We don't really know if it was a fair fight or not, actually. One pannel, we see Mel binded and about to get a beating, the next it was the reverse, with no clue about what happened. For all we know, she might have been helped somehow, making it a not so fair fight.

Re: Magick Chicks 09-11-12 Forbidden magicks
Well, apologies for getting all 'meta' and what all, but these students have to be accustomed to winning some and losing some. If any of them are going to get all flustered or whatever about one individual battle, they have a serious need to chill out.
A child of 5 could understand this. Fetch me a child of 5.
If you can get to 50 without growing up, you don't have to.
There are very few personal problems which can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

Re: Magick Chicks 09-11-12 Forbidden magicks
Competitions within the archers, ninja or sewing club are likely reglemented to go along fair sets of rules. But the students' abilities differ too much for any true and fair competition between disciplines.Chantelune wrote: We don't really know if it was a fair fight or not, actually.
During these fights against random opponents, the magic cadets suffer from one big handicap. They need some time to invoke their spells, whereas both espers and the combat corps can attack instantly. The most common way around this involves preparing your spells before the fight actually begins. Jacqui did this when fighting Chastity. Leandro did not object against her breaking any rules by working her illusions before the fight started or by even involving Sandi.
These fights are not set up with any regards to fairness at all. The students' are supposed to fight heroically, in the sense of persevering against unknown foes and overwhelming odds.
Unlike Melissa and Jacqui, Cerise hasn't become aware of her handicap at all. In her last fight, Callie's hint helped her. But she was saved by her ability to take her beating from Zora and invoke her spells regardless.
Instead of stealing that book, she'd better learn how to get protecting amulets she can slap on in an instant, similar to the one Ash used. Then she'd be out of character, though.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. It's just that I remember people saying Cerise cheated or didn't win fairly when she was helped by Callie vs the puppyphobiac.

Re: Magick Chicks 09-11-12 Forbidden magicks
Ugh. Getting tired of all the Cerise-hate. Having been in a similar position - under the thumb of a power-hoarding peer who actively sniped at my self-confidence and sabotaged any efforts I made to shine on my own merits - my sympathies are firmly w/ Darkshade.
If Melissa actually treated Tiff w/ respect (thank you for helping me prepeare & train & succeed in thumping the Combat Corps @ their own game. I never could've done it w/o your help) and regarded her coven of Jaqui and Cerise as friends (Guys, I need to summon Hekate. I don't trust anyone else & I'd be grateful for your backing me up. Will you help me?) instead as her minions forever at her beck and call, yeah - Cerise's behaviour would be nothing but straight-up bitchiness & would warrant the contempt. But she's up against a self-absorbed jerk-face cut-a-bitch Mean Girl who makes Jennifer Rubin look like a model of magnanimity, so all the more power to her for reaching for the cheat codes.

However, Melissa at least cared about Faith not getting harmed, even after the whole mind-rape episode. Cerise visibly improved after Skye's flip-out, but so far inconclusively.
I'll count the necessity to link one of the most immature internet sandboxes for such an exotic thing as "magnanimity" as self-nunchucking.Absinthe Green wrote:magnanimity
