As an institute created primarily to teach magic and the art of fighting, it was normal for duels to be allowed.
The institution prohibits fights between students, but if two students have a disagreement, they can talk to a teacher and ask for a duel. If the teacher agreed, the duel would be conducted in the institute arena and the teacher would supervise the duel to ensure no one was dead or seriously injured.
The noble students proposed a duel against Joseph and Rose, and they accepted it. Of course, Rose and Joseph could not fight all the nobles alone, so the two nobles would represent the group and face them.
What was surprising was Alan's request for a duel.
He says that the way OSIS and the student guards treat his subordinates is excessive, and he asks for a duel to seek justice for them.
Everyone knew that it was just an excuse to take revenge for the humiliation he had suffered earlier, but no one mentioned it.
Of course, neither Katherine nor the haughty Dina refused the duel. Instead, the two seemed eager to fight.
So we moved to the arena.
The information about the duel spread very quickly, probably because the noble students spread it on purpose. But none of us care. In fact, with the exception of Joseph, and perhaps Iris, everyone here was confident of getting the win.
When we reached the arena, the crowd of students were already sitting in the stands.
Joseph was a little pale. He was not sure that he could win, but he would not hide like a coward now that he was challenged to a duel. Even if he lost, he would fight proudly.
At that moment, the headmaster looked towards us.
"Well, who's gonna go first?" She asked.
The nobles looked at each other and two of them stepped forward.
"We want to fight first, principal."
Evelyn looked at them and nodded. "Alright, Rose, Joseph, go ahead."
Joseph and Rose nodded. Contrary to Joseph, Rose was very excited. He was looking forward to fighting two powerful enemies. For him, this duel was an opportunity to improve his abilities.
When the two groups were in front of her, Evelyn frowned and asked something.
"How are you going to compete?"
“Two opponents two.” The nobles immediately said. “If they lose, they have to apologize publicly, and if we lose, we will apologize.”
Evelyn looked at Joseph and Rose to ask for their opinion. They nodded after thinking for a while.
"Very good." He's nodding. “You all know the rules. Not killing and not injuring the opponent. If I see one of you trying to harm your opponent maliciously, I will intervene, and believe me, you will not like it. Also, I hope today's conflict ends here. If I find out that one of you is seeking revenge after a duel, you will have a very serious chat with my fist! Evelyn directed her gaze at the two nobles when she said so. He was afraid that the nobles would try underhanded ways to hurt his students if they were defeated.
The nobles nodded in panic with pale faces.
"All right then. I wish you all luck. Now, get ready for the fight.”
""""Yes, the principal!"""
The arena was a place specially prepared for duels between students and even teachers. It had a capacity of five thousand spectators, and today it was almost full. Students and teachers rushed here to watch the duel after they heard that the three committees were participating.
A magic barrier surrounded the arena, protecting the audience from wild attacks. That barrier could stop any attacks under the eighth layer.
Joseph and Rose stood on the side of the field, and two nobles on the other side. For the record, the two royals were named Freddy and Jason. Unfortunately, they are not as scary as their names.
Both were fourth year students, and Joseph was a fifth year student. Judging from that, Rose was greatly harmed. After all, he's just a freshman.
I have a lot of confidence in Rose. After all, the hero should have grown up after defeating all the obstacles in his path. A four or five-year difference was nothing in front of people like him.
When the two teams were ready, headmaster Evelyn floated to the middle of the arena and looked at them.
"Are you ready?"
Both teams nodded.
“Alright, then start!”
When the headmaster finished speaking, one of the nobles cast a spell.
Fire magic, (Rain of Fire)!
A magic circle appeared in the sky and let out a rain of fire that attacked Joseph and Rose. The fire spell attacked the couple indiscriminately, aiming to eliminate them in a single blow.
Moreover, the other nobles unsheathed swords and attacked Joseph and Rose with the intent to attack if they survived the hail of fire. It was clear that although they were confident, they did not underestimate the enemy.
The coordination between the two fifth-tier nobles was perfect. It was clear that they were experienced in fighting together. They deserve to be fourth year students.
But as I expected, they underestimated the hero.
Suddenly, a flash of sword light illuminated the arena.
The rain of fire became two, and the flame was extinguished. The sword intent hidden in the sword light was so overwhelming that it seemed to consume everything.
Then, Rose appeared in front of the noble wielding a sword.
His sword curved in the air before he passed through it. He then paused for a while before appearing in front of the witch.
Pointing out his sword, he cut through everything in front of him. The flame shield, the spell the witch was preparing, and the defensive cloak she was wearing. His sword sliced through the air and cut it.
Then, he sheathed his sword and turned around.
The two nobles opened their eyes in fear. They stood on the spot as frozen statues, completely stunned.
They can't understand what's going on. In fact, most of the people observing the fight were unable to understand what was happening.
However, those who understood could not hide the seriousness and astonishment on their faces.
Only when Rose returned to her side of the field did the nobles move.
And instantly, blood spurted out from their bodies.
Rose had cut their tendons in an instant, clean, and without soiling her sword. The fight ended after just two blows of his sword.
I can't resist******admiration. Unexpectedly, this girl had broken through to the sixth layer.
