Chapter 12 – Netherworld Snow Spirit (II)
—————————————————
Both parties were already present and opposite of each other in the center of the field. Ye Yin Zhu was somewhat amazed as the Dark Magic division members completely mismatched the gender ratio of the Divine Music division. While the Divine Music division had one male and four females, the Dark Magic division had four males and one female, and what was even more amazing was that the female student was their general. From the symbol on her school uniform, she was also a first-year new student.
“Dark Magic division first-year student, general, Yue Ming. Please select the compet.i.tion style.” The Dark Magic division’s female general spoke very concisely. Her dark blue hair draped over her shoulders and flowed down her back. Wearing a black magic robe, her two big eyes should appear very touching but instead released a deadly sort of dark light. Her ice-cold body apparently didn’t have a single trace of liveliness.
“Divine Music division first-year student, general, Ye Yin Zhu. Team Battle,” Ye Yin Zhu replied with equal conciseness. He was already strongly vigilant in front of this girl named Yue Ming. He thought to himself, ‘Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts really deserves being called the mainland’s best college. She’s just a first-year student and is unexpectedly such a remarkable student.’ The current Dark Magic division clearly couldn’t be compared with this morning’s Water division.
One of the Dark Magic division’s students disdainfully sneered, “The Divine Music division brought tables onto the battlefield?”
Behind Ye Yin Zhu’s back, Xue Ling sarcastically bantered, “Have you come across a Divine Music mage on the battlefield before? Win before you get so full of yourself.”
Ye Yin Zhu and Yue Ming bowed their heads to each other before both divisions’ students fell back simultaneously. The defensive s.h.i.+eld activated on training field four. The referee then gave the order, and the match began.
In the spectator’s grandstand were Nina and the Dark Magic division Dean. Different from Wa Ge Lei, the Dark Magic division Dean, despite being male, was awfully ice-cold and didn’t say a word since he appeared at the start of the match. Perhaps because the Divine Music division’s victory had evoked his interest. President Ferguson appeared once more in the spectator’s grandstand.
“This child Yue Ming is more and more outstanding. I don’t know how long the Divine Music division can persevere in today’s battle.” Even he was in no way optimistic about the Divine Music division. Yue Ming was his old friend’s granddaughter, and he was very clear about her strength.
When the referee started the match, 10 red-colored spheres of light appeared in midair. They were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with death and shot towards the five members of the Divine Music division. Yellow light flickered as the Dark Magic division’s five students were unexpectedly all Yellow Rank mages. They were led by Yue Ming whose body emitted a yellow elemental radiance that indicated she was an Advanced Level Yellow Rank.
In a flash the sphere darkened, and the students, who surrounded the training field to watch the battle, cried out in alarm.
“I have everything.” Ye Yin Zhu calmly made this clear. The teardrop-shaped gem ring flashed with radiance on his left hand as the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance appeared above the table in front of him. Facing the pressure Yue Ming produced, Ye Yin Zhu’s heart brimmed with an intense urge to fight.
Ye Yin Zhu seemed to become a different person as he sat before his zither. His graceful, steady hands pressed against the strings. At this moment, the synergy of his heart and the Moon and Tide’s Clear Brilliance zither produced a wonderful resonance.
Seeing that the 10 dark spheres had appeared out of thin air, Ye Yin Zhu still hadn’t activated his Divine Celestial Protection. Lightly pressing against the strings with his right hand, downcast and deeply resounding notes hummed out. Across, the five Dark Magic division students bodies shook at the same time; they had just opened their mouths to chant a magic spell and were, to their surprise, forcibly interrupted immediately.
