As we all know, "gloves" can hide fire and are a standard accessory for a card master.
If it is a normal duel and discussion, the two sides will have a friendly exchange first.
But if one party takes off the gloves and throws them directly to the other party, the meaning is completely different.
At this moment, the ordinary duel will become heroic and great under the witness of the dragon and the gods.
Both sides will bet everything they have until one side admits defeat or dies. This is the [Honor Showdown].
The 'honor duel' originated from the card master's duel in the Middle Ages. When the law cannot rule, it represents the simplest fairness and justice, as well as the simplest logic:
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
With the progress of the times, this form of duel with bloodshed and casualties has gradually decreased, but it is still preserved in Lonicera, a card master academy with a long history.
In order to ensure that this right is not abused, the 'Honor Showdown' has extremely strict regulations. First of all, the cards used by both parties must be of the same quality. Source power cannot be used except for manifestation, or the source power value must be the same... There are many detailed rules.
More than ten items.
The card master who proposes the 'honor duel' needs courage, while the card master who avoids the 'honor duel' will be regarded as a coward.
Although this is backward, for a humiliated card master, this is the best way to wash away the shame and regain honor.
The silent swordsmanship club.
Hilda looked ugly, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:
"You have just arrived in Honeysuckle. I think I should remind you that the so-called honor duel means that even if one party is seriously injured or even disabled during the duel..."
"You talk too much." Jolina frowned.
"Hey, the honor duel is only 1 vs. 1." Hilda turned back, "Get out of the way and get two "Training Wooden Swords" and a "Source Power Detector" over here."
The companions looked at each other and pushed Carlo to get it. Carlo was a little nervous and handed the two white cards "Training Wooden Sword" to them respectively, and reluctantly showed up a source power detector.
[Source Power Detector] can detect the source power fluctuations of the card master during the duel. If one party violates the rules of the 'honor duel', it will automatically be judged as a loss.
"There are so many pairs of eyes on the scene, and it's an honor showdown. You have to think carefully about the price of cheating."
Hilda snorted, the card between her fingers burned and a training wooden sword appeared, she took a mid-level stance and shouted: "Admit defeat as soon as possible, Jolina!"
Except for manifestation, both parties are not allowed to use source power, which is equivalent to a competition of the most basic physical fitness and swordsmanship skills.
Hilda has practiced swordplay since she was a child and has a burly figure. As the sophomore member of the Honeysuckle Swordsmanship Club, she has never lost to a woman in the field of swordsmanship!
Jolina turned sideways and held the hilt of the sword behind her back, and said somewhat boringly: "Let's start as soon as possible."
"Don't regret it!" Hilda looked ferocious, holding a training wooden sword in her hand, and rushed from the side of the training ground with meteoric strides.
This slim training wooden sword is suitable for women, and can be used for picking, stabbing, chopping and swinging.
Hilda raised her wooden sword high and struck hard with her forehand, with great force.
With a clang, Jolina released her strength and pushed away Hilda's sword tip. She continued to block the attacks with " clang clang ", her skills were smooth and her steps were as graceful as a thunderbolt!
Carlo and others beside the training ground were dumbfounded.
Every time Qiao Linna comes to the swordsmanship club, she trains alone. Who would have thought that she could possess such exquisite swordsmanship without using any source of strength!
Clang!
Jolina's eyes suddenly turned cold, she opened the tip of Hilda's sword, and the thin wooden sword struck Hilda's arms and calves like a whip, like a strict teacher:
"The forehand is not good, the backhand is weak, the steps are loose, and the reaction is slow!"
There was severe pain in her calf, and Hilda almost stopped crying. She fell to her knees with a thud, and the wooden sword clanged out of her hands. She looked up and her pupils shrank.
Jolina's deadly wooden sword only stayed a few centimeters away from Hilda's face. The wooden sword cast a haze, but its sword power had stopped.
There was a hint of admonishment in her cold tone:
"If you want to beat me, practice for ten years before you do it again."
The swordsmanship club was completely silent.
Hilda knelt on her knees, looking up at Jolina, who was above her. Tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes: "It was me who lost."
I'm really stupid, really...
How can a pretty boy like Shillong be qualified and worthy of Jolina!!
With the outcome decided, the wooden sword fell from Jolina's hand and turned into a card when it fell to the ground.
Jolina waved her hands lazily: "I'm going to report this 'honor duel' to the Academic Affairs Office... I'm looking forward to your punishment results."
Dusk shone into the swordsmanship club, and Jolina's back in a black and red suit, with her swaying high ponytail, disappeared in front of Hilda and others.
'I'm mentally prepared for punishment or whatever.'
Hilda watched Jolina go away blankly, touching the red marks on her body caused by the wooden sword with her palms, her cheeks turned red.
'But why... I feel a little bit of pleasure when I get slapped on the head by my eldest sister.'
*
It was almost seven o'clock when Qiao Linna left the Liandong Academic Affairs Office.
This was a vicious incident of "bullying a new member of the club", and Jolina "narrowly escaped" being seriously injured.
In addition to Mr. Jones' identity, the school originally wanted to persuade Hilda and several of her companions to leave, but Jolina expressed understanding to them and did not hold them responsible.
For a moment, Hilda and others in the Academic Affairs Office wanted to hug Jolina and cry bitterly, shouting, "Long live my elder sister."
Qiao Linna sighed softly. After living in the foggy city for several years, she was already familiar with this method of winning people's hearts.
The sun sets, and neon lights are reflected in the night sky of Star Map City.
Jolina left the campus and came to the entrance station of the "Global Overpass". The Tinder tool showed a card, held it in her hand, and whispered:
"Come on, Red Baron."
A large number of light particles emerged around Jolina. First, two handlebars appeared in her palms. She squeezed the handlebars, and a streamlined red motorcycle gradually appeared under her body. The seat cushion dragged Jolina up.
This motorcycle has a very beautiful appearance, with red and gold colors, and metallic stripes that reflect the luster. It is very heavy, and the rider needs to lower his body when controlling the handlebars.
A-class Nimbus Motorcycle, Red Baron, sells for about 1 million star coins. (It approximately requires Lin Xiao to continuously smash 400 Card Master Association training rooms.)
This Class A "Nimbus Motorcycle Card" also comes with motorcycle rider clothing, which needs to be ordered in advance when purchasing, and the corresponding "card making pattern" can be engraved into the card and then displayed.
The light particles gradually materialized, and Jolina wore a red driver's uniform in addition to her regular clothes. She put on a red helmet, and her mask slowly lowered, revealing only her delicate lips.
Boom!!
Turning on the engine, a bright and beautiful light wheel opened on the tail of the motorcycle, Jolina passed through the Global Overpass and rushed straight to the beachfront villa area on Second Avenue.
Amidst the roaring engine and the noisy wind, Jolina's heart stopped, and her thoughts flashed back to the neon night scene that was rapidly retreating outside the overpass.
In front of Jolina's eyes, there was an appearance of the man with the heavy sword carefully examining the "unpalatable bread", and an appearance of him holding out his right palm without any precautions. Her confusion towards this man became even more intense.
For Jolina, survival is crucial, and for this she needs to fight with all her strength until she becomes the "unparalleled national warrior" of the Free Federation.
And the man with the epee was incredibly simple, as if he came from a beautiful and peaceful world.
Jolina frowned, pushed the handle of the car to the maximum, and the rampaging red baron opened the increasingly thick beam of light.
She couldn't judge whether the epee man was wrong or right, but she admired a poem from centuries ago.
'Being mean is the passport of the mean, and being noble is the epitaph of the noble.'
Bah!
A sharp drifting sound echoed through the night, and the Red Baron stopped at a cliff. Jolina turned over and stepped off the motorcycle, took off her helmet, and her messy ponytail danced in the wind under the moonlight.
In front of her was a beautiful silver lake, and across the lake was her family's manor, with a bright full moon hanging over the manor.
Jolina was wearing a motorcycle uniform, sitting next to the red baron, with her hands on her knees, one leg stretched out, she glanced at the moon, then lowered her head to look at the palm of her hand:
A shining golden fire.
Seeing the epee man in dark armor appearing in front of her eyes, Jolina raised her beautiful side face, looked up at the moon, and whispered:
"Who is the sun and who is the night..."
*
After arriving home, Jolina rarely knocked on Mr. Jones's study door.
A middle-aged man's voice came from the room: "What's wrong?"
"Help me check out a person named Shillong Bligh." Jolina paused, "He may not be suitable for studying at Lonicera University."
There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man replied: "I have written it down."
Jolina doesn't have a good impression of her father, but she has to admit that Mr. Jones is one of the most powerful "money makers" in the Federation today and can solve many troublesome problems.
After a busy day, when I returned to the bedroom, I didn’t even have time to take a sip from my own ragdoll cat.
Jolina fell asleep until the next morning, when she lay down in the virtual cabin:
"Connect, start."
As if her consciousness passed through a light curtain, Qing Kui appeared in a mansion in Yunduan City, heading to the 'Yunduan Tower' agreed with the epee man.
Not long after, arriving at the Cloud Hall, Qing Kui found that the epee man had been waiting there for a long time, standing next to the cloaked mage, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"So this is it..." Qing Kui thought thoughtfully.
Blindly giving alms to the cloaked mage will only make this wife look down upon even more.
However, if the heavy swordsman shows respect for the cloaked mage, it will be a disguised support for her... people will show more goodwill towards her in the future.
The corners of Qiao Linna's mouth turned up slightly, looking at the epee man in dark armor in front of her, she thought to herself:
"I underestimated him..."
Lin Xiaozheng was chatting awkwardly with the cloaked mage.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Xiao asked.
"You asked this question half an hour ago, Mr. Heavy Sword Man." The cloaked mage felt helpless.
The heavy swordsman crossed his arms and shrugged his armor.
After all, before Qing Kui arrives, I have to find an acquaintance to kill time...
Lin Xiao was so idle that he wanted to yawn. Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw a familiar figure through the steel mask.
The epee man waved his gauntlet: "First on the list, this way!"
Jolina: "..."
There was a 'click' just now, and something suddenly broke... Was it my imagination?
