After saying that, Zhu Qiu dropped the sword in her hand and rushed forward with her fists raised.
‘Not bullying you is my bottom line, and not using my sword is so you’ll admit defeat fair and square.’
“Ah!”
“Yah!”
“Huh?”
‘Why isn’t Zhu Qiu using a weapon either?’
‘That opponent’s fists are enchanted. Can your soft, fair little fists actually hold up against that?’
Yiluo Enya started to feel a bit worried.
“Ah!”
“Yah!”
The momentum of the two was like blazing flames, neither willing to yield to the other.
The moment the two were about to collide, Yiluo Enya abruptly shut her eyes.
She couldn’t bear to keep watching, and she was too late to stop it, so she could only silently pray in her heart that Zhu Qiu would be safe and nothing unexpected would happen.
“Ugh—”
With a cry of surprise, Kasola fell to the ground.
He had lost.
Even after pouring his Magic Power into his fists, he still couldn’t defeat Zhu Qiu in the end.
Zhu Qiu had practiced swordsmanship for so many years, so her physique was naturally nothing to sneeze at.
On top of that, the Dragon Race possessed a more powerful build than the Human Race.
Combining the two strengths only made her even more formidable.
To be fair, Kasola’s loss wasn’t unjust.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
“Wow! That’s so hot, phew, phew, phew—”
Zhu Qiu had been burned by the flames on Kasola’s hands and was constantly blowing on her own pink little fists.
At the same time, seeing that Zhu Qiu had won, Yiluo Enya walked over as well.
“You actually dared to burn me!”
“Don’t you know that in a fair close-quarters brawl, you’re not allowed to pull tricks or use other means?”
The second before, Zhu Qiu was blaming herself for being careless.
The next second, she was puffing up with anger as she walked up to Kasola, who was lying on the ground.
“I won’t be so stubborn next time.”
“If I’d known his fists could catch fire, I should’ve kept my sword.”
“You’re that Kasola?”
“Did I give you permission to burn all these plants?”
Yiluo Enya’s expression was stern.
She was furious at Kasola for casually setting fires on a grassland full of vegetation.
Kasola kept scooting backward along the ground.
He was scared, truly scared.
“I-I-I, sisters, I surrender.”
“Isn’t surrendering enough?”
He had previously thought that Zhu Qiu and Yiluo Enya together were just a comedic duo.
But now it seemed their strength was terrifying.
One had better control, and the other had better physical power.
“You’re sorry?”
“But when you stopped us earlier, you didn’t say sorry then.”
Zhu Qiu revealed a sinister smile, slowly approaching and looking down at Kasola on the ground from above.
“Yiluo Enya, I think we should give him a proper punishment.”
“I think so too.”
“Just eliminating him like this would be letting him off too easy.”
Zhu Qiu thought for a moment, then suddenly came up with a very fun idea.
“Yiluo Enya, I have a great idea, hehe~”
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“What idea?”
“Tell me.”
Yiluo Enya cooperatively leaned close to Zhu Qiu’s ear.
“I’m planning to do this… this… and then this…”
The longer the two talked, the more terrified Kasola on the ground became.
Huh?
‘Since the two of them are here mumbling about who knows what, why don’t I take this chance to run away?’
‘I’m a genius!’
Kasola was already in complete awe of his own cleverness.
‘Let’s do it.’
The Kasola on the ground silently and quietly stood up, turned around, and sprinted off.
“Later, losers!”
“Once I find my hand, I’ll make sure you two get what’s coming to you!”
Yiluo Enya: ?
“You dare run right under my nose?”
“Get back here!”
She crouched down, thrust her hands into the ground, and generated a tree root in front of Kasola’s escape path.
“ALL THINGS HAVE SPIRIT!”
“You think that’s enough to stop me?”
“Dream on!”
“Agh!”
Zhu Qiu on the side couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
“Haha, serves you right for not watching where you’re going.”
“Now look at you, caught by us again.”
Then, Yiluo Enya used her All Things Have Spirit magic to summon plants and transport Kasola over to herself.
“Zhu Qiu, he’s all yours now.”
“No problem, hehe~”
The smile on her face grew more and more sinister.
“What are you guys grabbing me for?”
“I’m just a student!”
“I already surrendered, and you still won’t let me go!”
“Nope.”
Zhu Qiu spat out two words, then infused Magic Power into the tip of her sword and began drawing on the ground.
Anyone who had studied magic knew that this was drawing a magic circle.
Kasola knew it too, but up until now, he had never seen anyone draw a magic circle with a sword.
Ordinary people used special pens, so how was this Dragon Race girl in front of him…
‘Wait, this girl is drawing a magic circle?’
Kasola’s mind went blank for a moment.
‘Isn’t she the only student left in the Academy’s Swordsmanship Department?’
‘How could she possibly know how to draw a magic circle?’
‘Shouldn’t she not even know the most basic magic?’
As the magic circle was being set up, the one Zhu Qiu was drawing grew bigger and bigger, larger and larger.
It grew to the point that even all the magic circles Kasola had ever seen before combined didn’t match its size.
That was no exaggeration.
“Sister, what are you planning to do?”
“I really know I was wrong, wuwuwu~”
Under the pressure of the enormous magic circle, Kasola completely broke down and started crying without any regard for his image.
The bigger a magic circle was, the stronger it was.
The more complex it was, the stronger it was.
And Zhu Qiu’s circle had both qualities, so how could he not be afraid?
At the same time, Yiluo Enya was also puzzled.
“When we discussed it earlier, we didn’t say the magic circle would be this big.”
“Could it be…”
“Painful, hehe~”
Well, she should still trust Zhu Qiu and see what she planned to do next.
Time ticked by, and Kasola had long since cried himself hoarse.
It was at this moment that Zhu Qiu finished setting up the magic circle.
“Done!”
Next, Zhu Qiu stood outside the magic circle, signaled Yiluo Enya to step out too, and began chanting the spell.
“ANCIENT ABYSS SEAL!”
In an instant, every place the sword had drawn across the entire magic circle turned black.
At the same time, the sky changed drastically as well.
What had been a clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.
The most despairing of all was Kasola, trapped at the center of the magic circle.
Just from the activation effect of the magic circle alone, he felt like he was already dead, with no chance for the Academy to step in and rescue him.
Ten seconds later, a magnificent black light flew from Kasola’s body into the sky.
This scene was visible to nearly every student participating in the event.
One minute later, the light gradually faded, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.
The world seemed to return to that peaceful and serene state.
The vines binding Kasola also loosened.
He tentatively took a few steps and suddenly realized he was still alive.
“I-I’m fine?”
Kasola felt himself over.
“It seems… it doesn’t hurt at all, huh.”
Zhu Qiu walked over at that moment, looking Kasola up and down.
“See, I told you it doesn’t hurt at all.”
“I wasn’t lying to you, was I?”
But the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.
He finally asked the question.
“What did you do to me?”
