Daisy's last attack was very powerful . Although she did not use high-layer spells, the sheer number of lightning bolts she unleashed was enough to drown any sixth-layer enemy .
Immediately after Daisy finished unleashing the spells, she collapsed the ground .
I instantly jumped onto the stage and held her up . Daisy opened her eyes weakly and smiled . \"Your highness, I did it . \"
\"Well done . \" I smiled and hugged her . Daisy closed her eyes with a satisfied smile and fainted .
The next second, I shook my head .
I did not have the heart to tell her the truth, not now .
I looked in direction of the lightning bolts and sighed .
Daisy's last attack was formidable, but unfortunately, it failed .
When the lightning rain stopped, a mana shield had appeared on the arena, protecting Harry's completely .
I looked at the ring on his hand . A defensive magic item able to stop any attack below the ninth layer once .
Harry was slightly pale . \"Damn, I almost lost . I was saving this barrier as a trump card . Unfortunately, I can't use it anymore today . \"
I ignored him and carried Daisy in a princess carry to the healing mages . They checked her briefly and confirmed that it was just mana depletion plus some internal injuries .
I nodded and laid her down on a stretcher before returning to the team .
Dina sighed in pity when she saw me . \"Shame, I thought Daisy had managed to knock him down . \"
I smiled wryly . \"She did a good job, but the enemy protective item was unexpected . \"
Dina nodded . She then looked at our remaining team members and frowned .
\"Rose, you are next . \"
\"Understood, president . \" An excited smile appeared on Rose's face . She looked at the stage with an expression of anticipation .
Dina tapped her shoulder with a serious expression . \"Be careful, we are three members down, but Alan's team has only lost two participants . You must win this time . \"
Rose grinned . \"Don't worry, your highness, I'll not let down your expectations . \"
She then jumped into the arena and introduced herself .
\"My name is Rose, freshman, and a sixth-layer magic warrior . Please guide me . \" She bowed politely .
Harry frowned . \"Magic warrior, what does that mean?\"
Rose just smiled sweetly and unsheathed her sword . She then leaned slightly forward and waited for the headmistress signal .
\"Are you ready?\"
Seeing the two of them nod, Evelyn raised her hand and lowered it down .
\"Start!\"
In the next instant, Rose kicked the ground .
\"Ugh!\"
Harry grunted . He parried Rose's sword aside, but the strength behind the attack made him lose his balance .
Narrowing her eyes, Rose spun around and unleashed another blow . The sword shone and sliced the air towards Harry's neck .
*Ding!*
Harry's daggers managed to block the blow . But the next attack was already over him . Rose's knee kicked towards Harry's belly, intent on crushing it .
At that moment, however, Harry flashed away and retreated .
\"Crazy…\" He mumbled softly and stared at Rose . The hero was also looking at him with a smile .
She then kicked the ground again .
*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*
Sword and daggers clashed against each other repeatedly . Harry was forced to lean his head aside, but Rose's sword cut some strands of his hair .
Before Harry could thanks his luck though, Rose bent her elbow and swung it towards his face .
Cold sweat flowed on Harry's back . He hurriedly crouched down and rolled aside to evade the attack .
This was the first only-warriors combat of today's fights, and the intensity was incredible .
Shockwave after shockwave spread on the arena . Both Rose and Harry moved so quickly that most students were unable to follow their movements .
Harry's expression darkened quickly . As a late sixth-layer warrior focused on speed, he was faster than most sixth-layer practitioners; however, he had finally met someone as fast as him .
Furthermore, the opponent was someone that had just broken through the sixth layer .
But speed was not the only thing surprising about Rose . Her strength and swordsmanship were first-rate . Harry was completely pressured, unable to counterattack .
Rose wielded her sword fiercely . Each attack created airwaves that cut Harry's skin, and each movement was aimed to pressure her opponent and bring him close to defeat .
The fight was completely in her control, and despite Harry's desperate attempts to recover the initiative, he was completely suppressed by Rose's overwhelming strikes .
His wrist started to hurt . More than once, he was forced to rely on his movement technique, [Flash Step], to escape .
But it was the most he could do . Every time he tried to counterattack, Rose's sword was coming towards his neck .
\"Damn it!\" Harry cursed with an ugly expression . He evaded a slash narrowly only to find Rose's leg coming from below . When he jumped back, Rose's sword was again slicing towards him .
\"This girl!\" Harry held his daggers and pointed down . He then used [Flash Step] again and retreated hurriedly .
Finally getting an opportunity to catch his breath, he activated a technique .
\"[Wind-Blessed Daggers]!\"
With his shout, the wind surged towards him . Harry's daggers took a green glow and slashed towards Rose .
But Rose answered with a sword thrust . She clashed against Harry's daggers directly .
*Bam!*
Rose's expression changed . In the next second, her body was sent flying .
Harry smirked . [Wind-Blessed Daggers] was a sixth-layer dagger technique . Receiving it head-on was suicide .
Now that he had recovered the initiative, he was not going to give Rose the opportunity to counterattack .
With his daggers shining green, Harry unleashed countless dagger shadows . His body flashed and appeared behind Rose, and his daggers pierced towards her waist .
Rose reacted exceptionally . She used a downward slash to block the daggers, but the powerful dagger technique sent her flying once more .
A thread of blood flowed down from her lips, but Rose's face remained calm . She used the strength of the blow to retreat and restore her posture .
Harry was not going to allow it, though .
Kicking the ground, he appeared above Rose and swung his daggers down .
But contrary to an expression of despair, he saw a smile .
Rose curved her lips up and muttered a word .
\"Shield . \"
And a magic circle appeared between her and Harry .
*Clang!*
The daggers clashed against the shield .
\"Magic!?\" Harry was astonished . But Rose did not give him time to think . Taking advantage of the brief time earned by the mana shield, she stopped her moment forcibly and slashed upwards .
\"Ha!\"
Her sword shone brightly . The light on Rose's sword was blinding, and the power behind her blow was devasting .
Seeing the sword slash coming towards his neck, Harry was forced to retreat again . For some reason, he knew he could not take that attack head-on .
But before he could sigh in relief, ten light arrows were descending towards him .
