Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

(Maria's POV)

It was amazing!

Nia was incredible!

Against all odds from everyone else, Nia overpowered Aquamarine, showing off some amazing and cool new moves.

That's my girl! I'm so proud of her!

Remembering how she used to be a timid woman that couldn't defend herself before, someone that was almost killed by some damn guards in her city.

And now seeing what she had become, what we've all helped her become, a strong woman, someone confident on her own strength, with a clear resolve.

She was so beautiful when she fought too!

Okay I might be fangirling a bit too much, let's leave it at that for now.

Professor Hendrick quickly raised his hand, ending these matches.

"And the winners of these matches are Arachne, Alma, and Nia! An incredible flawless victory from class 1B!"

The next battle was going to begin soon after, and we saw the participants quickly go back to their seats. Aquamarine and Seraphin were promptly healed as well. Alma had already healed Fiera, she was too nice of a girl.

"Welcome back!" I said. "You did amazing Nia, Alma! Arachne! Well done! So much well done, well doner than done!"

"Hehehe, that guy really surprised me a bit!" said Arachne. "But I got through his tricks at the end…"

"It was amazing!" said Nyx. "You were like, trapped inside some mirror dimension thingy, right?!"

"Yeah it was nice to train my abilities too, and I got more used to what I could do…" nodded Arachne. "Hmm, maybe we should befriend that student, so he can let us go inside that place again to train!"

"Oh wow that sounds like a great idea!" said Nyx, nodding. "What do you think Celes?"

"I… Uh, don't know if that's a good idea…" Celes muttered. "Also, congrats mam- big sis!"

"Heheh, I did my best! Was I amazing?" giggled Nia, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"You were!" said Partner. "You showed that girl, well done."

"I feel like it was a bit of an overkill…" said Arthur. "But well done, nonetheless. I'm glad you guys didn't go soft like us, hah."

"Heh, you're not soft, you simply couldn't help it with someone like me!" Giggled Katherine right by my brother's side, fully believing he had been charmed by her beauty or something instead.

"…" Arthur just remained in silence with her at his side, he had stopped even replying to her strange words.

Though I noticed he was blushing a bit, was her charm truly taking effect, or was he just embarrassed that she wouldn't leave him alone?!

My brother was truly a mystery, with that poker face of his!

"Well done Alma! That was so great!" said Emily. "I can't believe how much you ended evolving with that battle! I even saw your weapon changing somehow! What the hell was that?!"

"I-I don't know, I just put everything I had… and I really didn't want to lose," said Alma.

"It was amazing… It was as if you finally showed us the real you," smiled Sofia. "Well done! I never doubted you could win! Even when everyone else seemed to be expecting you to lose, ahah…"

"Fiera was strong," I nodded. "But Alma had the elemental advantage, though that alone wouldn't had helped her win. It seems it is more of her own imagination and ingenuity, right? You were able to discover even more of the hidden powers within your Dream Weapon."

"T-That's right!" nodded Alma. "Though I am still nervous, I'll continue doing my best… I-I still can't believe I won though. It is so crazy… Once I'm free I'll call grandma and my uncle! I bet they'll be so happy!"

"Yeah I bet they will," nodded Partner. "I have to be honest, you surprised me there, Alma. Well done."

"It was an incredible fight where the two of you placed everything you had into the table," said Lucifer. "An incredible performance of strength, pride, and resolve."

"You were great!" Emeraldine nodded. "Let me invite you to anything you want to eat later, Alma!"

"E-Everyone… thank you so much," Alma blushed, feeling embarrassed.

As the next battle arrived, we saw some new faces appear, or well, some of the previous fighters that came to greet their opponents, which they lost against.

Aquamarine was the first to reach us, addressing Nia.

"Nia."

"A-Aquamarine?! Ah… I didn't expect you to…"

"Calm down, I am not here to fight or something."

"Eh?"

"I came to simply say that I am… sorry."

"Huh? Why?"

"I underestimated you, and looked down on you based on your appearance… I thought you weren't a good fighter, that you couldn't compare to my strength and my techniques. But I was very wrong and lost because of that."

"Aquamarine…"

The knight girl then bowed her head as an apology.

"I'm really sorry! And I also wanted to say that it was a wonderful battle," she sighed. "I learned a lot, and I was able to see things through new perspectives as we fought. This might've been the first battle to have pushed me this much before."

"R-Really… Well, I'm glad I could have helped somehow," Nia smiled. "And you don't need to apologize, everything's alright! Your fighting style, magic, and your dream weapon were all very wonderful as well."

"I also believe your spear techniques, and the dream weapon itself, were incredible," said Aquamarine. "Before everything, I barely knew anything about you, but it seems that class 1B will keep surprising me, there are so many hidden dragons!"

"Perhaps, yes," nodded Nia. "Thank you for coming here to talk with me!"

As they talked, I looked at someone else arriving, a tall, muscular girl with fiery red hair, Fiera. She came to greet Alma with a serious expression.

"Alma…"

"E-Eek! F-Fiera?! Have you come for your revenge?!"

Alma cried in surprise as Fiera patted her shoulders gently to call for her attention.

"C-Calm down! I didn't come to hit you or something… I am an honorable warrior after all," Fiera crossed her arms. "That battle we had… Uh, yeah, it didn't go well for me at the end. But I don't think I ever fought someone that pushed me this far… I think I even grew strong from that."

"Oh, really?" wondered Alma.

"Yeah, it was surprisingly amazing," nodded Fiera with a smile. "Though I still feel frustrated…"
