People can't be generalized. When you first hear this statement, you might laugh it off. But in a world with extraordinary powers, this gap is greatly widened, forming a huge and tangible contrast.
It's undeniable that many of Emenas' new students are children of nobles, with average abilities, relying on connections to obtain letters of recommendation to enter the school. However, they also contribute many resources and connections to the school, paving the way for those truly talented students.
With a student population spanning the entire world, the young generation, with a massive population base, will harvest the most talented individuals and recruit them into Emenas. These students are the true core of Emenas and the backbone of the world's future.
A cute, petite 16-year-old girl, calling herself Eloi, stepped over the gravel and dusty ground in soft black shoes. She walked over to Loran Hill and placed the short-sleeved teenager on the ground. Then, a circle of light appeared and slowly lifted the teenager up. Specialized personnel would then provide treatment.
The long-handled giant hammer, taller than a person, was swung easily by the girl. It turned a few circles, causing a whistling sound in the wind, and then it stood on the ground with a ding, making a small hole.
"The rules of the competition do indeed state that only wooden, unsharpened weapons can be used. I only used a wooden stick. As for the piece above, it's just part of the field. Using the field is within the rules."
Seeing that Loran Hill was more concerned about his weapon, Eloi explained briefly and then said with a smile.
"But it's still going to hurt. Big sis, why don't you admit defeat so Eloi can rest for a round."
Seeing Loran Hill shake his head, she pointed to a raised platform to the side. There were a number of wooden weapons on it, including simple wooden swords and knives, as well as thick-wood axes and hammers, which looked very solid. Freshmen usually used these weapons for low-intensity combat, after all, some of them had never experienced real combat before.
"If the stones in the venue can be used, then the magic power can be used as well, right?"
Loran Hill did not take those wooden weapons. His long black hair slowly fluttered. In the slightly dim basement, his black pupils slowly turned bright red.
In order to facilitate today's battle, she wore a black and red dress that was easy to move in. Her fair skin matched with the pure black cuffs and hem showed a unique charm. Her eyes were like a scarlet moon, shining in the empty and dark underground.
Deep red magic power continued to gather in the air, and an exquisite long sword like blood-red crystal appeared in front of him. White jade-like fingers grasped the hilt of the sword, and then the long sword drew an arc-shaped red mark in the air and was placed at his side.
"Do you need a break, or should we start now?"
Eloi became seriously excited as she watched Loran Hill's extremely extravagant act of condensing magic power into weapons.
"Big sister is very powerful, but Eloi will not admit defeat. Let's start now. I've had a good rest." After saying this, she lifted one leg and waved upwards.
"Well, the game begins." The referee's voice came from the ceiling.
With a push of her back foot, Aloy rushed forward rapidly, brandishing the giant hammer, creating a huge gust of wind pressure, and her entire body was wrapped in layers of faint golden light.
Loran Hill leaped lightly and flew into the air, as if his body was as light as a feather. He turned around as nimbly as a swallow, narrowly avoiding the giant hammer that passed by his side. The blood sword drew three slanted red slashes, hitting Aloy's back and knocking her directly into the rubble.
However, the latter immediately got up, shook off the dust as if nothing had happened, and continued to chase Loran Hill with the giant hammer.
Although Aloy was very powerful, he was not as agile as Loran Hill. After a few rounds, he smashed huge holes in the field and the ground was shaking. He passed by Loran Hill several times, but he still could not catch him.
The black and white figure kept chasing the red shadow, like a powerful giant bear chasing a black and red butterfly, but could never catch it.
"Ugh, big sister is playing dirty! Bullying Eloi."
Seeing that she failed to hit Loran Hill many times, Eloi stomped her feet in anger and looked at Loran Hill standing on the pile of rocks.
"Alright, then I won't hide," Loran Hill said softly. She had been carefully controlling the amount of magic she emitted, fearing she might accidentally slice the girl in half. However, Aloy must have special abilities related to rock. The faint golden glow on her body provided excellent protection. It was with this that she had previously managed to withstand several beams of light and the subsequent explosion, allowing her to easily defeat the short-sleeved boy.
"Great~"
Hearing that Loran Hill agreed, the lovely girl immediately became happy and threw away the huge hammer in her hand.
Just when others thought she was getting carried away, Eloi closed her eyes slightly, and the ground began to roll again like waves, making people unstable and making a loud rumbling sound.
Thousands of stalagmites rose from the ground, just like before, carrying tens of millions of tons of mass and volume, covering the sky like a tide, rushing towards the slender black and red figure.
Loran Hill dodged between the gaps between the stone pillars like a butterfly, and saw that the space around him was getting smaller and smaller.
Snap——
A huge crimson arc of light passed through the entire underground venue, directly cutting through all the stone pillars a hundred meters to the side, and then slowly slid to the ground. Loran Hill stood in the finally empty stone forest, and the blood-red sword in his hand was also shaking and about to break.
Rumble——
Aloy dragged a massive stone axe nearly 30 meters long, slashing it violently across the ground, stirring up layers of gravel and leaving a long gully. The incredibly large stone axe was wielded by a figure as small as an ant, creating a huge air wave in the air. With a terrifying whistling sound, it struck directly at Loran Hill like a tidal wave.
"Magic Spear Kungunir!"
With a clear shout, he held a blood-red spear in his hand. Facing a huge stone axe that was ten times bigger than a human, Loran Hill did not retreat but advanced. The blood-red spear tip flashed with red light and directly hit the blade of the stone axe.
The imagined violent collision sound did not come. The tip of the spear cut into the stone axe. Although it was granite, which was harder than iron, it was cut apart like tofu in front of the blood-red spear tip.
Broken stones kept falling to the ground. The girl with black hair and red eyes rushed back rapidly, dust flew everywhere, and one piece of solid stone after another was separated. The axe blade, axe body, axe handle, until the end, the entire stone axe was completely cut in half. The spreading red light swept across the entire underground battlefield.
Completely unable to stop the dangerous blood-red figure, Aloy could only watch it approach rapidly step by step, like a crimson comet coming towards her. She couldn't help but let go of the stone axe and collapsed to the ground in fear.
At this moment, the cold and sharp tip of the gun just stopped in front of her, only three inches away from her forehead. Although it did not touch her, a shallow wound was still left on her forehead by the extended edge. The bright red blood flowed down the bridge of her nose, across her face, and slowly slid down to her neck.
“Wow wow wow wow wow…”
With her hands on the ground, she looked at the tip of the gun near her forehead, and then looked up at the pair of bright red eyes that were as bright as the sky. Finally, she cried out of fear, and her crying was quite loud.
