Vol 2 Chapter 12.1 (2/2)
Lan Xi somewhat excitedly nodded and agreed. After she had witnessed Yin Zhu’s zither art, she had already asked him to instruct her. To the side Kong Que was ignored and unhappily said, “Ye Yin Zhu, what is this idea of yours? If everyone plays < a=”” chinese=”” ghost=”” story=””>>, who would defend against the Dark Magic division’s magical attacks?”
“Me.” Ye Yin Zhu’s reply was only one word, but it was spoken with exceptional resolution.”
Kong Que somewhat disdainfully questioned, “You?”
Ye Yin Zhu had the least favorable impression of the conceited Kong Que out of the four female compet.i.tors. He indifferently said, “I can’t tell you what to do? If you think you can resist the opponent’s magical attacks, I as general will allow you to do so.”
“You…” Kong Que was indignant. “Who are you to have the impertinence to talk to me like this. Believe it or not, I…”
“Enough. The match still hasn’t begun, yet you want to fight among ourselves? Kong Que, you need to remember, this is not the Palermo Kingdom. Since I said that Ye Yin Zhu is the general, starting from today, everything concerning the compet.i.tion will follow his plans.” Nina’s serene voice made Kong Que choke back her words.
That afternoon the Divine Music division’s playing field was the Dark Magic division’s training field four. This training field was different from the Water division’s standard. Although the size was more or less the same, the unexpectedly black training field was constructed with all kinds of materials. When they first arrived here, everyone clearly felt that it was somewhat sinister.
Since the creation of Training field four, it rarely bustled with noise and excitement. The number of people coming to watch the Divine Music division and Dark Magic division’s match was greater by two tenths than the number of the people who went to watch the morning Divine Music division and Water division match. Even if the Divine Music division already won one match, up until now, people still didn’t think highly of them. The majority of the students all believed the reason why the Water division lost the match this morning was because the Water division freshman had been too careless, causing their attack speed to be slowed. They were correct to notice that the magic casting rate was slow, but it was not because the Water division was careless. It was instead caused by the musical composition’s influence.
“Yin Zhu, you must put in the extra effort! I bet a gold coin on your Divine Music division,” Sura whispered to Ye Yin Zhu as he prepared to go onto the field.
Ye Yin Zhu wrinkled his brow and said, “My grandfather told me it’s not good to gamble.”
Sura mischievously laughed and said, “It’s a small bet to support you. It doesn’t matter. Okay, you need to enter the field immediately. I’ll cheer you on.”
Unlike the first match, this time the Divine Music division didn’t move one set of table and chair, but rather three sets. Apart from Ye Yin Zhu who carried a table and chair to the training field for himself, the other two sets for Hai Yang and Lan Xi’s use were prematurely placed by the students of the other divisions.
“Divine Music division, let’s go, Divine Music division, win.” Sharp and clear voices shouted and attracted the attention of everyone present to a lovely sight. The Divine Music division’s first-year students, excluding the four competing, had eight other girls. Now dressed in their school uniform at the training field, they cheered on the side Ye Yin Zhu was on. At this moment, the majority of the girls’ gazes fell on Ye Yin Zhu’s body. Although Ye Yin Zhu’s temperament gave people the feeling that he was from a poor background, his appearance was extremely outstanding. If his vocation wasn’t a measly Divine Music mage, the female students would have already started chasing after him. Unfortunately, this world put strength first.
The number of Dark Magic division’s new students were the lowest among the Magic Department’s nine great divisions and not much more than the Spirit division’s branch Divine Music division. Each year they had only 20-30 students. Now that they were gathered together, they appeared incompatible with the other divisions and their students.
Ye Yin Zhu’s table and chair were placed at the very front. Behind him stood Lan Xi and Hai Yang, and standing behind them were Xue Ling and Kong Que in the very back. This was the first time Ye Yin Zhu saw their musical instruments. Xue Ling’s musical instrument was a blue jade xiao while Kong Que’s pipa was a cream-colored pipa which resembled sculpted ivory with its sparkling exterior. The occasionally touched strings released notes full of a metallic tone.
