IDK. I really like these comics, and it's how I'm going to be writing Lucy over here so it would be good for y'all to have.
Special thanks to:

Y'all aint gonna see this but Lucy could've never been what she was without y'alls characters.

This was an interesting character introduction as well as a foray into a whole other tournament world. I wish we'd been afforded a better opportunity to get to know the opponents better outside of their motivations and why heavens most wanted was after them, but that seems a good note to take in with comics like this in future. If you're going to cart an OCT run to a new audience, does it make sense? Is what you're writing and portraying a 'well you had to be there to get it' or does it work well as a standalone?
I know you've noted that this is all the baggage and history this character us bringing to the test, but If all of this has occurred before, it leaves me to wonder why someone like this needs to go to school at all. She seems like a grizzled antihero that has been doing this for a while. Weathered by the ravages of what she's committed and enforced and set in her ways. Whatever methods, convictions and means she employs are locked in due to her tragic experiences and the gritty nature of the city she seeks to protect. She's lived a whole life and spent this entire OCT run picking up the pieces while also doing her upmost to punish wrongdoing. It hasn't always been perfect and its not without a bit of retributive bias, but that's just part of the makeup of an antihero
I think the bigger question I as a reader and hopefully you as an artist are asking is: Why is she regressing back to school to learn the basics?
If we're using the Test as a flashback of her origin point and where she began that makes WAY more sense. If anything due to the celestial nature maybe time isn't a factor for her? Maybe she gets visions of the acts she committed during this OCT. What happens to a bright eyed hopeful student looking to make a difference in the world when they realize what's in store for them isn't what they hoped?

This was a really great ride.
A good read to give us a feel for Lucy and who she is! I really got a feel for her.
I really liked your panel layouts and the fight scenes felt really dynamic. You really went all out for this OCT and it felt easy to read and follow along as someone not familiar with the other characters.
Thank you so much for sharing this comic with us! it was a great introduction!
