Chapter 83: Shut Up! Get Lost!
Tyr naturally smiled, just as Dragon Slayer had anticipated. Most of his strength wasn’t based on Qi alone. While Qi was indispensable, he relied more on Saint-level body techniques and martial skills. With these two cheat-level cards bestowed by the gods, Tyr couldn’t imagine losing to these youngsters.
“By the way, Arena, what were you staring at me for in the room earlier?”
“?” Arena blinked innocently, her eyes wide open, giving a naive response.
“Of course, I was trying to comprehend the true meaning behind Lord Tyr’s actions. It’s just that I’m too foolish. Even until the end, I couldn’t grasp why Lord Tyr was panting like a bull, blushing, heart racing, hair standing on end, rolling eyes, nosebleeds, doing a 360-degree backflip, a 720-degree somersault while kneeling, flopping like a fish, handstand, one-handed push-ups, gnawing on the table edge, banging his head against the wall, the floor, the table edge, the vase, his head… ”
“W-wait, wait, I get it, I was wrong, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked you. Look, everyone else is giving me weird looks now.” Tyr was nearly breathless from Arena’s description, and he didn’t even realize he had made so many exaggerated movements. No wonder his head was hurting so much.
Little Elf: “But I really want to know what meaning those movements contain.”
Tyr: “….. You just have to comprehend it with your heart, it’s not something that can be explained.”
“Ah~ I understand now.”
“Alright, let’s have Lady Zamiyah draw the lots next,” Charles said at the perfect moment when everyone had digested and understood the rules. His opening statement was concise and natural, immediately drawing everyone’s attention to Zamiyah.
“At this moment, several staff members brought up a huge sign. In the gaze of the audience, the hostess, Siva, spoke up.
“This is the drawing board. Once it’s hit, it will randomly display a number.”
Zamiyah naturally saw through the structure. With a faint smile that fascinated everyone, she drew a circle in the air with her index finger. A small water sphere formed gradually with a water attribute. With a flick of her finger, the water ball immediately shot towards the drawing board.
With a bang, the loud sound caused the drawing board to tremble slightly. It was evident that the drawing board’s durability had been reinforced, likely to withstand the strength of the judges.
Drip, a string of numbers immediately appeared.
“Alright, the magical girl selected is number 103462! Please step forward. Other magical girls can take a rest in the VIP viewing area below the stage. Now, Lady Zamiyah, please draw the number for the warriors.”
Zamiyah nodded slightly and once again threw a water ball to reveal the number on the large drawing board:
“Number 8! Warrior number 8, please stay. Other warriors, please accompany the magical girls to the VIP viewing area.”
Everyone acquiesced silently, and only two figures, one male and one female, remained. The two hosts also quickly stepped back, handing over the large stage to them.
“Now, let’s introduce the two of them.” Charles, calm and composed in the face of the tense atmosphere on stage, continued.
“On the side of the magical girls, we have number 103462, Miss Xuelian from the imperial capital!”
“And representing the warriors, with number 8, is Calibi Kukjett from the First Kingdom of Selmia!”
“Let’s cheer for the first battle of the third round! Everyone, stay tuned!” Another round of cheers erupted. Some tired audience members could only clap their hands, but the excitement was still palpable. Whether it was the overall atmosphere or the spectacular performances in each segment, it all made their blood boil.
“Imperial Capital, Xuelian?” Zamiyah furrowed her brows as she sensed something amiss. However, Xuelian on stage had her face covered with a layer of special black veil, making it impossible to penetrate even with perception.
“Zamiyah, my lady,” whispered Nicholas from the side. Zamiyah nodded slightly.
“Yeah, that should be right. Have we received any news from Cyril?”
“Today, Her Imperial Highness the Princess should arrive at the mansion.”
“Then it seems we’re right.” Zamiyah relaxed her brows and flashed a playful smile. “The little one from back then has grown into such a graceful figure.”
“….” Nicholas remained silent.
“Hello, big brother, my name is Xuelian Ou.” Xuelian revealed a sweet smile, although it was not clear due to the veil, her clear voice was still quite infectious.
“Hello, I’ve already heard.” The solemn warrior Calibi put on the national treasure, the “Heavenly Restraint Hand”. After the staff adjusted his strength to the upper “Harmony Qi”, they immediately ran off.
“It’s really uncomfortable.” Calibi shook his arms, his brows furrowed tightly. With his abilities locked down like this, most of his energy-consuming martial techniques were sealed off, leaving only a few available.
“Huh?” Xuelian seemed as if she had misheard something, emitting an exaggerated questioning tone. “After someone introduces themselves, shouldn’t you politely introduce yourself as well? You don’t even have this basic courtesy. How dare you stand here with such audacity? Huh?!!”
“?” Calibi was startled by Xuelian’s sudden momentum. He raised his head to look at her, about to respond, but Xuelian preemptively said.
“Shut up! Get lost!”
