33rd Wheel of Fate [Action]

[Should anyone happen to stop by at the battle dome later today, they might just catch a certain silver-haired girl in the lobby, tinkering around with the console. Upon closer inspection, ν-13 seems to be... scanning through the list of possible scenarios. It looks like she's having a difficult time picking something specific. Eventually,

[Nel really just came by to have a look at the dome and see if she can figure out how it works, but when she notices the simulation going on she decides to have a look.

She's suitably impressed by the power Nu's demonstrating, though she's not sure what exactly it means, since she doesn't really know how strong those creatures really are. They seem like grunts to Nel. Regardless, the speed at which Nu moves is reason enough to be impressed, even for a warrior who can move at sonic speeds for short periods.]

[The wolf-like creatures really aren't all that impressive: the way they behave is much like what one would expect of a mindless beast, simply attacking anything they stumble across. Hardly a troublesome foe, but they do make for effective target practice, as they move relatively quickly themselves.

...Target practice seems to be the main reason the silver-haired girl has chosen this particular simulation, actually, if the fact that she seems to be focused on far enough away from the creatures to volley blades at them is any indication. And for someone who looks so... harmless aside from her armor, she's doing surprisingly well no less.]

[It isn't too difficult to figure out the point of this practice. Nel starts amusing herself by trying to predict which one of the critters will get picked off by the next attack. She's actually pretty good at it.

She's never been one to judge power by appearance (heck, look at herself), but she's still surprised at how easily she's doing this. Either the wolves are frailer than they look, or she's got power to go with the speed.]

[It's likely the latter. The wolves aren't exactly frail - the mutations from seithr exposure have made them stronger than one might expect. But when your opponent is someone literally made for combat... you can hardly call that a fair match up, really.

Eventually, once she manages to catch a small group of them in her line of sight, ν-13 will attempt something else. Rather than simply use the eight blades hovering at her back to attack, or volleying blades at the creatures, she'll call up a portal in front of her, in line with the group. Moments later, it launches an entire barrage of blades at them - about 20 in total. A bit overkill, maybe, but with how rarely she gets to use this particular move, practicing it a bit can't hurt.]

Where did she get those blades...? [There are a number of other questions about how she pulled that off, but that's the first thing Nel thinks of.]

[Who knows? ...Well, someone familiar with her weapon of choice would, but details, details. Regardless, for now, she's just going to go back to fighting the wolves normally until the simulation slowly starts to wind down. Looks like she's hit the set time limit.]
