The two disappeared from the arena in an instant, consciousness returning to their bodies. Iris touched her right hand and cheek, unable to stop her tears. Although the pain wouldn't linger, the fear she experienced just now still remained.

"Interesting... Headmaster, you've surely seen her in this condition before," Baron silently nodded in response to Anwar's question. "If this power could be properly controlled, it might bring great help to humanity..."

Rico also opened her eyes, looking tense, breathing heavily. Kazami took the initiative to comfort her, holding Rico's hand and embracing her. "It's okay... Relax, I'm here." Rico trembled slightly but soon calmed down, then returned to her seat sweating profusely.

"Hmm, that guy knows how to play some tricks," Leo whispered, while Anwar remained puzzled. "During that hug just now, he used Soureflexes at close range to calm the girl with overwhelming Qi."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKn9jN0MnC
"Using Soureflexes before graduation? Truly limitless potential, hehe..." Baron chuckled satisfactorily.

It was the turn of the third pair in the match, but it wasn't Shoyo's turn yet; it was Kazami versus Maggie.

"Alright, it's finally my turn..." Kazami continued to approach with a smile, even shaking hands with Maggie. "Don't give up, you're actually strong. Let's do our best together!"

Facing the top student of this generation, Maggie had already accepted her defeat. In terms of appearance, she couldn't match Rico; in terms of Qi, she couldn't match Jennie; in terms of skill, she couldn't match Iris. Among the four female students, she undoubtedly had the lowest strength, but she luckily made it to the Imperial Ceremony by the skin of her teeth. However, being treated so politely by Kazami suddenly ignited a spark of hope for victory in her. So Maggie approached the competition seat with a short knife in hand, while Kazami had no weapons. The two appeared on the stage.

Maggie struggled to move her limbs, hoping to quickly adapt to her physical abilities, her eyes filled with firm confidence. Even if she lost, she wanted to show all her strength.

On the other hand, Kazami continued to stand leisurely on the platform, his right hand in his pocket. He suddenly turned to face the three referees, bowing respectfully, then raised his hand to ask a question.

"Ah... Headmaster, just to confirm, if one directly receives a fatal injury, it will be added to the score?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXADovsMudG
"...Yes." Baron hesitated slightly before answering, and then Kazami continued to inquire.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtzvdLibJ1
"Then, when the score reaches one hundred, will the system immediately disconnect, without any pain? Because I'm very concerned about this." Then he glanced sideways at Iris, who had been touching her face and right hand since she was injured during the match.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfU5AXlpPN
Baron naturally understood his intention. "Yes. She suffered from prolonged pain, which is why she couldn't forget that feeling even after the connection was severed."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK22jqo2gu
"Thank you, Headmaster." Kazami bowed again, then turned to Maggie.

"I, too, am a gentleman, unable to harm a beautiful woman. Plus, seeing Maggie endure the pain just now, I can't bear it. But I don't want to stand there like someone, enduring applause and slaps, suffering both pain and the loss of dignity as a man..." At this point, he looked disdainfully at Cloude. "...So, Sister Maggie, use the short knife in your hand to stab my heart directly and let me reach one hundred points directly."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bSZSMPe9K
Suddenly making such a demand, although Maggie felt strange, she couldn't hide her inner joy. She thought she would have to fight this highest-ranking student to the point of being scarred, but now she had the chance to win without a fight, just like Jennie; it was really lucky!

"Is... is it true?" Maggie couldn't quite believe her ears.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj82aPPSZj
Kazami looked at her with a smile in response to her shock mixed with doubt, pointing to his heart position. "Yes, don't be nervous. But you must unleash all your power with this strike. Come on! ContQi your whole body with the determination to kill me, and stab here with all your might as fast as you can."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bevqaaI9r
It was only then that Maggie remembered that the outcome of this duel was not the key; revealing her skills was the core. So she ContQi as instructed, focusing all her will on the strike she was preparing.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzfUov1ATR
"Thank you, Kazami." Reminded by the opponent, her eyes became extremely determined, and the other students could feel her determination, but Kazami remained calm.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGIJJH1TVP
Taking a deep breath, Maggie assumed her stance, tightly gripping the short knife and aiming it at Kazami's heart to stab. In an instant, both disappeared from the arena, and the match ended.

The score counter above showed Maggie at one hundred points, while Kazami won with zero points.
