Chapter 92: Rafinas
“Yuehai!” Watching Yuehai’s departure, Jinlisi showed no intention of engaging in a fight with her, or perhaps she lacked the courage to do so.
She just glared fiercely at Yuehai with her eyes burning red. However, Yuehai hadn’t looked at her directly from start to finish. After the brief conversation, she had already left.
“Mo Qingting! Did you conspire with that woman to make a fool of me?” Jinlisi, enraged, vented her anger on the dignified woman in front of her. However, the woman remained indifferent, her hand trembling slightly as she held the jade pendant.
“Miss.”
“What’s the matter?!” Looking at Mo Qingting’s calm face, Jinlisi spoke sharply, but she still maintained an indifferent demeanor, giving a faint reply.
“Good luck in the next match!”
“Hey? What’s up, Leia? Magical and martial cultivation? I haven’t kept it from you; you just never asked. No, no, no, Leia, haven’t you recently advanced to the 【Breaking Army】 level? My humble martial skills can’t compare to yours, Leia. Martial techniques? Ah… that technique is… it’s what Lord Claude taught me. Yes, Lord Claude practices the 【Light Sword Style】, right? Yes, yes, yes. Well, I’m fine, my body is in good shape. Right shoulder? It’s okay; don’t you know about my healing abilities? Mm, mm, mm. Okay, I’ll tell Lord Claude. Yeah, yeah, that’s it. I’m hanging up.”
Yuehai let out a big sigh of relief as she put down the Magic Sound Stone. She happened to approach Claude.
“What happened? Who attacked the Magic Sound Stone just now?”
“Leia said to pass a message to you, saying to be a bit careful during the upcoming match.”
“Hehe, it’s alright. Winning or losing is just a matter of sixty seconds. She doesn’t need to worry too much. By the way, during the match just now, it seems your shoulder should have been grazed.” Claude looked at the somewhat tattered clothes and the exposed fragrant shoulder of Yuehai. Although he marveled at her beauty, his brows were still tightly furrowed with concern.
“It’s healed, don’t worry. I’m safe now. The focus should be on you next.”
“Let’s set that aside for now; the judges should be scoring.”
Yuehai patted Claude’s shoulder and quickly turned her gaze towards the stage.
“Alright, the judges have had a private discussion, and now it’s time for scoring. So, please, judges, give your scores for Miss Mo Qingting.”
“8 points,” said Zamiyah.
“9 points,” stated Nicholas.
“Zzzzzz,” Leilindor snored.
“He says 9 points,” Nicholas clarified.
“7 points,” declared Rafinas.
“８分吧。”席米拉。
“8 points, Simira.”.
“Alright! So, Miss Mo Qingting’s total score is 41! Impressive, even in defeat, she still received high scores from the judges, rising to third place in today’s rankings. Let’s give her a round of applause!” Charles concluded, then quickly shifted the focus.
“Now, let’s see what scores the judges have given to Miss Yuehai!”
Everyone watched eagerly, and the atmosphere in the audience gradually became more lively, with debates erupting over Yuehai’s scores.
“13 points,” stated Zamiyah.
“13 points,” Nicholas echoed.
“Zzzzz… Huh? Yuehai? 15 points. Alright, don’t disturb me… Zzzzz.”
“7 points,” said Rafinas.
“Let’s go with 13 points,” suggested Simira.
“Oh! So, here are the results! Miss Yuehai’s total score is 61! It’s the highest score so far!”
The audience who admired and worshiped Yuehai naturally erupted in happy cheers. However, some people expressed dissatisfaction with Rafinas’s biased scores. Others even associated it with the historical tensions and conflicts between the Milik Kingdom and Cyril, criticizing Rafinas for not separating personal feelings from professional judgment, especially considering her position as the head of the grade at Avalon Academy!
Rafinas, with her keen perception, naturally heard everything loud and clear. Nicholas, standing nearby, sensed trouble and quickly spoke up.
“Rafinas…”
“I apologize.” Rafinas nodded slightly, then stood up and turned to face the audience of millions, a cold smile playing on her lips.
“Who said that just now? Stand up.”
For a moment, the entire vast square suddenly fell silent, as if radiating from Rafinas’s center, the silence spread out until not a single sound could be heard. All eyes and cameras were focused on this Sanctum Mage exuding an aloof aura!
“If not, then let’s assume I misperceived. But let me make it clear: I’m not standing here to play games with anyone, nor am I seeking personal vendettas. If that were the case, the dignitaries from Cyril wouldn’t have invited me. So remember, every comment and score I give comes from my own thoughts. You have no right to change it with so-called public opinion. Even if you try, it’s futile. So stand here and use your own brains to understand the meaning behind every piece of information, rather than blindly following those so-called noble aspirations! That’s what I have to say…”
“At this point, Rafinas abruptly released her perception, sweeping it across the space occupied by billions of people. Everyone felt a chilling sensation as if they were being seen through. And then, with a cold tone, Rafinas concluded,
“Have you understood?”
“We understand,” the majority of people chose to submit, their voices echoing in a scene that left everyone stunned.
