Chapter 79 Shock!
"I know," Ursula admitted, but facing Emily, she was extremely calm. As if she wasn't worried in the slightest.
This situation made Emily frown, wondering what other cards Ursula had. 'I should defeat her fast before she makes any extra moves.'
So she immediately started preparing for her finisher move while cautiously observing Ursula.
"If you know, then see you at the academy, Princess Ursula."
Saying that Emily, immediately aimed her bow at Ursula and pulled the string without any arrow.
Unlike before, when an elemental arrow appeared out of thin air. This time Emily just released the string in an empty bow, sending an arc-shaped wind slash towards Ursula.
"Not so fast!"
Facing the arc, Ursula stepped heavily on the ground and used her big move.
"Eruption!!!"
The ground cracked and the white raging flames erupted, engulfing everything around her.
"Shit!"
"Wind Shield!"
Emily cursed loudly and immediately tried to distance herself while forming an incomplete protective cover around her. But she was still a step late and was surrounded by the erupting white flames.
Slowly, the flames surrounding Emily subsided, and a scorched figure was revealed with burned marks all over her body. Emily's condition also wasn't much better than Ursula's. But she still had enough mana to make a few more moves on Ursula.
As for Ursula, the eruption did manage to deflect the wind slash away from her direction. But using such a big move caused her to use almost all of her mana, and now she was in a vulnerable state.
So if Emily wasn't defeated in that last move, then Ursula can only be eliminated.
Slowly, the flames surrounding Emily subsided, and a scorched figure was revealed with burned marks all over her body. Emily's condition also wasn't much better than Ursula's. But she still had enough mana to make a few more moves on Ursula.
Gritting her teeth, Emily said, "That move was very powerful, Princess Ursula."
Because it was a VR world, the pain she felt wasn't much. But she knew that if she took that move in the real world, she would have been unconscious for at least a week or even a month. Seeing Emily still standing, Ursula was visibly disappointed. She knew that she couldn't continue anymore. But she still smiled and said. "Your resilience is also very good, Princess Emily. I expected you to be eliminated by that move."
Emily nodded, not refuting her words, and said, "That would have been the case if I hadn't reacted in the last second. Fortunately, I did and now you lose, Princess Ursula."
Ursula's mood was very low at that moment, but just when she was about to say something. She saw someone approaching Emily, which surprised her.
***
At the stadium.
All the viewers were excited watching the battle between Princess Ursula and Princess Emily. Although the battle was short, the moves they used were very dazzling.
Even the failed candidates were amazed by their performance while at the same time depressed about themselves for lacking in strength.
"Princess Ursula's 'Eruption' move was amazing!"
"Princess Emily's Wind Slash and Wind Gauntlet were also amazing."
"Yeah, but not as amazing as Eruption!"
"Unfortunately, Princess Ursula doesn't have much mana now. Otherwise, she could have won."
"Waaa, my fairy, Princess Emily looks so miserable."
An elf looked at the screen sadly. Another elf beside him comforted.
"Don't worry, it's just in the VR world. She is fine in reality."
"I know that, but still."
While the battle amazed normal people.
The professionals, such as the professors of the academy, were also discussing among themselves and evaluating them.
"There were a lot of mistakes."
"Well, they don't have much experience in combat, so it's normal."
"Hmm, but still, their use of power is too raw and unrefined. Although they have learned good moves, they don't know how to apply them in combat properly." An old professor expressed his opinion about them. Then, looking at a blue-haired woman who seemed to be in her twenties, he said.
"But I have to say both of them have good potential."
"I suggest that they should be taught under Professor Olivia."
When the woman named Olivia heard this, she asked with a plain expression.
"Do you mean as a class instructor, Professor Hardy?"
"Yes, and also direct guidance."
Hearing this, Olivia didn't express anything. But a handsome professor with snake-like slit eyes stood up with a cold expression.
"Direct guidance will only be given if they can get to the Top 20 in the overall rankings. But from their current situation, it doesn't seem like it's possible."
"Yes, yes, Professor Darrin. It was just a suggestion." Professor Hardy shrugged and didn't intend to continue talking.
Everyone in the room was familiar with Professor Darrin's personality. So they just ignored his words and continued looking at the screen as there was a big change in the battle.

With her passive fairy healing, Emily's wounds were slowly being healed, so she somewhat recovered from the burn marks.
Just when she was ready to give Ursula the final blow. She saw her surprised expression, which made her vigilant. But before she could react.
*Bang!*
The next moment, she heard a gunshot sound that surprised her. She immediately moved sideways and looked behind.
She was shocked when she saw the disappearing body of a candidate who had a wide hole in his head.
But what made her horrified was that she didn't even notice someone approaching and sneaking up on her. He was already very close to her location and in their current state, if not for that gunshot, his sneak attack would have surely succeeded.
"Come out!" She shouted while looking around cautiously at the same time she was preparing to use her Wind Shield.
Ursula was the same, trying to sense someone nearby. It is just that, unlike Emily, she had no protective measures.
***
In the real world. The audience had an idea about who it may be.
"Is it him?"
"It should be."
"It was a gunshot. Who else can it be?"
---
Inside the VIP box. Luimne, Ronald and David were certain that it was Luis.
***
Under Emily and Ursula's cautious eyes. Luis' figure appeared in front of them as he said casually.
"Yo, Miss Emily, we meet again."
"It's you!" Emily became excited, looking at Luis in front of her. Although before she wanted to beat up this guy but now, she doesn't have much strength to face him. So she can only hope that he doesn't attack her now.
With a fake smile on her face, she asked politely. "What are you doing here, Mr. Luis?"
Ursula, who was looking at Luis curiously, wondering where she had seen him, was shocked when she heard Emily's sentence. Not only Ursula, but everyone familiar with Emily's personality was shocked.
No one expected this rotten princess to talk so politely.
Luis chuckled inwardly, looking at Emily's expression. 'She must be cursing me in her mind.'
Looking at her, he said with some disappointment. "Well, I was enjoying a good show. But that guy with Stealth Skill interrupted."
Hearing his latter sentence, she understood why she couldn't detect that candidate's presence before. But Luis' former sentence still concerned her.
"Um, what does Mr. Luis mean by enjoying a good show? How long have you been here?"
Luis pointed at the tree not far from them and said honestly, "Since the beginning."
But Luis' casual sentence came as an enormous shock for both Emily and Ursula.
Forget that sneaky guy. Now their condition isn't good, so it's not surprising that they couldn't sense him.
Luis said that he had been here since the beginning. That means they couldn't sense him even in their best state.
How can that be?
But when they turned to look at the tree in unison, they saw an empty can and some empty packets of snacks were thrown near it.
'What the hell?!'
Ursula and Emily couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
***
Even the audience outside was dumbfounded by this Luis' revelation.
"Damn! That guy is so cool!"
"Is this taking a test? People are fighting and struggling hard to survive even a second longer. He is there taking a stroll and eating snacks!"
"Yeah, before he was whistling while shooting his opponents."
"I saw that too. I couldn't help but get goosebumps remembering it."
"Same here, brother."
"I want the screen to show more of his fights!"
"Yeah!"
"Me too!"
---
Kevin's lips twitched. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Even the professors were silent while looking at Luis with some curiosity.
Because they knew that this kind of confidence could only come because of two reasons. Either confidence in their self-strength or ignorance of the world.
But looking at Luis' temperament, they believed it should be the former reason.
Olivia's eyes were glued on the screen, observing Luis not knowing what she was thinking.
---
Inside the VIP box.
Ronald and David were speechless by Luis' casualness. But they still had smiles on their faces as they watched the screen.
On the other hand, Lumine had a small frown on her face.
'When did Luis meet the princess of the Esperia Kingdom?'
'I should have a chat with him later.'
