Preparing for the Tournament

Sophia, Angela, Kristoph and Joshua had all taken it a little easy after their time spent searching for Seraphina Harrison. Nevertheless, they were still eager to work hard to pay off their debts. Fortunately, they had a chance to relax during the semester break to celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival. They spent time hanging out and enjoying themselves and visiting family. From an ad, they heard about an event being held in the Games Arena where they could have the chance to win a prize for completing some challenges. Mutually agreeing that they had a solid chance at winning, they decided to undergo an intensive training regiment where they would practice their abilities, hit the gym and hone their minds. The students of the group especially made sure to finish their assignments ahead of time.

Part of the training regiment was to practice their abilities together in pairs. That way, different combinations of their team would allow them to excel in different ways. With Twinkle's help, he could create synergetic energy between Sophia with other people to create various combination attacks to which they would come up with unique names. Sophia and Kristoph had already come up with one previously: Shooting Star where Kristoph would use his nanobots to launch Sophia at a high speed as she lit up her palms with plasma. This was a technique they previously used against Damien Alabaster. Between Sophia and Joshua, they came up with "Astral Web" where Joshua could redirect some of Sophia's electricity into a large area of effect. Sophia and Angela together came up with Angel Beam where Sophia would form arcs of electricity to extend Angela's whip, giving her greater range.

Despite the cool names for their combination attacks, they had yet to settle on a team name, something which was required for entry into the tournament. They debated over it until they eventually ran out of time to submit their name. Spontaneously, Sophia came up with "Sophia Force". The clerk misheard her as saying, "So, PHIA Phorce?" Not quite picking up on the pronunciation error, Sophia confirmed it and the name was entered. By then, it was too late to change it, and their name was announced to the Games Arena as PHIA Phorce.

Round 1

The first round was Angela facing off against a young man named Dean Escuro, also known as the Death Hunter. Much like Kristoph, Dean was projecting himself using a vrNet hardlight avatar in the shape of a hooded rogue cloaked in night blue, wielding dual medieval crossbows as weapons. Only this time, he was doing so from the planet Salvaxes. Angela recognized Dean's avatar as being modeled after Dreaming Kingdoms and had a geek out before remembering that he was her opponent in the arena. However, this clue was what she needed in how to approach the fight. Angela had spent a significant amount of time in the Dreaming Kingdoms game and would be able to treat the fight as she would the game.

Angela quickly realized that Dean was able to move much faster than her making it difficult to keep up with him. The Games Arena's safety systems prevented lethal damages, though every time Angela got struck by a crossbow bolt, it stung like a bee. But through pure chance, Angela somehow managed to catch Dean with her whip, likely due to her flailing it around unpredictably. In that moment, Dean got caught off guard by suddenly being ensnared while Angela used the opportunity to decisively finishing him off. At the end of the match, Dean got very flustered, claiming that he had only been going easy on her. Despite Dean being seemingly upset, Angela caught him glancing back and smiling at her as he left to which she started blushing.

Round 3

The third round would be Joshua facing off against the renowned swordsman Vladimir Drachma.
