Anime Crossover: I Was Chosen by a Goddess and Became the Demon King

Upon seeing this, Shinomiya Kurono immediately voiced her doubts: "Don't you need to give your students a little encouragement before the competition starts?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe calmly replied, "If even a preliminary round like this needs encouragement, then the training of the past two weeks has been wasted."

Upon hearing Bai Zhe's answer, Shinomiya Kuro also felt that there was some truth to it.

"Alright, it's up to you to decide. They're all your disciples anyway."

Outside the giant egg-shaped arena at Po Jun Academy, Stella and her six companions had been waiting for quite some time.

The seven beautiful and powerful girls naturally attracted a lot of attention, and anyone passing by, regardless of gender, would take a second look.

As Stella watched the endless stream of people entering the arena, she grew increasingly anxious.

"By the way, why aren't Zhe-jun and Teacher Ningyin here yet?"

As the girl finished speaking, Kanata Takehara, who was wearing a dress, a sun hat, and holding a parasol and looked nothing like someone who had come to participate in the preliminaries, slowly spoke up and answered Stella's question.

"It's probably because this is just a preliminary round. If it were the real Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, he would probably see us off."

As a noblewoman, she was better able to see through Bai Zhe's thoughts than Stella, the princess.

Upon hearing this, Stella looked at the rising sun in the sky and suggested to the other women, "How about this? Shall we go inside and wait?"

"That's fine, so I won't be stared at like a rare animal while standing here."

These words were spoken by Usamaru Renren, a short-haired girl who held her head in her hands, looking like a tomboy.

Before the other girls could express their opinions, an old voice rang out.

"How lucky I am to meet you all here!"

"So he's at least reached the level of a B-rank knight? No wonder he's that person!"

It was Nango Torajiro who brought the boys' group, whom Shiratsu had instructed him to train, to this place.

Upon seeing the visitor, Toudou Touka bowed slightly to him.

"teacher."

"The God of War?!"

The girls were also surprised by his arrival.

Seeing this, Nango Torajiro chuckled and said, "Don't panic. I'm just doing my best. What they can learn depends entirely on their individual talents."

"Although you cannot compare to those who personally taught you, you have still made some progress."

Then, Torajiro Nango turned to the women and asked, "This year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is different from the past. Each academy only has five spots. Are you all confident in securing a spot?"

Yes! ×n

The girls' answers were powerful and resounding, even shocking the boys behind Nango Torajiro.

Upon hearing this, the God of War remained smiling and didn't press further. Instead, he turned to the boys' group behind him and said, "It seems your chances of winning in the preliminaries are slim."

After leaving those words, he led the boys' team slowly toward the arena.

It was 9:30 in a flash, and the stands in the arena were already full of people, including some businessmen and politicians from outside the city, who came here to see the strength of the new generation so they could make plans in advance.

On the stage, Yuri Oreki, with dark circles under her eyes and frail health, was arranging for people to maintain order at the scene.

Behind her, several empty seats overlooking the entire arena were reserved for Bai Zhe and his two companions.

Because the arena was almost full, Yuri Oreki was asking people about Kuroko Shinguji.

With her, the chairperson of the Po Jun Academy, present, the preliminary rounds could only officially begin after she delivered her opening remarks.

But now it's almost ten o'clock, and there's still no sign of the other party, which is making her a little anxious.

In her anxiety, she vomited a pool of blood.

This scene naturally frightened many people. Although the battle between the Blade Masters was very dangerous, surely someone shouldn't die here before the competition even started?

The moment Oreki Yuri coughed up blood, a ripple like a mirror appeared behind her, and then Bai Zhe and the other two appeared on the scene.

Just as she came out of the chairman's office, she saw Nishikyo Ningyin coughing up blood. She patted the back of her hand and said to her in a joking manner:

“I’m telling you, Xiao Youli, you’re always coughing up blood. If this continues, even a Blade Master’s body won’t be able to take it. Do you want me to give you some advice?”

Immediately afterwards, Xijing Ningyin whispered something in her ear, which surprisingly brought a touch of color back to the other's pale face.

Upon hearing this, Yuri Oreki slowly sat up, somewhat doubting the veracity of what Nishikyo Nene had just said.

Are you sure this will really cure my illness?

After all, everyone's constitution is innate. Ordinary people can barely regulate their bodies through pharmacology, but it is very difficult for those who practice swordsmanship!

Upon hearing this, Xijing Ningyin said with great certainty, "I guarantee it will be successful."

Seeing this, Yuri Oreki looked hesitantly at Shiro Tetsuo, who was sitting in the back audience seats.

"I...I'll give it a try, as long as he doesn't mind."

Given her current physical condition, she vomits a liter of blood every day, and strenuous exercise would be fatal.

To this day, not a single man dares to be with her.

After all, everyone is afraid that someone they're with might suddenly die, and they might even have to take responsibility!

Chapter 43: Academy Preliminary Rounds! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

After a series of speeches by Shinomiya Kuro and words of encouragement to the students, the school preliminary rounds of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival officially began.

The first person to be waiting in line was Kusakabe Kagami, while her opponent, Shiro Tetsuo, was someone she had never seen before, or rather, had never paid attention to.

He was just an ordinary D-rank knight, and as expected, he was instantly killed by the girl and then carried away by medical staff.

The first match ended so quickly that some people at the scene didn't even realize what had happened on the field.

It wasn't until Nishikyo Ningyin, who was sitting on the host's platform, spoke up and explained to everyone what had happened in that brief moment that the audience suddenly became lively.

"Amazing!"

“That girl is a member of our news department, right? I remember she even wrote a letter wanting to establish a new newspaper. I’ll approve it as soon as I get back. We can’t let such a promising member be lured away by other clubs!”

On the field, hearing the enthusiastic applause from the audience, Kusakabe Kagami also showed a happy smile.

Normally, she would only get beaten up by Nishikyo Ningyin, but she didn't expect her opponent to be so weak after the match started.

Is it really because Teacher Nishikyo Ningyin is too strong?

However, I really have to thank Zhe-jun for the gift that made me where I am today!

Thinking this, the girl waved to the other party 810 and Bai Zhe sitting behind Xijing Ningyin.

Seeing this, the two naturally waved in response.

The following matches were all casual games, and Ayase Ayase didn't appear until the fourth match.

However, her opponent was much stronger than Kusakabe Kagami's opponent; he was a C-rank knight, and it took the girl about half a minute to finish the battle.

As the girl sheathed her sword, her opponent lay wounded and bleeding in a pool of blood, causing many in the audience to frown and feel a chill of fear.

Many people couldn't figure out what Ayase Ayase's ability was, why her opponents would suddenly have slashes appear out of thin air, and why her opponents' wounds would be torn open again when she struck the hilt of her sword.

But after the silence came even more enthusiastic cheers than before.

Because everyone who comes here craves blood and death, although Ayase Ayase's battle doesn't reveal much, the massive amount of blood loss from her opponent is incredibly satisfying for many!

In the next match, a member of the boys' team encountered Toudou Touka. Both were members of the student council, and after exchanging pleasantries, the girl slashed him down with a single blow, ending the fight.

Since Toudou Touka was a top-four seed in the previous Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, most people already knew who would be in this battle.

However, the burden he carried in the next match was completely unexpected.

He faced off against Rai, a C-rank knight and fellow Kurogane Ikki, who had trained with him before the match.

The other person is also a member of the student council and ranks fourth in the academy, so he is very famous in Po Jun Academy.

However, due to the battle between Kurogane Ikki and Kirihara Shizuya, he became a dark horse in the eyes of many people. Although he was not as shocking as the previous girls, he should not be underestimated.

Therefore, some students in the audience viewed this battle as a closely contested contest.

However, to everyone's surprise, just one minute into the match, Kurogane Ikki defeated Suisho Rai.

Although Kurogane Ikki initially tried to defeat Suisaku Rai using sword techniques, he struggled greatly and was completely suppressed by Suisaku Rai, who was able to accumulate the power of his slashes.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use his strongest secret technique, One-Slash Asura, to condense all his power into one minute, forcibly concentrate all his magic power, enhance his physical strength dozens of times, and have blue flames burn on his body.

Having gained a general understanding of Kurogane Ikki's fighting style from his previous battle with Shattered Lightning, he defeated Kurogane Ikki in just three moves!

The sudden end of the battle, which had initially been suppressed, left most of the audience feeling unreal.

However, his actions were observed by Bai Zhe and the others.

On the stage, Nishikyo Ningyin opened her folding fan to cover her face as she commented on the winner of the battle. This was her job as a special guest for this preliminary round.

"What a pity, after using this move, it's almost equivalent to the Seven Star Sword Dance Sacrifice... Hmm? He still has the strength?"

Because the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival was brought forward, the academy preliminary rounds were compressed into one day. If a player cannot defeat his opponent within a certain time, the two sides will be reassigned to fight.

While Nishikyo Ningyin was making her assessment, she suddenly realized that although Kurogane Ikki's power was severely depleted, it had not yet reached the point where he could no longer fight.

"It seems my teacher gave him special training tailored to his situation. He's such a stubborn old man."

"Having lost to Zhejun, you're actually trying to get revenge by doing this?"

Immediately, Nishikyo Ningen and Shinguji Kurono turned their gazes to Nango Torajiro, who was sitting not far away with a smile on his face.

The God of War, noticing their gazes, looked over and gave them a kind and benevolent smile.

But what she received in return was a cunning look from Xijing Ningyin.

Because Kurogane Ikki is the only male student to advance, and because the preliminaries are different from the past, he has lost his strongest trump card after using One-Sword Shura, so the battles that follow will be the most difficult!

After the victorious Kurogane Ikki left the arena and the loser was carried away, the next match began.

It is Shizuku Kurogane and Shizuku Kirihara, who had a conflict with Ikki Kurogane but was defeated by him.

At the start of the match, Kirihara Shizuya immediately activated his ability to summon the forest, concealing his figure and intending to eliminate the girl from the shadows like a hunter aiming at its prey.

Unfortunately, his plan was doomed to fail, because the moment he shot the arrow, a huge torrent surged up from the girl's feet, almost instantly engulfing the entire arena and freezing the whole forest into ice, ending the battle!

Then came the highly anticipated battle of Princess Familion.

Princess Crimson Lotus, who entered the school as an A-rank knight with the highest grades, has attracted attention from all sides since the beginning.

Unfortunately, her opponent was also a member of the women's team, Usamaru Renren.

At this moment, the usually lively and energetic short-haired girl looked helpless in the face of Princess Crimson Lotus.

"Why is it that you're the first person I have to fight?"

As a member of the women's group, how could she not know Stella's power?

The shattered forest behind Po Jun Academy is the best proof of this.

Although she is now a B-rank knight, she is no match for Stella, whose innate magical power is at the level of an A-rank knight!

She had originally planned to take advantage of this preliminary round to make a good impression on Bai Zhe.

This shitty random arrangement system!

Stella felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, after all, the other person was her senior sister, and eliminating her in the first round made her feel a bit emotional.

Rationally, Stella felt that she was certain to win this battle.

So, seeing this, the scarlet-haired girl, after hearing Usamaru Renren's helpless complaint, also said, "How about this, I won't use the Dragon Slayer Secret Technique?"

Chapter 44 The Allure of the Numerical Monster! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

"Then it's a deal!"

Hearing Stella's words, the previously distressed face of the rabbit Lianlian instantly broke into a joyful smile.

Although Stella said she didn't need the Dragon Slayer technique that Bai Zhe taught her, she felt that she was no match for him when playing Rabbit Lover.

However, compared to the opponent directly using a big move at the start, I was judged to have lost the game.

It's better to block the opponent's ultimate move; that way, my chances of winning seem a bit higher.
