“Tough one, isn't it? Trying to answer this question breaks my brain more than any gōng'àn. But like those poems, maybe the answer is that we don't need no answer right away. All those people out there. Millions is still a big number, you know? They must all be looking for every answer in the book, some waiting for us to find them for'em. But we're all living still. That's good. That's hope. I lost much, but don't want to take my eyes off of that, too.”

“You make a good point. We’re still alive. Which means we still have a chance. We should focus on what we can do with the chance we were given.” Sena said.

"Who.... are you now?" she asked slowly, turning her head and facing behind her sluggishly.

"Shalai, Elemental researcher is my official title." Shalai said, coming out and she seemed barely a teenager in age with a cup of IV fluid for Victoria

“Boss must be a heavy sleeper.”
Aura finally interrupts her somewhat aggressive knocking to answer Sena.
“Sena! I know I'm the one who started it, but more smart talk than my head can deal with in a day has been had since the reunion happened. Which is why... Strategic change of subject! How did you learn those fancy swordplay tricks? Lightning, ice. What else? Right! Something like an invisible hand was throwing you around. What was that?”
 
DaReaperMan said:
"Darren." Shalai said with a nod, "and nice to meet you Victoria, I hear you all are going to be giving me a lot more points to research."

"I've taken some notes and references during the team's sparring session. You can scan them if you need to" Darren said, offering his notebook

“Very well I suppose I can explain my powers. As I said before my swordplay training was taught by my grandfather. I’ve done what I could to improve on his lessons. The ice and electricity are some basic elemental magic that I picked up quickly. I tried a few other elements but those were the two the clicked the most with me. Then there’s probably my most unique ability, the “invisible hand” as you called it. The truth is that it’s an application of gravity based magic. I can modify the strength of gravity on me as well change the direction that it’s pulling me. That’s how I was able to dodge your kick. Just have gravity pull me in the opposite direction.” She said clearly excited to talk about her skills.

“Swift as a bolt, steadfast as a glacier.” Bringing a hand to her chin, Aura played with an imaginary beard, imitating the old masters. “I was going to ask why these two, but you answered before I could! I like that enthusiasm!! But is telling me all this really a good idea? Next time, I'll know all your secrets and my revenge will be swift!” Just like a villain out of the martial arts movies she loved to watch. Before the world went down the drain, that is. She laughed. “I've learned a good deal of techniques, but never branched this much from the roots. Do you think I could do it too, if I put my mind to it? Nature hasn't made anything that suits me better than fire, but I wouldn't complain about other ways of punching it back to sleep.”

“I don’t mind telling you. After all we are teammates now so being able to support one another will be a good benefit. And don’t think just knowing my powers will be enough to overcome them.” She says with a smirk. “As for whether you can do it too, I’m sure you could. You can definitely develop some abilities to make your style even better. I can just tell you’ve got some great potential.”

“Hohohoho! Makes it sound like I can't win whether I know it or not. The one thing my head doesn't mind stressing over for hours and nights whole, that something is fighting. Mark my words like this scar on my cheek!” With a thumb facing up to point for said cheek, Aura boasted... Then laughed, flustered. “<snicker> Sorry. You're the first in many years to tell me that. Never tried thinking any different, but damn it feels good to hear it from another!”
 
"Drug use, maybe, not everyone in the resistance is going to have a clean background." Shalai said, clearly she didn't judge as she read the observations(Which you should make Pepper lol)

“Just know that when it comes to passion, I won't be losing to anyone! From now on, we're bestest. The best! And besties have backs. But I'm going to sleep some more for tomorrow. Don't forget to wake me up with a good punch if an emergency happens!”
And just like that, she went to find some random corner or bench to drop asleep on. Strange woman, that Aura was. But her heart was good and true.

Shalai read through the notes, finding these following notes written down

Aura Len is an odd fellow. She's definitely smarter than she lets on, that or she focused all her education on combat. Whatever it is, she is quite proficient in her own technique
*Lacks an item to channel her mana, use of clothes?
*Primarily utilizes martial arts
*Able to perform pyromancy, unaffected by fire and heat. Via training or side effect of pyromancy proficiency
*Screams a lot in combat, may be exploited by her or her enemies
*Pyromancy proficiency is above beginners, able to manipulate flames instead of just create them
*Also resistant to electricity, seems willing to endanger self to gain advantage
*Energy projection, how odd. Odder still, she used it for evasion
*Able to move fast enough to kick rocks as they fall
*Has a flashy finisher, unsure if it's stronger than her other feats though charging up an attack has been shown in many cases to strengthen an attack
*And she just cancels it. To be fair, this would cause severe injury and property damage, something we can't risk at this point in time
*Seems to be a great sport, expect future rematch with Sena

Sena Sakurane is yet another sword wielder among the many. She's definitely skilled and powerful, she wouldn't be here if she weren't but it is a extremely bloated field
*Blade used to channel mana
*Can create electricity, sword's stock is likely an isolator or she herself is resistant
*Able to manipulate gravity though used it for evasion. Might not be strong enough to restrain the average person
*Performed cryomancy, used it for defense. Opponent's pyromancy, lack of proficiency, unwillingness to harm an ally?
*Once again used gravity for evasion despite the debris flung at her being much lighter, smaller, and unmoving
*Also a good sport, unknown whether she'll take Aura's offer for a future rematch

Victoria Geheimnis is a cold bitter person. Being a cold bitter person myself, that's completely valid
*Extremely neglectful at personal health and wellbeing. Doesn't affect combat
*Stores a sniper rifle below her dress without any detachment. How has she been walking all this time?
*Rifle is presumably used to channel mana
*Proficient in trick shots enough to ricochet a bullet past at least a dozen projectiles
*Manifested a polearm from, somewhere
*Created words. Causes effects those words spelled
*Applications included bouncing, weight gain, wind blowing, slashing (durability negation?), expelling contaminants (via mouth. teleportation?), heating (melted glass, takes 1700 C), force push,
*Mana application turns objects into projectiles
*Performed a feat of strength above the average person. Drug-related, statistic amplification, a word's effect?

Nerron is one of the stonefallen. Many aspects about them are unclear and may have relations to the elementals
*Able to form crystals for projectiles, calls them "diamonds". Hopefully a hyperbole
*Turned into sand before reforming. Density shifting or molecular change? Only applicable to self
*Sand also usable for projectiles
*Formed a tornado from his body while it's sand. Created sword from his arm while it's crystal. Shapeshifting capabilities?
*Used sand to deafen someone, eardrums not pierced, lack of permanent damage
*Claims to arise from non-harmful exotic magic. Completely different from all previous claims

Rakih is a really strange person. Attempting to create a brand new form of magic called "cultivation" where he accumulates mana inside of him, with predictable effects
*Demonstrates exceptional tolerance to pain. Claims to be the result of extensive martial arts training
*Blade, glove, and presumably his handgun is used to channel mana
*Blade's stock is an insulator
*Says the name of his attacks before doing it, may be exploited by him or his enemies
*Sword projected energy while he performed a mana-charged attack. Long-distance casting typically present in telekinesis users
*Used gravitational magic in-tandem with telekinesis. Increased impact force
*Energy projection above beginners, able to form coherent shapes. With long-distance casting nevertheless
*Attacks have homing capabilities
*Noticed an attack from behind, increased perceptions?
*Outpaced his opponent without teleportation. Speed boost?
*Created an afterimage. Supports speed boost hypothesis, possibly illusion magic
*Went after pressure points
*Recovered from internal damage, possibly how he survived multiple severe injuries
*Body puppeted by an external entity under extreme duress. Able to move even in conditions when moving should be impossible. Greatly strengthens magic capabilities

Palaria is our leader and a researcher on mana. While not physically resilient, she makes up for it with her magic which she seems exceptionally proficient at
*Suffered an unspecified tragedy in the past. Doesn't affect combat
*Lacks an item to channel her mana, use of clothes?
*Performed true teleportation
*Forcefield creation above amateurs. Able to maintain multiple layered forcefields at once
*Fired a beam of "light". Not true light. Travel speed perceptible and even reactable by her opponent
*Unconventional offensive use of forcefields. Seems to be stronger than the average person, ragdolled her opponent despite being in peak physical condition
*Dodged multiple homing attacks without teleportation. Increased reaction speed, precognition, counterspell?
*Deflected multiple attacks that surprised her. Automatic casting?
*Performed a substitution trick. Afterimage hypothesis supports power mimicry, illusion magic hypothesis implies higher proficiency as only strong illusions can harm anyone attacking it
*Range of electricity attacks encompassed entire training field, possibly more. Great counter against low-ranged illusions, teleportation, and flight

Llarinus is our other leader though not much is known of him. Further observation must be made
*Walked past both of Rakih and Palaria's strongest attacks without the use of magic
*Ignored all their illusions. Sensing magic?
*Able to take down Rakih in his puppeteered state without any effort. Exceptional physical strength on Llarinus' end or lack of durability increase on Rakih's end?

Sena chuckled to herself as she watched her new friend and rival run off. She walked off on her own, finding a place where she could sit down and think about everything that had happened today. As she did she took out her sword and began checking it and wiping it down after the match. This was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be. And I’ve already managed to make one great friend. I’ll have to talk more with the others when I get the chance, she thought to herself. After finishing with her sword she took out the talisman and simply looked at it thinking, You won’t have to worry anymore grandfather. I think I’ve found my place here and I’ll be sure to carry on with our promise. Wondering if her thoughts truly reached him.

Shalai finished reading, and tugged Darren aside

"Most of these aren't surprising, cultivation sounds like advanced suicide, so that's surprising, but I'll go through them all."

"Aura is more proficient in magic then I expected, but some of this sounds like she was holding back."

"Sena isn't much of a surprise either, but she doesn't seem to advanced in any aspects of magic."

"Victoria's power an demeanor isn't much of a surprise, we'd need more on her power to say for sure

"Nerron's powers seem different to most stonefallen I've seen, it warrants further study."

"Rakih sounds like he's committing advanced suicide, but ignoring that I've never seen possession, sounds like something we should watch out for."

"Palaria is #2 in magic study and development, and her magical strength follows suit, not much of a surprise, for a genius anyway."

"Llarinus is the Commander of the Diamondguard of the Stonefallen, if he's not #2 or #1 among them in power I'd be surprised." Shalai said in accordance to each individual's notes

"Say, there's a mole in the group... Would that make the information be leaked elsewhere? As it's pretty much giving the enemy an advantage given their knowledge..." she said, taking a sip before slumping on another chair

"Now...That could be highly unlikely given there should be precautions that Shalai, the leader, and many members of this group had places beforehand..."

"On one hand, that would be dangerous. On the other hand, a mole would be able to do the same thing I do and simply observe your fights. It may take longer but it will give similar results" Darren explained.
