Chapter 65 The End of the Semi-Finals
"------!"

Seeing Aize raising the pitch-black magic sword in his hand, Irene's reaction was extremely intense.

Her red pupils shrank sharply, like a wild animal about to go mad, and her face became extremely ferocious.

The blood sickle in his hand vibrated with a crackling sound, as if it was also going crazy.

Under such circumstances, the all-purpose crystals on the Tyrant Blood Scythe lit up brighter than ever before.

"what!"

Just as Irene was about to go berserk, a short scream reached her ears.

This short exclamation immediately stimulated Irene and brought her back from the brink of madness.

"Priscilla Urseth, the school badge is damaged."

Before Irene looked towards the source of the sound, the external mechanical sound of the self-operating processing system connected to the school emblem sounded above the stage.

"Priscilla!"

Only then did Irene see that Priscilla, who was behind her, had collapsed on the ground, seemingly frightened.

The school badge on her chest was cut in half at some point and fell to the ground.

In front of her, the silver-haired girl was slowly putting away her knife.

Toudou Qilin, who was originally suppressed by the gravity of the Tyrant Blood Scythe, immediately regained her freedom after Aize used the power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to burn off the gravity of the entire stage, and ran silently towards Priscilla who had been behind her.

In order to protect Priscilla, Irene also set up a gravity barrier around her, but it was also burned to ashes by the power just unleashed by the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

Toudou Qilin did not miss this opportunity and resolutely cut off Priscilla's school badge.

Then--

"Qiang!"

As the Black Furnace Demon Sword in Aize's hand chopped down, the Blood Scythe in the hand of Irene, who was forced to be distracted, was also chopped off.

The bloody sickle blade flew into the air, spun there, and then fell down.

A hand caught it.

Unfortunately, that wasn't Irene's hand.

"Om-"

Upon noticing this, the Tyrant Blood Scythe began to vibrate violently, as if it was angered.

but……

"Just be quiet."

Gripping the handle of the Tyrant Blood Scythe tightly, Aize let out a whisper that only this pure Star-Glorious weapon could hear.

"------"

In an instant, the Tyrant Blood Scythe became quiet.

No, it should be said that I was terrified.

No one noticed that at this moment, gold-plated lines appeared on Aize's hand holding the Tyrant Blood Scythe.

These gold-stamped patterns are so conspicuous, but no one can find them, as if as long as it doesn't want to be seen, no one can detect its existence.

The gold-plated patterns flowed toward the Tyrant Blood Scythe, were engraved on its body, and penetrated into the purple All-Effective Crystal, making the originally weird, evil, and bloody Tyrant Blood Scythe look like a pariah that had encountered the king, feeling panic and fear.

As a result, the gold-plated patterns were imprinted very smoothly on the All-Effective Crystal of the Tyrant Blood Scythe and were absorbed into it.

The corners of Aize's mouth curled up slightly, and then he threw away the Blood Scythe in his hand.

It sounds complicated, but in fact, from the time the Tyrant Blood Scythe was chopped off by Aze, to it falling into Aze's hands and then being thrown away by Aze, the whole process took less than two seconds.

Irene still maintained the posture with her weapon being flung away, and watched Aize’s pupils dilate.

"Buzz!"

With a vibration sound, the pitch-black demonic sword slashed down again.

Having lost the Tyrant Blood Scythe, Irene was unable to put up any effective resistance, and the magic sword instantly slashed through the school emblem on her chest, leaving a lava-like red mark on the emblem.

"Irene Urseth, the school badge is damaged."

The mechanical voice of judgment appeared for the second time.

Then, it appeared for the third time.

"competition is over."

"The winners are Aize & Toudou Qilin."

When this verdict was heard above the entire stage, cheers broke out.

"It appears! The winner of the semi-finals!"

"In a split second, Ai and Toudou succeeded in taking the school badges of the Ursese sisters! They won the semi-finals!"

"The first team to advance to the finals has appeared!"

"They are the duo of Aize and Toudou Qilin from the Seidoukan Academy!"

Along with the passionate shouts of the live broadcaster, the whole audience was cheering and applauding.

Even Julis and Amagiri Ayato, who were in the student council's private box at Seidoukan Academy, seemed to be relieved and applauded for Aize and Toudou Kirin. Claudia smiled and clapped softly.

"Senior! We won!"

On the stage, Toudou Qilin, who had put away her sword, no longer looked like a swordsman. She ran towards Aize with a surprised expression.

"........."

Opposite Aize, the red light in Irene's eyes had disappeared.

Looking at the school badge dropped on the ground, she had a look of loss on her face.

She lost.

Even though she had made so many preparations beforehand, replenished so much fuel for the Tyrant Blood Scythe, and exerted a power far greater than before, she still lost.

This loss meant that her mission...had failed.

"Tsk..."

In the student union office of Leiwolf Black Academy, a short and fat young man sitting in the dim shadows was watching the scene on the window and making a smacking sound.

"Did it fail after all?"

There was no disappointment or anger in his tone, as if he had been mentally prepared for this beforehand, showing a calmness that was different from his appearance.

Staring at the magic swordsman who was greeting his little teammate who was running towards him happily in the live broadcast, the look in the short and fat young man's eyes was dark and unclear.

There was no way. The opponent's control over the Black Furnace Demon Sword once again refreshed his cognition.

At that moment, the entire stage turned into a furnace, and the legend of the magic sword became a real force, which instantly raised the fear and vigilance that already existed in the heart of the short and fat young man to the highest level.

"…Never mind, I've gained something."

Although the mission failed and the goal was not achieved, at least the true strength of the magic swordsman was tested, and the extent to which the Black Furnace Magic Sword was controlled by the other party was seen.

"It is not appropriate to continue attacking this kid at this moment."

The short and fat young man's mind raced, and he finally came to this conclusion.

Considering the opponent's strength and the power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, if he wants to truly defeat the opponent, even if it is himself, he has to use his real trump card.

This is not something that can be done casually, especially when the opponent has advanced to the finals and the world's attention is focused on you. Any slight movement may be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.

This is not what the short and fat young man wants to see.

and so……

"Let's just wait and see for now."

After the short and fat young man made the decision, he no longer paid attention to the matter, closed the window, and hid his body completely in the darkness.

…………

Sirius Dome, lounge.

After winning the game, Aize and Todo Qilin accepted an official interview and then returned here to relax.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior."

Toudou Qilin obediently brought a cold drink to Aize and handed it to him.

"Thank you, and thank you for your hard work, Qilin."

Aize took the cold drink and smiled back.

Both of them were obviously in a good mood, especially Toto Kirin, who looked very happy.

"There's only one step left, right? Senior?"

Toudou Qilin was both happy and nervous.

After winning this game and advancing to the finals, the only obstacle standing in the way of Aize and Todo Qilin is the final.

"Don't be nervous." Aize saw the girl's excitement and anxiety, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "The finals are tomorrow, at least we can relax now, right?"

"Yes." Toudou Qilin relaxed his shoulders as he was told and said with a smile, "I just don't know who our opponent will be tomorrow."

Aize smiled but said nothing.

Todo Qilin didn't know who her opponent would be tomorrow, but Aize had already expected it.

He had already said it long ago that the other party would be their biggest rival in this Phoenix Star Martial Festival.

"Want to watch the game this afternoon?"

Having said that, Aize still invited Todo Qilin.

"Ok!"

Of course, Todo Kirin couldn't refuse, so she nodded vigorously and agreed.

The two stayed in the lounge until noon, and only after lunch did they go to the box of Xingdaoguan Academy to watch the semi-finals in the afternoon.

The result did not exceed Aize's expectations.

"competition is over."

"The winners are Amagiri Ayato and Julis Alexia von Risfitte."
