After Theo's group entered the training arena, the students in the stands voiced various opinions.
Piel and Neike only had 4 injured, but can Theo do the same?
Well... Even if Theo has been doing well lately, he can't match Piel and Neike. Theo's a brainy character, right? Will his strategy work against Oliver? Oliver is a monster who entered the top 100 rankings of the continent at 23, you know?
I also think it won't work on Oliver. Didnt I read in the knights journal that Oliver received one-on-one strategy training from the master of the Ataraxia guild?
"Over or under four injuries for Theo's group, anyone want to bet? Over 50 have already joined!RêAd lateSt chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only
What are the odds?
Lets see... 15.57 times if you bet on under!
That would be a killer reverse bet. But who bet on under? And what happens if exactly four people get injured?
"The one who's running this needs to earn too. Obviously, if exactly 4 get injured, I win. Why else would I do this, right?
You stingy bastard.
Then dont participate.
Damn it. There goes a week's worth of food money on over.
Okay~!
That's when it happened.
At the back of the arena, a group carrying a stretcher appeared.
The students all focused on this sight.
Huh. Doesnt seem like there are many injuries?
Just one person?
The person carried on the stretcher was unconscious, not moving at all.
This person was immediately moved to the medical facility at the top of the arena.
Most students' eyes widened at this sight.
Hey, the person on the stretcher... thats Oliver, right?
Brown curly hair, brown skin... seems like it. And not in academy uniform.
Damn, in all my life, I never thought Id see this... Oliver being carried out on a stretcher.
Was there an accident? Like a brick falling from the ceiling and hitting his head. How did they defeat this monster? Our group was annihilated in less than a minute.
Following this, Theo's group returned to the arena.
There were no injuries.
All 50 were walking on their own.
Every student checked the number of Theo's team members and their jaws dropped.
Among them, some students eyes darted wildly, their teeth clattering.
Damn it... its true that the unexpected kills you. Mom, Dad... did I just get wrecked by a reverse-bet demon?
Stop talking nonsense, you idiot! I bet three months' worth of food money! Let's go ask them quickly!
The students rushed down from the stands towards Theo's group.
They bombarded them with questions.
Hey, you guys won, right? Youre the ones who did that to Oliver?
Yeah, we did, but its a bit...
"A bit what? Come on, just spit it out clearly! This is a huge deal! You know it too, if Oliver's cumulative achievements were a bit more, he'd be in the top 50 in terms of combat power!"
I know that, but it's hard to explain...
"Ah, this is so frustrating! Did you guys make some secret deal with Oliver? Promise him an artifact if he lost?
Hey, idiot. Thats not it. Do you not know Olivers personality? He hates losing more than anyone, would he be swayed by an artifact?
Ah, that, um...
The members of Theo's group just glanced at Theo, waiting for his guidance.
"Hah. Both juniors have no manners. What, are you two dating? You do match well.
This time too, instead of responding, Theo and Jang Woohee shook their heads.
The four aides standing next to Theo also simultaneously shook their heads.
Oliver smiled bitterly, lifting one corner of his mouth.
Was it because of their synergy?
They even looked cute to him.
A cuteness that made him want to smack them on the back of their heads.
"Tsk...... Well, the one who gets beaten is the fool. Theo, you won.
Saying so, Oliver turned his back and headed towards the training arena where the training would be continuing.
Olivers team and the academy professors and instructors followed him, breathing sighs of relief.

The day's training continued.
Uhuhuhuk...... I did everything Theo told us to...... I surely did...... Why......
Aaaaaah, aaah-!! My shoulder! Look at my shoulder first, please! I can't throw if my shoulder is injured!
The teams following Theo's group were in a dire state.
There were injuries in every team.
Each group had more than 30 injured members.
They had heard about how to fight Olivers team from Theo's team, but it didnt work at all.
Once again, the arena was filled with injured students and medics treating them.
From the stands, Theo looked down at the scene with a calm expression.
'Of course it wouldnt work, you fools......'
Oliver is not a fool; obviously, he wouldnt fall for it again.
Using the same one-time strategy was like scratching Oliver's temper even more.
It was the end for those who blindly copied without thinking.
Naturally, Theo felt no sympathy.
Just as Theo finished his reflection and was running battle simulations in his mind.
"Hey, catch.
Piel, who had approached unnoticed, handed Theo a pouch.
"What's this?
It felt heavy when he took it.
"Open it.
Inside the pouch were full of gold coins.
Piel shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"I made quite a lot of money because of you. It's half of the money.
Thanks.
Theo put the pouch of gold coins into his pocket.
Piel said.
The professor wants to have a long talk with us.
