Trinity Soul University - Campus -> Orientation
Trista's emotions ranged wildly as the boy, Angelico, pondered over the girl's name before her roommates beckoned the duo over to Orientation. Initially, Trista was awash with embarrassment when Angelico tried to pick apart her name. Though the girl never questioned her name much, it did seem odd how her name sounded rather like that. Though, as embarrassed as she was, the girl couldn't help but concede that it was a fitting name for her. Greatly.
Trista tried to speak up to Angelico too but no words could escape her mouth. Indeed, Trista was left a little speechless. Was it possible that Angelico had already figured something out about her? And what of her roommates? Not to mention what may come next in the Orientation. Stepping through the doorway, meekly beckoning Angelico to follow, Trista held onto her hope of meeting Oneira Krane and being able to learn from her.

(BGM: Crystallised Will - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzNkXJJCuW4)As hard as she tried not to show it, Oneira was angry. Not only did Toriel not understand what powers the Lone Wolf had in the first place, the goat had the gall to devalue or besmirch her life's work. To think of her powers so lowly, that the art of duelling was as little as a simple game. Oneira Krane, one of the most powerful magicians in Europe; the most powerful in her own country, to add. If Ms. Krane thought of her powers as anything beside a part of her, an extension of her will, why would she even be standing on the premises of such an esteemed and prestigious academy.
The wolf's ears were pointed straight from their once rested position and the sides of her mouth occasionally twitched as she refrained from baring her fangs before Toriel.
"Toriel." Oneira firmly stated,
"If you could lend your ears for a moment, I'll give you an answer."
"My magic is an expression of my own being. When I am fighting other duellists, I am not doing it just for the sake of it. I am expressing to the world how diverse and creative magic may be. All magic. Not just mine. If I were fighting just for my own amusement, thinking of my powers as merely a weapon, I would have retired long. ago."Lifting up her left arm, the Lone Wolf summoned a small but perfectly-shaped, diamond-like crystal above her gloved hand.
"I did not train to where I am now just for a laugh. I did not hone my crystals, learn to draw power from the Moon, or adjust my body to handle high speeds all just for playing around. Duelling is more than just a game, Toriel. Any aspiring duellist who ever thinks that rarely succeeds. It's an artform. It's a colourful and awe-inspiring display of what we mages can achieve. It's why all battles are non-lethal. The magic is the main focus, not the violence."Before the wolf continued speaking, she raised the crystal up into the sky. Oneira then aggressively clenched her fist and the crystal shattered into a fine and almost negligible cloud of dust before disappearing.
"You say you have seen my fights and duels, that you have seen all you need to see, but I believe you have a lack of understanding towards those who seek to claim the title of World's Strongest. I ask that you reconsider your stance towards me and my combatants before implying that my powers and my determination are for naught because, to be quite frank, I find that very insulting. And one more thing, I can't manipulate the wind. I use motion magic. I accelerate my body or my crystals to speeds higher than normal. It's how I was able to sprint here so quickly. It's easy to get confused between the two."
