I don't want our characters to be that strong- not for a while anyway. Carol would indeed be dead from a blow like that, but I'm going to give her the strongest armor there is,
plot armor and say that there weren't any broken, or protruding bones, and instead swap it with a minor concussion, plus a few bruises.. and no broken wall lmao.
You have the right of it, Mr Fishykarp, I do want this battle to barely be won and with no casualties. It was meant to be the battle that made them realize that even though Resonants are powerful tools, it still takes effort for them to achieve victory, without the proper training.
So yeah,
@Foxex I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from utterly demolishing these second years. I want some teamwork in these battles, and I want the first years to still be inexperienced for quite some time. Gradual growth is the best for long stories.
