Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 57 Arrogance

   pat.

  The metal triangle badge hit the floor with a crisp sound.

   "Barney!"

   Flower frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

"grown ups."

  Barney didn't look back, just stared at Colin and continued,

   "According to the rules of the school, when members of the same level encounter irreconcilable conflicts, they can throw away their badges and have a duel regardless of life and death, right?"

   He paused, then said in a resentful tone:

   "I'm going to wash away my shame, Lord Flower!"

  Flower's face gradually turned cold,

   How could he not know what Barney was planning, or just relying on his superior strength to retaliate against Colin with a duel.

   "I said, enough." He was expressionless, his tone soothing but like a cold winter wind, "Barney."

   "Lord Flower!" Barney couldn't help turning around and shouted, "I just want to wash away the shame I've received! Please agree!"

   Not only Flower this time, but everyone around him couldn't help frowning.

   "It was not Colin that brought you shame, but your own blind arrogance." Flower held back his impatience.

  Barney obviously still doesn't think it's his fault...

   In fact, if Barney has such a powerful position as him, there is nothing wrong with such an idea... What is wrong is Colin who did not obey his orders.

   But alas… Barney didn’t.

   His idea is arrogance... Blind, arrogance that doesn't match his own strength...

   "Barney, I'll only say one last time, go back to the wizard to be punished..."

   "But...!" Barney looked back at Flower, his already thin and sunken face became more and more distorted, and his well-kept mustache was now like a messy weed.

'why! ’

  'Why are all facing Colin! ’

  ‘It’s because he didn’t listen to my orders that this happened, didn’t he! ? ’

   He looked around, but all he saw was ridicule, ridicule, and indifference.

   He was breathing heavily, struggling to squeeze a few words out of his teeth: "I see, Flower Court..."

   "I accept your duel."

   At this moment, a warm and calm voice came.

   He raised his head and looked at Colin not far ahead in amazement.

  The hall suddenly fell silent.

   All eyes were on Colin.

  The boy's face was calm, he calmly took off the silver triangle badge on his chest, and threw it forward.

  ...Barney's villainous style really makes him sick...to wash away the shame, hehe! It seems that he who did not obey the order is the wrong person...

   But why should I listen?

   pat.

The    badge fell on the floor, bounced, and finally rolled down on the wood-grained floor next to the triangular badge Barney had removed.

  Flower looked up at Colin, frowned, and said nothing.

   The next second, he slowly got up from the reclining chair, walked past Barney and Colin, and walked towards the door, an impatient voice drifted into the hall.

   "Whatever you want, duel if you want... Remember to record it with a photo crystal..."

   crunch.

   The door of the inspection office was pushed open, and Flower left.

   And as soon as his huge body walked away, the sun scrambled to break in through the open door.

  Barney watched Colin bathed in the sun, and his heart was swept away by ecstasy.

   He didn't expect that when he was about to give up, Colin would take the initiative to agree, and for a while he couldn't restrain his excitement.

   He even wanted to go against the principles of wizards, thank the gods…!

   Even under the backlight, Colin's face shrouded in dark shadows,

   In his view, it is undoubtedly implying that the boy in front of him is about to die...

   and the victor who killed him—

   is definitely himself.

  Barney's twisted expression suddenly calmed down.

   His acerbic face tried to make a solemn expression, raised his hand and stumbled and gave an unknown noble salute.

   But before he could prepare the emotions in his heart, he heard Colin calmly urged:

   "Where to fight, time is precious."

  “?!”

  Barney had originally disagreed, calmed down, and his face suddenly twisted. After a while, he suppressed his anger and continued to perform the noble ceremony.

   After thinking for a moment, he said:

   "The seaside in the east of the city is beautiful and suitable for burying you."

   He wanted to choose a place to remember for this duel.

   Colin frowned.

   He looked at Barney in front of him, sweaty and disheveled, looking extremely embarrassed, and even a little weird.

   Since he said he accepted the duel just now, Barney has become like this, seems to be immersed in an inexplicable emotion.

   But he just wanted to quickly get rid of the jumping clown in front of him.

   "No need." Colin shook his head, "I think the basement of the Inspection Office is fine."

   You must know that this is in the west of the city, and the seaside in the east of the city is at least three hours' drive away from here. How can he waste so much time on this matter.

   "You are only an intermediate apprentice who has just advanced to the advanced level, where did you get the confidence to talk to me like this?!"

  Barney finally couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't maintain the demeanor on his face, he questioned.

   "Just advanced?" The apprentices who were still watching were also a little surprised.

   "Regana, I don't remember you working the same day as Colin... Barney said he just advanced, is that true?"

  Regana nodded to the friend next to her, and said lightly, "Let's go, there's nothing to see, and I didn't bring a photo crystal."

   She took her friend and turned away.

  After Flower left, the apprentices present left one after another, except for a few who brought photo crystals and planned to make some money later.

   Not many people are interested in spending their time in a duel that has nothing to do with them.

   After Regana left with her friends, a few more people left.

   Finally, apart from the two Colin, there are only three male apprentices left.

  Barney looked at Colin's calm face, gritted his teeth, and said:

   "Since you're in such a hurry to die, that's fine! Go to the basement now."

   Colin nodded nonchalantly.

   He had no sympathy for Barney at all.

   In his opinion, Barney was just an angry villain.

   The group came to the basement.

  The bright crystals inlaid on the walls illuminate the entire basement like daylight.

   "One person and two magic stones." The remaining three gathered together to discuss for a while, and said to the two of Colin.

   "Okay!" Barney spoke first.

   Colin nodded indifferently.

   This person has two magic stones, which is a reward for them to use the photo crystal to record the complete battle scene.

The   Lapp School has strict rules for duels.

   First of all, duels can only be established between members of the same level, and intermediate wizard apprentices can only duel with intermediate wizard apprentices.

   Secondly, from the moment the badge is dropped, it means that only one side will survive the duel... This is about the dignity between wizards!

   In addition, the establishment of a duel requires not only the consent of both parties, but also the consent of at least one higher-level school member.

  Finally, during the battle, either there are higher-level wizards in the spectators, or at least two photo crystals need to be used to completely record the whole process of the battle.

   And Flower's last words apparently agreed with their duel, but also told them not to watch the battle.

   That's why the last three wizards stayed.

  OM—

The    photo crystals were successively inspired by the three spectators, who recorded the battle from three different angles.

   Stepping on the cold slate in the basement, the two of Colin stood at both ends.

  The air was inexplicably dignified.

  The two looked at each other, and Barney gave Colin a grin.

  Be the first to do it!

   A flash of white light flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

   He stared at Colin, grinning as he planned.

   First adaptive mimicry, then approached with light footsteps, and finally struck with a shadow spike…

   He seemed to have seen Colin fall in a pool of blood!

  scoff! laugh! laugh!

   But at this moment, there were several slight noises in the air.

   Immediately after that, Barney spit out a mouthful of blood, and his figure gradually emerged ten meters in front of Colin.

   Looking at the blown holes in his chest and the right side of his lower abdomen, and feeling the hard cone bullets bouncing and piercing erratically in his body, causing severe pain, Barney looked in disbelief.

   But soon, his eyes darkened,

   fell heavily to the ground.
