Chapter 75: Dominating The Arena!
Rumble! Rumble!
A girl from Block A, her robes singed from a fire weave that had detonated too close to her position, found herself backed against three opponents wielding coordinated staff techniques.
Her own weapon—an elegantly curved sword that gleamed with enchanted steel—moved in desperate arcs as she fought to maintain her footing near the platform’s edge.
"Frost Barrier!" she cried, her mind manipulating numerous threads that materialized into a wall of crystalline ice.
The makeshift defense bought her precious seconds, but her opponents were already moving to flank the obstacle.
Nearby, two girls from Block C had formed a back-to-back defensive position, their weapons weaving protective patterns as they fought against a slowly tightening circle of female attackers.
One wielded a war hammer that left small craters in the stone platform with each missed strike, while her partner’s twin swords created a web of steel that deflected incoming attacks with surgical precision.
"We can’t keep this up much longer," gasped the swordswoman, her breathing already labored from the sustained combat. "There are too many of them."
Their defensive circle was indeed shrinking with each passing moment, as more girls joined the assault.
Their coordinated elimination of prospectives had become a priority that transcended individual rivalries, creating temporary alliances that would have been unthinkable under normal circumstances.
Throughout the arena, the distinctive crackle and hiss of magical combat added another layer of complexity to the physical violence.
Prospectives who had focused their training on weaving techniques found themselves at both an advantage and a disadvantage in the chaotic environment.
