I don't want to be an elf!

She would definitely do anything that could win over a pretty girl.

Upon learning that her long-lost teacher had appeared at the Hexagram, Sylvia rushed to the hospital.

After learning the cause, process, and outcome of the incident, Sylvia expressed her sincere gratitude to Miku Izayoi.

Pedra is her agent, but it was her mentor, Usla, who nurtured her into the person she is today.

One of the purposes of her world tour was to try to find the whereabouts of her missing mentor.

Now that Usla has been found, one of Sylvia's biggest wishes in life has been fulfilled, and her feelings for Miku Izayoi have naturally increased dramatically.

Although from the outside, the relationship between the two should be like that of fierce rivals, and sooner or later there will be a battle between a veteran diva and a rising idol for the title of the most popular idol.

However, Sylvia was not a person who enjoyed fighting, and with the help of Miku Izayoi finding her mentor, the two quickly became familiar with each other.

The two most popular girls from the six-pointed star group walked together, and Irene had no idea what others thought.

She would only mourn for Sylvia in her heart.

The gaze directed at this world's number one diva even contained a hint of pity.

It was like witnessing a little white rabbit walk into the den of a big bad wolf.

However, that's not something she needs to care about.

The only thing she needed to care about was helping Miku Izayoi win the Star Festival.

A few days ago, Irene defeated the team from the Seventh Academy of the World Dragons in the opening ceremony and advanced to the top 128. Then, in the second duel, she defeated the team from the St. Galedovath Academy and advanced to the top 64.

Following the destruction of the Golden Bough Alliance, she continued her momentum of taking on two opponents at once, defeating the combination from Lev Black Academy in the third duel to advance to the top 32, and then defeating the combination from Seidoukan Academy in the fourth duel to advance to the top 16.

The Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival has finally reached its climax.

Of the 258 strong teams from various academies, only 16 teams remained in the dueling arena after four rounds of selection.

They are all absolute elites from various academies.

Therefore, the popularity of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival not only did not decrease compared to the opening ceremony, but it became even more popular.

Five days passed quickly.

A new round of duels has begun.

----------

----------

A six-pointed star, Sirius's giant egg.

This is the fifth duel of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival.

The remaining 16 teams will continue to compete to determine the top 8.

The audience, packed with people, remained enthusiastic, with every chair occupied.

As the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival progresses, although the number of battles on the field decreases by half each time, the level of excitement increases significantly.

The battles between elites thrilled everyone who attended the Star Dance Festival.

"The victors of this duel are Aldi and Rimshi from the Alcant Research Institute!"

Seeing that the outcome was clear, the referee announced the result of the duel with great enthusiasm.

In the dueling arena, both the pitch-black humanoid machine wielding a giant hammer and the android with a human appearance laid down their weapons.

Opposite them, two wounded girls, unable to fight, picked up their respective weapons.

Neither the winner nor the loser showed any extreme emotional fluctuations; instead, they nodded to their opponents.

"Although Sasamiya Saya and Kirin Toudou from Seidoukan Academy were unfortunately defeated, they still showed us the demeanor and attitude of strong players, living up to their titles of second and ninth place!" The referee easily stirred up the atmosphere on the field. "This is the kind of Star Martial Arts Festival we want to see, this is the Star Martial Arts Festival we strive for. Let us give our sincerest respect to these two teams!"

Aldi and Rimshi from the Alcant Research Institute, and Sasamiya Saya and Toudou Kirin from Seidokan Academy, both made their exits.

However, the audience kept replaying their battle in their minds. The spectacular duel kept their cheers going even after the two had left the stage.

"Then, the next duel will be between Ayato Amagiri, ranked first from Seidokan Academy, and Julis Alexia von Risfeld, ranked fifth, and Miku Izayoi, ranked third from Quinvue Academy, and Irene Urses, ranked fourth!"

After the atmosphere in the arena had calmed down a bit, the referee cleared her throat and announced the contestants for the next match: "Although contestant Irene fought like a whirlwind, managing to enter the round of 16 by defeating two opponents at once, she only narrowly won her last duel. Now she has encountered the strongest seeded team from Seidokan Academy. Will this time be able to bring out the princess who has missed four duels? Let's wait and see!"

The two large gates on the left and right sides of the dueling arena opened.

In one of the passageways, Ayato Amagiri took a deep breath, calming his agitated mind.

There are many formidable enemies in this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival.

However, relying on his swordsmanship and the extremely difficult-to-match Pure Radiance-style weapon, the Black Furnace Demon Sword, he defeated all his opponents and finally entered the battle to advance from sixteen to eight.

He and his companions have been analyzing Irene's fighting style and the Pure Blaze-style weapon, [Aosha Gong], for quite some time.

According to his calculations, the probability of him and his partner Yulis defeating Irene is only 50%.

This is assuming that Miku Izayoi will not appear.

"Oh? What did we just see!"

Just then, Ayato Amagiri heard the exclamation from the referee outside.

"It's Yuxiao! Yuxiao, who has been absent since the start of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, has finally appeared!"

Hearing the thunderous cheers coming from outside, Ayato Amagiri and Yulis exchanged a glance.

"It looks like this is going to be a tough battle."

There was no fear in Eurythm's eyes, only a burning fighting spirit.

"The odds of winning are small, but as long as they are not zero, there is a chance of victory."

Ayato Amagiri gripped the hilt of the Black Furnace Demon Sword tightly, his gaze gradually hardening.

“Let’s go, Julis. It’s time to meet our opponent.”

Chapter Sixty-One: An Enticing Proposal

If you participate in the Star Martial Festival, you are bound to encounter the main characters of this world.

However, Izayoi Miku never expected that this day would come so soon.

In the round of 16 to 8, she encountered Ayato Amagiri and Yulis, the duo who won the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival in the original work.

Her appearance as a butterfly has significantly altered the original plot.

"Although my appearance prevented them from winning the championship, I destroyed the Golden Bough Alliance, which can be considered compensation for them."

As Miku Izayoi smiled and waved to the audience from all directions, she thought to herself, "Even if I win the championship this time, and their original wishes cannot be fulfilled, it's not a big problem. I can just wait another year to participate in the next Star Martial Festival."

After convincing herself, the slight guilt she felt for taking the championship that rightfully belonged to the other person quickly dissipated.

"I thought you wouldn't come this time either."

Amid the cheers of the surrounding audience, Irene, carrying the Slayer, looked at the two opponents who walked out of the passage in the distance and said with a hint of relief, "The opponents I have encountered before are not even in the same league as these two. If I were to fight them alone, I really wouldn't have much of a chance to win."

"Are you saying you're weak with a clear conscience?" Miku Izayoi glanced at her sideways. "Anyway, if we lose, you know what will happen."

"We have no choice but to win this time."

Remembering their agreement, Irene immediately became serious and said, "Although the enemy is troublesome, with your help, the chances of winning are still very high. Remember to give me a buff later."

"You don't need to tell me."

As the two chatted, Ayato Amagiri and Yulis also entered the dueling arena.

Compared to Miku Izayoi and Irene, the two of them had very serious expressions, as if they were on a battlefield rather than at the Star Festival.

"Are you under a lot of pressure?" Miku Izayoi asked with a smile. "It would be a waste if you didn't smile more often on your cute face."

"Anyone would feel pressured facing you," Ayato Amagiri replied politely. "Nice to meet you in the upcoming duel."

"Who's talking to you? You're just being presumptuous." Miku Izayoi's expression was clearly one of disdain. "You're such a clueless guy, can't you tell I'm talking to Yulis?"

"Ah...sorry..." Ayato Amagiri awkwardly scratched his head and didn't say anything more.

“Thank you for your concern, but appropriate pressure is a motivator for us and can help us perform better,” Yulis replied with a straight face. “You are indeed very strong, but we also have reasons to win. Don’t underestimate us.”

"How could that be? I'm not underestimating you."

When her gaze turned to Yulis, the disdain on Miku Izayoi's face was instantly replaced by a sweet smile, and she said in a rather friendly tone, "Speaking of which, I remember Yulis is a princess from some country, right?"

“That’s right, I am the first princess of the Kingdom of Lezetania.”

When her identity was mentioned, Yulis proudly puffed out her chest: "I am participating in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival this time so that my motherland can have more opportunities for development and the people can be happier."

"What a noble reason! It really moves me."

As if she understood her aspirations, Miku Izayoi nodded slightly: "If I have the chance, I would also like to hold a concert in Yulis's homeland. That way, it would also boost the tourism revenue of the Kingdom of Lezetania, right?"

"Are you... are you willing?"

Yulis seemed somewhat surprised, her stern face softened slightly, and her wary tone took on a hint of sincerity: "Then thank you very much. The influence of a top idol is indeed of great help to our country."

“You’re welcome. Helping cute girls is one of my hobbies,” Miku Izayoi said with a smile. “Actually, I have another suggestion. Would you like to consider it, Yulis?”

"what?"

“If Yulis is willing to join Quinvy Children’s Academy, I can surrender right away,” Miku Izayoi said expectantly. “Just transferring schools would allow me to avoid this unlikely duel, which I personally think is a great suggestion.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Because the conversation in the dueling arena was broadcast to the entire arena, not only the people in the arena, but also the audience and the referee heard it.

"Oh my! Yuujou has offered such tempting terms! Will Yulis agree?"

The female referee was excitedly conducting the event.

Even after so many Star Martial Festivals, this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

All the Star Pulse Generations are vying to win the Star Martial Arts Festival and have the six major conglomerates grant their wishes.

Miku Izayoi has already made it into the top 16, so she has a very good chance of winning the championship.

However, she was willing to give up the chance to win the championship so that a student could transfer to another school.

Should we say she's too fond of Yulis, or too indifferent to winning the Star Warrior Festival?

But regardless of the reason, neither of them made Yulis feel too good.

"What a joke! You really don't take us seriously!" Yulis shouted angrily. "This is the Star Martial Festival, a place where generations of Star Veins settle their scores fairly with martial arts. Someone like you doesn't deserve to stand on this stage."
