She calls Crux for answers.

    by: Konradoziom Author IconMail Icon
After digging a little deeper with Virgo's help, Lucy felt a little safer. Despite his situation, he didn't want to just give up the match, so they decided to call on their wisest spirit for advice.
“Grandpa Crux, do you know why I suddenly lost size and how to reverse it?” - Lucy asked.
Crux looked for information for a moment, then said - "It's a forgotten curse. When thrown at someone, it reduces their size to just a few centimeters. It remains undetected until activated by an external factor determined by the caster. However, it must be cast at least 20 minutes before activation, or the curse will be repelled by a person's natural defense mechanism. In the case of magicians, this time increases in relation to the magic power of the magician.”
“That's why I shrank when the gong sounded.” - Lucy said as she suddenly exploded in anger - "Wait, that means those bastards cheated again."
“Princess, please calm down. The amount of air here is limited.”
Lucy quickly calmed down and Crux continued - “Curse can be lifted quite easily. Simply add more magic than someone else to the caster's body. Alternatively, defeat the caster. You can also defend yourself against it by using magical items that add magical power. In the past, it was often used, but due to the relative ease of defense and its de-legalization, it was forced out of general memory several centuries ago. Even before the founding of the kingdom of Fiore.”
“So technically, it's not illegal.” - Lucy said a little sadly - "Grandpa Crux, does this give me any advantage? Any?”
Crux searched again for a while and found something - "Technically your power hasn't changed, but any spirits you take will be your size, just like any other spells. Additionally, time passes faster for you due to your smaller size. I would say 4-5 times faster.”
"With one step, Flare will do 100 times what I do in one, so that won't help much." - said Lucy.
“Princess, there is always Urano Metria.” - said Virgo - "In this size, you could easily cast it, before your enemy could counterattack."
“I don't even know what magic she uses, and at this size, if I don't hit her directly, I have no guarantee of defeating her. Even then, I have no such guarantee.” - said Lucy.
"I would also like to point out that the strength of Celestial Weapons has not changed." - said Crux.
"Bring another one, but a better one than the one you currently have, princess." - Virgo asked.
Lucy decided to think about it for a moment. Even with a better whip, her chance of winning was still minuscule. Technically she could have tried to fight, she had defeated Byro of Edolas when he turned into a giant squid, but her chances were still slim.

What does Lucy decide?

You have the following choices:

1. Fight

*Noteb*
2. Hide
