Chapter 259: Instant Slash in the Dark Night
In just a few minutes, the atmosphere at the scene was ignited by Purinkoko's impromptu song, spreading like wildfire. Not only the audience, but also Avni and others standing on the top of the bridge were also impacted by this momentum and sound waves, and the courage and confidence they had accumulated were gone.
Taking a deep breath, Avni wanted to get rid of the emotions in her heart and restore her previous calmness and rationality, but the shouting sounds from both sides of the bridge kept pouring into her ears, making it difficult for her to get into the state.
A hand gently pressed on her shoulder, and then gently stroked her flowing golden hair. Although she didn't speak, Avni's mood slowly calmed down.
"Thank you Tilan." She bowed her head and whispered, then raised her head, opened her eyes, stepped forward, and held the microphone.
The performance of Edes Academy began.
The strings were gently plucked, and then the clear and gentle voice gradually sounded. Facing Purinkoko's opening that exploded like a flame, Edes Academy did not forcefully resist, but chose a longer and more affectionate ballad.
The way
I feel alone even in the crowd
Every face, every pair of tired eyes
is not for me
I wonder how my life will continue?
Many opportunities I have encountered
but will never come again
...
How eager I am to wait for this moment
There is no room for hope
and it is different now
Some times are hard for me
But everyone still follows
what they want Don't you know?
All the good days have left me
There is no storm that will not stop
...
I will always stay with you
Compared with Pulin Koko's performance like a battlefield of flames, this song is like a boat quietly crossing the water at night, the water reflects the bright moon in the sky, and people see the past scenes in the water light, those unforgettable memories, those nostalgic emotions, those faces that want to be remembered forever.
Although the lyrics were not passionate, nor did the rhythm keep rising, the river flowing quietly also showed a free and determined will, calming the heat and noise brought by the previous performance of Pulin Koko, allowing the audience to slowly walk out of the previous influence and return to the ordinary and simple reality.
"Although I didn't feel any shock or amazement, this peaceful and simple feeling seems to be good?" After listening to the ballad, someone at the scene commented.
"The beauty of ordinary and peaceful."
"Avni is a very gentle person."
The performance gradually came to an end, and there were bursts of applause at the end. Although many people felt that it was not as good as the previous Pulin Koko, in terms of songs and performances, Avni's performance was not bad. It can only be said that she was not so lucky and met a rare opponent with singing talent.
"Performance 9 points, appeal 8 points, innovation 9 points, a total of 26 points."
The judges gave their scores soon after, and the first stage ended.
After the first stage of comparison, the Swarm Leader scored 30 points, which is 30/3=10, and can have 10 additional combat members, plus 2 guaranteed members, which means 12 combat members.
The girls in white and brown dresses boarded the side of the bridge. Some of them held white fang electromagnetic guns, some held heavy hammers, and some held heavy shields to protect the band members.
On the Edes Academy side, because they scored 26 points, which is 26/3≈9, they can have 9 additional combat members, plus 2 guaranteed members, which means 11 combat members.
Although there is a slight disadvantage, it is not obvious. This is also due to the fact that the full score of the scoring mechanism is only 30 points. If there is no upper limit, the judges will probably give Pulin Koko 36 points.
On the other side, members of the Edes Academy in black and blue uniforms also boarded the side of the bridge. The two members looked at each other across the broken bridge and the night wind.
"Now! The second stage of the competition begins. Please invite the captains of both teams to draw lots!"
After that, two circling discs fell from the sky. They entangled and rotated with each other, and various patterns flashed on the discs. They first swooped over the river, causing waves of water, and then rose again and came to the captains of both sides.
Countless words and pictures flashed on the rotating discs, and a projected button also appeared in front of the two people.
"Now, please press the button five times to select the theme!" The host's enthusiastic voice brought up the expectations of the audience.
"What theme will it be?"
"I'm suddenly looking forward to it."
Avni and Pulin walked forward under the gaze of their teammates, pressed the flashing button, and the pointer stopped again and again, and then the disc spit out flashing fragments again and again.
"Fairy" × "Paradise
" "Sweetness"
× "War" "Shine" × "Move Forward
" "Darkness" × "Hill"
"Sacred" × "Dance"
The fragments selected by the two sides and the fragments selected by the other side are spliced together to form a complete theme. This is the theme of the songs that the two sides need to sing in the next five duels.
The duel mode is 1 to 1, but the band members can bless their own members with various states or gains through playing. The winning party will obtain a resonance amplification crystal, which can be used in the third stage to increase the effect of their own performance.
Such a duel is very random and also tests the accumulation of the two bands. If you encounter an unfamiliar theme and can't find a suitable song for a while, you will waste the opportunity to bless your teammates and be at a great disadvantage in the battle.
"Now, let me watch the first match begin!"
When the host shouted, the two rotating colored discs flew up again, joined each other in the air, and then fell into the water. Soon after, a magnificent icicle slowly rose from the water, breaking through the mighty river water, slowly reaching the same height as the bridge surface, standing in the empty space in the broken bridge.
Looking at the stage that had been built in front of them, one member from each side walked out, then jumped off the bridge and jumped onto the stage that was emitting cold smoke and chill.
"Edes Academy, Bennett, Blade Sequence 5: Swift Walker."
"Swarm of Bees Academy, Danko, Dragon Sequence 5: Red Claw Dragon Princess."
Wearing a combat uniform that was mainly black and supplemented by dark blue, Bennett looked at the red-haired girl across from him, holding the scabbard tightly with one hand, and then slowly pulled out the narrow and slightly curved blade. The back of the blade was made of black matte material, and the blade had a glowing green light, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. If you keep zooming in on the light flowing on it, you can see the fiber-like branding patterns, just like the most delicate circuit.
Quick battle, Bennett, who knew that his side was weak, could not wait for the blessing of his own band members, nor did he give the other side time to gain benefits. He rushed out almost the moment he stepped onto the stage.
The faint blade light slashed, and the surging magic power was compressed into an almost invisible thin line under full operation, and arrived in an instant, like a fluttering butterfly, extremely fragile, but so dangerous and deadly.
