Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 538 - 212 Wildfire Frenzy Dance: Efnie (Thanks to the library expert Mengmeng)

"The sixth match, Thunder Edge wins!"

After this match, the atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up. The six major academies then took turns sending out students to the stage to issue challenges, most of which ended in success. After all, in a challenge match format, those who stepped up to the stage surely had strategies and methods already in mind.

Like this, after more than a hundred matches, the vast majority of students could only win the match they challenged for, unable to defend the stage. Accordingly, the scores of the six major academies remained close throughout the early and middle stages of the competition.

However, as the contest moved into its later stages, the situation slowly began to change. At this point, each academy had fewer than ten competitors remaining and could not afford the luxury of choosing matches based on advantageous matchups. The rule was that if no one accepted the challenge, an academy would be designated by sequence to send up a member to compete.

"It's our turn now,"

Following the conclusion of another battle, with a contestant from Swarm's Reign Academy left standing on the stage, Tilan glanced back at her team members, pondering inwardly.

"I'll go," Efnie stepped forward, noticing Tilan's hesitation. She was almost at a Perfect Status in Sequence 4, ranking among the top five second-year students. She could be considered the ace of Edith Academy for tonight's warm-up match.

"It seems we don't have a better choice," Tilan blinked and nodded in approval of Efnie's action.

Immediately, the famous Goldfish Princess unfolded her black cloak, revealing an orange to red gradient dress underneath, and her golden hair also slowly took on a blazing red hue.

As she walked, the ginkgo leaves at her feet ignited, transforming into spinning Flame Vortexes that rose into the air, and then gradually turned into dark red ashes behind her.

"Edith Academy, second year, Efnie."

When she entered the arena, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd. All eyes were fixed on the clear, magnified holographic images in the sky above the treeline. The beautiful Goldfish Princess, with her fiery appearance, received a warm and enthusiastic welcome.

"Wow, we really get to see Efnie take the stage today. I thought she wasn't participating."

"I've seen Efnie perform before. I hope she can win several matches this time too."

"She seems even more beautiful than last year, just like she's shining brightly."

Even though she was still a student, Efnie's fame was similar to that of some stars. She was like a child star who became famous while young and, coupled with the aura of her Talent and the protection of her family background, people had a favorable impression of her, considering her much cleaner and purer than most celebrities in the entertainment industry.

"She's really popular, huh." The girl from Swarm's Reign Academy, facing the cheers for her opponent's arrival, clearly displayed jealousy and reluctance.

However, Efnie didn't pay attention to these sneers and jeers. Perhaps it was her experiences throughout the year that helped her maintain a calm state of mind.

"Let the match begin!"

After the referee's announcement, the opposing girl quickly spun, waving her rapier like a conductor's baton. A swarm of humming bees gleamed as they attacked Efnie from every direction.

Efnie had to dodge sideways as Shankla's slender calf came chopping down. Then, with a flurry of punches and kicks, Efnie couldn't find a good way to counter for a moment—after all, Shankla was protected by the golden spirit mist and wasn't afraid of being burnt by flames.

But that wasn't the most troublesome part. Whenever Efnie was hit by Shankla, the special golden spirit mist would seep inside her, causing the Magic Power in her body to become sluggish and inactivated, severely diminishing her strength.

There was no other choice.

In the midst of exchanging blows, Efnie pulled away and a violent explosion of flames suddenly burst forth, obscuring the view and allowing her to break free.

She then parted her fiery orange skirt and pulled out a specially made pistol from the side of her thigh. Although doing so might seem unladylike and lacking in Elegance, since it was a competition, she didn't care about those niceties.

Aiming at Shankla, who was once again charging towards her, Efnie took aim and fired three shots. The scarlet bullets, enhanced by her Magic Power, hit Shankla, who was up close, in an instant.

Even though the golden spirit mist was extremely resistant to flames, it couldn't withstand physical attacks like bullets. After three shots, Shankla fell to the ground in pain, clutching her leg and raising her hand.

"Ow, I give up."

Just like that, when everyone thought Efnie was going to capsize and lose, an unexpected reversal came, which left many spectators so surprised they almost dropped their jaws.

In the Crystal Lattice Academy's camp, such clapping could be heard. They were, after all, the academy that used guns the most in tonight's showdown.

Though this contest was somewhat surprising, the subsequent ones didn't have many ups and downs.

Efnie defended the arena, defeating eight more opponents before she had to withdraw due to excessive consumption of Magic Power. Thanks to her achievements, Edith Academy now had a lead in the score, far ahead of the other Academies.

"It seems I need to take this a bit more seriously."

In front of Saint Yingo's camp, Suochensi pulled the sword planted in the ground and tossed it to a student behind him.

"This time, it's your turn."

"Yes, Council President Suochensi!"

A somewhat naive-looking but sturdy and tall boy picked up the Longsword, slinging it over his shoulder as he stepped up to the stage.

"Saint Yingo, second year, Yan Hu."

After saying that, he drove the sword into the center of the stage, causing a spreading gust of wind.
