, posing as a threat. My breath got caught at its abrupt appearance. Julia smiled innocently. "I can summon from long distances, so don't underestimate me."

I smiled back with a sarcastic look and grabbed the handle of the spear, letting it freeze into ice. Her eyes widened at the change, and I smiled slightly, saying, "I could say the same for you. It seems you think us low tiers are weak as hell." The spear cracked and shatter, making it seem like it was made entirely out of clear and cold glass. "I control weather. And, what a shocker, weather ties in with temperature."
