Emenas, Central School Building.
"Finally, it's the most exciting moment of the finals."
The host's passionate voice echoed through the speakers scattered throughout the venue. As he finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience. This year's competition was still exciting. Darcy's victory over Hongfan, in particular, was a classic. Taking advantage of a brief moment of weakness, Darcy, despite his declining physical condition, still defeated the Walled City Academy prodigy and advanced to the finals.
"Well then, please welcome our final two contestants, Darcy and Bumantha!"
The lights in the middle of the venue, which was watched by thousands of people, converged into two dazzling spots, and a man and a woman standing on both sides stepped into the arena.
Before this competition, Bumansha was relatively unknown, little known. But no one could have imagined that this second-year girl possessed such rare talent. Before her swordsmanship had even wowed the world, she had already reached a state of pure simplicity, a return to the essence of nature. In combat, she could often defeat a fight in less than three moves.
Will she use her fourth move against Darcy this time? Everyone is looking forward to it.
“The game begins!”
As soon as the words fell, a circle of golden fireworks rose around the arena and the battle began immediately.
Looking at the girl standing quietly before him, Darcy charged at full speed from the start. His current condition wasn't great, and a prolonged battle wouldn't be advantageous. Furthermore, after watching several previous matches, he felt that even he wouldn't be able to withstand the elusive, piercing sword light. It would be better to attack with all his might, or face death if he failed.
His will and mind were firmly fixed on the girl in front of him. Darcy sprinted forward quickly. Suddenly, a sonic boom sounded, and his body left a long arc in the eyes of everyone. The snow-steel cold spear in his hand was also slightly bent by the swing.
He did not walk in a straight line, but chose an arc that tightly circled the opponent, so that he could better deal with the opponent's dodge and moves.
But the girl in her consciousness did not dodge like she did in the previous game. Instead, she picked up the sword in her hand, drew a perfect circle in the air, and slashed at the tip of Darcy's gun without any error.
Like a needle against a thorn, he split the spear directly, while the fragile wooden sword in his hand remained intact.
Darcy, whose spear was broken in his hand, stretched out his fist again and hit the opponent, but the wooden sword turned as lightly as a swallow, directly inserted into the gap between his fist and fingers, and pierced into his wrist.
At this point, she let go of the wooden sword and let the other party pass by her with the wooden sword.
......
"I give up."
Unlike before, Darcy stopped at the venue, pulled out the wooden sword that was stuck in his wrist bones, walked off the stage with a thick streak of blood.
The competition for the new crown came to an end amid the amazement of countless people. The ordinary-looking girl next door, Bumansha, became the strongest of the new class of Emenas, causing a sensation both inside and outside the campus.
Nearly half a year after this incident, the gardener father, who lived in a small town on the east side of the Green Empire, learned that his daughter had achieved such remarkable results.
The fireworks went off, and after watching the unsatisfying competition, the college welcomed the highlight of the Winter Festival Gala the next day, which was the various performances organized by this year's "Crown of Melody" Jian Di.
....
"At the end of the evening, there will be the long-awaited grand performance, the opera 'The Birth of the Perfect Doll'."
As the host left, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed and a distant narration sounded in the venue.
"In the ancient legend of the Grey Veil Kingdom, the world was dead silent."
"Broken bones, songs of longing."
"People live in an endless gray."
"A broken flag, wheels crushing stones, moving forward in an unknown direction."
"On the bumpy carriage, a white-haired old man held a book, stroking the words of the past."
"Golden fruits, green gardens."
"In the legends of the past, there was a beautiful world, a world we longed for, a world we could never reach."
The narrator's voice is like notes on a piano, telling the origin of the story. A standing carriage drawing slowly moves forward on the stage with the people behind it. In the middle of the drawing, you can see an old man through the window.
When his life was about to end, the old man decided to create a beautiful doll to inherit his wish and go to that beautiful world in his place.
At this moment, the curtain on the stage opened and a young girl walked out. The light shone on her back, making her outline shrouded in shadow under the light, and her face could not be seen clearly.
The girl has a gentle voice and she sings a song that sounds like a vow.
"Everything I Dream About"
"I can achieve it all"
"Everything you wish for"
"I got it all for you"
.....
According to an ancient legend, a young girl appeared before an old man and said she could fulfill his wish and help him create a perfect doll. However, the girl's power was limited and she could only create the doll's body, so they set out on a journey.
Even if the stars fall
The World is Dark and Dark
"The bright moon will also break"
"You will be safe and sound"
....
Another girl walked out from behind the slowly opened curtain, singing a strong song and joining the journey. Her figure had her back to the light and long hair hanging down on both sides of her body.
During their journey, the two met another girl who agreed to their proposal and gave the doll a blessing of protection, wishing her to have a strong shell that could withstand any harm.
