Chapter 52 is just one of the reasons
Phoenix Star Martial Festival, second day.

Today, the duel city of Asterisk is still crowded with people because of the Star Warrior Festival.

The streets were packed with people. The cafes, restaurants, cold drink shops, snack bars and other places facing the street were all packed with customers. Many people even stayed in various places with their space windows open to watch the live broadcast directly on the spot, causing the entire city block to become congested and even walking was difficult.

"I, I can't hold on any longer, Senior."

Toudou Qilin, who was walking on the road, seemed to be almost burned out. She was staggering all over and looked like she might faint at any time.

There was no other way. It was too crowded along the way. In addition, it was summer vacation now, and Asterisk was in the midsummer season. The sun was hanging high above the artificial pit lake, and the fierce sunlight shone directly on the hexagram-shaped duel city. The heat it brought was definitely comparable to the hot wind released by the Black Furnace Demon Sword, making Toudou Kirin sweat profusely and her little face red.

That would be fine, the key point is that these two are no longer unknown people, but the candidates for the Phoenix Star Martial Festival champion with the highest popularity and support rate online.

At least 80% of the tourists who come to Asterisk come specifically for the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, so many people have already seen the appearance of Aize and Todo Kirin and know their origins.

Under such circumstances, when Aize and Toto Qilin took to the streets, it was just like world-class football stars taking to the streets, and the sensation they caused was quite big.

So, along the way, Aize and Toto Kirin didn't know how many people they met who came to greet them, cheer them on, ask for handshakes or request autographs. In this hot weather, the two of them were not only squeezed by people, but also surrounded by fans. They were really tired.

"Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Seeing that the girl was about to faint from the heat, Aize smiled bitterly, reached out and held her hand.

"If I had known I would have come here alone. Now even if I wanted you to go back alone, I guess it's impossible, right?"

Given the crowded situation, if Toudou Qilin were to go back alone, she would probably collapse from exhaustion on the way.

The Star Vein Generation is hailed as the superhumans of the new era, but superhumans are still humans. Except for those witches or magicians with special abilities, the rest of the people are no different from ordinary humans except for their physical abilities.

Therefore, they will be tired when they should be tired, and they are very likely to suffer from heatstroke under the influence of such bad weather and road conditions.

"How about I carry you?"

Aize made a suggestion, which startled the sweaty Toudou Qilin and made him shake his head quickly.

“No, that’s okay, Senior.” Toudou Qilin seemed to have perked up a bit, and said with all her might, “We’re almost there, just hold on a little longer.”

Hearing this, Aize turned his head and looked forward.

There, a large dome-shaped building caught Aize's eye.

It is one of only three large-scale stages in Asterisk, and is also one of the stages with the second highest utilization rate after the Sirius Dome during the Star Wars Festival.

The preliminaries of the first week of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival were held on a main stage, three large-scale stages, and seven medium-scale stages, but starting from the second week of the official schedule, the competitions will only be held in the Sirius Dome and the three large-scale stages.

After the top four are decided, the only stage left to be used is the Sirius Dome main stage, where the semi-finals and finals will be held.

The destination of Aize and Toto Kirin's trip is one of the large-scale stages that will be used until the semi-finals, where the person he cares about will compete.

however……

"Based on the current situation, by the time we reach the stage, the competition over there may have already ended."

Aize himself felt a little helpless.

If I had known this would happen, I would have used the power of the black furnace and flown over wrapped in hot air.

If Aize wasn't afraid that activating the Black Furnace Demon Sword would release the heat from the sword and create a hot wind that would blow away ordinary people in the surrounding area and hurt them, he would have wanted to fly over now.

"It would be better to train directly in the academy as planned yesterday."

Aize felt a little regretful.

Fortunately, today's tourists were relatively clean and did not reach out to Toto Kirin, otherwise, Aize would really regret suddenly changing his mind yesterday and deciding to go out to watch the game.

"Then just hold on a little longer, Qilin." Aize could only say to Tou Teng Qilin: "If you can't hold on, tell me and I'll carry you."

"Okay, okay." Toudou Qilin nodded dazedly and agreed.

In this way, the two of them moved forward on the road at a snail's pace, and it took them more than an hour to reach their destination.

"finally reached……"

As soon as he entered the stage venue, the cold wind from the air conditioner immediately hit Aize, making him feel alive. "Wow, I'm sorry, senior..."

Todo Qilin had already fallen on Aize's back, hugged Aize's neck, and her voice was full of shame.

In the end, the girl couldn't hold on until the end and was forcefully carried on Aize's back.

"It's okay. We are partners, and I am your senior. It is my duty to take care of you." Aize said bluntly without turning his head: "Besides, you are not heavy, it is easy to carry you."

Rather, it is quite comfortable to carry.

Feeling the soft touch from behind, Aize suddenly understood why those animals driving cars with girls liked to brake suddenly.

"Unfortunately, we still missed the game."

Ai Ze, carrying Toto Qilin on his back, faced the strange looks from the people around him and turned into a remote corridor, speaking helplessly.

"You can watch the replay of the game online, but if you're not there, you won't be able to feel the flow of star power, and you won't be able to see the details of the battle."

With the help of air conditioning, Toto Kirin finally recovered some of her spirit and state. She lay on Aize's back, reached out to open the space window, and turned on the game replay.

I saw a girl who was dressed quite boldly, with her female uniform of the Leiwolf Black Academy opened wide, her coat tied around her waist, and only the swimsuit-like part of her upper body was left fighting.

The girl held a huge sickle that was longer than her height. The blade of the sickle was blood-red, and the front end of the handle was inlaid with a piece of purple all-purpose crystal.

It was the pure Star Brilliance weapon owned by Leiwolf Black Academy - the Tyrant Blood Scythe.

The girl holding the Blood Scythe is Irene Urseth, who is ranked third in the Black Academy of Leiwolf and is known as the "Vampire Princess".

Today, Aize came just for her.

But now, her game is over.

Todo Kirin watched the replay of the game and took in Irene Urseth's performance.

The opponent's performance was excellent and the fighting power displayed was extraordinary.

Although the Tyrant Blood Scythe was so huge, Irene Urseth was able to wield it flexibly as if it were her own arm, turning the huge blood-red sickle blade into arcs of blood-red light that continuously crossed the space of the stage.

Her skills were also extremely good. You could tell at a glance that she was very good at fighting. While wielding the Tyrant Blood Scythe, she also mixed in punches and kicks at any time. She easily suppressed two opponents by herself.

Under such circumstances, her sister and partner had no intention of playing on the court. She just stayed in the back, quietly waiting for the game to end.

Seeing this, Toudou Qilin was certain of one thing.

"I think it won't be that easy to win her."

This is the case when Irene Urseth has not used the ability of the Blood Scythe.

Once the opponent uses the power of the Tyrant Blood Scythe, then just as Claudia said, he will definitely be qualified to compete for the top ranking in the Star Guide Academy.

"Is the reason why Senior cares about her so much because of Tyrant Blood Scythe?"

That’s what Toudou Qilin thought.

But Aize shook his head.

"The Tyrant Blood Scythe is only one of the reasons."

Aize didn't say anything else and even stopped walking.

"Senior?"

Toudou Qilin was slightly startled and was about to speak when she heard footsteps.

In front of this deserted and remote corridor, two figures appeared to be walking towards this side at some point.

"That is……"

Seeing those two people, Toudou Qilin's face tightened.
