The Eternal Debauchery's

a win?

When Katherine fainted, the winner of the duel was decided.

Principal Evelyn appeared beside Katherine and checked her condition. He heaved a sigh of relief as he confirmed that Katherine had only suffered from depletion of mana.

Evelyn raised her voice and announced the results.

“The winner is Christine!”

Once again, the arena erupted with cheers.

The upperclassmen cheered excitedly. This victory returned the pride of the upperclassmen who had lost when Arami lost to Katherine.

Moreover, Christine looked completely unharmed. The only change since he entered the arena was that his clothes were slightly disheveled. Even her hair was perfect, as if she had not fought fiercely just now and was instead at a tea party.

Principal Evelyn stuffed the mana potion into Katherine's mouth and called out a stretcher to send her away. He then looked to our side and spoke.

"Send the next guy."

Dina nodded.

He looked around while thinking about who to send.

But before he could make up his mind, someone took a step forward and offered themselves up.

"president, let me go."

It was a man, the vice leader of the student guards, Hugo.

Hugo was an ordinary young man who entered the institute at the same time as Katherine. He was extremely talented and managed to reach the fifth layer in just his second year.

However, Dina frowned as she stepped forward.

"Hugo, are you sure?"

He nodded firmly. "Yes, I must defeat him to avenge the leader!"

The wrinkle on Dina's forehead deepened. He thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Sorry, you can't go."

"B-But!"

“You've just been in the fifth layer, Hugo.” Dina explained calmly. “Your strength is one layer below that Christine. Do you think you can win? ”

Hugo bit his lips and looked down.

At that moment, I laughed. "Sister, let him go."

"Hmm? Klaus, why?" Dina was surprised and looked at me doubtfully.

I smile. “Actually, Hugo has a chance. If I'm not mistaken, Christine has less than twenty percent of where she's left. Katherine's final attack was not something Christine could easily resist. Although he looked unharmed, the mana he used to defend against the attack was shocking.”

Dina speechless. He thought for a moment and realized that my words were right.

Sighing, he looked at Hugo and hesitated.

In the end, he sighed and waved his hand.

“OK, gone. But careful. Focus on frictional combat. After where Christine runs out, victory will be ours.”

"i understand." Hugo nodded seriously. "Don't worry, I won't betray your expectations."

He then took his axe off the ground and jumped onto the stage.

When Christine saw him, she smiled.

“How good, the fifth layer of student guards. Are you here to avenge your leader?"

Hugo looked at her sharply and closed his eyes to concentrate.

Outside the arena, Dina furrowed her words with concern and looked at me. "Do you really think he can win?"

"Huh? You look so sure..” Dina looked at me suspiciously. “Why do you think so?”

I smile. “Is it unclear? He wants to impress his crush.”

Dina dumbfounded. He then looked towards the hospital. “... Katherine?”

I smile. “... He will do his best to beat Christine to impress her. Maybe after the win, he plans to express his feelings.”

Dina finally understood. “So that's the reason. You're very observant, Claus.”

I just smiled and did not deny it.

Returning to the arena, headmaster Evelyn looked at both sides before raising her hand.

"Ready? get started!"

On the signal, the fight begins.

Hugo is moving. He stomped the ground and charged towards Christine. At the same time, he swung his axe and created a mana wave that flew towards him.

Christine calmly created a mana barrier and stopped the slash. Just like the last fight, he took advantage of the time the barrier had gained to cast a spell.

However, the spell he used this time was not the strongest one (Meteor Rain).

After using too much mana in the last fight, he chose a cheaper spell, (fire spear).

Five fire spears appeared behind him and flew towards Hugo, sealing his escape path. Hugo replied by swinging his axe. The axe attack clashed with the fire spear, which exploded upon contact.

Hugo's tense. He moved his axe in a circular shape and created a mana shield to protect himself from the explosion.

It was an intermediate battle technique taught at the institute. (Reflection Attack)!

The blast hit the shield, but Hugo was unharmed. He attacked and brandished his axe to Christine's shoulder, but was stopped by a magic circle that appeared in front of her.

Christine retaliated creating dozens of wind blades around her that cut towards her opponent. Fortunately, Hugo was ready. He instantly retreated once his attack failed to break through Christine's defenses. He then dodged Christine's attack and charged forward again.

Christine frowned. He instantly realized Hugo's goal. He intended to force her to use her spell to exhaust the rest of her magic power.

It was a simple, but very effective strategy. Christine must use a spell to defeat Hugo, but every spell she uses means less mana left in her core.

Moreover, he had to avoid the use of powerful spells. If he used a powerful spell and failed, the remaining mana would not be enough to continue the fight.

So, he had to keep a huge spell for the decisive moment.

The battle continues like that. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of fruitless movements.

Christine started to panic. His mana reserves were rapidly decreasing. Currently, he had at most ten percent of the total mana available.

Hugo is not much better. Avoiding and defending against a peak attack of a sixth layer mage was extremely difficult, and sometimes he could not survive in time. Therefore, he was panting and his body was covered in scratches.

But even though she seemed much more pitiful, the situation was much better than Christine's.

Dina breathed a sigh of relief. He held his chest and smiled. “It looks like we will win this one.”

I didn't answer. Instead, I looked at the battle and frowned.

At that moment, Christine finally showed a gap.

Hugo did not hesitate when he saw it. He took advantage of this opportunity and directly pounced forward.

In an instant, his axe was filled with a dazzling light. He used most of the mana in this attack.

"The Axe Technique, (Opening the World)!"

With a shout, Hugo swung his axe down.

The next instant, the entire arena shook.
