A Total Of Ninety-Three Times! Among Them There Were Three Times...

“…………..”

The referee, Ice Tina, had already formed ice crystals on her hands behind her back.

At this final critical moment, if anyone faltered or faced mortal danger, she would immediately stop it.

But the two were extraordinarily powerful and their impact too fierce; Ice Tina might not be able to control both of them.

Moreover, this kind of duel required a decisive victor, making it difficult to stop midway.

Just as everyone on the duel platform focused intently, awaiting the outcome!

“Sigh……….”

On the high platform, Young Master Naiye finished the cake in his hand and after enjoying President Meiyu’s handmade coffee.

He sighed, stood up, and turned to Meiyu, saying.

“I need you to instruct Weiluxika later; although she is your senior, she is somewhat weaker than you.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

President Meiyu clasped her hands gracefully and bowed to the departing Young Master Naiye.

Her face still carried her squinting eyes and a gentle smile, making people feel relaxed and warm.

In the end, on the duel platform, a regrettable scene occurred.

Just when everyone thought the Flame Lance Knight Manaen’s self-sacrificing fiery lance charge would secure victory at the last moment!

The Dark Knight Weiluxika held her defense steadily and did not attack proactively.

The Flame Lance Knight Manaen simply collapsed…….

She charged halfway, in the middle of the duel platform.

The flames finally dissipated, the fiery warhorse vanished, and Manaen’s body could no longer withstand it—she fainted.

Ice Tina sighed and then announced— the battle is over.

“Battle over! The victor is Dark Knight Weiluxika!!”

The whole venue fell silent; there were no raucous cheers, only sighs of regret.

Yet everyone had to admit that today’s battle was exceptionally excellent.

It was recognition for both the Dark Knight and the Flame Lance Knight—this duel was truly spectacular!

Weiluxika lowered her Dark Sky Halberd and solemnly bowed to everyone.

Then she looked toward the fallen Flame Lance Knight Manaen.

The Fire Element Knight Fire Lina came down to help the fainted Manaen up and held her in her arms.

Even wearing armor and with considerable weight, Manaen was easily lifted by Fire Lina.

“Congratulations on your victory, Dark Knight Weiluxika.”

“Yes, thank you for your congratulations.”

The two knights exchanged one last look as Fire Lina took Manaen away.

It was obvious.

The Dark Knight Weiluxika had a premonition that Young Master Naiye would sooner or later make her fight the Fire Element Knight.

And she found herself actually looking forward to that battle.

Ice Tina and Weiluxika watched Fire Lina leave.

After the victory, Weiluxika originally intended to leave immediately and go find Young Master Naiye.

But she encountered a sudden knight she didn’t know at all?

Rena, the Silver Moon Knight of the Three Moons Knight Order.

Saying she “met” her felt more like the other had deliberately been waiting here for Weiluxika.

Her bright silver hair and eyes reminded one of the beautiful silver moon in the night sky.

Upon seeing the Silver Moon Knight, Weiluxika instinctively wanted to hide her dark-hued markings.

Like the opposition of dark and white, it made Weiluxika feel somewhat inferior.

Moreover, the Dark Knight found it odd—although Rena’s posture and etiquette were polite and elegant, she seemed a bit overly enthusiastic?

Is she trying to win her over?

“You did win after all; truly deserving of being Young Master Naiye’s knight! Congratulations on winning the duel.”

“Yes… Thank you very much. May I ask what is it you want with me?”

“Your victory was brilliant, so I would like to invi—”

“Weiluxika! Rena! What are you talking about? Can you tell me?”

Meiyu, the Student Council President of the Auriel Knight Academy, had appeared at the corner as if by magic!

And the Dark Knight Weiluxika had not noticed at all!

With pale blue wings lightly fluttering, President Meiyu kindly greeted the two.

The Silver Moon Knight’s delicate eye twitched as she glanced between President Meiyu and Weiluxika.

“It’s nothing; I’ll speak with you alone next time.”

After bowing, Rena Silvermoon immediately left; her hurried manner made it seem as if President Meiyu had sent her away.

“Dark Knight Weiluxika, congratulations on securing the first victory in the Academy.”

“Uh, it’s nothing.”

Weiluxika now felt a bit puzzled, but President Meiyu appeared very kind.

And Young Master Naiye had once told her that President Meiyu was her junior by less than twenty-four hours.

However, Weiluxika didn’t quite know how to handle President Meiyu’s overly familiar approach.

President Meiyu’s squinted eyes seemed to radiate a gaze of expectation and delight.

“You need to go back later; come to me first for some instructive training.”

“Huh? But Young Master Naiye—”

“This is at Young Master Naiye’s request, and also a reward for your victory.”

Since it’s Young Master Naiye’s instruction and is training personally given by President Meiyu, this might be something to look forward to.

Especially in President Meiyu’s squinted eyes—Weiluxika hadn’t seen anything specific.

But she did perceive in that gaze a strange yet purely sincere feeling.

Still, she felt something was off.

“…………”

While following the Student Council President, the Dark Knight Weiluxika looked at President Meiyu’s pale blue wings.

Suddenly remembering that Young Master Naiye had mentioned Fire Lina had been challenging President Meiyu for a while, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“President Meiyu, may I ask how many times Fire Lina has challenged you?”

President Meiyu stopped and slowly turned back; Weiluxika was surprised to feel that the President’s squinted eyes seemed to emit a terrifying pressure!

But she still answered Weiluxika’s question.

“A total of 93 times, on this duel platform.”

They had fought 93 duels in total—this made Weiluxika even more eager to know the details.

“So… how did they go?”

“Ninety-three times; Fire Lina was knocked unconscious by me every time.

“But… in three of those, I nearly wanted to give up.”

“……….”

Weiluxika felt a tightness in her chest.

Previously Young Master Naiye had also said that her greatest opponent might very well be the Fire Element Knight, and she indeed wanted to test herself against Fire Lina now.

But Young Master Naiye had said she was not yet a match.

In reality, it seemed she still had a considerable gap to close.

The slight pride Weiluxika had just felt immediately dissipated under President Meiyu’s gaze.

Seeing the Dark Knight in such a fine state, President Meiyu smiled with satisfaction.

“This is why you will undergo training shortly; Young Master Naiye is very much looking forward to your progress.”

“Yes, I understand.”

‘Since this is what Young Master Naiye hopes for, I will give it my all!’
