Episode 5 The First Battle
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jessica. top.
"Hey, don't look at me like that, what's wrong with you?" Jessica realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and took a step back in a panic.
"I remember the last time we met, Icarus wasn't very friendly with Captain Jessica. Could it be that there is some kind of connection?" Lena was also surprised by this, although Icarus was usually cold, but she felt very different now.
"I see what you mean. Zero first looked at Olivier in the distance, then turned his gaze back to Jessica. "This kind of hair color only exists in the Ning Yue family. "Although blue hair is not very rare, the controller of the empire, the blue of the Ning Yue family is different from the others. It is a color with a special luster, as if it has the magic of zΓ i, and the light reflected by the sun on it is like the light of the moon at night that gives a calming light.
"Hmm. Icarus nodded in acquiescence, "So, who the hell are you?"
"Whew~ Scared me, I thought it was a big deal~" Alice immediately jumped out, wanting to relieve Jessica.
"It's true that she is a member of the Ning Yue family, but she is just an illegitimate daughter abandoned by a ruthless father. So, she hates those Imperial guys quite a bit. How pitiful, isn't it~" Alice hugged Jessica, looking like she was about to cry.
"......" Everyone obviously didn't expect Alice to admit for Jessica so happily, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Everyone has some little secrets!Our lovely princess~" Alice stepped forward and touched Icarus's head.

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen the traces of Zhu Yue or something. It's a little sad, but it's surprisingly cute. If only she could smile more~" Alice continued to extend her claws to Icarus's face, putting on a smiling face. But Icarus doesn't intend to fight like Zero.
"Forget it, it's useless to pursue this. If they weren't going to say it, we wouldn't be able to ask it alone. Andβ" Ike said in the direction of Icarus and Alice, "the strength of the two of them is not as simple as that registered with the Mercenary Guild. β
"Well...... I didn't plan to hide it for long, so I'll be allowed to sell it for the time being. Anyway, we didn't come here today to quarrel, but to see the students of our Colleurs Academy tyrannizing the children of the Empire. Alice continued to speak in her mischievous tone about these unrealistic topics.
"Then sit down quietly for me!" Zero's attitude towards this guy was really unbearable, and he jumped up and pressed Alice directly to the seat in the back. Jessica also took advantage of the situation to be next to Alice, and everyone was huddled together, which seemed very lively.
"Speaking of which, Kaos, isn't he going to come?" asked the little fat man Marikornu, puzzled.
"It's true, I haven't seen him lately, it seems that he's been doing strange research, and the whole person is mysterious. Ike thought of his unusual behavior in the last few days, and said that he didn't care about the fact that he couldn't come.
"Forget it, leave him alone. β
Soon, the stands were full. On the podium, Schindler and Hasin were already seated.
"Hello everyone! Today is a special day. With the most sincere enthusiasm, we welcome our friends who have come all the way from Moonlight City, the capital of the Ningyue Empire. Please extend their warmest welcome. The headmaster personally presided over the conference! The vigorous and powerful voice clearly reached the ears of the audience. Suddenly, there was applause from the audience, but there were not many cheers.
"Thank you, Principal, for your kindness. As the Third Prince of the Empire, Olivier Ningyue, allow me to pay you the highest respect and the Academy and the Kingdom. In addition, I wish the two universities a large number of talents, and the two countries will always be peaceful. Olivier's voice was equally clear, and it seemed that the arena near the ring was also being amplified with magic. Once the fight begins, the conversations of the fighters and the sounds of the battles will be heard faithfully.
"False. Zero and Alice said the same word at the same time, and the others nodded in agreement. It's not a good person, but it's just a formality.
"Similar competitions and exchange conferences have been held many times between our two schools. The rules are very simple, there are 7 people on the Imperial side, they will come to power in turn, and if they fail, they will step down immediately, and if they win, they can continue to challenge. We will also send 7 players, but the quota is not determined by the school, as long as it corresponds to the opponent's level, you can volunteer to take the stage. Schindler's voice was heard through the audience again.
"Thank you very much for your explanation, Principal that we are ready to start now. Olivier bowed to Schindler as a muscular fighter stepped into the ring.
"Kino, a level 7 warrior, a fourth-year student at the Demon Martial Academy. Olivier elegantly introduced the group.
I saw Kino wielding a two-handed giant axe the size of a person, but he looked calm, and his restrained fighting spirit did not let out a trace of it, which was enough to prove that Olivier's words had no water.
"Haha, nice young man. can have such an understanding of the realm of warriors, presumably after a famous family. Hassin's hearty laughter eased the tense atmosphere in the room.
"What does that mean? Are you going to put strong players in front, but it's a bit difficult to get 1-on-7. Leonard thought to himself, he couldn't make a reasonable comparison between Keno's strength and his own based on visual inspection alone. It's just that at the beginning of the competition, the senior students of level 7 were sent to participate in the battle, and it was a bit unreasonable to say anything.
"No problem, I won't disappoint the prince!" Kino brandished his giant axe as he waited for his opponent to appear. To be honest, in this case, everyone will be nervous, after all, the victory or defeat of the duel is related to the honor of the kingdom and the empire.
"I would like to see how powerful a level 7 warrior of the Demon Martial Academy will be. A tepid male voice came from the stands across from Yukikaze.
"It's the third-year Wind Wizard Lamia!"
"Yes, I know him, and he also skipped a grade back then. It is said that he was once personally instructed by the principal. β
"O magician, how many magicians have reached heights that they have never been able to reach in their lifetimes! After all, after level 7, mages are generally stronger than warriors. β
Discussions rang out from all directions, but thanks to these, Zero knew the identity of the challenger.
"That gray-haired kid is very powerful, and the big man on the stage will definitely lose. Alice's voice was quiet, and her speech did not attract much attention.
"How so?" Zero asked rhetorically, although she also hoped for the Collers Academy players to win, Alice looked like she had already seen the outcome of the match.
+ There is no reason, but it is just a fact. How about a gold coin?" Alice said, pulling out a gleaming gold coin from her pocket and placing it in front of Zero.
"Excuse me. β
[This black-haired woman looks so mysterious, shouldn't she really be a hidden master] Zero is still a little jealous of her, and if she has to lose a gold coin in order to go against her, it will be a little too worthless.
"It's too little, it's okay, I still have it here~" Alice continued to rummage through her pockets, and took out a total of 9 gold coins, "Woo~ It seems that I lost one, it's really unlucky~"
"Okay, don't make any noise! it's almost a fight down there, don't interfere with others watching the game. "It is worthy of being the head of Xuefeng, Ai Xue's words are quite imposing, and even Alice, who pretended to be miserable, was suppressed.
At this moment, Lamia, who had short gray hair, had floated onto the field, staring at Keno who had come to the stage before. At the junction of the line of sight, there were invisible, violent sparks.
