I got into a duel in the presence of a crowd.
During this unexpected situation, people who had completed their enrollment flocked to the site and formed an arena.
āTheo, youāre in a duel!? What the heII is going on!?ā
Elga asked me about this situation. She frowned as I briefly explained what had just happened.
āIf itās according to the rules, I canāt fight for you⦠You have to figure this out yourself, will you be okay?ā
Elga was worried about me.
āAfter all, you fight like shiā .ā
⦠I had to agree with that fact. Meanwhile, Aira was carefreely smiling as if she had nothing to worry about. She even sat languidly in a luxurious chair she brought from somewhere next to Elga.
āElga, do you really think my Theo will lose?ā
āNo, I am thinking by common sense! What can he even do!?ā
When Elga asked Aira such a question, Aira simply shook her head.
āElga, you still have a long way to go. Theo is the smartest man after me. He can solve theseĀ kinds of problems easily!ā
Elga stopped talking. She knew very well that further conversation with her cousin was of no use.
ā⦠Hey, Theo, is there really a way?ā
āYou should know that I donāt fight a losing battle. Well, of course, it wonāt be āmyā fight.ā
I then looked at the man in front of me, Efside.
He sneered at me while holding a bat full of nails and laughed.
āAgain, this is a fair duel. No complaints, understood? Behind you, the Queen and Young Lady Marquis should be well aware.ā
āItās you who shouldnāt speak shiā later. You cowardly savage!ā
āHeh heh, fine⦠So, where is your warrior? Or are you going to fight yourself~?ā
āNo. He should be here right aboutā¦ā
My representative would stick out like a sore thumb no matter where he was placed.
It was then that I felt the earth ringing in my ears.
Turning my head, I saw a gigantic body moving in the distance.
I raised my hand and signaled to my warrior. Seeing this, the giant approached me with a frown.
āGorgor. Many work. Overtime. Too many. Almost late!
At the same time, many were greatly astonished.
āWhat the fųck is that!? Why is that thing coming over here!?
āWhy is an ogre here!? Itās a man-eating monster!
People started panicking at the sudden appearance of a giant monster, an Ogre. It was understandable since ogres were monsters that could occupy a fortress with just their bodies.
To deal with an ogre alone, one would need to be a Sword Master or an Archmage of the 5th Rank or higher.
Of course, the cowardly and obscene savage Efside was neither a Sword Master nor an Archmage. He didnāt amount much to anything in the first place and just used cowardly tricks.
I knew it well, because I too was a coward!
Just then, Efside shouted in agitation.
ā⦠This, fųck this! What is this!? Professor! Isnāt this cheating? Can you even bring monsters to the Temple!? Iām certain that right is limited only to Ark Officials!ā
Hearing this, the ogre Gorgor laughed at him.
āI. Gorgor. Faculty hired! Teachers gave many work. Stable job. Salary. Not underpaid!
ā⦠This, fųck this shiā !ā
Efsideās eyes turned to me. Ahh, it was always pleasant to see the face of a smug and arrogant person be colored with surprise and bewilderment.
āYou cowardly basā ard! Dirty demon! This is a scam! This, this, this is unacceptable!ā
Shut the fųck up, fųcking Ä
sshole!
I had no sympathy for a punk like you!
āThe duel is already over. If you admit defeat and scram, your brooch and plaques will be mine. You wonāt be able to do anything this semester.ā
Efside looked around with anxious eyes.
Among the people that āmadeā up the arena, there were less than 100 people with golden brooches.
After making eye contact with them, Efside trembled and sighed.
āAlright-. You little shiā . You think I havenāt killed monsters before? When I was in my hometown, I had dealt with four trolls at once!ā
Efside tried igniting his fighting spirit.
Gorgor seemed quite surprised by that.
āFour trolls? You. Greater warrior than looks. I admit. But Gorgor fought stronger. I survived. And youāre weaker than Gorgor.
āDamned monster! Bring it on, basā ard!ā
Efside rushed towards Gorgor with the nailed bat.
It was a powerful charge, not unlike a bull. If it had been me facing this, I would have fallen backwards in shock.
But Gorgorās gigantic palm simply crushed Efside like a fly.
The overwhelming physical difference.
āThis result because slow brain. People. Learn from this.
It was a bit strange for an ogre, who was reputed to be dimwitted, to say something like that.
However, no one thought of protesting against the monster that had just crushed Efside with one hand.
āA person got treated like some kind of bugā¦.
āThat arrogant Efside basā ard had this coming!
At that moment, Aira laughed, as if the situation was very funny.
āHow amusing. A manās life just got snuffed out like a fly~.ā
āNo. Gorgor. Not kill. I promised. Instead. Body bones crushed.
As Gorgor lifted his gigantic palm, Efside convulsed like a broken electronic toy.
He barely survived. But that was natural as Gorgor could even rip and kill a knight with his bare hands. At this time, I ripped off the āTea Timeā lecture plaque from Efsideās waist and also took the brooch on his chest.
āYou, you biā chā¦. This is what you were aiming for, provoking me like thisā¦.ā
Interesting. I heard that Barbarians had tough vitality.
Seeing this, the rumors seemed to be true.
In my head, Efside got a plus one in life.
āYou, did you plan this when you picked āLast and Firstā? That sā upid word chain gameā¦.. just to provoke me on purposeā¦.ā
What were you talking about? I was serious about itā¦
āI guess thatās what heās been aiming all along!
āTrue, I was also a little confused when he suddenly chose āLast and Firstā. After all, weāre not kindergarteners.
āWord chain was indeed a bit too outlandish⦠So, itās great that it was just meant to provoke Efside to a duel!
⦠I watched my serious attempt at winning through āLast and Firstā being trampled on, yet had no choice but to swallow my tears and nod my head.
āYes, āLast and Firstā was just a trap and you fell for it! Otherwise, why would someone take a thing as silly as a word game seriously? I just wanted to pĀ”ss you off and trick you into a duel!ā
With my confident cry, the surroundings exploded with murmurs.
āOh my God, how many steps did he look ahead?
āDid Efside just got played by a Bronze Class? Is he really Bronze?
Hearing the murmurs, Efside spat out blood.
āFųck⦠When you claimed to be ātheā infamous Demon Monk⦠I didnāt believe itā¦ā
āEveryone says that. Also, when you steal from someone else, you should be prepared to lose what is yours. If you lose your brooch like this, will you be expelled from the Academy?ā
Efside fainted as he couldnāt stay conscious any longer. Honestly, I still wanted to give this bastard a firm kick.
Then again, he already got crushed by an ogreās palm and was terribly mangled.
If I showed anything more provocative than this, Aira might awaken as the Blade Queen⦠Hence, I took off my robe and covered his body.
As a result, I was able to get the lectures and silver brooch that I wanted.
āGorgor. Got credits. Take lecture. Will know a lot. And not get beaten.
In addition, Gorgor was able to take 12 credit lectures and another brooch from Efside.
