Dahlia let out a breath and crossed her arms, looking between the two of them with clear interest.
"Alright," she said. "Now I really want to know."
She pointed at Clara first.
"You. How did you suddenly turn into liquid and gas? One moment you were solid, the next you were untouchable."
Then she turned to Eliza.
"And you. How did you disappear and reappear like a ghost? You didn't even leave a trace."
Eliza stayed quiet, as usual, simply watching.
Clara, on the other hand, smirked.
"Before that…" she said slowly.
Suddenly, Clara rushed forward.
Dahlia raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"
Clara grinned wide. "Time for me to do what I promised."
She lifted her hand.
"I've awakened my [Unique Physique], so I can finally smack you, Senior Sister Dahlia."
Dahlia burst out laughing. "Oh? Let's see if you can."
She didn't dodge.
Instead, Dahlia swung her arm forward.
Her hand transformed instantly, dragon scales forming as her fingers became sharp claws.
She struck Clara head-on.
