"Good," the referee nodded. "The rules set by Camilla are simple, the two of you can't wear any armor, neither can you use even a potion to increase power or healing. It will only be a simple weapons fight. The two Gladiators know what they are going to win and lose in this, which is theirs personally."
The referee's explanation made more than one spectator curious. What agreement did they reach? What are they risking?
Unfortunately, they couldn't know anything about it; they only had a few guesses.
However, they were not fools, if Camila was the one who chose the rules, that means she was the one who wanted to make the duel ... That means she challenged Theos!
The strongest in the whole Academy challenging a first year, wouldn't that be considered bullying to juniors? But no one said anything, being curious about this battle.
Theos nodded at the rules, agreeing. He wasn't wearing any armor and that could be seen by just wearing a simple black suit.
Pulling out an object, the referee proceeded to check if the two had used a power-up before entering the battlefield.
Fortunately, neither used one, making it a clean and fair battle.
Seeing that everything was ready, the referee walked away. But not before making a signal that all the Third and Second-year students knew quite well.
The signal that the Fight is valid!
Eagerly awaiting the announcer's shout for this fight to begin, everyone had their eyes glued to the battlefield.
Turning around a bit, Theos saw his two beloveds supporting him, their hands rising and cheering him on.
His sister, on the other hand, seemed to be pouting in anger, but that didn't stop her from at least raising her arms in support of her brother.
This scene made Theos smile.
'They do want me to win,' he thought.
Turning around to the other side of the bleachers, he met Eleanor's gaze. However, she snorted, looking the other way in annoyance.
This caused Theos to roll his eyes. 'She's jealous...', he said to himself; it wasn't a doubt or a question, but a fact.
Theos also looked at more people, however, there weren't many main characters.
'At least there's the main character and Arnold,' he looked at the main character and the main character's rival, Alan and Arnold.
They both seemed to be quite interested in the battle. But Alan's face was somewhat different as if he was shit food.
[The Protagonist is envious and quite jealous of the Host... 5000 of negative energy].
"Huh?", the notification from the system caught Theos off guard, who didn't know how to react.
But come to think of it, it's normal. Given the plot, it's even quite normal for Alan to be attracted to Camilla and Eleanor.
Upon learning that one of them is his fiancée and the other, even though he is now going to fight her, it is more than obvious that the two have a close relationship.
Who has Camila talked to at the Academy? Almost nobody, nobody has seen her talk to a person as much as Theos...
'Well, that's a nice bonus of power to fight with,' Theos thought with a smile, grateful for this "unexpected" giveaway.
However, as he looked deeper, he noticed that a red figure was hidden in the large crowd of the Colosseum.
'Scarlett?' wondered Theos.
Looking more intently, he realized that there was Scarlett, the beautiful redhead who was watching the battlefield expectantly.
The shout echoed throughout the Coliseum.
Instantly the two moved.
Theos took the initiative to attack, negative Mana surrounded his entire body, strengthening it to its maximum capabilities.
Leaving a residual image because of his speed, he steeled Camila in less than a second, performing a vertical slash that, despite not having the power of his Path, the destructive force behind that slash is colossal.
And Camila knew this, she did not want to take the risk of receiving Theos' offensive. So she quickly took several steps back to dodge it.
*Boom
The slash crashed against the sand, creating a tremendous wave of sand that completely covered Camila.
"!?", she was unable to react to this as the entire wave of sand surrounded her, forcing her to close her eyes.
Temporarily she was left without vision....
And Theos did not miss this opportunity.
"Using the battlefield to your advantage is essential," he said suddenly, advancing towards a blind Camilla.
However, she also had her tricks...
Her entire body was surrounded by a Golden Aura... The Dragon Aura.
Theos swung his sword towards Camila's body, however, this Dragon Aura blocked its passage towards her abdomen.
"Hm, so you used that," he muttered, seeing how she had used the tricks they could only use once in their life... The Dragon Aura.
Noting that Camilla had opened her eyes, Theos immediately turned away. 'Now I can fight with everything,' he thought.
He had calculated absolutely everything; he had read countless times Camila's fight in the novel, and he knew all her moves and styles and tricks, like the one he just used.
A powerful Dragon Aura that he can only use once every day...
They had also talked to Luna since she saw Camila fight personally, and she told me everything.
I had read the novel, but reading how she fights and watching her fight are two completely different things.
And cleverly, he'd gotten valuable information out of Camila through Luna...
"Let's go all out," he announced, releasing his Path.
The Corrupted Celestial.
