This sudden turn of events quickly caught the attention of all the spectators.
"Why is he kneeling down?"
"He must have been distracted earlier. Chloe kicked him."
"Wasn't this supposed to be a one-on-one match?"
"You believed their 'one-on-one'? Was there any rule stating it had to be one-on-one before the match started?"
"...I guess not."
Wouldn't that mean chaos?
Indeed, it did.
The student from his team stood up from the arena, ignoring Daniel, and after picking up his weapon, went straight for Chloe.
A sharp "clang" rang out as their weapons clashed, especially piercing to the two who were so close.
Chloe looked innocent as she pulled back her broadsword, then struck again with a particularly tricky move:
"What's wrong? Why such a big reaction? I didn't mean to do it."
Chloe thought for a moment and said, "I thought you were Sister Qu Yan."
"But I guess not. How could Sister Qu Yan be knocked to her knees by just one kick from me? She's not that weak."
The Tagar Military Academy student: "..."
A man can be killed, but not insulted. He was now extraordinarily angry: "You're humiliating me!"
Chloe: "How am I humiliating you? You can eat carelessly, but you can't speak carelessly."
Before she finished speaking, the Tagar student attacked with his sword.
Chloe dodged sideways, her feet lightly touching the ground as she leaped three feet into the air. Her broadsword swept in from one direction, blocking attacks from both Qu Yan and the Tagar student in one move.
Then she counter-attacked with the same posture.
From this point on, the arena descended into utter chaos.
Any semblance of order went out the window.
The atmosphere in the arena was pushed to a climax once again.
The most dramatic aspect was that the students representing Tagar Military Academy seemed to be particularly targeting Chloe.
They would often break away from their fights to stab at Chloe.
Chloe was beyond annoyed, calling them psychopaths.
At the same time, she became increasingly merciless.
Several times, she nearly slit the throats of Tagar students, only stopping at the last second.
Chloe cursed, "Do you guys really not fear death?"
The Tagar students answered her with their actions—indeed, they didn't.
Chloe, fighting against multiple opponents, became visibly more irritated.
This type of competition didn't allow the use of special abilities, which meant Chloe couldn't use her perception, making the situation even more troublesome.
In the end, Chloe simply decided to go all out. After all, as long as no one died, it would still be considered a perfect friendly match.
Thinking this, Chloe smacked the back of a Tagar student's head with the hilt of her sword.
The student's head rang, and he nearly lost his balance.
Chloe had controlled her strength perfectly, ensuring it wouldn't be fatal.
But the struck student saw stars and eventually collapsed on the ground.
Seeing this, Daniel kicked the student to the edge of the arena.
There was a moment of silence in the arena.
Daniel, who had just finished kicking, looked over nonchalantly:
"Why those expressions? He had fainted. I was worried he'd affect our fight if he stayed there, so I just moved him over."
Everyone: "..."
You call that "moving"?
Seeing the complex atmosphere, Chloe finally decided to help break the awkward situation. She raised her sword and struck at a nearby Tagar student.
The person reacted quickly, twirling to avoid the attack.
Chloe didn't mind and attacked again.
During the entanglement, she finally got a clear look at this person's face—
It was beautiful with a touch of femininity, quite androgynous, but judging from the body shape, it was clearly a male.
The sleeve of the combat uniform had a code on it. Chloe had noticed earlier that this person had always kept his distance from her, unlike the other Tagar students who had come to gang up on her.
Chloe felt a surge of gratitude in her heart.
Then she struck even harder.
Can't help it, who told her to be the villain?
Chloe thought this while happily continuing.
As time ticked by, Chloe felt it was about time and exchanged a glance with Anderson nearby.
The power of their two broadswords was not to be underestimated. With a dazzling burst of white light, a large area of the arena was instantly cleared of people.
Even their own teammates weren't spared.
When the two of them joined forces, it was truly indiscriminate carnage, friend or foe.
Daniel, who had been thrown into the air, gave Chloe the middle finger and said hoarsely:
"...Damn you to hell!"
As his words fell, the arena countdown reached zero.
The referee looked at the only two students from The No.1 Military Academy left standing on the arena and finally declared The No.1 Military Academy the winner.
The duration of this match was neither long nor short, exactly thirty minutes.
It was precisely the amount of time Chloe could leisurely endure on a normal day.
As the judgment was announced, Chloe let out a lazy yawn.
Her body swayed, about to fall.
Before she could completely fall asleep, Anderson reached out and caught her.
The familiar scent from the side of her face made Chloe feel very secure as she drifted off to sleep.
Ren Yunying, who was not far away, saw this and waved her hand in their direction, signaling them to come over quickly.
The Tagar Military Academy students saw Chloe's state and asked curiously:
"What's wrong with her? Is she injured?"
Anderson gave them a cold look and said, "She's just tired."
As soon as he finished speaking, Daniel and the others also walked over from nearby.
Qin Huaibei skillfully reattached his broken arm, moved it a couple of times, and then said, "Give her some water, look how dry her mouth is."
Tagar students: "..."
So in the end, Chloe felt drowsy while fighting with them?!
"This is too much! She can even fall asleep while fighting us!"
"This clearly shows she doesn't take us seriously at all!"
Their protests didn't last long.
Thinking carefully, they couldn't beat Chloe five years ago, so it seemed quite normal that they still couldn't beat her now.
No wonder Chloe felt sleepy while fighting them.
But this time, Chloe was really being wrongly accused.
Due to her physical condition, she would just get drowsy after a while. Even after so much treatment, there had been no improvement.
It wasn't intentional.
As The No.1 Military Academy team was leaving the arena, they had only walked a few steps when they were blocked by a Tagar student.
Anderson paused, looking up at the young man in front of him. His eyes held an impatient irritation as he said in a cold tone:
"Move aside."
The young lady couldn't keep sleeping in his arms; it would become uncomfortable.
But even after saying this, the student still refused to yield.
Daniel, rubbing his bruised elbow, looked over curiously:
"Who is this guy?"
The person opposite didn't speak, but after a while finally raised his face.
Only then could others fully see his features.
It was a handsome face with somewhat feminine qualities.
The male student's expression was cold:
"I just wanted to see her."
"The pendant on her neck, I gave it to her."
Hearing this, Katherine slightly furrowed her brow.
She carefully examined the male student's face for a moment, then narrowed her eyes:
"Feng Xi?"
