Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 532: Past Rivals and Friends

In the battle training ground, Shui Yanqing and Orlais were fighting each other. The fluorescent white and aqua blue lightsabers were particularly shining, constantly intersecting in the field, leaving afterimages on the retinas.

After another collision, the two of them had a brief stalemate. Fierce sparks burst out from the intersection of the lightsabers, and bits of ice fell to the ground. Then Ores spread out the lightsaber and quickly leaped back. She let go of the hilt with her right hand and opened it in the air. Waves of ice gathered to form sharp ice knives.

But this is not the end. As Orlais continued to perform, marks like multiple overlapping triangles flashed in her eyes, and these ice blades were also covered with a layer of special branding patterns.

Sharp, Ice, Magic Breaker
After the triple effect was added, these ice knives shot out rapidly, and in just one encounter, they cut several cuts on Shui Yanqing's body, and several traces of blood flew out. Then she continued to control the ice knives to rotate and attack from behind. At this time, Shui Yanqing also reacted, and while turning and dodging, the azure water rings rotated rapidly around her body, cutting and shattering the ice knives close to her.

After taking a short breath, Shui Yanqing held the sword in one hand and stroked the sword with the other hand. A tiny stream of water surrounded the sword, forming a spiral shape. Then she held the sword in both hands and rushed towards Orlais with all her strength.

Facing Shui Yanqing's all-out attack, Orlais raised her hand again, and a series of thin-film ice shields formed in front of her. Silver lines flashed on the surface of these ice shields, blocking Shui Yanqing.

Hard Ice
Shui Yanqing held the sword and pierced and crushed the shields one by one during the charge, but her speed was inevitably reduced, which also bought time for Ores. When the last shield shattered, Shui Yanqing saw Ores holding an icy greatsword.

The upright sword was broad and long, slashing down diagonally. Its wide sweeping range left Shui Yanqing with almost no room to dodge. Shui Yanqing had no choice but to block and protect herself first. Water flowed around the raised lightsaber, constantly crushing the colliding swords.

After the strike, only half of the icy sword in Orlais's hand remained, and Shui Yanqing was also panting due to the intense physical exhaustion. Although the two looked similar in age, Orlais had actually practiced the Transcendental Sequence for several years longer than Shui Yanqing. Whether in terms of magic power accumulation or the number of various secret techniques mastered, she was far superior to Shui Yanqing.

However, Shui Yanqing would not give in so easily. She dissipated the lightsaber in her hand to save magic power, and retreated rapidly. Just when Ores was surprised that she did not continue to attack, Shui Yanqing put her hands together, and a ball of transparent liquid formed in her hands, which then continued to expand, protecting it inside.

In response, Orles raised her hand, and several ice knives appeared at her side and shot out quickly. However, this time, when they touched the ball formed by the water flow, they were deflected and flew out like a gyroscope.

After that, Orlais tried other long-range attack methods, such as freezing rays, broken blade strangulation, etc., but the effects were not good. Shui Yanqing, who was surrounded by water, could always easily resist these attacks with minimal loss. In the water ball, the small wounds on Shui Yanqing's body gradually healed, and her magic power slowly recovered.

After recovering, Shui Yanqing raised her arm, and the water flow beside her turned into a spiral and wrapped around it, then suddenly rushed towards Ores.

The thick water flowed in the air, twisted together, and turned into a dragon shape, smashing the layers of shields in one fell swoop. It was about to knock Orles away and swallow her in the air. Orles, who was submerged by the water, could not breathe, nor could she use force. Even various means of manipulating magic spells were blocked by the water. Finally, she had to surrender under the danger of suffocation.

"Snapped--"

The water flow carried Ores down with her whole body soaked. After she got out of it, her face turned pale and she kept coughing and spitting water while holding her chest. It took her a while to recover.

"Shui Yanqing wins." Arnansha, who was watching the match not far away, announced the result coldly, then waved her hand and asked the medical staff to come forward and help Ores to go for examination and recuperation.

Although the battle was fierce, in Arnansha's eyes, it was just like children fighting and pulling each other's hair, and there was really nothing to watch.

The strength of Ores and Shui Yanqing is probably above average among Sequence 5 transcendents. The two do not have much experience in combat, and it can be seen from the monotony and unfamiliarity of their tactical choices that although they have learned a lot, they have not been able to integrate it well.

If they were trained and able to integrate various secret techniques and abilities, it would not be difficult for them to reach a higher level than their peers. However, considering their identities, such strength is not enough.

Those who can stay beside the singer as a bodyguard are at least elite fighters of Sequence 5. Their strength is often among the best in the same level. Compare them to the geniuses that Tilan saw in the Winter Festival Competition when she was still in high school a few years ago. Although they are also Sequence 5, the combat power they burst out is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

The geniuses who shined in the Winter Festival competition were the most talented ones selected from hundreds of millions of their peers in the entire star field. After various trainings and tests, they became the top figures, which were far beyond the reach of ordinary Sequence 5 transcendents.

It was also because of the comparison with other singers of the same age that Arnansha realized how rare and precious a genius like Heshia was, who could show excellent talent in both singing and fighting.

It was also because of her existence that Pulin Koko, who was not bad to begin with, became a little dim.

Less than a year after entering university, she advanced to Sequence 6 and gathered a large number of Sequence 6 elite students as followers. Pulin's strength is also extremely outstanding among all the singing girls in history.

It's a pity that this black-haired singer has always been low-key and has politely declined all the recruitment and invitations from various giant companies. Over time, people around her have gradually become accustomed to this state, and even because of her personality in life, people have gradually forgotten her past glorious achievements.

Thinking about this in her mind, Arnansa turned her head and looked at the girl who was comforting Ores not far away.

"Tilan."

"What's the matter, senior?" The girl turned her head.

"Leave Orles alone. You have other things to do."

"Yes." After that, Tilan continued to comfort Ores for a few more words, then turned back.

"Prin." Arnansa called out to a singing girl who was watching the fight nearby.

"Senior, I can't beat Tilan, so don't call me." Pulin waved her hand. How could she not guess what Arnansha was thinking?

Hearing this, Arnansha was not angry, because Pulin had a very clear understanding of the gap in strength.

"You were in the same star field before, right?" She asked with a little curiosity.

"Well, yes, we are both from the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. I even met her once before Tilan entered high school." Pulin leaned against the wall, reminiscing about the past.

"Oh, what would that feel like?" Information about the singer's childhood experiences is often banned by the court and is not circulated on the Internet.

"What does it feel like? Let me think about it. It's probably like a rabbit, very weak and sensitive, often hiding in a quiet corner."

"That's quite a big change." Arnansa shook her head slightly.

"What about Tilan? What did you think of Pulin at that time?"

"Senior Pulin at that time was very powerful. He came to me like wildfire and shocked me greatly. It was also from that time that I began to yearn for the life of a singer."

"Haha, you two are really good at praising each other." Arnansa smiled, but she didn't mean to blame them. After all, she was also a singer, and she could feel that what the two said was from the heart. "In that case, I won't ask Tilan to fight, and then let's talk about other things."

"The most important ability of a song girl is not fighting, but her organizational skills and her ability to influence the public. Now that you are in your second year of college, it is time to organize your own team."

"I will let you lead your respective teams to compete in April next year. However, as the core members, you cannot take direct action in the battle. This will test your leadership ability and the Diva's protection ability."

"During this period, I will teach you how to build your own team and various things you need to learn as a leader."

"I graduated from a military school, so my style must be a bit tougher. I hope you can adapt to it." Then the singer with long chestnut-red hair stood up and left the room wearing her white military coat with red edges.

When Arnansa stood up, the red guards who were originally guarding the training ground also left. The whole process was quiet and solemn. Soon Pulin also left the room.

After they walked away, Shui Yanqing leaned back in a chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This senior has always put a lot of pressure on people. I originally thought that Senior Idlia was more serious, but getting along with Senior Arnansa is like being pressed down by a mountain."

"Although she doesn't talk much, her mood and aura as a singer are always there, like a solid war fortress full of sharp knives and armor. Even a mere frown can make people feel frightened." Blanche thought for a moment and made this comment.

"Come to think of it, we have also met three senior singers, and their auras are very different."

"Three?" Shui Yanqing was a little surprised.

Blanche nodded, "Yes, the three of you, but Senior Ewen Qilin only taught me and Tilan for a short two months, and then she was transferred away because of something else."

"Among the three, Senior Ewen Qilin's aura is undoubtedly the most gentle and delicate. It's as if she is surrounded by warm light and in a dreamlike beauty."

"Senior Idlia is full of wisdom and mystery. Her aura is like a fog, making it hard to see clearly. But sometimes she reveals extremely ancient wisdom and experience to help you solve problems."

"Senior Arnansa is different. She stands in front of you like a mountain, blocking the sun and the sky. Only when you obey her can you get some respite and relaxation. Disobeying her is impossible."

Several people talked about their views on the three seniors. About ten minutes later, Orlais, who had changed into clean clothes, came back here.

"Has Senior Arnansha left?" She looked at the empty combat training ground and the surroundings.

"Let's go. Is Orlais feeling better now?" Tilan was wearing a white dress with light blue grass leaf trim today.

"Better." As she said that, she glanced at Shui Yanqing not far away, then sat down next to Tilan.

"Did she assign any homework or tasks?" Ores was really a little afraid of Arnansa, especially when Arnansa occasionally looked at her, that kind of contemptuous and indifferent expression, which made Ores, who was surrounded by people, unbearable.

"Yes, they said that we should each form a team and compete against each other next year."

"I've been prepared for this kind of thing." Soon after Orlais was diagnosed with the talent of a singing girl, many elven families expressed their support and sent geniuses of her age to serve as Orlais's followers and attendants.

"I'm about the same. After entering the Central Academy, some students sponsored by giant companies gradually gathered around me." Shui Yanqing stretched.

"Everyone in the Hemu Star Region and the star regions near my hometown have been asking me when we will build the star cluster. It shouldn't be difficult this time," Blanche replied.

After listening to everyone's explanation, Tilan blinked and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to complain.

"So, I'm the only one who hasn't recruited anyone yet, right?"

"Oh, aren't those the maids in Tilan's mansion?" Shui Yanqing was surprised.

"Yes, I see that those maids are very powerful, not inferior to the elf maids in my family. I thought Tilan was already prepared." Ores thought the same.

"They..." Tilan thought for a moment.

"They are indeed very loyal, but their identities are still somewhat special." After all, they are all vampires, and if the team wants to expand its personnel in the future, it will be difficult to integrate these maids.

"If it's about recruiting students from the Four-Leaf Crystal, Pulin has done it before. Most of those senior elites were recruited by her." The girl thought for a moment.

"Hehehe, it's rare to see Tilan suffer a loss. After all, she is one year younger and Pulin has taken the lead." Shui Yanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

"How about holding a concert or releasing a new album to advertise? Our lovely 'Black Angel' Miss Heshia is short of followers and thugs recently. If you say this, there will definitely be excited people who will come to sign up."

"The composition of the people coming like that is too mixed." The girl couldn't help but shook her head after hearing this.

"Speaking of acquaintances, I can remember some." She recalled the geniuses she had met in high school. Although not every one of them came to the Central Star Region, they all knew each other well and it didn't take much effort for them to establish a common understanding.

It's time to check on these old friends. I wonder how they are doing after entering university. After all, many of them are one or two years older than me. Now in Academy City, they are gradually entering Sequence 6.

Elena, Wei Ke, and Alice from Tri-phase Moon Academy, Bennett, Stacia, and Ximu from Edes Academy, Sweetway and Levito from Thunderbolt Academy, Maddie from Saint Ingo Academy, and Okas from Iridium Academy...

Many of them used to be rivals, but after entering university, they put aside the past and became fellow countrymen and friends closer than ordinary people.

However, Sevilla would not get close to her. She understood the pride and stubbornness in her heart and knew she would never bow down to her. If she ever fell and regressed, she would probably suddenly come and teach her a lesson. Although the two of them hardly said anything, the life-and-death confrontation in the battle was more sincere and pure than any emotional exchange.
