I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

There are some things that you won’t understand clearly enough unless you see them with your own eyes.

Lilith stood at the chief position as a commoner. It was inevitable that she would be harassed by the nobles. Even without her, there would be other nobles who would try to kick her family off the stage. Before all this happened, let Yazi tell everyone in a duel:

Think about it, it's not just Lilith, Azi is not a mediocre person either, plus the equally outstanding Mona, whether they should challenge three extraordinary geniuses who may step into the holy ranks in the future just for the so-called noble honor, and also think about what kind of person is standing behind them and raising such an outstanding daughter.

I have to say, it is really reassuring to have a close friend like Alice to pave the way for them, if the unlucky person chosen is not themselves.

After figuring everything out, Hao Lianna couldn't help but sigh.

But it's not all bad for her. It's better to say that there are more advantages. The Southern Territory is different now than before, and it really needs someone to stand up. If she can beat Yazi in this duel, then many children from the Southern Territory should be able to gather around her. This is indeed a rare shortcut to achieving her goal.

But this feeling of not wanting to win at all...

I don't want Mona to say anything distasteful.

Then let's try our best to end it in a draw or hold out until the teachers come and mediate the matter.

Mediation...

Suddenly I understand why Alice is obsessed with her. Is she doing her a favor while protecting Ayako and the others?

He looked at the tax evader Alice again, and this time his eyes met hers.

【Plan passed】, I seemed to see these words in her eyes.

Oh, is this part of your plan, Alice?

That's amazing! Could she understand this as a signal from the Kalel Empire showing goodwill to the South?

But that's something we'll talk about later, so don't let others look down on you now.

"Red-flaming Phoenix, Hollyanna Leopold, please teach me!"

Having said this, Haoliana drew out her sword, and red flames burned on it, just like her pure will, even the air was twisted and burned.

Reporting your name and family name in advance is also one of the rules of duels.

"Um, um, um, ahhhhh!!!" Covering her head in distress, Yazi screamed, then turned back dejectedly to Alice in the audience for help.

[Seeking a title, waiting online, very urgent. 】

"A title? Light Idiot, not so smart Azi, here I come!"

Alice acted in all seriousness as she performed the exaggerated Sentairanger appearance pose that Jiang Lan had taught her.

"Ok, Light Idiot...wait, Alice, you are tricking me again."

"Well~ I don't think I'm wrong. Anyway, Ako, go face her! Mona is still looking at you."

"Don't worry." With a thumbs up and a dazzling smile on his face, Yazi turned around, drew his sword, and made a sword flower handsomely, which caused a burst of screams.

A battle against peers.

“I will not fail!”

#I won't fail, are you Michiko Daimon? #

ps: The last one is not a flag, but a positive buff, because she is a big shot (laughs).

140. Yazi's Trap

The battle of egos between the great nobles and the common people among the new recruits was really quite a gimmick. Before the duel began, the seats were already full and the noise was deafening. The various cheers and boos made people feel uneasy. However, due to the existence of a one-way soundproofing barrier, although the sounds within the barrier could be transmitted unhindered, the sounds from the outside world could not affect the two people in the duel.

It is not used for fighting but for sparring. The academy's arena does not have any obstacles. It is just a wide round platform, which leaves room for people to dodge and move around without turning into a meaningless chase.

Because it was a private fight, the duel arena that was finally approved was only a level three duel arena. However, it was sufficient. There were level four magic circles all around for protection, and the newcomers basically could not hurt the spectators in the surrounding stands.

The rules are also very simple, there are only two points: be upright and stop in time.

Because the opening ceremony had just ended, neither of them had swords, so they took the standard equipment provided by the duel arena. Although it was not as sharp as the weapons they usually used, it was still handy. More importantly, the cutting-edge weapons in the other world often had enchantments, which had a certain degree of blessing on the user and the strength of the fighting spirit of specific attributes. This made it seem more fair, so that the winner would not be blamed for the weapons behind his back.

Born into an ancient aristocratic family and having practiced chivalry since childhood, Hollyanna chose a half-hand sword that combines the lightness of a broadsword, the thrust of a knight's sword, the slashing and hacking of a two-handed sword, and the classic style of a longsword. She is dexterous enough in the use of various sword moves, making it obvious at a glance that she is prepared to win with her exquisite swordsmanship.

As for Yazi, he prefers heavy chops rather than delicate swordplay, and wants to overwhelm his opponent with a big swing, so he usually uses a two-handed sword suitable for heavy cuts. But that's only under normal circumstances. In a normal sword fight, the two-handed sword that was designed to adapt to the battlefield is too heavy. It's okay to use it to abuse the group of stupid nobles in the Kalil Empire, but it will easily fall behind when facing a master with superb swordsmanship.

Taking this into consideration, Ayako's final choice was a katana that was suitable for chopping and dexterous enough.

"Tachi?" Alice couldn't help but frowned when she saw Ako drawing her sword.

As far as she could remember, she had never seen Ako use a katana before. She always used a two-handed sword and chopped from the south gate of Fenghua Academy all the way to the north gate.

"Are you good at using the sword?"

If you don't understand, just ask. Alice asked Mona for her opinion.

"I don't know much about this, but the katana should be the best weapon that Ayako can use, because Ayako admires her mother very much, and if her mother's broken blade is restored, it will be a katana."

Because it is a weapon used by mother, it is used best. It is indeed the style of Ayako, a mother-control freak.

But this also shows that Yazi did not underestimate the enemy, but was serious. It seems that after just one contact yesterday, Yazi already had enough understanding of the opponent's strength - Hao Lianna is not an opponent who can be underestimated.

"here we go."

While chatting and laughing, the referee had already stood on the edge of the ring and was ready to toss a coin. The moment the coin landed was the moment the duel began.

With a more stable character, Hao Lianna was not prepared to attack before she knew how strong Yazi was. Instead, she took a defensive stance, holding her sword diagonally in front of her. The blazing fighting spirit rose from the sword, causing the air around her to distort slightly. She stared at Yazi's tense body with sharp eyes, guessing in her mind the direction and technique of Yazi's attack, and even caught the slight tremor of her calf muscles.

Yazi's words were exactly the opposite of Haoliana's. All strategies and tactics were based on the word "reckless". Before the coin fell, he kicked back with his left leg, like a cheetah, and leaned forward to lower his center of gravity just to be able to advance faster.

Not only that, she even held the knife with both hands and raised it horizontally at her waist, telling the opponent clearly that my first attack can only be a cassock slash or a right cut. She was simply saying that if you can take it, show it to me. Her domineering aura was already revealed before she even started.

boom--

The coin did not make a clear sound when it fell to the ground, but rather the sound of a sword roaring. It was an overly swift strike by Yazi. Before anyone could hear the sound of the coin, a flash of white light appeared, and a cassock strike fell from top to bottom onto the flaming sword of Haoliana. The powerful strike actually dispersed the energy on the sword, emitting sparks.

So fast! Hao Lianna hastily took on Yazi's slash. Her pupils widened. She was secretly shocked by Yazi's instantaneous and swift attack. It was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through her sword and revealing the outcome.

Moreover, it was so heavy that just one hit made her palm numb.

Is this the source of Alice's confidence? She is indeed confident.

And for such an opponent...

The corners of Hao Lianna's mouth curved up in joy. Facing such an opponent, there was no room for holding back, no possibility of a draw, only victory and defeat.

Ah, it's getting exciting. The excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

"Haa!" The fighting spirit that had been dispersed condensed again, the flames became stronger, and with a clear shout, Hao Lianna suddenly exerted force, stepped forward and pushed Yazi back half a step, and resolved Yazi's first wave of attack with force without giving up an inch.

Yazi was also excited.

"Not bad." He struck out again. Over the years, the only peer who could force Yazi to retreat head-on was Haoliana. Even though Yazi was extremely unhappy with her, he couldn't help but praise her.

"Each each other."

She leaned sideways to block, and tried to adjust her posture to find an opportunity to counterattack. The flames and the blazing light intertwined, and the half-sword and the sword opened and closed. The roar of the swords was endless. Neither side had any intention of giving in, and they exchanged several moves in an instant...

"It seems like they are evenly matched."

Offstage, Gwendolyn had stood beside Mona and Alice without them noticing, watching the sword duel between the two on the stage and making low comments.

"No, how can it be possible that they are evenly matched?"

"Oh? You are only a first-class magician. Can you see their moves clearly, Your Highness Alice?"

Gwendolyn said this in a choking tone as an inexplicable atmosphere lingered. If Mona were to comment, it would be that this was just the jealousy between rivals in love.

"I can't see clearly, but there is one thing I know very well. Although Yazi is a straightforward guy in daily life, he will become very cunning once he enters a battle. The current situation is not so much that the two are evenly matched with each other, but rather that Yazi is luring Hao Lianna into his own rhythm."

"After all, she is a latecomer. Ayako's swordsmanship is not pure. If she uses force, she may have a chance of winning against a girl with only half-baked swordsmanship. But if you want to fight her head-on, Ayako has absolute confidence to crush all enemies."

"And now, because of Yazi's unrestrained and unchanging sword moves and powerful slashes, Hao Lianna, who is angry and wants to compete with Yazi in strength, has no idea that she has fallen into Yazi's trap. Although they are still fighting back and forth, I'm afraid the situation will soon turn around."

Sure enough, as soon as Alice finished her words, there was a loud bang. After several sword collisions, facing Ako's sudden right cut, Haoliana was knocked back several steps. The half-sword in her hand rose uncontrollably and even showed signs of slipping out of her hand. Facing the katana that took advantage of the momentum, she was unable to adjust her posture and suddenly fell into an extremely disadvantageous position.

"Here comes the power of Ako Bear!"

#Fools can sometimes become smart, and Hollyanna fell into the trap. #

ps: Regarding the description of fighting scenes, it is still a mysterious area for me that I have only tried a few times. This chapter of more than 2,000 words, including searching for information and conceiving the scenes, took more than three and a half hours. Although I still have the energy to continue writing, considering the time, I have to give up writing the next chapter.

Because I live in school and the power goes out at 11 o'clock, my laptop can only last until a little after 2 o'clock. I definitely won't be able to finish the fight scene in the next chapter by then, so today I can only code as much as possible so that I can send it early tomorrow morning, instead of finishing it and sending it tonight.

I haven't been working hard lately, so I have started to update more than twice a day. I feel really sorry about that.

Leave

I've been in a really bad state these past few days. Maybe the disadvantages of my habit of staying up late have finally shown up. My thoughts have been really blocked these days. I've been conceiving the scenes in my mind for a long time, but when it comes to writing, I just can't press the keyboard no matter what. So I'm going to take a day off and let me change my mind.

Sorry.

141. Feiyan and the Savage Bear

In the ring, Yazi and Haoliana fought with swords.

Clang, Clang, Clang!

Just like forging iron, every time the rapier and the katana touched each other, there was such a crisp sound. Every strike was the most basic sword move without any frills. Every strike was a collision between forces. It was fast, heavy and fierce, like two wild bears waving their iron fists at each other to resist the force. This kind of almost fist-to-flesh pleasure of fighting made the audience under the ring exclaim that it was so satisfying.

The two people on the stage did the same, dancing wildly with swords in their hands. An excited smile appeared on Haoliana's face. Like Yazi, it was the first time for her to show such strength in a battle among her peers. Unlike the fools she had met before, being able to unleash the burning fighting spirit in her body without any scruples was a joyful thing for her, so she waved her rapier to fight with all her strength.

But this was not normal. The battle went off the track when she was inspired by Ayako's madness and decided to fight her head-on.

The Leopold family has been a warrior family since ancient times. As the only direct descendant, the efforts that Hollyanna has made in swordsmanship are unimaginable to ordinary people. Her teacher, Liu Zhen Ingersoll, is well-known in the southern border and is a sword saint praised for his exquisite swordsmanship. Therefore, although she is only thirteen years old, her swordsmanship is so exquisite that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In this situation, she should have used her exquisite swordsmanship skillfully, dancing her sword lightly amidst the swift and fierce slashes like a storm, breaking the force with ingenuity, and weaving and turning among the heavy slashes of the wild bear Yazi like a flying swallow, disrupting the opponent's pace, oppressing the opponent's nerves, and seeking an opportunity to win with one blow with her swift wings, instead of confronting the giant bear head-on like a flying swallow.

And soon she suffered the consequences.

What Alice said was absolutely correct. There would be no peer who could compete with Yazi in strength. Only by knowing one's own weaknesses can one make the best of one's strengths. Yazi knew clearly that her swordsmanship was no match for Haoliana. In the previous battle with Haoliana, Yazi had indeed held back in order to lure her into his rhythm.

Feeling the gradually steady force coming from the blade, Yazi clearly realized that this was the limit of Haoliana's strength. Although it was already amazing, Feiyan was still Feiyan after all, and she could not defeat the powerful bear head-on. It was time to close the net and catch the bird.

After fighting with Hao Lianna again, Yazi finally retreated a little, which in the eyes of the audience below the ring was a sign that she was a little exhausted.

It is said that the Olipold family has the blood of the phoenix in their bodies. When fighting, not only are their flames pure and burning, but their internal strength is also like the phoenix nirvana. As soon as the old strength is exhausted, new strength is generated, and the circulation is endless. At this moment, it was beyond everyone's expectations that Yazi could fight with Haoliana for dozens of blows in a row, but as expected, he was exhausted.

Haoliana had the same idea on this point. Just as she was about to press on to win, a trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart. The faint intuition born from years of swordsmanship practice came into play at this moment. It was then that Haoliana noticed the confident smile on Yazi's face, and a look of surprise flashed across her brows.

"Aha!"

With a loud shout, Yazi suddenly exerted force on his retreating right leg and swung his sword again. His speed was even faster than before, and his force was ten times stronger.
