Unfortunately, the actual facts developed differently from Niya's guess.

Loran Hill did not join the competition team in the Walled City Academy. Instead, she appeared in the Temple Academy with another identity.

In the side room of the Black Moon Hall in the Temple Academy, two women sat facing each other.

"Hey, is the bridge pier also defeated?" Cecilia was lying on the sofa eating grapes, with a little laziness and surprise in her tone.

"But you don't seem surprised." Ingrid sat opposite, still wearing a full set of knight armor, with a long sword at hand.

"Of course. Don't be fooled by my appearance of doing nothing. I am still well-informed. Ghosts always know the secrets of many corners."

"Yes, yes, is this the reason why you stay up late every day? It doesn't give people a good impression to always feel sleepy during the day." Ingrid said persuadingly.

"Life at night is always so wonderful. Going to bed too early will make you feel like you are wasting your life." Cecilia offered another opinion.

...

After the two discussed their different opinions, the topic slowly returned to the right track.

"Are you confident that you can win this competition?" Ingrid picked up a fresh fruit.

"Yes, after all, we are the champions of the previous session. We can't lose the glory left by our predecessors." Cecilia sat up slightly.

"Senior Elon Trey, is that you? Unfortunately, I have only heard of his name but have never actually met him." Ingrid seemed to remember something and spoke slowly.

"Well, this senior is the pride of the academy. Not only did he lead the Temple Academy to break the curse of nearly twenty years and win the Broken Army Championship again, he also dominated the individual competition and won the only championship, a rare double champion in the academy's history. Back then, I was also his fan girl, following him every day."

Ingrid shook her head and said, "I can't imagine it. Aren't you always so lazy?"

"Don't say that. I'm also young, beautiful and energetic at my age." Cecilia peeled a grape and put it in her mouth, saying so.

---------------

Three days later.

After the shocking start, everyone thought that this college competition would be extremely intense, but unexpectedly, all parties calmed down and a rare period of stability lasted for a few days. With only two days left before the competition deadline, some spectators began to feel anxious and talk about it, and various remarks began to circulate on campus.

Until this afternoon, there was another noise in the Tower Academy. Tall war machines began to move, steel roared, colossi stepped, and dragons danced, heading towards the west side of Emenas.

Cecilia sat atop the bell tower of the Starlight Cathedral, gazing at the approaching black specks and dragon shadows in the distance. One hand pressed against the brim of her witch's hat to prevent it from flying away, letting the afternoon breeze ruffle her hair and flutter her dark skirt. Behind her sat another silver-haired girl.

The girl's snow-white legs peeked out from her black gauze skirt, her slender feet swaying gently in the air as she looked down at the streets, palaces, people coming and going, and even the curling smoke from the small town to the west. Of course, because of her sitting position and the angle of view, the passersby below could only see her calves.

"Luo Xier, you can't hide it this time."

"Huh?" The girl raised her head in slight surprise.

"I know that you hardly ever show your true strength in school." Cecilia turned her head and lifted her messy hair and said.

"Although giving people surprises is a good thing, hiding it for too long can affect one's character."

"I don't believe it. Maybe the senior is just being lazy again," the girl blinked. Although she nodded in agreement, she still complained inwardly. After spending these days together, she had gotten to know the senior's temperament. Although she looked mature and a little handsome, the dark circles around her eyes betrayed her, making her words lose their credibility.

"Ahem." Seeing that Luo Xier was not as easy to fool as she was in the first few days, the senior student began to come up with another plan.

"If you win this time, I'll give you the top spot."

"That position is very troublesome." The girl was not tempted at all.

"Let me introduce you to the handsome seniors in Emenas, such as Jelann from Southern Bridge Academy and Edren from Walled City Academy..."

The girl cutely shook her head again, saying she didn't want to at all.

"Not interested in boys? Girls are fine too, for example... for example..." Cecilia was suddenly stuck. She couldn't think of any girl who could be as beautiful as the girl in front of her.

She said with a headache, "Hey, Luo Xier, this is not right. You should listen more to the advice of your seniors in school. After all, these are the lessons we have learned. Think about it, how cool and impressive it would be if you could lead the school to victory."

"Not just you. Years from now, the students here will be able to brag to others about how they fought their way through countless geniuses and won the championship in that competition. It will even leave a mark in the family, which will be a very glorious thing."

Cecilia described beautiful pictures and scenes, and after hearing this, Luo Xier was slightly relieved.

"Well, I will make a move, but I can't guarantee that I can win."

"No problem~" At this moment, Cecilia was like a student who had not done her homework during the summer vacation, and when school started, she borrowed someone else's homework, wrote her own name on it, and handed it in. She felt relieved and happy.

"Luo Xier is the best in the world, the most powerful~" She stretched out her hands to hug the silver-haired girl, but she dodged easily.
