“.....”
Seeing that the time of the competition was getting closer and closer, but Ichikawa didn't show up from beginning to end. Everyone was silent, and tension filled the air.
There was no other way.
If Ichikawa didn't show up on time, it would be a big problem.
That competition was very important to Ichikawa. If he didn't show up on time, Ichikawa would be disqualified, and he would lose the opportunity to participate in the Seven Star Sword Festival, and he would lose the opportunity to become the Seven Star Sword King. He would not be able to graduate from Pojun Academy and receive an official Magister Knight license.
By that time, Ichikawa's dream of becoming an excellent Magister Knight would also be shattered.
Although it didn't matter even if he missed this year's Seven Star Sword Festival, Ichikawa could continue to challenge next year, but no one knew what would happen next year.
Maybe next year, Shin-Gong Temple Kuino would no longer be there, and the academy would boycott Ichikawa again?
Perhaps the next time, they would no longer choose the representative through the selection battle, but would choose the representative through ability points again?
If that happened, it would be really difficult for Ichikawa to graduate again.
Therefore, this year was a rare opportunity for Ichikawa. Once he missed it, it was likely to become a lifelong regret.
Therefore, Ichikawa would never miss the competition and would definitely come.
However, Ichikawa hadn't arrived yet.
Was it just because he hadn't arrived yet? Or Ichikawa couldn't make it at all?
When they thought of that, how could they not feel nervous?
"Zhuxi." Stacey couldn't help but ask, "Is Ebon really okay?"
"Of course." Zhuxi said without hesitation, "Brother-sama will definitely come in time. Absolutely."
That being said, the tension in the air still did not fade, proving that Zhuxi was actually worried.
Could it be …
"On this last day, Ebon finally couldn't hold on and was killed by Attila. This possibility is not impossible."
Rozen, with a casual attitude, unscrupulously detonated the bomb.
"No way?"
Stacey hesitated as if she was not sure.
"Of course not!"
Zhu Xi glared at Rozen and said this resolutely, but it was impossible to tell whether she was really confident or just trying to comfort herself and deceive herself.
At that moment, Rozen shrugged and no longer said anything.
Stacey and Zhu Xun also fell silent.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
"Everyone, sorry for the long wait! The most anticipated match of the day was about to begin! The duel between the first year Ebon Kazuko and the second year Kirihara Shizuya! There were still ten minutes before the start of the match! A large number of spectators had already flooded into the venue! This match was indeed quite eye-catching! Let's wait and see what happens next! "
In the fourth training ground, the announcer's voice finally came out, telling Rozen and the others how much time was left before the start of the match.
"Only ten minutes left …!?"
Stacey couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Elder Brother …"
Zhu Xun finally couldn't hide her worry.
During the selection battle, the contestants who were scheduled to participate in the competition were obliged to arrive five minutes before the start of the competition. If they did not arrive five minutes before the start of the competition, the selection battle committee would hold a discussion and, according to the actual situation, decide whether the contestant who arrived late would be disqualified, or should it be postponed and continued at another time.
And it didn't take a genius to figure out that the selection committee was bribed by House Iroha. If Ichihui was late, he would definitely be disqualified, and he would miss this year's Seven Star Sword Martial Festival.
In light of this, Kazuko couldn't be late.
Five minutes left.
Five minutes left.
As long as Kazuko didn't arrive in five minutes, it would be over.
"Is he really …"
"Elder Brother …"
Stacey and Zhu Xun became more and more anxious.
Until …
"Huh?"
Rozen suddenly raised his head as if he sensed something, his eyes flashed slightly, and the corner of his mouth curved.
Because Rozen already felt it.
He felt that Attila suddenly returned to his side in spirit form.
Then …
"So you're here?"
With such a sentence, Stacey and Zhu Xun's body trembled slightly, and they turned their heads and looked at the source of the voice.
In the next moment, everyone saw a figure suddenly appear in front of them.
Wearing a tattered student uniform.
His skin was covered with dust and mud.
There was a faint scar on his face.
His eyes shone with a sharp light.
The person who came …
"Elder Brother!"
Zhu Xun cried out with joy.
It was Kazuko.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Kazuko, who looked a little embarrassed and dirty, showed his usual gentle smile to everyone.
But …
"You …"
Stacey held her breath.
"Huh?"
Rozen also raised his eyebrows.
Because, both of them could sense, from Yi Hui's body, a completely different atmosphere from before pervaded the air.
That atmosphere was different from Kazuko's usual sense of gentleness, hard work, and courage to challenge. Instead, it was more like a warrior who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and often broke through the enemy lines. Although it was not strong, it gave people a faint sense of oppression.
At the same time, Kazuko's body also faintly emitted a sword aura that made people's skin hurt.
That sword aura was both sharp and dangerous, and it gave Rozen the feeling of seeing Aldwyth.
Only Zhu Xun, as if she was used to this change in Kazuko, rushed to Kazuko.
"Elder Brother! You're finally back …! "
Zhu Xun cried tears of joy.
Only in front of Kazuko, Zhu Xun's emotions would be so rich.
On the other hand, Kazuko was not anxious at all, and even touched Zhu Xun's head with ease.
"Sorry to make you worry."
Although the feeling he gave people had changed, Kazuko's personality seemed to be so gentle and kind.
There was only one difference.
That was, in Kazuko's eyes, there was confidence and sharpness that had never been there before.
"It's not too late, I'll go in first. Let's talk after the game."
Kazuko said.
"You … Are you confident?"
Stacey suddenly asked that question.
For that …
"Don't worry."
Kazuko suddenly smiled.
"It's for today, I have been holding on until now, and I got it."
With that said, in Kazuko's hand, the light of magic cast steel, and a dark Nihonto appeared in Kazuko's hand.
At this moment, Kazuko summoned his inherent spiritual equipment, Yin Iron.
But …
"This is …!?"
Stacey took a breath.
Even Rozen was stunned.
The reason was simple.
Looking closely, although Yin Iron in Kazuko's hand was the same as before, it was as black as a crow, but the blade was thinner, longer, and more gorgeous.
What did that mean?
"The form of inherent spiritual equipment … changed …?"
Yes.
The form of Kazuko's inherent spiritual equipment changed.
This surprised Rozen, and Stacey was even more stunned.
Only Zhu Xun smiled as if she had seen this scene before.
Apparently, this was the great change brought about by the One Radiance that Pearl had mentioned.
"Then, I'll be right back."
Yi Hui was not nervous, nor was he as depressed as before. Instead, it was as if he was going to complete something that he had to do. With firm steps, he walked towards the direction of the training ground.
Stacey and Zhu Xun looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Rozen also followed, but his mind kept remembering the shape of Kazuko's new inherent spiritual equipment.
"Things are getting interesting."
Rozen smiled with interest and followed the crowd into the training ground.
