Chapter 825

Hearing Yanqing: "I thought you only knew how to use brute force."

Miss Yunli: "Who are you calling a violent woman?!"

Miss Yunli: "Stop squawking at me!"

Stelle: "No wonder Miss Yunli wasn't panicking at all — turns out she was already prepared to step up and beat March 7th herself."

March 7th: "No way?"

March 7th: "When has a Master ever gone up to bully their own disciple?"

March 7th: "But speaking of sizing up opponents, I really want to borrow that person's scoring mirror from earlier."

March 7th: "Let's see who in this hall actually scores higher than five!"

Silver Wolf: "Then you'll just pick fights with anyone who scored higher than you?"

Silver Wolf: "Aren't you afraid that score is real, and you'll end up being the one getting beaten instead?"

March 7th: "Impossible. This Miss is absolutely not a combat-five scrub!"

Ying: "Miss March 7th really doesn't seem like a combat-five scrub."

Ying: "It's Paimon who's the real combat-five scrub."

Paimon: "Ah... damn it!"

Paimon: "I can't even argue back!"

The video continues.

【Know yourself and know your foe... let me see, who should I ask now?】

March 7th and Miss Yunli began walking around the hall, trying to scout out the competitors' details.

【... the outfit I'm wearing today really isn't very comfortable.】

【Right, you're the March 7th who stepped in to replace Guard Hearing Yanqing!】

【That's right, isn't it?】

While March 7th was walking around,

two reporters who looked rather out of place came up to March 7th and Miss Yunli.

【That's right. And you are...?】

March 7th looked at the two people in front of her with some confusion.

【As you can see, I'm the reporter in charge of on-site event coverage, that's right.】

The reporter introduced herself.

【The Skyward Commission prepared things pretty thoroughly as the host. Interesting.】

Miss Yunli smiled, watching the interview with keen interest.

【Yeah, at a big event like this, you can usually count on people like us being around.】

【By the way, while there's still time before the match starts, can I ask a few questions I'm interested in?】

The reporter wanted to interview March 7th.

【Actually, I'm here to know myself and know my foe...】

March 7th showed a hesitant expression.

【Knowing yourself and knowing your foe includes understanding yourself, right?】

【Accepting an interview is a great way to understand yourself.】

【First, the question everyone's most curious about!】

【Guard Hearing Yanqing hasn't shown up at today's Martial Arts Ceremony.】

【According to some unreliable rumors, I heard Guard Hearing Yanqing is currently seriously injured. Is that true?】

Hearing Yanqing: "Ah, this..."

Hearing Yanqing: "That rumor really isn't reliable at all, is it?"

Hearing Yanqing: "How am I seriously injured?"

Miss Qingque: "Probably after hearing you withdrew, some people just made up a reason on their own and spread it around."

Miss Qingque: "Still pretty good, at least they're not saying you fled at the last second or were afraid to fight or anything."

Robin: "Strange, why do I feel like these two reporters... are kind of... uh..."

Robin: "Not very professional?"

Robin: "Could it be a Luofu Xianzhou specialty?"

Xia Luodi: "She opens her mouth asking whatever she's interested in — that really doesn't seem like something a professional reporter would do."

March 7th: "Really?"

March 7th: "I don't think there's anything weird about it."

March 7th: "Maybe they're new reporters."

March 7th: "New reporters aren't skilled at their jobs, the Nanmian Society is bound to be like this."

The video continues.

【Uh... y-yes, it's true!】

Hearing this question,

March 7th hesitated briefly, then nodded.

【So that's how it is — may I ask why he's seriously injured?】

The reporter pressed on.

【It's because of a traffic accident!】

March 7th answered without thinking.

"Could it be... a traffic accident on the Star Raft?"

"That was really dangerous!"

"Once the Martial Exhibition Ceremony begins, Young Lady March 7th will be accepting challenges from swordsmanship masters of different worlds. Among them, is there an opponent you're particularly looking forward to?"

The reporter sighed, then moved on to the next question.

"No."

March 7th shook her head.

"No?"

"Contestant March 7th is really arro— ahem, I mean, really confident!"

"Thank you very much for accepting the interview, thank you!"

Furina: "This reporter miss, were you perhaps about to say Young Lady March 7th is arrogant?"

Stelle: "Not necessarily, maybe she was about to say overbearing?"

Gui Naifen: "Is it possible she just meant 'way too arrogant'?"

Lumine: "Ahem, isn't obsessing over this kind of thing pointless?"

Paimon: "Young Lady March 7th sure has a lot of presence!"

Paimon: "Is this what they call looking down on your opponent tactically?"

March 7th: "You're too kind, you're too kind..."

March 7th: "Mainly, I don't even know the contestants' backgrounds, I don't even know any of them..."

March 7th: "So how could I possibly look forward to any of them?"

Miss Yunli: "You can't put it that way — at the very least, you know your Master's background, don't you?"

March 7th: "But I'm not looking forward to running into Master Yunli and getting beaten off the stage!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Be more confident — what if you're the one who beats your Master Yunli off the stage?"

Miss Yunli: "Do you actually believe that?"

March 7th: "I certainly don't."

Hearing Yanqing: "Wait, what was Miss March just saying in the video?"

Hearing Yanqing: "How did I get into a traffic accident?"

March 7th: "Saying it that way can put a stop to others' excessive speculation about you."

March 7th: "Otherwise, the Zhibuding Society might come up with some ridiculous reason on their own."

Hearing Yanqing: "But I'm clearly fine. What if someone runs into me — then I won't be able to explain it either, right?"

Stelle: "What's there to fear? When the time comes, just say, 'my lord the Dragon Lady's miraculous hands brought me back to health — in just a single hour, all my external injuries were completely healed.'"

Stelle: "All that's left are invisible internal injuries, which require careful recuperation following the doctor's orders!"
