Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

"I understand, it's normal for her to be wary of people given her experiences."

"Only a super righteous and super cool girl like Kiana could easily gain her trust."

"Unlike me, I'm too weak."

Bai Yan feigned a sigh, but out of the corner of his eye, he was observing Kiana's reaction.

"It's okay, I'll talk to her properly. Mei isn't a bad person, she'll understand eventually."

Kiana is still the best.

"That is!"

After a brief chat, Bai Yan hurriedly returned to the stands before the match began.

"What did Sister Xiaoyan go to do?" Bronya asked curiously when she saw him return.

"I'll twist a rope for Kiana and see how she behaves in a bit."

Bronya blinked, a strange sense of anticipation rising within her.

Of course, this is not a positive expectation.

For the first time today, she didn't hug the Houerjiuqituanyinsan (8)6mu doll, but instead hugged Bai Yan's arm.

Raiden Mei regretted not going to find Kiana like Shirohiko had done, and now she was just secretly listening to the information Shirohiko brought back.

A moment later, as the host Rita restored order, the competition finally officially began.

Anna was the first to go on stage. Her opponent was a Valkyrie from the Far East Branch whom Bai Yan didn't recognize. Her overall strength rating was around the median.

The outcome was a foregone conclusion. Even though Anna's abilities were mediocre among the examiners, it was still a game-changer for the average member of the Far East branch.

After all, they are the younger generation of the Shaniat family.

The following matches were arguably the most agonizing time for Theresa.

The two men, one sitting on pins and needles on the stage and the other relaxed and at ease, seemed to be watching completely different programs.

The Valkyries from the Far East branch suffered defeat after defeat until Fu Hua appeared and won a small round.

Fu Hua's opponent is Anna, who has little experience.

"The Valkyries at St. Freya Academy are quite good."

Otto offered his praise without any apparent reaction, but even Theresa couldn't convince herself it was true.

Theresa simply slumped in her seat, gazing at the sky, completely blocking out the battle unfolding on the ring.

"Let me see what the next match is... Oh, it's finally Kiana Kaslana?" Otto muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, she suddenly stood up.

Kiana has a chance, because for some reason, her niece has suddenly become more motivated recently.

Bai Yan is there for academic classes, and Fu Hua is there for practical classes. Although their improvement is limited, they are generally stronger than the vast majority of people in the academy.

We have to win this round!

"The opponent I'm facing is... oh, what a shame, it's Durandal."

Otto looked at the screen and let out a very regretful sound.

"..."

Theresa went back again.

In the arena.

Two people, one in gold and one in white, came onto the stage from opposite sides.

However, in the instant their eyes met, Durandal froze.

Kiana carried her lance onto the stage with a strange smile on her face, as if to say, "Surprised?"

Durandal turned to look in Bai Yan's direction and saw that the latter was holding a bowl of popcorn and sharing it with Bronya, while watching the stage with great interest.

"You are the strongest in Destiny?"

Upon hearing Kiana speak, Durandal replied rather displeasedly, "Call me whatever you want."

"Do you know Liu Yingqi (Part 1) Woba Shiba Xiaoyan?"

"Not very familiar with each other."

"Humph……"

Kiana clenched her hands, a strange pressure rising in her heart.

The pressure reached its peak as the referee announced the start of the match.

She was clearly full of openings, so why didn't I dare to make a move?

Never mind, let's fight!

Kiana grabbed her lance and charged forward with a powerful thrust.

Durandal tilted her head, as if she had seen something strange, and casually flicked her wrist.

The white-haired girl was instantly pushed aside, but the momentum of her charge was difficult to counteract, and she continued to charge past her target.

However, just as Durandal turned around with doubt in her heart, a practice lance came whistling towards her.

She instinctively turned to the side, naturally dodging the attack.

But she realized what was happening the next moment.

"That guy Bai Yan taught me the counter-attack technique?"

Yulandel's expression was somewhat cold; Bai Yan had also taught her before.

Essentially, it's just a bunch of quacks giving advice, but childhood habits carry over to the present, and since the logic of this move isn't flawed, it has become her signature move.

Kiana uses dual pistols, but now she insists on using a lance when fighting me...

Durandal is serious.

She wielded her lance, easily deflecting the continuous attacks.

Extreme speed and perfect coordination, no need for fancy tricks, just pure, violent aesthetics.

The combined attack of man and gun was like a meteor—

Da da da……

The meteor came to an abrupt halt, and two unidentified flying objects, one on the left and one on the right, were spinning and spraying ammunition.

Although the audience was protected by the energy light curtain, they still subconsciously bent down to avoid it.

Durandal was dumbfounded.

However, to her even greater astonishment, a third unidentified flying object followed closely behind.

The white fluffy creature crouched low and glided to Durandal's side, suddenly throwing a punch.

"Won!"

Kiana smiled.

On the platform, Theresa suddenly became excited when Kiana threw out her twin pistols.

She clenched her small fists, silently cheering for Kiana.

At this moment, Kiana is just one punch away from victory!

One punch!

Even Otto opened his mouth slightly, extremely surprised by this scene.

All the Valkyries watching held their breath.

Is Lady Durandal going to lose?!

Raiden Mei stood up abruptly, her anticipation evident.

Bronya opened her mouth wide, and the popcorn in her hand slipped from her fingertips.

Only Bai Yan ate his snacks nonchalantly, shaking his head as he ate.

"That's acrobatics."

The golden phantom only blurred for a moment, and its movement trajectory was not visible.

The two pistols flew through the air without making contact with any enemy, gradually losing momentum and falling silently.

Kiana's fist froze in mid-air, and the victory came to an abrupt end.

She was hit hard in the face by a fist, and her whole body was sent flying.

"Pfft—"

Kiana flew backwards, tracing a beautiful arc in the sky.

The crowd quickly parted to form a circle, and the girl passed through the energy light curtain and finally fell off the stage, facing the floor.

Volume 1: Chapter 33: Anti-Entropy Invasion? Are you crazy?!

Durandal looked at her fist, then at Kiana who was getting up, grimacing and rubbing her face, and shook her head.

It’s over in seconds?

Then his gaze fell upon the audience.

Bai Yan wasn't in his seat; instead, he ran to Kiana's side, carrying spray, ointment, and bandages.

Durandal frowned.

Kiana, are you alright?

"I-I'm fine!"

Her face was swollen, and there were traces of blood seeping from her forehead where she had been in close contact with the floor.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"If the skin is scraped, disinfect it first and then apply medicine."

Kiana instinctively flinched, but quickly and quietly accepted the treatment for her wound.

Durandal looked away, strode off the stage, threw down her lance, opened a large bottle of sports drink, and gulped it down.

After finishing one bottle, fill the next one.

One bottle after another.

The Valkyries nearby whispered, "Does Lady Durandal really like super sour lemonade?"

"It provides an excessive amount of Vitamin C, and tastes slightly bitter..."

"This might be the most powerful form of scientific nutrition! Take notes!"

Durandal heard this, her face darkened, and finally she stormed back to the lounge alone.

After Rita provided commentary on the battle, she announced the winner.

Theresa collapsed completely, staring blankly at the sky.

She could only pray that the other branches wouldn't perform too well.

Just as the game was about to enter its second half, the sky darkened slightly, as if something had blocked the sunlight.

Everyone looked up and found it was just a dark cloud.

But the next moment.

Outside the arena, out of everyone's sight, the space surrounding all the players of Destiny was distorted and formed.

Then the area of ​​spatial distortion began to transform.

One by one, the heavy mechs deactivated from their quantum state, their dark cannon muzzles coldly pointing into the arena.

Looking around, the mechs resembled a sea of ​​metal, threatening to engulf everyone at any moment.

Upon discovering this sudden turn of events, everyone held their breath.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the mechs surrounding them, utterly incredulous.
