Chapter 75: A Prancing Clown

"Hahahaha! Bernard! This is your chance! I believe the instructors will reward you if you manage to kill this guy and humiliate Colzen Academy!"

"Yeah! Hahahaha! Bernard, make sure to humiliate this guy before ending his life!"

The other companion students of Shadowglade Academy cheered for their schoolmate, Bernard, with excited smiles on their faces. In their minds, a first-year student accepting a life-and-death duel against a second-year student was a purely stupid decision.

They didn't doubt in their minds that Bernard would end this substitute representative's life and humiliate Colzen Academy. Who knows? They might even get a few rewards for inciting this duel.

Bernard smiled confidently as he lazily got into his battle stance. He didn't think that Shye could threaten him at all.

On the other hand, Shye sneered inwardly. He also didn't think that this Bernard guy could pose a threat to him. He didn't even think that he needed to reveal his dual wielding against this guy.

Meanwhile, the professional adventurers who were at least diamond-ranked and above watched the duel with interest.

Duels to the death were uncommon among top-tier adventurers since all of them focused on their quests while ignoring those from other adventurer guilds most of the time. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

In addition to this, top-tier adventurers didn't want to ruin their reputations by having a duel to the death inside the city so they preferred fighting outside and that's why they watched Shye and Bernard's duel with intrigue.

After a few more seconds, the duel to the death finally began.

Bernard was also a warrior like Shye so their duel was pretty straightforward and they charged straight at each other, however, they had different intentions.

Shye wanted to probe his opponent but Bernard directly wanted to overwhelm Shye with raw strength even though he didn't know how strong Shye was.

As a result, Shye easily managed to pull back his attack and dodge Bernard's full-powered blow. Then, after dodging Bernard's excessively wide slash, Shye managed to land a deep cut on Bernard's right leg.

In a duel to the death, being wounded in the leg is fatal since it would be hard for the wounded person to move around and dodge which means Bernard was now a fish on the chopping board.

"STOP!!"

"BERNARD!!"

The other students from Shadowglade Academy charged forward to try and save their schoolmate but they were too slow.

Fortunately for Bernard, just when Shye's greatsword almost cut him in half, an instructor from Shadowglade Academy appeared and deflected his killing blow.

*CLANG*

Shye managed to hold on to his sword but he was sent sliding a few meters back.

"How ruthless! Still so young but already so merciless! The world should get rid of scourges like you to prevent future problems!"

The instructor from Shadowglades Academy charged toward Shye to kill him on the spot when suddenly, he was sent flying by an instructor from Colzen Academy.

"Instructor Fienna!"

Shye exclaimed with a slight smile on his face.

He was racking his brains to look for a way out of this sticky situation but luckily, Instructor Fienna not only saved him on time, but she even humiliated the other academy's instructor who was forced to retreat after recognizing her.

"Tch! Fienna Evans! It's always you! You better pray that our academies don't get matched up! Our current generation of representatives will surely destroy yours like always!"

The other instructor threatened before hastily leaving the area together with the other companion students.

"Hmmph! Blabber all you want, our current generation is as equally talented as our previous golden generation, it's you guys who should pray that our two academies don't get matched up."

Instructor Fienna muttered to herself as she watched the Shadowglade Academy group leave the area like defeated dogs.
