Abnormal Moon

Normally, visitors from outside the school and students from other schools are not allowed to visit each other, so the people sitting in the audience must be students of Seidoukan.

However, of course, there are spies from other schools, and there's no way to stop that. So the results of this simulation battle will inevitably spread and be seen by students from other schools.

"After all, the opponent in this simulated battle is quite eye-catching!"

Eurythm came to his side, exuding an aura of readiness for battle. She looked at Roy and gave him a teasing smile.

"What's wrong? Aren't you nervous?"

"I've never seen anything like this before."

Roy smiled slightly, standing in the center of the stage in front of more than 10,000 people. It was indeed a novel experience, but when he thought about how he would definitely be able to step onto an even bigger stage in the future, Roy relaxed in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go!"

Roy took the lead and walked towards the stage.

The First Comprehensive Arena is the largest of the three arenas at Seidoukan Academy. The stage has a diameter of over 100 meters and is surrounded by a defensive barrier that is completely enclosed. Its power far exceeds that of the Huang-style weaponry, effectively preventing the battle on the field from affecting the audience.

"Good afternoon, everyone! Oh my, I never expected to have the honor of witnessing a simulation battle of this level before the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival. I am the Minister of the News Department, and I am very honored to be the announcer for this simulation battle. Everyone is welcome to join the News Department! And the commentator next to me is none other than the legendary Student Council President, Miss Claudia Enfield! It is truly an honor to have the busy Thousand-Eyed Alliance Leader here!"

"Hehe, you flatter me. It's just that there are some people I care about on both sides in this simulation battle who will serve as commentators."

"I see. Anyway, thank you for your support, Student Council President. I'm sure you'll deliver a fantastic commentary! Okay, we can see that both teams have entered the arena. Wow, what a star-studded lineup!"

The images and identities of the four contestants were already printed on the large screen above the arena.

Upon seeing that impressive lineup, the audience erupted in cheers.

Entering from the left-hand passage were a young man with white hair and a gentle demeanor, and a young woman with rose-colored hair and a dignified air.

"The two on the left are a special admission student and Her Highness the Princess! Princess Yulis, ranked fifth among the twelve at the Star Guide Hall, is also known as the Flame Witch. She is famous for her gorgeous and diverse moves and can be considered a true powerhouse. The other special admission student has only just enrolled, but judging from past practices, I believe she will also be a master worthy of being listed in the Book of Priests!"

"Hehe, everyone can look forward to the special recruits bringing us even more outstanding battles!"

Claudia, standing on the commentary platform, covered her lips and gave a calm, faint smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Koichiro Toudou, with a face as cold as ice, stood at the very top of the audience, a height that allowed him to take in the entire scene.

Upon hearing Claudia's voice on the radio, his face darkened, and his eyes twitched violently for a while.

"Just you wait, I'm going to win this simulation battle. You can be smug for now!"

Koichiro Toudou lowered his head and let out a chilling laugh from his throat, like a wild beast tearing at its prey.

In the field.

Emerging from the passage on the right were a silver-haired girl with a real sword hanging from her waist and a girl with long, straight black hair and an indifferent expression.

"Oh my! The lineups appearing from the right are just as impressive, if not more so! The number one ranked swordsman, Fujiwara Kirin, is arguably the strongest swordsman in Seidoukan. Her close-combat prowess is unmatched; her strength is self-evident! The other is number seven ranked swordsman, Tohno Hyakushiki, also known as Thunder. She wields the Pure Star Blade Nayuta Demon Bow, making her the undisputed No. 1 among all the ranged fighters at Seidoukan! The strongest close-combat and the strongest ranged attack—this must be the strongest combination in Seidoukan Academy, right?!"

"hehe."

"Ah, no, what I mean is, actually, Miss Claudia's strength may not be inferior to Kirin Toudou's..."

"It's alright. It's true that Kirin Toudou's swordsmanship is far superior to mine."

On the commentary platform, under the pressure of Claudia's squinting eyes, the news anchor was already drenched in sweat.

In the field.

"Tono Hyakushiki, I never expected that the helper that Toudou Koichiro found would be you?"

As Yulis looked at the girl with long, straight black hair opposite her, her expression gradually turned serious.

Her fighting spirit gradually solidified, and her initial high spirits turned into hesitation. Looking closely, one could see beads of sweat on Yulis's forehead.

“There’s nothing strange about it. Mr. Toudou Koichiro offered me a condition that I couldn’t refuse, that’s all.”

Tono Mochihime smiled slightly, which could be considered as a way of defending herself.

"Furthermore, I'm also very interested in your fifth-place ranking in the academy. This simulation battle should be able to gauge your strength, right? Julis, you only have a few days left before you can firmly hold onto fifth place."

"Hmph, everyone knows your ways."

Yulis sneered, offering no response to Tono Hyakushiki's provocation.

Chapter 167 The Monster Has Been Unleashed (43, I've found a good reason to make up for yesterday's chapter)

"Be careful, Tohno Momohime is very strong. Her Nayuta Magic Bow is terrifying and can easily achieve all-round attacks covering the entire field. However, her melee ability is almost non-existent, and the Nayuta Magic Bow also has great drawbacks, which makes it impossible for her to fight for a long time... I probably won't be able to intercept all her attacks. You should try to be careful of her sneak attacks. Sorry."

Yulis lowered her voice and warned Roy.

Her tone was full of resentment.

The two-on-two battle mode was supposed to train teammates' cooperation skills, but they had only been a team for a day and didn't have the time, so they decided to each take on one person: Roy would take on Kirin Toudou and Yulis would take on the other person.

Even Yulis felt immense pressure facing Tohno Mojiki as her opponent; she knew she couldn't possibly stop all of Tohno Mojiki's attacks. The title of the school's strongest ranged attacker was no joke.

They had agreed to take turns carrying one enemy, but she couldn't hold her own against her opponent. This made Yulis feel like she was holding Roy back, and her strong sense of pride made her feel very bad.

Roy nodded without saying anything.

"Huh? Should I say this here? Uh... okay, before the match starts, there's one more thing I need to tell you all!"

The announcer on the commentary booth gasped in surprise, as if Claudia had slipped something to her.

"Everyone, it seems that the two sides in this simulated battle have also made a bet. Roy & Yulis's representative is Roy, and Toudou Kirin & Tono Mochahime's representative is Toudou Koichiro. The representative of the losing side in this simulated battle must immediately disappear from the training city and be prohibited from ever approaching this city again... Who is it that proposed this bet? His ruthlessness fills me with intense fear!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

Everyone who comes to this academic city is filled with dreams and hopes, hoping to achieve success and fame here. To gamble with never being able to get close to it for a lifetime is just too cruel.

Not only are they ruthless towards their enemies, but they are even more ruthless towards themselves!

Above the audience, Toudou Koichiro's expression grew increasingly grim.

That brat actually told everyone about it!

If he had lost this time, he could have simply humbled himself, offered an apology, and let the matter drop. He could have continued to stay in this martial arts city afterward.

But Claudia's move completely thwarted his plan.

Now everyone in the Star Guide Hall knows that if he loses, he will have to leave the Academy Battle City. If Kirin really loses, but he still shamelessly stays here, wouldn't he be ridiculed by all the students?

Alright, alright! You're so sure that arrogant brat will win, aren't you!

But I'll see how you guys handle the combination of the strongest melee fighter and the strongest ranged attacker from the Star Guide Hall!

If you lose and beg me on your knees, I still won't let you off!

“—The game begins!”

After a long wait, the words "Match Started" appeared overhead, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the arena.

"Bloom, Nine-wheeled Dancing Flame Flower!"

At the start of the match, Yulis took the initiative, with nine small fireballs emerging from all directions in front of her and flying towards Tono Mochihime under her control.

The power of the Pure Starry Sky Armor far surpasses that of the Witch and the Magician. In a head-on confrontation, the Witch would most likely be no match for the Pure Starry Sky Armor.

However, the Pure Starry Sky Armament has a weakness: it requires the injection of enough Star Power to unleash its moves. The process of injecting Star Power itself consumes a tiny bit of the maximum activation time, while the Witch can prepare her moves in an instant. As long as she seizes this opportunity, she can gain the upper hand!

Did you think I wasn't prepared at all?

Tono Mochizuki smiled, a confident smile on her face.

Suddenly, she grew a short height, and upon closer inspection, the pair of pure white boots she was wearing suddenly unfolded, revealing four roller skates on the bottom, transforming them into a pair of roller skates.

The thrusters on her shoes suddenly spewed out blue flames, propelling her away from Yulis in an instant and sending her rapidly fleeing towards the edge of the arena.

At the same time, she raised the black magic bow in her hand high into the sky.

"Take this! Hundred Arrows!"

In an instant, a golden arrow of light shot into the sky, then suddenly burst open in mid-air, transforming into three hundred arrows of light that swept across the opposite side of the field!

Three hundred light arrows rained down like raindrops, each one capable of piercing steel. Such an attack would leave even a Star Pulse Generation utterly powerless to fight after taking such a blow.

"Bloom, Bird of Paradise Lamp Wings!"

However, Yulis was already prepared. The moment Tono Mochihime ran out, she had already spread her fiery wings and charged forward instead of dodging to the side!

"He's charging at me on his own initiative?"

Tono Mozuki was startled and quickly ran around the field.

Her control over her roller skates was exceptionally smooth, and the propellers on her skates made her move as elusive as a slippery eel.

the other side.

Kirin Toudou drew her beloved sword, Senba Kiri, while Roy also pulled out a sword-shaped weapon called the Radiant Armament, activating it by injecting stellar power, transforming it into a light sword.

But the two of them stood there subtly, without moving.

"How strange, the special admission student is actually assigned to fight against Gale Blade Lightning, who is ranked number one in the Star Guide Hall? Shouldn't the stronger Flame Witch be paired with Gale Blade Lightning?"

"Hehe, perhaps your judgment is wrong. Since they've allocated it this way, it can only mean one thing—Roy is stronger than Yulis, isn't it?"

"I see. As a special recruit, Roy's strength is top-notch, right? But Hua Yan Witch and Lei Ming are already locked in a fierce battle, so why haven't these two started yet?"

"They seem to be having a conversation..."

Claudia muttered to herself, her tone inexplicably melancholic.
