"That's it?"
Cynthia watched the Xuanyuan Academy team's reaction, puzzled.
They were nothing like the opponents she had imagined!
That made sense, though. The Magic City Academy team had trained against hypothetical opponents based on real enemies.
Xuanyuan Academy was only an average academy. Its resources and training facilities could hardly compare with Magic City Academy's.
