11 – Duel – 4

The concept of fighting confidently to restore one’s honor after it has been tarnished due to a duel, personal attacks, slander, or evil conduct by the opponent.

Literally, if an opponent has tarnished one’s honor, one challenges one to a duel to restore that honor.

And while Norrington Academy, which trains wizards and nobles, approved duels, it did not allow indiscriminate duels.

To nobles, honor meant the heart, and in this era, it was common to risk one’s life for one’s family.

If talented people in a growing kingdom were to lose their lives due to minor troubles, there was no need to spend a lot of money to build an academy.

Therefore, the kingdom and academy faculty approved duels but managed them strictly.

If you want to duel, get approval from the professors in charge in advance.

There is no life or death in a duel, only life or death.

During a duel, if it is determined that there is a threat to one’s life, the management professor can immediately stop the duel.

Avoid gossiping about the outcome of the duel.

The Academy is not responsible for any disadvantages that may arise if the above matters are violated.

Politics and power, era and status.

The academy where everything is complicated, the reaction following the duel.

The academy approved students’ duels, but did not take responsibility for those who broke the rules.

“I will approve the duel, but…are you really okay with it?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“The opponent is Artur.”

“I know that too.”

“This is it… I can’t help it. I’m sure I’ll win while I’m at it.”

” Thank you professor. “

Grumble, thump.

James came out of the professor’s room.

He had just received approval to duel from his personal professor.

James had been planning to ask the professor all day to approve the famously difficult duel.

He had a strong will to get approval for a duel, even if it meant kneeling if necessary.

However, the professor in charge easily gave James approval for the duel.

It was true that I attended the academy faithfully and showed a good image to my dedicated professor.

James, who probably didn’t expect approval for the duel to be approved so easily, walked toward the duel arena with a pleasant smile on his face.

Soon the duel with Harvey, whom he hates so much, will begin.

Adrenaline began to surge in James as he thought about his victory in his mind and Harvey crying and screaming at his feet.

Duel, the noblest fight to restore honor.

The beginning of the semester, the day of the entrance ceremony.

James suffered an insult to his family and the loss of his father’s honor at the hands of Harvey Artur.

Although the Argon family is said to be a barren family in the northern mountain range, no one ignores the Argon family.

Rather, it was because they were able to control the number of monsters, and because their family took on the menial tasks that no one else did.

Occasionally, if there was an impure person who insulted the Argon family, they would crush the other person through a duel.

The rough land, monsters that threaten human lives, and the rigorous training to become a knight turned James into a man before he was a knight.

We value honor and save human lives.

From noble mtl dot com

That is the Argon family’s feat and honorable cause.

But Harvey insulted it all.

In the process of subduing monsters, his father lost one of his arms and became one-armed.

I thought of my proud father somewhere in the barren land overflowing with monsters.

“Become a proud knight and return to your family.”

Dignity, solemnity, honor.

However, the father’s voice mixed with concern, love, and affection.

Wow.

Harvey insulted his father, whom he respected the most in the world.

Today, as per the tradition of the Argon family, I will crush Harvey for insulting him and my father.

Bye.

James takes out his beloved sword and slowly walks towards the battlefield.

At the duel arena, students who had already gathered after hearing the rumor were waiting.

Several professors attended, and numerous students rushed to see James’ duel.

James, who educates the idiot Harvey.

How could I bear it?

“Cheer up James!”

“Harvey, don’t lose to that bastard! I’m rooting for you!”

“Oppa, you’re cool!!!”

“I bet on you!!! If you lose, I’ll kill you!”

“Crazy guys.”

He raised his left hand and waved at the onlookers, then lightly cursed.

Of course, it wasn’t a curse that came from the heart, it was just because I was embarrassed by my friends’ support.

Wow!!!

James slowly moved his body while receiving numerous cheers.

Honor will be restored, villains will be punished.

Yellow, the reserve knight took steps to regain his honor.

*******************

“The preparations are roughly finished like this.”

Tuk-tuk.

“My legs are no problem.”

My leg, which had become sore the day before yesterday, has now recovered to the point where it can function properly.

In the first place, the injury was not due to trauma, but the price was paid due to the reaction of the curse.

After some time, the body returns to its proper function.

The headdress was securely hung around the neck, and the preparations for the ceremony were roughly completed.

Since I’m the type of person who can’t live without losing, I’ve also prepared a new curse.

You’ll probably be able to endure it to some extent.

I’m about to finish getting ready and go upstairs.

” hey. “

Suddenly, someone who shouldn’t be there appeared in front of me.

“What were you thinking when you accepted the duel? Why did you always appoint a proxy to duel?”

Zera, a blind swordsman who became famous across the continent.

But now, she is a confident young lady who accepts the light with both eyes intact.

“It’s my heart.”

“If you say that, I don’t have anything to say…”

“If there’s nothing more to see, I’ll just head up here.”

The moment I passed Zera and was about to go up to the duel arena.

“What on earth is your purpose?”

Suddenly, Zera’s voice penetrated my ears.

Purpose, purpose.

I do know that the purpose Zera is talking about and the purpose I am pursuing are on a completely different line.

Saint John, it’s just survival.

A terrible struggle to survive in this damn world.

” well. “

I also felt the urge to share these feelings with someone.

In a world where the protagonist is biased, wouldn’t I be able to live a little more comfortably if I were on Orphée’s side? A vague thought.

But that’s not the case.

You may not have known me before, but now I am Harvey Artur, a third-rate villain who can never be understood.

You shouldn’t expect anyone to understand.

I try to ignore the look in Zera’s eyes that is waiting for an answer.

“Let’s just go up.”

” for a moment..! “

Ignoring Zera who was trying to say something, I slowly climbed up onto the platform.

Even though the sun is slowly starting to set, the sun seems to prove that it is still alive.

Evidence of its health was scattered on the platform.

It was a damn bright light.

***********

A duel arena where numerous spectators gathered.

Heat, joy, cheering.

A picturesque landscape, a mixture of countless emotions and actions, surrounded James and Harvey.

Some students even debated over who would win.

Some students engaged in small gambling activities.

And some students came to the duel just for fun.

Naturally, the reason why so many students gathered in one place was the presence of Harvey Artur.

The family’s bastard, the academy’s troublemaker, and the bad-tempered bully.

Harvey was a famous figure at the Academy, with many words to describe him, many in a bad sense.

Wow!!!!

As the two people came up to the stage, the heat of the storm began to immediately surround the duel arena.

Tap, tap, tap.

James slowly walks towards Harvey.

James must have been used to this situation, as he accepted the cheers with his whole body and waved his hands at the audience.

“Harvey, can you hear me?”

“…”

“They are all hoping for your downfall. It can be seen as proof of how messed up your life has been.”

James looks at Harvey with a teasing expression.

There was a hint of playfulness in his words, but his tone was extremely serious.

“Are you Sam who won’t say anything until the end? Where did that snout that you excitedly shake off before go?”

“You talk a lot.”

“Talking? That’s right, I guess I’m the kind of person who talks a lot.”

“If you know, just shut up.”

“For that reason, someone who dreams of becoming a knight shouldn’t talk so much.”

“Okay, let’s stop chatting and get ready quickly.”

When the supervisor to conduct the duel burst in, James clicked his tongue in disappointment and returned to his seat.

“The duel will proceed lively. If the duel is judged to be dangerous, it will be stopped immediately.”

He put a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Harvey and James alternately.

The supervisor began to speak.

“Originally, you would have to swear, but…well, that’s a vestige of the old times, so let’s just skip it.”

Crack.

The supervisor quickly smokes a cigarette and slowly walks back.

“So that we can duel fairly.”

Wow!!

The shouting gets louder.

The supervisor’s words and actions announce the start of the duel, and James and Harvey look at each other intensely.

” start!!! “

Finally, the supervisor gave permission to start the duel.

“Die!!! Harvey!!”

James begins to run towards Harvey, clenching his beloved sword with all his might.

In order to defeat Harvey, who was almost untalented in both sword and magic, with one blow.

To bring down Harvey’s reputation for insulting him and his father’s honor.

And for the family.

nettle liquid.

A wind cutting through the air, a trembling plosive sound at the same time.

The lingering scent of a body trained through harsh training and mana training methods instantly reached Harvey.

It takes 3 seconds to get here.

When Harvey showed no reaction even though he got close, James secretly predicted victory.

The moment I raised my sword and was about to cut Harvey’s body.

“Foot (發).”

Cooung.

James’ new brother slowly fell toward the floor.

And at the same time.

An eerily dark silence covered the duel arena.
