The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

But once they started fighting, Lorenwei quickly realized that Sally's strength far surpassed her opponent's.

Sally was hesitant to act, not wanting to hurt her opponent, so many of her potential killer moves were not used.

Sylph commented to Lorenwei, "Sally is indeed very strong. We don't usually notice it, but compared to ordinary people, she is quite remarkable."

Lorenwei nodded: "As expected of a girl with S-level talents in both water and fire elements, this elemental affinity is just one aspect of her overall strength. Her overall quality and comprehension are far beyond that of ordinary people."

Although the female swordsman opposite was excellent, she was no match for Sally, especially since she had been trained by Bulbert.

Sally's sword flashed fiercely, gradually forcing her opponent to the edge of the arena.

"Ouch—" In the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, the female swordsman from the opposing team had her sword knocked away and was even bumped by Sally's shoulder.

She stumbled and fell outside the fighting platform, hitting the ground.

Lorenwei's eyesight was at the level of a swordsman, so she could naturally tell that Sally had used this move very carefully and cautiously to ensure her opponent's safety. In fact, she could have knocked her down a few moves earlier, but she held back for fear of harming her opponent with the blade.

[First round ended! Team Lorenwei wins!]

"Are you alright?" Sally went over to help the other person up.

But the female swordsman glared at her hatefully, then got up and retreated.

Sally bit her lip, offering no further comment.

Lorenwei beckoned Sally over and instructed her, "There's no need to show mercy to the enemy. If you continue to have that thought, you'll definitely be suppressed. In this match, the opponent will definitely take advantage of your soft heart to trade blows, and if you show even the slightest weakness, you'll lose."

According to the KOF rules, Sally will continue to fight against the opponent's second opponent.

Sally nodded after hearing what Lorenwei said.

"I'm afraid you don't understand. But it's good, you'll learn from your mistakes, it's better than being slaughtered on the battlefield." Lorenwei said helplessly to Sally, "You'll understand for yourself."

The second round featured a female boxer from the opposing team.

"Defeat you! Then I can stand on the stage with Lorenwei!" The female boxer excitedly adjusted her metal boxing gloves.

“...Actually, I have another teammate behind me.” Sally explained quite seriously.

Sure enough, as soon as the opponent entered the arena, they launched a fierce attack on Sally without any mercy, and many times they were willing to fight to the death.

Sally was immediately at a disadvantage.

"Fight back! Who's afraid of who!" Meilan, watching anxiously from her chair, stood up and shouted a reminder.

The scene was quite noisy, so the effect was minimal.

"I'm too soft-hearted; I guess I can only overcome that slowly," Lorenwei shook her head.

Sylph glanced at her: "Let's remind her again."

Having been through a lot together, they both recalled encountering similar people in the past who later died on the battlefield.

"Yes, I will try to persuade her, but whether she can figure it out herself is up to her." Lorenwei nodded, then turned to Kurara, "Your Highness, how about you take action?"

"Didn't you see me fighting before?" Kurara retorted.

"That's the Black Robe Organization. I'm really worried you'll have trouble harming your classmates."

Kurara smiled: "Don't worry. But why are you asking this? Do you think Sally will lose?"

"Ten, nine, eight..." Lorenwei began to count down.

Her insight into the battle situation was unmatched by anyone present except for Sylph.

Sure enough, as her countdown was about to end, Sally was forced to the edge of the arena by her opponent.

"Get down!" The female boxer suddenly threw a punch at Sally.

Sally was overwhelmed and lost all her advantage, but in the instant her sword was knocked away by the force of the punch, she suddenly grabbed her opponent's arm: "Ha-hai—"

She even used the opponent's remaining strength to pull her down off the fighting platform.

"Huh? That's great!" Both Lorenwei and Sylph were a little surprised.

Chapter 268 Overwhelming Momentum, Preparing for the Semifinals

"I didn't expect Sally to react so decisively on the spot," Lorenwei said in surprise.

Just now, because Sally was being overwhelmed by her opponent, she had lowered her opinion of Sally by a notch. But now, seeing that Sally actually pulled her opponent down with her as she was about to fall, she couldn't help but look at her with new respect.

Sylph judged, "This girl may seem weak on the surface, but she is actually very strong-willed."

At this moment, the female host's voice came over: [Both students have fallen off the playing field! According to the KOF rules, the referees have ruled that... they are both defeated! Please send in another player from each team!]

Applause and cheers erupted from the stadium.

Although the freshmen lacked practical experience, it was clear that Sally's decision to perish together with them was quite decisive.

"As expected of the Sword Saint's daughter!"

"It has a kind of courageous spirit; I never thought a girl could do it."

"I heard that she hadn't received any special training before enrolling in school. It's remarkable that she could reach the level of one-to-two exchange in such a short time!"

The students' opinions of Sally have changed considerably.

Of course, this change of opinion is based on Sally's identity as the daughter of the Sword Saint; otherwise, the evaluation might not have been the same.

From the center of the stands, Bordonna glanced back and saw that Burpo, sitting not far from her, was also smiling.

This apprentice/secretary is a good choice; she's a promising talent. Both father and daughter share this view.

People like them don't demand that young people succeed. But her recent failure demonstrated Sally's decisiveness and courage.

In particular, Bourbo was pleased to see that Sally was no longer weak-willed.

Sally returned from the sidelines, looking apologetically at her teammates.

"Well done!" Lorenvi stepped forward to greet her and accompanied her for a while back to the rest area. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Sally quickly said it was nothing.

"You take a look at her, I'm afraid she'll be too embarrassed to tell me." Lorenwei didn't say much, and asked Sylph to accompany Sally for a checkup.

Sylph showed no sign of refusing. How could she not know that Lorenve's concern was without ulterior motives, having worked together in the same team back then? It was simply the captain's way of taking care of her team members' physical condition.

Lorenwei quickly caught up with Kurara and accompanied her to the fighting arena.

A cheer erupted from the stands.

With Kula on the field, how far is Lorenwei from joining the team?

"Hey, why aren't you with Sally anymore?" Kurara teased with a smile.

"Kulala, you're so kind and intelligent, you must know I have no feelings for her. I'm worried about you getting hurt on stage, since the knight profession is more about maintaining the status quo. Don't forget I added something to your knight's shield and bracers, use them when necessary."

Kurara smiled: "I know, I won't forget."

"There's a sword wound protection barrier here, so it won't be easy to kill them. Even if you manage to wound them severely, I can heal them, so feel free to take care of your opponent!"

"Alright, you're even more nagging than my housekeeper." Kurara tidied up her equipment a bit, then went into the arena carrying her knight's sword and shield.

Once on stage, she turned back to look at Lorenwei and winked.

Lorenwei immediately blew her a kiss in return.

The whole place was in an uproar.

"That Kurala is seducing our Lorenwei!" a girl cried out.

Some girls even have near-delusional thoughts: "She definitely didn't catch Weiwei's flying kiss! It drifted over to me!"

"Showing off your love will lead to a quick demise." Some single people are quietly drawing circles to curse this.

The opposing team also sent out a knight, coincidentally. However, the knight was male, much more muscular than Kurara, and even appeared to be twice as tall.

The discussions on the field continued unabated.

However, when Lorenwei returned to the rest area and stood at the edge watching, there was no worry on her face.

Experienced people know that strength is not determined by size.

There was little formality between them, especially since Kurara didn't want to talk to the male students. After giving a knightly salute, she started to fight.

bang——

The opening move is a Knight's Shield Bash.

The burly male knight was knocked back two steps by the impact, barely managing to regain his footing, his knight's shield almost flying off.

"Good heavens! No wonder she's a princess!"

"Kurara is so strong!"

The teachers and students on the viewing platform cheered.

Although Kurara doesn't have much practical combat experience, her simulated combat skills far surpass those of ordinary students. Moreover, she has received formal royal training since childhood, so she is naturally adept at fighting, unlike Sariel who seems rather inexperienced.

Upon realizing in their first encounter that her opponent's strength was inferior to her own, Kurara immediately launched a suppressive attack.

The four teammates of the opposing team, Lileshan, were nervous. Although they knew they couldn't beat the Lorenwei team, not even seeing Lorenwei was incredibly disappointing.

This knight was the strongest and most composed player on the opposing team. He had originally planned to play conservatively, but unexpectedly, the gap between him and the opposing knight was significant.

Kurara launched a series of attacks, her knight's sword striking the opponent's knight's shield until sparks flew.

Lorenwei and other teammates familiar with Kulala knew that this was still before Kulala had given it her all.

"No! That Kurara is more than just a Grand Knight!" a teacher exclaimed. "She has the strength of a Silver Knight!"

Some teachers, through careful observation, also discovered that Kurara's level exceeded the average of the Grand Knights.

The male knight opponent, who had just been promoted to the rank of Grand Knight, was naturally suppressed to the point that he could not raise his head at all and could only keep using his knight's shield for protection.

Kurara didn't want to rely on her equipment advantage to win, so she didn't launch a strong attack for the time being.

"Hah—" After forcing her opponent to the edge of the fighting arena, Kurara suddenly exerted her strength and slammed her opponent's knight shield with tremendous force.

The opponent could no longer hold on and fell off the fighting platform.

Applause and cheers erupted, and Kurara thanked the audience before leaving the stage.

Lorenvi quickly stepped forward to offer words of comfort and accompanied her all the way back to the resting shed, even diligently serving her tea. If it weren't for the knight's armor, she would have practically given her a back massage.

In the stands, there were couples of older students watching.
