"The sixth match, Thunder Edge wins!"

After this match, the atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up. The six major academies then took turns sending out students to the stage to issue challenges, most of which ended in success. After all, in a challenge match format, those who stepped up to the stage surely had strategies and methods already in mind.

Like this, after more than a hundred matches, the vast majority of students could only win the match they challenged for, unable to defend the stage. Accordingly, the scores of the six major academies remained close throughout the early and middle stages of the competition.

However, as the contest moved into its later stages, the situation slowly began to change. At this point, each academy had fewer than ten competitors remaining and could not afford the luxury of choosing matches based on advantageous matchups. The rule was that if no one accepted the challenge, an academy would be designated by sequence to send up a member to compete.

"It’s our turn now,"

Following the conclusion of another battle, with a contestant from Swarm’s Reign Academy left standing on the stage, Tilan glanced back at her team members, pondering inwardly.

"I’ll go," Efnie stepped forward, noticing Tilan’s hesitation. She was almost at a Perfect Status in Sequence 4, ranking among the top five second-year students. She could be considered the ace of Edith Academy for tonight’s warm-up match.

"It seems we don’t have a better choice," Tilan blinked and nodded in approval of Efnie’s action.

Immediately, the famous Goldfish Princess unfolded her black cloak, revealing an orange to red gradient dress underneath, and her golden hair also slowly took on a blazing red hue.

As she walked, the ginkgo leaves at her feet ignited, transforming into spinning Flame Vortexes that rose into the air, and then gradually turned into dark red ashes behind her.

"Edith Academy, second year, Efnie."

When she entered the arena, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd. All eyes were fixed on the clear, magnified holographic images in the sky above the treeline. The beautiful Goldfish Princess, with her fiery appearance, received a warm and enthusiastic welcome.

"Wow, we really get to see Efnie take the stage today. I thought she wasn’t participating."

"I’ve seen Efnie perform before. I hope she can win several matches this time too."

"She seems even more beautiful than last year, just like she’s shining brightly."

Even though she was still a student, Efnie’s fame was similar to that of some stars. She was like a child star who became famous while young and, coupled with the aura of her Talent and the protection of her family background, people had a favorable impression of her, considering her much cleaner and purer than most celebrities in the entertainment industry.

"She’s really popular, huh." The girl from Swarm’s Reign Academy, facing the cheers for her opponent’s arrival, clearly displayed jealousy and reluctance.

However, Efnie didn’t pay attention to these sneers and jeers. Perhaps it was her experiences throughout the year that helped her maintain a calm state of mind.

"Let the match begin!"

After the referee’s announcement, the opposing girl quickly spun, waving her rapier like a conductor’s baton. A swarm of humming bees gleamed as they attacked Efnie from every direction.

"Bee Commanding Secret Art: Dance of the Misleading Sting!"

Like a conductor of an orchestra, the girl waved her rapier and the buzzing bees’ stingers turned red, scattering and closing in to interfere with the surrounding Aijeika Particle environment, making it difficult for Efnie to accurately pinpoint their trajectories with her mind.

A typical student might have struggled with this, getting stung amidst the chaos and suffering from the venom, or they might have been unable to utilize their full strength because of the Transcendent bees’ interference and been defeated by finding an opening.

But since Efnie had the courage to step up, she naturally came fully prepared.

"Wildfire Secret Method - Pervasive Fire Serpent."

Confronted with the attacking swarm, Efnie raised her palm and a ring of fire arose from her feet, surging and constantly changing until it formed into several proud serpent heads.

These Fire Serpents quickly separated from the ring and slithered swiftly, consuming the bees around Efnie in a matter of seconds. Then, with a sweep of her hand, Efnie directed the serpents to swarm out and chase down her opponent, causing her great distress. Despite trying to dodge repeatedly, she couldn’t escape and ultimately gave in before her hair caught fire and was ruined.

Even among a group of geniuses, Efnie, with her Perfect Level Talent, was extremely unique and powerful. It was just that Tilan, her reference point, outshone her so much that other members of the club had unknowingly overlooked her.

Not long after the contestant from Swarm’s Reign Academy stepped down, another challenger took to the stage.

"Saint Yingo, second year, Shankla."

A girl with light green twin ponytails jumped onto the stage, her attire consisting of a bubbly short skirt, with a style leaning towards cute, reminiscent of a white porcelain teapot with light green and golden embellishments.

Like Efnie, Shankla was proficient in Transcendent Professions related to flames, which was probably why she was sent out, as it would allow her to better withstand high temperatures and neutralize Efnie’s advantage.

Empty-handed, Shankla adopted a stance with clenched fists and open arms, seemingly skilled in martial arts and combat techniques. Then, a faint golden mist of flames emanated from her, insulating her against the fiery red flames coming from the outside.

"It’s about to start, big sister!"

She then leapt lightly into the air, her snow-white legs wrapped in long socks hanging upside down, then adjusted her posture and came flying down with a kick.

"Wildfire Secret Method - Coiling Python."

A violent inferno rose from beneath Efnie’s skirt hem, causing her hair and clothes to billow. The rough flames then took on a vague semblance of a python, twisting its body before charging directly at Shankla, who was diving down with a flying kick.

"It’s useless, ’Purifying Spirit Aura - Body Shield’~" Shankla shouted lightly as the golden mist around her body surged, and then she plunged headfirst into the giant fire python.

The golden mist swirling around her mingled with the crimson flames, creating a barrier-like separation, before safely escorting Shankla straight towards Efnie’s position.

"Hey!"

Efnie had to dodge sideways as Shankla’s slender calf came chopping down. Then, with a flurry of punches and kicks, Efnie couldn’t find a good way to counter for a moment—after all, Shankla was protected by the golden spirit mist and wasn’t afraid of being burnt by flames.

But that wasn’t the most troublesome part. Whenever Efnie was hit by Shankla, the special golden spirit mist would seep inside her, causing the Magic Power in her body to become sluggish and inactivated, severely diminishing her strength.

There was no other choice.

In the midst of exchanging blows, Efnie pulled away and a violent explosion of flames suddenly burst forth, obscuring the view and allowing her to break free.

She then parted her fiery orange skirt and pulled out a specially made pistol from the side of her thigh. Although doing so might seem unladylike and lacking in Elegance, since it was a competition, she didn’t care about those niceties.

Aiming at Shankla, who was once again charging towards her, Efnie took aim and fired three shots. The scarlet bullets, enhanced by her Magic Power, hit Shankla, who was up close, in an instant.

Even though the golden spirit mist was extremely resistant to flames, it couldn’t withstand physical attacks like bullets. After three shots, Shankla fell to the ground in pain, clutching her leg and raising her hand.

"Ow, I give up."

Just like that, when everyone thought Efnie was going to capsize and lose, an unexpected reversal came, which left many spectators so surprised they almost dropped their jaws.

"As expected, guns are more effective." Read the latest on novelbuddy

In the Crystal Lattice Academy’s camp, such clapping could be heard. They were, after all, the academy that used guns the most in tonight’s showdown.

Though this contest was somewhat surprising, the subsequent ones didn’t have many ups and downs.

Efnie defended the arena, defeating eight more opponents before she had to withdraw due to excessive consumption of Magic Power. Thanks to her achievements, Edith Academy now had a lead in the score, far ahead of the other Academies.

"It seems I need to take this a bit more seriously."

In front of Saint Yingo’s camp, Suochensi pulled the sword planted in the ground and tossed it to a student behind him.

"This time, it’s your turn."

"Yes, Council President Suochensi!"

A somewhat naive-looking but sturdy and tall boy picked up the Longsword, slinging it over his shoulder as he stepped up to the stage.

"Saint Yingo, second year, Yan Hu."

After saying that, he drove the sword into the center of the stage, causing a spreading gust of wind.
