A Third-Rate Villain Sucking Honey With an Academy Bug

35 – Duel

Raphaer’s office.

The dormitory where Claris Academy also uses magic power.

There is a luxurious lounge on the first floor of this dormitory.

chandelier embroidering the ceiling,

An old-fashioned interior that gives rise to an unprecedented formality.

Even delicious desserts made by chefs called artisans in the empire.

This was also a system for creating an atmosphere of study in the academy, and it was a benefit given only to S-class cadets who set an example for others.

And Hong Yeom – Melissa de Prominence, who took the top freshman position in recognition of her natural talent, invited Arya to this place to have a refreshment.

“Lea, don’t you like it?”

“No, it’s too much for me.”

“Ugh… ”

Perhaps because of the class change, Melissa thought it was difficult to meet Arya the last few days.

Even when Melissa visits in person, it is often said that she is absent, and that she is often seen in the dressing room.

From a woman’s intuition, it must have been a man-related problem.

“You, aren’t you secretly dating me?”

“yes?”

“These days, second-year seniors say that pretty girls come and go in and out of the gym?”

“… I am not.”

“Also, with humility, Leah, it’s possible to pick and date with you.”

“no.”

“Ugh… okay?”

Despite Melissa’s successive doubts, Arya cut it off firmly.

choose to date

Arya had never really considered the feeling of dating inappropriate for her age.

Right now, all she has on her mind is Rev Denek.

Today is the day of Gaelon and his duel.

Of course, refreshments that she had never eaten before were good, but it was her sincerity that she was more concerned about the outcome of the duel.

If Rev loses and has to leave the academy, there is no time to confirm his suspicions about the arch-evil Andras.

It’s still hard to attach feelings to him, but… Arya was actually a little cheering for Rev to win.

‘Recently, it hasn’t caused any major problems, and as a result, it hasn’t caused any harm to others… ‘

There was no hypocrisy in his actions, and Arya was in a position to receive help.

Rev Denek to Arya Bluebell,

He has become a person who has no choice but to care anytime, anywhere.

“Lea?”

“… ”

“aria?!”

“…yes?”

“It was a shame to eat alone, so I called Leah. I think I will be a little sad.”

“I’m sorry. I’m eating deliciously too, so go ahead and eat.”

“yes… ”

The duel is at noon.

And now it’s 11 o’clock…

I’m sorry to Melissa, but it was Arya who wanted this time to end quickly.

Yegudi Nok’s coffin with cadets in utility positions, not knights or wizards.

In the adjacent building connected to this dormitory, there is an arena where each grade can compete on a floor-by-floor level.

＜Reincarnated Hero＞ According to the setting, Kroon, who was the most courageous of his predecessors, was said to have been a gladiator.

To commemorate this, the arena was made in the form of a circular Colosseum.

Apparently, the most fun things in the world are watching the water, watching the fire, and watching the fight.

The new semester, where the ranked match had not even started, the duel that took place early was a topic of discussion despite the school year, so there was a large crowd.

Even before the duel started, the cadets were already betting on the whereabouts of the match.

-If you want to earn even a penny, it’s Gaelon.

-Which madman would bet on a freshman?

– Did you hear that the freshman had an argument first? aren’t you confident?

– Then you bet on the freshman.

And on the other hand, there seemed to be a fan club that followed Gaelon.

-What if Gaelon-sama gets hurt because of that bad boy… ?

– You don’t trust the master? After all, the child will surrender soon, right?

– By the way, how wonderful will you show me… ! Keep it in your eyes… sun!

‘They’re playing.’

There is no separate idol fan club.

Well, it’s only natural that the elf looks beautiful.

I got out of the stands and headed into the arena.

.

.

.

“Both of you, take your seat!”

In the center of the arena, there was an assistant instructor that I had seen in the last screening test.

“Gailon Sharpie, Grade S, Grade S, and Bella, Assistant Instructor Bellada, the initiator of the duel for Lev Denek, Grade B.”

She began to explain it skillfully, as if she had seen this happen a lot.

“The detailed rules for duels and future policies based on the results must be followed as stipulated by Claris Academy.”

“If both parties agree to this, make an oath with your arms at right angles.”

Gailon and I, following Bella’s instructions, raised our arms as if we were taking an oath.

[first… ]

When Bella recites the rules for dueling in a loud voice like that, the guy made an obvious provocation.

“Didn’t you run away? I thought you were a coward.”

“… … ”

I try to react with indifference,

For the strategy I had in mind, I responded with a word.

“Is your neck okay?”

“What?”

“The back of my neck, I’m going to be stepped on again today, are you okay?”

“You, you bastard… If it wasn’t for this mock war, I’d die at my hands… know?”

“I don’t know.”

As I came out childish, Gaylon began to growl.

“Hey, human garbage. Where are you going to get your tail on Selena?”

His voice grew even louder.

“Is it okay to get a spark of interest with sympathy? You disgusting child.”

He seemed to know that Selena helped me with my training.

Come to think of it, I was able to train efficiently thanks to her.

I actually got a lot stronger.

I guess I should say thank you.

I replied with a smile.

“Yes, Selena is hot.”

* * *

The students weren’t the only ones watching this duel.

Instructor Sylvester and Professor McClonn, who was about to retire soon, were also there.

In general, since there is a ranked match in which the cadets sharpen their teeth and prepare for it, the professors pay more attention to this, but

This time it was different.

It was because there was Rev Denek, who secretly caught the monster of the last screening test.

“Is that student?”

Professor McClon’s gaze was gray hair and black eyes.

I went to a young man with no flaws.

“yes. It seems right. The atmosphere has changed a bit, though.”

Sylvester was also aware of him.

But something has changed.

The impression, and the aura radiating from the body.

‘Is this level of growth possible in a short period of time?’

In fact, the fact that he was assigned to a B-grade was greatly influenced by Professor McConne.

Originally, he was a perfect guy with the lowest grade of C, but

I couldn’t help but acknowledge the contribution of the sudden appearance of demonic extermination.

Of course, the penalty points were high, and I tried to adjust as much as I could according to my actions in the future, but

You’re working hard enough to have a duel with your seniors…

“Sylvester, who do you think will win?”

“Dare you, I think it’s a gaylon… ”

“Why do you think so?”

“The freshman has not yet taken the Dalian Practitioner… A year for Clarisse is by no means an easy one.”

“Yeah, yes.”

At Sylvester’s sober evaluation, Professor McClone thought only in his mind.

“If it’s a normal guy.”

* * *

Gaylon began to convulse as if struck in the bone by my provocation.

“This f*ck!”

The guy’s eyes almost went round,

– Whistle.

“… ?”

Trying to punch me out of balance,

“An unexpected action is a duel disqualification.”

Bella’s restraint seemed to have no choice but to return.

Although it was quite funny, it must have been different for the spectators who saw it.

– Whoa!

-what should we do! I guess it’s started!

– Freshman, what kind of provocation did you do?

Everyone seemed to be having fun and was greeted with warm applause.

“Gaelon, it’s in front of my juniors. Set an example.”

Bella continued her explanation calmly, like an old man soothing the burning youth.

“A shooter’s fight uses an arrow with a rubber nib. The weight doesn’t change, so you’ll get used to it quickly. And the two of them will be armed for the duel here.”

A weapon with minimal protective gear, and a fairly sturdy, but unlikely to have great lethality.

[Claris Academy Duel Crossbow]

[Rarity: E]

[A crossbow made for practice. It seems difficult to expect destructive power.]

[Can be equipped]

———————————————————

Anyway, there will be the intervention of skills and magical powers, so if you hit even this much, it will inflict sufficient damage.

“Finally, I would like to point out one of the most important rules.”

“The game ends when one side surrenders, or when one side is no longer able to fight the duel at the discretion of the witnesses. Then we will decide the match.”

“When you’re ready, both sides, put them in their respective places.”

Me and Gaylon stood on a circular tile about 30 meters in diameter from each other.

“The start of the match, thirty seconds before.”

Bella started counting.

.

.

.

Gaylon Sharpty and I.

In terms of stats, my side is at a disadvantage.

He’s a senior, and like the second head of the archery department, his average stat is a whopping 3.1, and even though I’ve been training like that, it’s about 2.1.

There, the bow proficiency is 7 to 6, which is 1 level difference.

The level difference in wind archery is level 3 for him and level 1 for me.

The most important thing is that he is not a demon, and he cannot utilize the hermit trait.

“Twenty.”

20 seconds until the start of the duel is a man,

– Whoops…

The boy closed his eyes and began to sing a small chorus.

Perhaps to use [Wind Archery], gathering wind energy in advance.

He said that he was going to humiliate me as much as possible, press him slowly, and humiliate me for a very long time.

‘Let’s be calm.’

But that’s why you can win.

Gaelon’s stance is the same from the beginning until now.

I feel that the human race is uncivilized,

I am proud of my bow,

He always ignores me and looks down on me.

Even now, like a third-rate villain, he fell for my provocation.

He won’t even know if I can use wind archery or not.

Therefore, the first attack is a winning strategy for me.

Rather, if you go to a long battle, you cannot guarantee victory by the stat gap.

Currently, there is only one skill that I can use at level 1 of wind archery.

———————————————————

▶[1st Herbivorous Windswept] (Active) (General Skill)

Rapid Fire – Shoots quickly as the wind blows

Continuous Fire – Fires continuously like a whisper in the wind

Howitzer – Shoots unpredictably like a meandering wind

[*Due to the contract with Ariel, the wind energy consumed decreases, and the damage increases dramatically.]

———————————————————

[Current Wind Energy: 100/100]

———————————————————

‘Windsal.’

Three types of optional techniques consisting of rapid fire, continuous fire, and howitzer, which are the basics of wind archery…

There’s nothing to choose.

I registered all three.

– Tiling!

– Tiling!

– Tiling!

———————————————————

▶Currently registered skills

[Passive] – Hermit

[General Skill 1] – 1 set of wind chimes – Rapid fire

[General Technique 2] – 1 style wind chime – Howitzer

[General Skill 3] – 1 set wind chime – Continuous fire

[Ultimate Skill] – Magicalization

———————————————————

In magic, chanting is a good deed.

This is the basic principle of fantasy, and it is, of course, an absolute requirement to be observed.

But in games it’s different.

Whether I play a wizard, a knight, an archer…

It’s just that the sense of pressing a skill on the skill set with the keyboard is so simple and clear.

All of a sudden, the start count had 3 seconds left.

-three.

First, the wind began to sway around me.

With the contract with the Spirit King, the wind energy gathered on its own, so there was no problem.

-two.

And the energy of this spirit was engulfed in my hand like a whirlwind.

– Huh oh oh…

-one.

A crossbow is definitely a weapon that is fired one by one with a trigger with a string held on a fixed frame.

However, it seemed that only my hands could defy this absolute principle in this place.

In other words, I’m just using the rapid-fire canceller, abbreviated and compressed once again.

-start!

That’s really all it is.

-Phoebebibibibibibibibibibibibibibibit!!!

With the signal to start the duel,

At the end of a crossbow, maybe in my hands

Dozens of wind stalks fell in an instant.
