THE RISE OF THE KNIGHTS OF SINNERS

#30# DUEL 2 BEST STUDENTS

" Hey haughty princess, how about you lick my shoes? " an alchemist academy student told Licia in the academy toilet.

Earlier when the bell came home rang, Licia was pulled into the toilet by some third-year alchemist academy students. They doused Licia with dirty water and kicked her body. The girl could not fight back to keep her promise to her mother and grandfather.

" How dare you say that! Go while I still forgive your lives! " squeezer Licia. Clearly the bluff was precisely the laughingstock of his bullies.

" Haha... Forgive our lives? Hey princess, you know, your dad used to tell us all to lick his shoes because we failed to meet the tax target! Now wouldn't it be natural for me to return your father's treatment? "

Licia fell silent. He did not expect his father to do such a thing. " No-no way my dad did it! "

" You think I'm lying? Ask all students who get scholarships here! " reply one of the girls while kicking Licia's stomach.

Licia can't be cut out. He would not accept the physical attack. " Pardon me! I apologize for my father's behavior to you! "

" I'm sorry? Of course we will forgive if you want to lick our shoes hihi. "one of the girls put his foot on Licia.

Licia felt so despicable hearing that. But how else, his father used to do the same thing and now he has to make amends for his father. The girl gently pulled the foot of one of the schoolgirls and began to bring her lips closer to the student's shoes.

" Stop that!  " said Leo who suddenly opened the toilet door.

" You're Mr. Reo Miss Thalia's sister? " shock one of the schoolgirls.

" I'm sorry to interrupt your party. My brother told me to bring the rotten princess, "

Some of the students started to panic. They were afraid that Leo would report this incident to the head of the academy who could get them all expelled.

" Look down, I will not report this and will pretend not to see it, " continued Leo who was aware of the bullies' anxiety.

" Thank you, Mr. Reo. Then we go first! " the bullies were relieved and satisfied. They ran out of the toilet while cursing at Licia.

" Go to the dorm! My brother is waiting for you there! " cold Leo said and left Licia in the toilet.

Licia was silent for a moment. He tried to fix the fake mask on his face so he could cheer up again when he came out of the toilet. A sad irony for the princess.

...***...

Licia arrived at Thalia's room immediately knocking on her door.

...Geck... Toks......

" Who is that? " said Thalia with a voice that sounded like a new person waking up.

" I'm Licia, "

" What's going on this afternoon to my room? "

" Your sister said you wanted to see me, "

" go inside! I didn't lock the door, "Thalia let Licia into the room. He was surprised to see Licia's wet uniform plus her arms and legs had multiple bruises.

" Innroduced again? " ask Thalia.

Licia stood beside the door then nodded her head.

Thalia got out of bed and opened a small drawer on her desk. " Hhh... Sit on the bed, I'll get you some medicine, "

Licia herself obeyed Thalia's orders. In his half-wet shirt he sat on the bed.

Thalia directly applied the medicine to remove Licia's injuries then lent her uniform.

" Thank you Thalia, "

" Tumben once you thank me, "

" Forgetit! Then what business did you call me? "

" ha? From this morning I slept and did not tell anyone to call you, "Thalia seemed confused because she had been sleeping in bed all day.

" But Leo said you called me, "Licia was confused by Thalia's statement.

Thalia smiled and then lay back on her bed. " Are you unconscious? He actually helped you out of those bullies. I told you, didn't I? He's a man who likes to lie when his nets are right, "

Licia began to understand what Thalia meant. He himself was a little happy and relieved that Leo did not really hate him and still noticed him.

" Do I have to thank your sister? "

" Is so. I will forget this incident. "

"  Go back to your room. Tomorrow's holiday and tonight's gonna be a lot of students dating. You better get ready to date Orka tonight, "

" You're not dating either? "

" My fiancee is busy with her trials. And I still want to rest. Last night was very tiring because the officials were willing to hold a meeting of nobles for up to 16 hours. "

" Aren't you sleeping more than enough? It would be nice for you to exercise a little so that the fat on your chest does not spread throughout the body. "split Licia in a mocking tone.

Thalia was obviously hooked. He glanced at Licia sharply while grinding his teeth. " Haha... Also true! It seemed like the fighting arena was empty at the moment. All right, Licia, I'll be with you this time! Wait for me in the arena! "

" It was with pleasure. "reply with a smile Licia then left Thalia's room.

The lazy Thalia was suddenly excited. He immediately put on his battle armor and rushed towards the arena.

The news of Licia and Thalia's duel instantly spread throughout the entire academy of knights and alchemists. The students flocked towards the arena to see the fight of the 2 strongest schoolgirls in the academy. Even Leo and the Yurei troops did not want to miss because this was the first time for them to witness the serious duel of Thalia and Licia.

...***...

" It's been a season that we didn't have a duel here, right? " ask Licia. He wore a sparkling white battle suit like the one once used against Leo.

Thalia pulled out 2 daggers and prepared the horses. " Yes... Youre right. I happen to want to try my new weapon, "

Licia drew her sword and directly charged towards Thalia without a word. The strike accompanied by fire-slash magic was successfully held by Thalia with earth wall magic. Oh yes, Thalia herself was an emperor level earth element magic user but she was a close combat type.

Thalia quickly lunged back at Licia. The strike successfully stopped Licia but she was still able to bounce back and strike back.

Licia floated her sword slashes while Thalia could hold back with her 2 daggers. They fought each other from close range. Shots of fire, pointy lands that come out of the earth, they often appear to defeat each other.

They jumped, lunged, clashed with weapons, and hit each other to make them both equally injured. In this fight Thalia was clearly more superior because she had better mobility than Licia. Plus Thalia is good at using physical strengthening magic which makes her able to move faster.

Sure enough, Thalia started dancing with her 2 daggers. He attacks Licia from all directions so quickly that Licia herself does not know where Thalia's next attack will be.

The skill that Thalia showed made the entire arena cheer to call out her name. They all supported Thalia and mocked Licia.

Licia was getting hot hearing the scolding of the audience. He coated his sword with fire then cast a gigantic fire ring magic. Thalia who was about to attack had to stop. He jumped away from the fire magic then threw one of his daggers at Licia.

Licia swiftly repelled the dagger that was thrown towards her. But she was struck by Thalia who suddenly grasped the dagger that Licia had already dodged. Thalia kicks Licia even though her kick can be held back.

Licia jumped back away from Thalia. He took out his magic fire wings. But unfortunately, Thalia already knew the plan. He moved quickly closer to Licia and threw her 2 daggers.

It was easy for Licia to dodge, but who would have thought again and again Thalia was suddenly behind her carrying the 2 daggers again. Thalia coated her 2 blades with magic then slashed through Licia's wings. Not until there, Thalia also kicked Licia until thrown a few meters.

...Sriing...!...

" I won again, " said Thalia who was panting while pointing one of the daggers at Licia's neck.

" It seems like the distance between the two of us is getting, " Licia said.

" Not really. Our distance is so close that you never use your brain when fighting, "reply Thalia as she flicked Licia's forehead.

" Ouch! " weep Licia stroking her forehead.

Thalia smiled and kept her daggers back. " Your opponent is a close combat type but instead you still use long-range magic when you should strengthen yourself with physical strengthening magic. In addition, facing the type of fighter that relies on speed, you only need to rely on instinct. "

" How can you be that strong to lose to Leo? "

" Because he fights using the brain. I've fought dozens of times with him and only got one draw. Other defeat. Her ingenuity playing magic can get me cornered many times. Then I'll go first. See you next time. " Thalia walked out of the arena followed by the students who also began to disperse.

While Licia was still thinking about Thalia's words. He still could not believe his rival had lost dozens of times against Leo.

" Licia's amazing match, "sounds a man's voice from one of the audience seats.

Licia tried to find the figure of the owner of the voice. He saw Orka standing up and applauded him.

" Orka." said Licia while waving her hand.

" I'll wait tonight in the capital of Licia! " reply Orka returned the wave of the hand.

" Hmh! I must have come on time! See you tonight! " Licia rushed out of the arena and returned to the dormitory because tonight she had a date with Orka.
