After hearing Hua Silai's words, Magic City University's vice-captain stamped her foot, turned, and left.
"Coach, please let me go!"
Ren Xiaoyi stood up and looked earnestly at the coach.
Magic City University's coach shook their head and patted Ren Xiaoyi's head.

The recoil from Flare Blitz counted as damage too.
