Amity Colosseum, Day 3 of the Vytal Festival, 1:30 pm

The match has already began, one of the members of team CRDL (Russel) was running to the mountain side, explosions all around him. Finally, he turned around and took his battle stance to face the most threatening, most mischievous opponent he ever faced, a kind girl by the name of Penny. She took out a few of her flying blades putting them into a ring formation and tossing them towards Russel. He quickly hid behind a nearby boulder, right as the blades attached to it. Penny tossed another ring of blades towards another member of team CRDL (Sky Lark) who did the same thing as his teammate, gunning for another boulder and hiding behind, the blades attached to this one as well. Penny smiled and looked at her teammate (Ciel), who gave no response other than pointing at her watch. Now focused yet again, Penny revealed the strings attached to the handles of the blades, and used them to raise the rocks her two opponents had the misfortune to grip on to, right before throwing them back down, ending the fight before it could even start.

Oobleck (from speaker): And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!

Penny: Thank you for a wonderful time.

Meanwhile, in Vytal Festival fair

Team EJEA was watching the whole fight from a TV Ezio was able to install in his stand, it helped attract more clients as well, but right now it was just the four assassins. Evie got over her loss very easily and was helping Ezio with the stand, but Jacob still had Mercury's words on his mind.

Ezio: Jacob, Are you alright? You didn't touch you polpettes.

Jacob: How can I be fine? After what Mercury told me it's like waiting for the apocalypse.

Aveline: Speaking of which. Ezio, did you get another vision?

Ezio: No. I came to the colosseum after hours, but nothing happened. So far, the first vision is the best we have.

???: Really?

They turned around to see Connor standing to the right of the food stand, her tail slowly wiggling behind her.

Connor: Do tell.

Evie: I didn't know we had another Assassin stationed at Beacon.

Connor: Oh no. I'm stationed in Vale. Name's Sarah by the way, but you can just call me Connor.

Ezio: Alright. I'm Ezio, this is Evie, Aveline and the grim guy over there is Jacob.

Jacob: What are you doing?

Ezio: What? She's an Assassin.

Jacob: She looks like an Assassin. And even then I thought we said not to tell anyone.

Aveline: Valid points, but how about this. It's too late anyways, she heard us talking and we have a way to check her identity.

Ezio: Oh, right!

He reached in his back pocket and took out a coin.

Ezio: What do you see.

Connor: *chuckles* the symbol of our Brotherhood. Are we all suppose to carry things like these or is it just a select few?

Ezio: You'll get one in time. Now come, sit with us... "sister".

Connor smiled and sat next to Aveline.

Connor: So, mind telling me about the "vision"?

Evie: Sure. Ezio here, has a semblance that's lets him see events of the near future, but only if it is certain to happen.
