Chapter 103
Luo Mio's eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
Claudia also asked, "So, who is your first opponent...?"
"Ah." Luo Mio opened the Space Window and moved the opponent's information to Claudia's eyes.
"Sequence 21 and Sequence 22 of the Raven Black Academy".
Claudia smiled slightly after seeing the opponent's information.
"It seems like you guys will win your first match easily, Mio."
Luo Mio shrugged.
"Ah, it seems that the match between Amagiri and Yurith is about to begin."
Luo Mio said, looking at the screen.
On the screen, Yanase Miko said.
"Now, let's begin the second round of today's matches! The first group of the first round in Zone C is about to start!"
The next moment, a loud cheer erupted in the arena, and amidst the dazzling lights of the stage, Amagiri Ayato and Yurith walked onto the stage from the entrance.
Luo Mio glanced at their opponents.
"It seems that the fog will end the game soon."
"The first round, first group match of Zone C in the 'Phoenix Star Martial Festival' is now starting!"
The moment the mechanical sound of the school badge announced the start of the competition.
Amagiri Ayato takes the Black Furnace Demon Sword out of its case and activates it.
Upon seeing the Black Furnace Demon Sword, Luo Mio's lips curled into a smile, and she said, "It seems he has a general idea of Black Furnace Demon Sword's thoughts."
Unlike the usual slightly wider blade and hilt, the hilt has been slightly adjusted, and the pure black blade appears more slender.
Then, just as Luo Mio said, after Amagiri Ayato released his sealed power, a large amount of Stellar Power burst out around him.
Then, in an instant, Amagiri Ayato disappeared from his spot, and the moment his figure passed through his opponent, the school badge was split in two!
"The match is over!"
A mechanical voice announced throughout the venue.
——
Looking at the time, Luo Mio stood up and said to Kong, "Kong, it's time for us to go on stage."
Kong nodded, then jogged over to Luo Mio's side and took his hand.
Luo Mio turned to Claudia and said, "Then let's set off, Tia."
Claudia nodded gently and said, "Yes."
Luo Mio turned around and walked out of the room.
"It's time to start the fight back (and slap them in the face)."
Luo Mio's lips curled into a villainous smile.
"The final match of the day at the Sirius Dome is about to begin!"
During the live broadcast, Yanase Miko spoke to the audience.
"I'm sure many viewers are waiting to watch this final match."
Fan Shizhen nodded in agreement.
"Well, after all, the contestants in the last match are the only two students from the St. Freya Academy, Asterisk's seventh academy, and their opponents are contestants from the Raven Black Academy."
"Yes, yes, yes. Actually, Miss Fan Shizhen, do you know?"
"What?"
"That video that's been circulating in urban legends."
"Oh?"
"It is said to be a battle between Luo Mio, the Student Council President of the St. Freya Academy, and the Twin Serpents, who were ranked seventh in the previous Jie Long Seventh Academy."
"Oh, is that so? It seems we should look forward to seeing how strong Luo Mio is in the game."
However, this was limited to the interaction between the two people in the live broadcast booth.
Meanwhile, hushed, sarcastic voices could be heard from the audience seats.
Even viewers watching the broadcast elsewhere expressed disdain and mockery.
"Now, the last match of the day is about to begin!"
After speaking, they went to the entrance of the stage.
Luo Mio held Kong's small hand and slowly walked out.
Countless lights shone on the two of them, as if Luo Mio and Kong were the main characters on the field today.
The appearance of Luo Mio and Kong did not elicit the same enthusiastic cheers and applause as when Amagiri Ayato and Yurith appeared.
Only countless sarcastic remarks, disdain, and spectators... an unbearable sight.
At this moment, in the audience.
"Ordinary people shouldn't embarrass themselves at the Star Martial Festival!"
A voice, as if amplified, resounded throughout the entire venue.
As soon as these words were spoken, countless ear-piercing laughs erupted throughout the arena.
"Exactly! This is the stage for the 'Star Vein Generation,' you guys should just go home and get some milk from your mothers."
"Anyone who isn't part of the 'Star Vein Generation' @!#, get out of Asterisk!"
Harsh and sarcastic remarks came from the audience.
Luo Mio smiled at her while holding Kong's small hand, then ignored the laughter and walked onto the stage.
Inside the contestants' rooms.
Amagiri Ayato and Yurith also glared angrily at the audience seats.
"I never expected that these people would even insult a child."
There were two other people standing next to the two of them.
They are from the same school. Amagiri Ayato's childhood friend is Sasamiya Saya, and Kato Kirin in the Star Academy.
On the other side, Sylvia's beautiful face also showed an ugly expression as she witnessed this scene.
——
After stepping onto the stage.
Luo Mio also held Kong's hand and stood opposite her opponent.
"Haha, I didn't expect the Phoenix Star Martial Festival committee to treat me so well this time."
Across from Luo Mio, a man wearing a black school uniform from Rewolf said with a disdainful and amused expression.
Beside him, another man spoke up, saying crudely, "Looks like I can finish the match sooner and go pick up some girls to take care of things."
The man who spoke first suddenly brightened up and said, "Oh my, I didn't realize that you, little sister, are so beautiful despite being an ordinary person."
The man's partner licked his lips and teased, "Little sister, how about we go play something fun later?"
Luo Mio raised an eyebrow, and upon hearing her opponent's crude and teasing tone, shook her head and said.
"Looks like we don't need to give that Diluk guy any face anymore."
"Huh?" The other person asked in confusion.
The man laughed loudly, amused, "Hey, everyone, did you hear that?"
"He said, there's no need to give our president any face."
The man's loud, playful words drew laughter from the entire room.
Faced with this awkward situation, Yanase Miko and Fan Shizhen, who were in the live broadcast booth, were also at a loss for words.
At that moment, a mechanical voice announced.
"The match begins!"
As the match began, the two from the Raven Black Academy casually activated their Kou-type Weapon and slowly walked towards Luo Mio and Kong.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, brother will be very gentle."
"Alright, alright, you've scared the little girl."
The two seemed to have no regard for Luo Mio and Kong, and discussed as they walked.
Luo Mio looked at the two of them and sighed.
"I was really looking forward to finishing the match quickly so I could go shopping with Tia and Sora."
The man taunted, "Hurry up and end the match. Do you want to come here to die, or surrender?"
Luo Mio shook her head and did not explain to him.
Instead, he turned to look at Kong, who had been expressionless since entering, and said...
"So..."
"I'm leaving the air to you. Don't use too much force, and don't end the battle too quickly."
Luo Mio's voice, amplified through the stage's loudspeakers, resounded throughout the entire venue.
"Hahaha, you actually let your little sister..."
Just as the man was about to make a sarcastic remark, he was halfway through his speech when...
Kong, who had been silent all along, raised his hand.
"... Sis... hiccup!!!"
The man looked up, his previously confident expression gradually turning blank, distorted, and filled with terror as he stared at his head.
The entire venue fell silent instantly. Yanase Miko and Fan Shizhen in the live broadcast booth were also speechless with shock after witnessing this scene.
In the Student Council President's office in each university campus...
In all the Asterisk broadcasts...
Footage broadcast around the world...
Online platforms... mobile phones... computers...
Everyone watching the Phoenix Star Martial Festival stared in astonishment at this scene.
The sky above the entire Sirius Dome stage was a sinister purple, like a dark, abyssal Spatial Rifts, with one after another tearing through space appearing...
One... ten... fifty... one hundred...
Countless Spatial Rifts gradually enveloped the sky above the stage.
People stared in horror at the Spatial Rifts, its interior a dark and abyss-like expanse...
A golden light shone...
A golden light shone from among the Spatial Rifts.
People stared in disbelief at this scene, as if they were seeing dazzling starlight in the dark night sky.
Luo Mio's opponents, two students from the Raven Black Academy, also stared blankly upwards.
The next moment...
Golden light descended!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—!"
The golden light, like a falling meteor, slammed into the two of them.
At this moment, there was no sound at all inside the Sirius Dome.
Only the deafening roars crashing down from the stage and the fleeting golden light, like shooting stars, echoed and appeared inside the Sirius Dome.
Kong Liuli's golden eyes were expressionless as she looked at the two of them as if they were ants.
