Clang!
The rune sword left his hand and fell to the ground. However, Cecil didn't pick it up. He didn't even give it another glance.
A swordsman who had already lost his confidence might not even need a sword.
Since he wanted to provoke Wang Zhong, he should be prepared to accept defeat.
Wang Zhong carefully recalled the previous fight. Sometimes, drinking a little wine would make him feel relaxed and free. Such a fight was indeed very refreshing.
However, Scarlet's gaze had turned as hot as the sun. She really felt that she had drunk too much and was hallucinating. Or perhaps, she was dreaming, an extremely beautiful dream.
Wang Zhong couldn't help but turn his head, only to see Scarlet's small mouth slightly open and unable to close for a long time. Her beautiful eyes were wide and round as she stared at him. It was as if she had seen a monster.
Wang Zhong also felt that it was funny. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. "Scarlet, Scarlet?"
"Ah?" It took a long while for Scarlet to regain her senses.
He had actually won! His opponent was Cecil! His opponent was really Cecil! Wang Zhong had won! Using a sword! Using a sword! Oh my god!
"It's over. We can leave now." Wang Zhong smiled. "I don't want to spend the night here."
"Spend the night? The two of us? Ah! " Scarlet finally regained her senses and her face turned even redder. "Cough cough. Good. Captain Wang Zhong, you're really good. You actually hid such a move. I always thought you were an archer. It turns out that you're also good with a sword. If you practice a few more things, you'll be able to catch up to All Mouthy King!"
Wang Zhong smiled and nodded his head. "Let me tell you a secret. I'm actually All Mouthy King!"
Scarlet gawked and couldn't help but laugh. "I always thought you liked to keep a low profile. So it turns out that the great captain also has a bragging side. But seeing how well you performed today, I'll treat you as All Mouthy King. Brother King, I'm your little fan. Can I treat you to a midnight snack?"
Wang Zhong shrugged his shoulders. "How can I reject a beauty's invitation?" Both of them smiled. This was a beautiful night. Scarlet was filled with even more anticipation for the future of the Tianjing Squadron.
It was clear that Scarlet wasn't the only one who was filled with hope for the future. When they returned to the academy the next day, the atmosphere within the academy had completely changed.
In the past, Tianjing Academy was known as the Logistics Academy. There were far more people researching rune technology than training grounds. There wasn't much hope for the academy's future, and the entire academy was in a state of muddle-headedness.
But now, it seemed that the faces of all the students were brimming with the passion of youth. No matter what they did, they seemed to be particularly energetic. It was only early in the morning, but the tranquility of the campus had already been broken by the sound of two or three discussions.
"I think our academy has a chance this year. Are we going to recreate the momentum of Teacher Grace's brave charge into the quarterfinals?"
"It's possible! Last year, when Copperfield defeated Adolf, they were already having a hard time in the group battle. How long did our group battle last night take? Three minutes? Not a single one of them died. "
"At the level of a truly strong team, team battles are the most important! With such a strong team formation, we'll be able to smash Copperfield! "
"Even so, it'll be very difficult to match Teacher Grace's record of entering the quarterfinals. I've heard that quite a few hidden aristocratic families and great aristocratic families will be participating in this year's CHF. There are also many hidden experts from the Federation. The competition will definitely be much more intense than in previous CHF's. Even Copperfield, a former quarterfinalist, might not be able to enter the quarterfinals."
"We still have Grai! And Barran! And Scarlet! The strongest soldier, the strongest heavy soldier, and the strongest dual pistols! Fuck! That's an invincible formation! Who cares who his opponent is? What's there to be afraid of! "
"Speaking of which, between Grai and Barran, who do you think is stronger in a duel?"
"It's still Grai, right? Yesterday's performance didn't feel like it was at its peak. Barran is indeed very strong, but he's more of a team battle. He shouldn't have much of a chance against Grai in a duel. "
"Fuck! Barran really scared me yesterday! Never did I expect him to be a secret weapon! Didn't Barran say that his Soul Sea had suffered a serious injury and had collapsed? Looks like it was a smokescreen released by the squadron! "
"That's possible! That's what you call pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger! To think that I was so worried and on edge yesterday. "
"In fact, Scarlet is also very strong. Although she lost a duel, her performance in the group battle was remarkable. What's more, the one who lost was Cecil. He's a ferocious person who fought one against five in the group battle."
"One against five … that's definitely not a compliment. Heh heh, you're doing it on purpose!"
"Ha ha ha! If someone were to go to Adolf Academy and say those words, they would definitely go crazy!"
Various kinds of discussions and discussions filled the entire campus, with all sorts of things being said. Nevertheless, the excited atmosphere and expectations for the future CHF were absolutely the same as everyone else's.
Without a doubt, Barran and Grai had become the most eye-catching stars and heroes. Regardless of whether it was the duel or the group battle, the two of them had basically turned the tide at the crucial juncture. At the very least, that was how it appeared on the surface. Just like in a basketball match, the audience would always focus their attention on those superstars who were worth millions of dollars. They would go crazy for the inconceivable attacks they made. However, they didn't know that the coaches who constantly changed the lineup, rotated the members, and adjusted the offense and defense of their opponents were, in fact, the key to victory.
The effects of an individual could never be compared to that of a group. However, the superstar effect had always been like this since ancient times.
Today, Scarlet was wearing a beautiful pleated skirt. She had even intentionally or unintentionally eaten breakfast in the academy's canteen. After dilly-dallying for half an hour, she 'accidentally' bumped into Wang Zhong and happily walked along the same path.
"Ha ha. It seems that no one remembers our great captain's contributions."
"Is that so?" Wang Zhong was exceptionally refreshed today. "Looks like there's a need to print a few large words on the back of my shirt. I'll write 'Our great captain is the hero'."
"As long as you wear it," said Scarlet, amused by his expression, "I guarantee that it'll be extremely eye-catching. It won't be a problem to print it in 4D!"
"Wang Zhong? Scarlet? "Hymin's voice rang out from behind him as she walked over with a newspaper in her hand.
"Senior Sister Hymin actually has a habit of reading newspapers?"
"Normally, I hate these nostalgic things the most. Even though the Skylink is so convenient, there's still a need for such formalism. However, this newspaper is different." Hymin raised her chin in a pleased manner.
"What newspaper?" asked Scarlet curiously as she scooted over.
"See for yourself!" Hymin could not help but burst into laughter. She flipped open the newspaper in front of the two, only to see a large photo printed on the front page. It was the one from yesterday's duel, where Barran had sent Rosenberg flying. It had to be said that only by maintaining such a thing could one have such a high class feeling. Naturally, the main channel of dissemination was still through the Skylink.
The Barran in the photo couldn't be considered handsome, but he was brimming with vigor and manliness. The moment he roared out in anger, the photo was rather domineering. Coupled with an eye-catching half-page headline: Tianjing Academy defeats Adolf Academy, creating the best result in the last ten years of the exchange competition!
(Fellows, happy weekend!)
