Chapter 6: Duel Request

Chapter 6: Duel Request

As Stark sat in the classroom, trying to focus on the lesson being taught, he couldn't help but feel the weight of everyone's gaze on him.

It was clear that his arrival had stirred up some kind of reaction among his classmates as most of them had seen the video that was going around the internet of him tricking the other guy into falling off a building.

And after an hour of boring lessons he tried his hardest to listen to...

~SLAM~

The door of the classroom opened, and three guys entered it as if they were the kings.

Stark immediately noticed that one of the boys, who was also the leader, was the tanned blond-haired man he had tricked yesterday.

"Daniel, I won't allow you to cause havoc in my class," the teacher, a man in his mid-forties, who also looked used to this types of scenes, retorted.

But Daniel brushed him off, pointing his hand at Stark, "You, me, at the back of the school right after class ends, i'm finally going to end your pathetic life, you parasite."

"Holy shit... Daniel actually asked for a duel...?"

"Doesn't it mean he is gonna kill him?"

"I want to see that...!"

It seemed like people were excited to see the fight, and looking at Daniel's expression, it looked like he was ready to kill, his powers and family influence probably enough to let him get away with that.

But Stark wasn't impressed.

'Since when do tutorial bosses get second phases...' he sighed.

And without even taking the time to let him answer, Daniel and his little gang left as it wasn't their classroom.

'This guy was massively injured yesterday, and now he is back as if nothing happened... I guess there must be some powerful healers huh...'

The class continued for the rest of the day, but nobody could really focus as all they were waiting for was the upcoming confrontation where Daniel would decimate Stark.

Surprisingly, Stark was the only one that didn't look bothered by this at all, almost as if he didn't care.

And he actually didn't.

As the bell rang for the end of the day, the students began to file out of the classroom, chattering about the upcoming duel between Stark and Daniel.

It was the talk of the school.

"Yawn~" the black-haired boy in question slowly left the classroom too and then followed the crowd toward the back of the school, wanting to just win this fight and get this over with.

[Are you this confident you could win?]

This panel appeared before him, and he stopped for a few seconds to read it.

"Yeah," he replied before resuming to walk.

[Hm... Why are you this confident?]

[GO!]

And right at the countdown ended, Stark got two notifications.

~Ding~

~Ding~

...

[New Skill: Perception]

[Type:] Passive Skill

[Level:] Cannot be upgraded since it is not combat related.

[Description:] This skill is always active, and allows the user to check the name, level, class, attributes and skills of the person in front of them (also items).

...

'Nice,' Stark didn't waste time and immediately used it to check Daniel.

[Name: Daniel Pridel]

[Level: 12]

[Class: Warrior]

[HP: 1250]

[Strength: 42]

[Speed: 27]

[Stamina: 64]

[Defense: 107]

[Skills: Strike; Force; Buff...]

'Okay... he is definitely way stronger than me...' Stark was actually surprised the difference was this blatant.

But before Stark could even check out the second notification he had gotten, Daniel summoned his steel sword from thin air then dashed toward him.

Seeing him come at him at full speed, Stark realized he wouldn't be able to avoid it like he did last time.

'I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment,' he was mainly speaking to Rher while smirking.

[Do not fret, everything will be fine]

~SLASH~

Daniel used [Strike] and hit Stark in the stomach, causing him 374 points of damage, which was way more than his measly 10HP.
