Chapter 211 The Match Ends

Semi-finals of the four-strong competition, Aisaya versus Rock.

“I never thought I’d run into you here.” Aisaya was dressed in a white shirt and leather pants, with a light, finely crafted leather armor over it. Although weapons were not allowed on the field, bronze-grade protective gear could still be worn freely.

For ordinary people, bronze-grade armor was quite good, capable of fending off most attacks. But for Extraordinary Beings above Sequence 3, this was merely an embellishment, not very useful. It would take reaching the level of silver-grade Extraordinary artifacts to make opponents feel that they had a tougher time dealing with them.

“I’m also surprised, but it’s good this way. I’ve disliked you for a long time,” Rock said, curling his lips slightly.

“Haha, that’s true.”

After entering Emanas, although both Aisaya and Rock stayed in the central school building, they rarely communicated with each other. On one hand, Aisaya was busy with socializing in the Griffin Duke’s circles and participating in club activities. On the other hand, Rock had been focusing solely on training, never initiating contact. As a result, after more than two months of enrollment, they had only crossed paths by chance once.

“How’s your academic progress? I heard that if the foundation isn’t solid, catching up to advance to the four major academic levels next year can be very difficult. Some students even spend two years in first grade just to build a strong foundation and find their suitable Extraordinary vocation.”

“Not bad, nor bad. But there’s no need for you to worry about it.” Rock shook his head, twirling his sword in a flourish.

“Let’s get started then.”

“Tsk, quite confident, huh? I was thinking of introducing a senior to help with your studies,” Aisaya lifted his greatsword, becoming serious.

At the signal from the referee, the two swiftly approached each other. The swords flashed through the air, the sound of clashes resounding continuously. After the blades met, slashes and tearing motions sent splinters of wood flying.

When they passed each other, scorched marks could even be seen on the wooden swords, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Both were well acquainted with each other. After some time of combat, they could sense that their opponent’s strength had significantly improved.

“I didn’t expect that spending time with those people wouldn’t have hindered your progress.” Rock wielded his dual swords faster and faster, seeking openings amidst the constant clashes.

“You don’t understand. With guidance from powerful seniors, one can avoid many detours.”

Yi held the greatsword, slightly out of breath but still full of excitement in his eyes.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Everyone understands those principles, but the problem is that your condescending attitude is really annoying.”

“Do you think everyone has your advantages?”

Rock infused his magic into his twin swords, and the wooden swords seemed to be coated with a dark red hue. In the air, they made no sound, moving like ghosts, and their speed increased by two levels. His figure gradually turned into a blur, leaving people unable to follow.

Unable to block effectively, Isaiah began to have various cuts and stabs from fine swords, and his leather armor became tattered.

He roared fiercely, his pupils emitting white light, and a white radiance seemed to emanate from him. Rock’s red sword encountered what felt like a strong repulsive force field, unable to cut or stab. At the same time, the greatsword with its force field swept across, making the air extremely thick and difficult to move through.

A dull thud echoed as the greatsword broke Rock’s red sword and then struck his arm, sending him flying like a rag doll, blood spraying in the air. Rock rolled on the ground, spitting blood, trying to stand up but trembling uncontrollably, failing several times. Finally, a greatsword was placed in front of his head, and the referee declared the match over.

“Sorry, this world is just so unfair. That lord gave me some extra blessings.”

Isaiah, feeling somewhat exhausted, lowered the greatsword and leaned on it, looking at his friend. Although he won, it wasn’t because he worked harder than Rock. Their talents were actually quite similar, but following the Eldest Son of the Griffin, he recently had access to many high-level sword techniques and also obtained an extraordinary [Purification Potion] to enhance his strength. This allowed him to perform techniques close to the Golden Rank and defeat his friend.

Rock angrily punched the ground and was carried away by medical personnel.

After resting for more than half an hour, the final match began, Isaiah versus Bumansa.

—

Looking at this classmate who looked like a neighborly girl, Isaiah was somewhat surprised because his opponent didn’t seem very formidable. He was considering whether to hold back during the match to avoid being humiliated again, like last time when he was hit by a pretty girl dozens of times, leaving marks on his face and being mocked by classmates and friends the next day.

“New Star Competition, the final match begins!”

Bumansa stood still, holding her wooden sword in one hand,宛如

Like the tranquil autumn waters. Aisaya wielded his greatsword, accompanied by fierce winds, charging towards his opponent.

Originally, the opponent was only at this level? Bomansa felt a deep sense of disappointment.

As she watched Aisaya approach, she could detect numerous flaws in his movements. The magic and strength he displayed were not impressive. Compared to the adorable young lady Elyor she had met that day, he fell far short.

A thin sword beam flashed by, and the greatsword was cleanly severed. His leather armor also shattered and scattered. Aisaya stared in shock at the longsword piercing his forehead, its sharpness unparalleled. A slight stinging pain made him dare not move.

“I… I surrender.” After hesitating and pondering, he finally exhaled and spoke in defeat.

The broken greatsword landed on the ground, bounced slightly, and then came to a silent stop.

Unable to see the opponent’s movements clearly, the smooth cut on the greatsword and the immense disparity in strength left Aisaya with no hope. He could only accept his defeat willingly. The New Star Competition ultimately concluded.

Champion: Bomansa

This kind-looking young lady received the medal and carefully prepared prizes under the congratulations of several teachers.

[Gray Dove] (Perfect Pearl Rank): The blade is made of chaotic silver iron, light and sharp, with a powerful soul-breaking effect, and also carries the power of ice, capable of freezing and shattering enemies.

As the foremost academy on the continent, Emanas found it no trouble to select a suitable weapon for this young lady from its treasury. Accepting the pearl-rank artifact with both hands, Bomansa bowed her head in gratitude, filled with appreciation, while also silently thanking Lolan in her heart.

Although she said she didn’t want to be famous, a pearl-rank artifact is incredibly precious. Some Sequence 6 may not even have one. As someone from an ordinary family, Bomansa might need to serve in the Empire for many years after graduation before gaining a standard pearl-rank artifact through merit. Yet now, she obtained one so easily.

At that time, she probably said that to ease her own mind. A warm current flowed through her heart as she silently noted this debt of gratitude. Facing the teachers’ praise, Bomansa showed a warm smile.

It seems the matter of the club cannot be declined.
