Fight

Hearing Alice's blatant provocation, the corner of Cedric's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He chuckled, his gaze falling upon her before he spoke:

"Haha, do you really think you're stronger than me? Your fire and my metal are of equal rank, so there's no way you can easily melt it."

Fire could indeed melt metal—that was a fact. However, the key factors were the metal's resistance and the temperature of the flames.

At that moment, Alice did something entirely unexpected. She suddenly pushed Nora forward, causing him to stumble a step ahead.

Nora, still confused by the situation, then heard Alice's voice from behind him:

"Go on, defeat him for me."

The moment those words reached his ears, his mind went blank. He saw no possible scenario in which he could emerge victorious against Cedric.
