The Princess from a Foreign Land (Revision)

The third training ground was the closest one to the main entrance of the academy.

Currently, about a dozen spectators were seated in the auditorium, watching the glowing circle on the field and laughing among themselves.

"He actually challenged an A-Rank Knight to a duel. How can he win? He's just an F-Rank Knight."

"That's right, and he's still a repeater student. He hasn't even participated in actual combat training!"

Sarcastic voices like these could be heard among the audience, shamelessly expressing their sarcastic opinions.

"You said the same thing yesterday."

The girl holding a camera looked at the people behind her with slight disdain.

"Yesterday? What happened?"

"The one yesterday was somewhat capable, but today's is completely different. The girl is a freshman, so who knows, but the guy is famous for being a loser!"

Hoshiharu walked to the training ground and appeared at the bottom of the auditorium. As soon as he entered, he heard these people arguing with each other.

He glanced at a few people and then his eyes were directly drawn to the battle circle.

The 100-meter diameter battle circle once again showcased two fierce Blazers today. Unlike yesterday's confrontation between him and Kurono, this time the fight looked much more beautiful and violent.

Kurono stood by the battle ring as if acting as the referee for this match, her eyes focused on the two people on the field.

Since it was a Device in Illusionary Form, the lives of the two people involved in the battle would not be in danger. What interested her seemed to be the direction of the battle.

Hoshiharu also looked at the two people present.

One of them was his acquaintance, whom he had met over an hour ago. It was Kurogane Ikki, whom he met at the gate. Currently, he was holding a black sword-shaped Device in his hand, being attacked by his opponent. He moved left and right, constantly dodging, with danger always lurking.

Opposite him was a girl wearing the Hagun Academy girl's uniform, with red twin-tails.

Though she was a girl, she looked like a tyrannosaurus.

She wielded a two-handed sword as bright as gold in both hands. She swung the sword, which was about as tall as a person, with great force. By covering the sword's body with bright flames, she slashed with a single strike, making the entire ground of the training field tremble.

Truly shocking!

The brutal attack power left Ikki, who was ten times stronger than Hoshiharu, unable to do anything but dodge and retreat without even thinking of blocking.

Once he overestimated his ability and chose to block, he would surely be defeated by the horrific impact in an instant.

His opponent was a girl with such a terrifying level of power.

The Flame Girl continued to attack, forcing Ikki to retreat again and again without the slightest sign of resistance, making the fight one-sided.

"It's not that her strength is overwhelmingly powerful, but the gap in their magic power is too vast."

Hoshiharu's dynamic vision hadn't undergone much training and wasn't comparable to a true expert, but it was quite good among the Student Knights and could clearly see the situation on the field.

The girl who was Ikki's opponent had a total amount of magic power far exceeding that of ordinary people. Every move she made released an extraordinary amount of heat, and there were many sparks flickering around her, the power so excessive.

For a Blazer with F magic power like Hoshiharu, because his magic power was too little, every point had to be used precisely, with no waste allowed, making it nearly impossible for magic power to leave the body.

But a Blazer with B magic power, or better yet, A magic power, could use their magic power arbitrarily, without worrying about waste, and didn't need to calculate the balance and amount of magic power, as long as they used their full strength to knock down their opponent.

"Of course!"

The girl holding the camera sighed with envy after hearing Hoshiharu muttering to himself.

"That girl's name is Stella Vermillion. She is the second princess of the small Nordic country of Vermillion. Her total magic power is recognized as the strongest in the world!"

Stella Vermillion.

Just as Hoshiharu remembered the name Kurogane Ikki, he also remembered this name. After all, Stella was also a heroine, a woman who would reach the peak step by step sooner or later.

The match between Ikki and Stella also marked the beginning of the entire story. Hoshiharu didn't expect their first battle to happen today.

He felt a bit panicked thinking about it.

He had also communicated with Ikki this morning. If Ikki and Stella were to drift apart due to the butterfly effect when they met, it would be his fault.

What? Was he worried about the storyline changing?

To be fair, the only ones worried about plot changes were those who suddenly traveled through time and remembered the storyline. A rebirth-based time traveler like him, who had wandered the world for more than ten years and almost forgot the storyline, was not worried about the plot at all.

Back to the topic, as the cam girl said, Stella's total magic power was recognized as the strongest in the world by the League of Mage-Knight Nations.

In other words, no Blazer in the world could surpass Stella in terms of total magic power.

From another perspective, Stella also had the strongest magic explosion and the strongest magic defense – the power of magic explosions and magic defense depended on the total amount of magic power – so the earth-shaking attacks were just routine operations.

"As expected of Princess Stella, her opponent has been completely suppressed. This way, it won't take long to determine the winner, right?"

The cam girl could only sigh, "Miracles like yesterday will never happen again. It's a pity there's no subject for the second edition of the school newspaper."

"The theme of the first edition has been decided as 'The sudden defeat of the former third strongest Blazer in the world by a surprising freshman.'"

"Not necessarily."

Suddenly, the words coming from the side caught the girl's attention, the tone of the other person sounding very confident.

"Look closely at the field. Even though Kurogane Ikki is truly being suppressed, Stella Vermillion hasn't touched a single hair on his head. In other words, the fight is still tense."

Upon closer inspection, it indeed seemed so.

The cam girl quickly looked at the field. Her dynamic vision was far inferior to Hoshiharu's, but she could still see that the black-haired boy seemed to be dodging easily, with no injuries on his body.

"That's right!"

The cam girl discovered the miracle and couldn't help but exclaim.

Being able to see the subtlety of the battle situation indicated that this person at least had great vision and was possibly one of the strongest people at Hagun Academy. At least he was different from the ordinary people who easily made judgments before.

"Wow! A super dark horse freshman!"

"?"

Hoshiharu heard the surprised cheer from the girl next to him and placed a question mark on his forehead.
