Chapter 349: Clash Of Captains
Eve carefully stared at Jessica, analyzing the Sword Captain’s stance with a slight frown on her face, while Jessica stared back at her with a completely hollow, profoundly bored expression, as if looking at a training dummy.
Eve respectfully bowed at her, adhering to the etiquette, while Jessica simply drew her dark, ominous sword straight from her sheath, bypassing the formalities entirely.
"You aren’t the one I am planning to fight, just surrender." Jessica said in a flat, cold tone, as a volatile, corrosive red energy instantly surrounded her jagged blade.
’That isn’t a regular sword... It’s god class at most.’ Eve thought, staring nervously at Jessica. As the Captain of the Eagle Academy, she was the ultimate authority; no one was here to interfere, or utilize the new rule to stop the match. She had to give her absolute all to survive this.
"Yeah." Eve softly replied, ignoring the demand to surrender. She raised her elegant hand, and a massive, beautifully crafted Guzheng magically appeared hovering in her hand.
".....?!"
Jessica tilted her head in genuine confusion, her mind failing to register the instrument as a viable weapon, while the whole elite audience were equally dumbfounded by the choice.
"Let me play a tone for you."
Eve smoothly sat down directly on the hard stone ground, carefully placing the heavy, ancient instrument horizontally on her lap. Seeing her deliberate action, Blade immediately turned to their rest of the teammates: "You know what to do."
They nodded with deep urgency, and quickly brought out heavy earphones, securely wearing them to block their auditory canals.
Eve slowly exhaled, centering her energy, and placed her delicate hand firmly on the thickest string, and with a single, aggressive movement, she violently struck the first line.
DING!
