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

"I won't analyze it for you. You guys figure out how to play yourselves. Besides, your opponents have improved quite a bit."

Kurara complained, "You're even more demanding than Boulbo. Can't you be a little gentler with me?"

"Keep it up," Lorenwei said, taking Kurara's hand in her own and then kissing the back of her hand.

"You...you're so annoying..." Kurara blushed to her ears, but she didn't shake off his hand.

The students watching screamed in terror.

This is dog abuse...

"Ah~~~"

"Kurara is seducing my Lorenve again!"

"Oh no! Could it be that Lorenwei will label him as Loren?"

The noise was so loud that even the female host who had just announced the start of the competition had to lower her voice.

"This is practically her own personal show," said Principal Bordonna from the main stands. "I wonder how she'll perform when she goes on stage."

“Outstanding people shine wherever they go.” Burbo didn’t take it seriously.

The match began, and Ouyou and Sally each displayed their skills.

Sally's profession is swordsman. If she uses her speed advantage to attack at close range, she will be more effective against Ou, who is a mage.

Although Oyu hadn't improved much since last time, she had more protective treasures. Magic scrolls were constantly being thrown out, restraining Sariel's attacks.

Sally had received a magic scroll from Lorenve, but being a poor child, she had never used one. In this tense moment, she subconsciously didn't think of it. Perhaps she did, but even if she had, she wouldn't have been willing to use it…

In short, Sally found her own way to overcome the interference of various scrolls and gradually squeeze Ouyou's space step by step.

"Drink—" Sally used her last bit of strength to break through Ouyou's water shield and force her out of the arena.

The audience erupted in applause.

The teachers all nodded, finding Sally's fight to be textbook perfect. She steadily built her advantage step by step, gradually gaining ground before unleashing a decisive blow to win.

"She's made great progress!" Kurara praised.

"That's good. But why didn't she use her water and fire enchantments?" Meilan asked curiously.

She pulled Lorenve up and they clapped for Sally together.

"It's alright," Lorenwei said, but she still clapped earnestly.

Sally was turning back to look at her own camp.

Seeing that Lorenwei and the others had stood up for her, Sally blushed and smiled happily.

She has made great progress in training with Lorenwei and others these past few days. Now that she has achieved results, her confidence is gradually being strengthened, which is very important for her future growth.

"The second battle!" Sally stood on the stage, preparing to continue the fight.

The older brother, Oha, makes his appearance.

This time, he still used a combination of manipulating mechs and magic.

He summoned stone-manipulated mechs.

Sally was caught in a tough battle.

In the first round, she had already expended a lot of energy to break through the Ouyou protective array, and now that she had encountered the piloting mechs, it was too difficult for her.

Moreover, swordsmen are already at a significant disadvantage when it comes to piloting mechs.

Sylph, watching from below the stage, exclaimed anxiously, "Why didn't you prepare a good sword for her?!"

Kurara also gave Lorenwei a reproachful look.

Lorenvi protested, "I wouldn't dare give it to her. I'm afraid you'd say it's shameless of me to give gifts to girls..."

Sylph snorted: "Points deducted for puns."

Kurara said, "She's a team member, it's not unreasonable for you to find her a good sword. We won't mind."

Lorenwei: "Yeah, right..."

"What did you say?"

I said I would give it to them.

On the field, Sally finally ran out of strength. After almost defeating the mech pilot, her sword shattered, and she was blasted out of the field by magic.

Fortunately, there was a protective gemstone, so it was just a minor scratch and nothing serious.

Lorenvi quickly brought her back, and healing magic was applied swiftly.

"Don't waste your magic, I can heal myself," Sally quickly tried to stop him.

Lorenwei: "I'm a bit long, just bear with it... I told you my mana reserves are plentiful, so you don't need to worry."

Next up, Kula took the stage.

The heavily armored silver knight and the knight's sword enhanced by Lorenwei completely counter the piloted mechs.

Oha was quickly defeated.

“My turn. I’m never soft on women either.” The exchange student team captain, Singer, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, but he ignored Kurara on the stage, pointing directly at Lorenwei. “In ten breaths, Lorenwei, it’ll be your turn!”

Chapter 272 Kurara Retires, Lorenwei Enters the Fray

You dare to talk back to me?

Lorenwei calmly looked at Singh, the captain of the exchange student team.

"Go, Captain!" The siblings, Oha and Oyu, along with the students in the team, shouted together.

Lorenwei, however, carefully observed the confident Singer.

Sylph walked over: "Kurara, I suggest Lorenve go first, and you abstain."

"You think he's amazing?" Kurara looked at Sylph intently.

"He should be a swordsman-type warrior, with top-notch equipment, no less than the ones Lorenwei provided for us. Moreover, he seems to have a lot of combat experience, which makes him quite troublesome."

"Thank you for your advice, then I'm even more determined to take on the challenge!" Kurara said. "Didn't Lorenve just say that the key is whether we have the courage to fight?"

"You heard me really clearly," Lorenwei said, pursing her lips. She had been speaking to Sally, and Kurara had indeed been listening intently.

"I'm a knight with super strong defense, and the protective crystal you gave me can withstand it, right?" Kurara asked Lorenwei with a smile.

Lorenwei said sternly, "I'll stand guard next to the arena, but don't get distracted."

Kurara exclaimed in surprise, "This guy is that strong?"

Sylph and Lorenve both agreed: "Yes, very strong."

If it were Mu Zhe at his peak, he would naturally not be a threat. But the current Kula is merely a Silver Knight, not enough to fight against this Singer.

Both Sylph and Lorenve's intuitions confirmed this; he was definitely not someone Kurara could handle.

"Come on!" Kurara leaped onto the stage and proudly slammed her knight's shield into the ground.

"A Silver Knight? You'd be considered a genius at Moonlight Academy, right? But in my eyes, you're nothing!" Singer's voice rang out.

During the finals, the wind-element crystal was activated on the arena, allowing everyone in the audience to hear what the fighters were saying.

Alas----

The entire audience booed, clearly out of contempt for Singer.

This is Moonlight Academy's home turf. Are you saying this because you don't plan to leave the academy? Do you even want to continue studying here?

From the main stands, Principal Bordonna glanced at her father: "Are all the geniuses at Nichika Academy this arrogant?"

“When I visited in recent years, I also felt a very restless atmosphere,” said Burbo. “There, strength is worshipped, and you could say that strength is everything there.”

"This Singhal is also one of the top three geniuses at Nichika Academy, and his strength is higher than that of the exchange students we see on the roster."

“He has powerful backers, especially since his family recently acquired a treasure, which was reportedly given to him, giving him new opportunities for growth.”

“New growth? I did get some news from the Elf Core Forest…” Bordona fell into deep thought.

This doesn't refer to the identification of Sylph, but rather to the theft of some treasures.

"He's a magic swordsman, so his growth is already extremely fast," said Bulbo. "If he gets a treasure, it will be a huge boost."

"A magic swordsman, Lorenwei seems to be one too."

“Kulara is definitely no match for him, but if Lorenwei were to fight him…” Burbo hesitated.

"Let's watch the show."

"it is good."

The two unreliable elders, who were just watching the show, started fighting on the spot.

Lorenwei stood brazenly on the sidelines, and no one came forward to persuade her to leave.

The audience also loved watching her stand there; she was pleasing to the eye.

"This guy really cares about Kurara." Sylph muttered angrily on the sidelines, but did nothing. She understood that Lorenve was just being cautious.

Kurara was very cautious, while Singer's attacks were wide and powerful, with each flaming sword strike sharp and domineering.

"It's really quite impressive." Kurara gritted her teeth and steadied her knight's shield.

She could clearly sense that her opponent's attack power indicated that she was stronger than herself.

They've fallen into a situation where they're being attacked again. Fortunately, the Knight class is a class with high defense and high health.

"Silver Flash Charge!" Kurara withstood several attacks and seized a fleeting opportunity.

boom--

With a loud thud, Singer's Flaming Sword met Kurara's impact head-on.

But he staggered back a few steps before regaining his footing.

Kurala's attack was ineffective, so he immediately retreated and tightened his defense.

"Damn it!" Singh got anxious and suddenly raised his aura, unleashing his full power.

Lorenwei's gaze sharpened immediately.
