Chapter 335: Want Me to Fight for You?
The judging instructors had already taken their seats in the review area, with a curved metal table in front of them and thick score sheets neatly arranged.
The spectator seats were packed with young students in school uniforms, pressing against each other, their eyes blazing with intense enthusiasm. They all seemed eager to demonstrate their skills on the arena platform.
Lower grade students were especially eager, craning their necks to watch their seniors' performance.
The restless students fell silent without warning, each holding their breath, afraid to make any noise that might disturb the two people on the arena platform.
Two uniformed students stood in the center of the arena, their swords swaying gently in the wind.
The male student was muscular, with a greatsword strapped to his back. However, he seemed nervous, his gaze unsteady. It appeared that facing the girl before him had shattered what little confidence he had left in victory.
In contrast, the female student facing him appeared composed, her gaze determined, her sword arm steady as rock. Her gray-black long hair danced in the wind as she breathed evenly, her posture dignified like a noble knight.
"Begin the battle!"
At the instructor's command, swords clashed together, the sound echoing throughout the arena.
Upon receiving the signal, the two moved like hunting leopards, circling along the arena's edge.
Soon, the male student launched his charge, his footwork fluid as he swiftly crossed the arena toward his opponent.
Whoosh—
A phantom flash passed as the male student instantly appeared before the female student, his arms swinging back, exposing his entire chest.
The massive silver blade tore through the air, creating powerful currents that made the female student calmly sense the danger.
She quickly lowered her body, avoiding the air currents, sliding slightly backward to dodge the descending giant blade.
The blade crashed into the arena ground, creating an enormous shockwave.
When the shockwave dissipated, the person before him had vanished.
The male student panicked slightly, desperately searching for the female student's position.
Until he felt a cold sensation at the back of his neck, he hurriedly turned to defend, holding his sword horizontally in front of him.
But in the next second, the female student suddenly changed her attack's direction.
The sword tip instantly shifted, striking upward against his blade.
With a slight force and clever technique, she swiftly knocked the male student's huge sword upward.
Clang—
With a ring, the greatsword was embedded in the arena's edge.
The male student sat on the arena floor, completely disarmed.
His elbows propped against the ground as he stared motionlessly at the sword point before his face.
Only when the female student sheathed her sword and gracefully left the arena did the match end.
The entire process had taken barely five seconds.
The instructors nodded to each other, picking up their brushes to write scores:
"Another point for Joanna."
