Chapter 255 Fight me

"Heeh? A son of a mere Earl is talking about status, that's funny."

A voice was heard.

"Who the fuck-" The boy who had stepped up in front of Nux turned around, wanting to curse, however, soon, his expression changed and his face looked like he had just eaten shit.

"Kane, Smith…"

He muttered.

A smile appeared on the boy named Smith's face as he muttered,

"It is good that you know who we are, son of an Earl.

So I was saying, you have some guts to talk about status in front of a member of Marquee House." Smith muttered.

"Huh? What?" The boy frowned.

"The member of Marquee house? Isn't he just a commoner?"

"So what if he is a commoner, Nux is my, Smith Hardwick's sword brother. Doesn't that make him a Marquee?

At the very least, he is someone whose status is a lot stronger than someone like you."

Smith revealed with a smile on his face and the boy's eyes widened in surprise.

"W-What?"

Nux smiled and walked toward the boy.

"Yes, now little dog, stop barking and embarrassing your owner, stand back."

The boy gritted his teeth in anger, however, he knew he couldn't do anything here.

Although he was stronger than this commoner, Smith and Kane were different, Smith Hardwick and Kane Bannermane, both of them were Master Stage cultivators, just like him.

Not only that, but both of them were sons of Marquees, he couldn't do anything against them.

Since the two of them were now protecting this bastard, he could only step back and rely on someone else.

"Huh? Did you just call my subordinate a dog?" Candice narrowed her eyes. She had already come out of her reverie and was cursing herself for being afraid of a mere Advance Stage Cultivator.

Nux tilted his head in confusion,

"Didn't you hear?

Let alone your subordinate, I am calling you a bitch as well, and I have been doing that for a while now, bitch."

"…"

Again, everyone turned silent when they heard Nux's words and Candice's body trembled again, this time, however, it was from anger.

"Are you two sure you want to protect him?" She turned towards Smith and Kane and questioned.

"Is that even a question? He is my sworn brother after all."

Smith answered with a smile on his face.

Actually, he would never do something so tiresome as protecting someone who he doesn't even know. However, this time was different, he has received a letter from his father and the way the letter was written, Smith could feel his father's anxiousness.

Kane was the same.

They could feel how desperately their father wanted to protect this man.

Nux Leander was most definitely not a normal commoner.

He must be someone far more terrifying than that.

"Even if it means that you will fall out against the Water House?" Candice questioned.

"You think we are scared of you?" Smith questioned back and Kane stepped forward as well.

Their meaning was clear, just like every other time, Bannermane and Hardwick house were in this together.

The Water's house may be strong, however, they are nothing in front of these two Marquee houses combined.

Candice gritted her teeth in frustration.

The Royal Family and the Dukes never participate in the struggles between any lower-ranking nobles, therefore, in this academy,

Marquees were the ones with the most influence.

She may be a prodigy and her house might be strong, however, that does not mean children of other Marquee houses would submit to her.

She wasn't that influential yet.

Water Family had allies as well, however, allies were only here allies for profit, and their relationship wasn't as strong as the relationship between Bannermane and Hardwick House.

If it all comes down to political struggle, she knows that her 'allies' would leave her side.

After all, no one wants to participate in a fight. Everyone just wants to reap profits.

Bannermane and Hardwick's houses, however, were different.

They would fight out together as if they had an unbreakable bond between them, that is what makes them so strong.

Therefore, Candice knew she can't do anything about all this.

In the end, she turned toward Nux and challenged him,

"Alright, let's end this pointless conversation as cultivators do,

Fight me."

Nux chuckled in response,

"Man, you really are a two-faced bitch huh…"

"Huh?"

"First, you call me out for attacking 3 Beginner Stage Cultivators while being an Advance Stage Cultivator, but now, you challenge me, an Advance Stage Cultivator while being a Master Stage Cultivator?

Bitch, are you right with your head and did you damage your brain somehow?"

"Are you scared?" Candice completely ignored his words and smirked provocatively.

But would Nux give into provocations like these?

Of course not.

He still didn't get what he wanted, after all.

"You dared to slander Teacher Evane, she would like to fight it out with you, do you accept?"

"She's a teacher, she isn't allowed to fight against a student."

"A two-faced bitch indeed." Nux nodded his head and this time, a few more students couldn't help but look at her with weird expressions on their faces.

Was this really the girl who they called their Goddess? The future pillar of the Kingdom?

Candice's face distorted in anger when she noticed that, and seeing that expression, Nux smiled.

Now was the time.

"You want to fight me, correct?" He questioned.

"I do."

"I have a way to make it a fair battle,"

"What?"

"Teacher Arvina Skyfall has taken you as your personnel Student, correct?"

"Yes, that is correct."

"I heard that Teacher Arvina Skyfall is known for her Sword Skill, she must have taught you some, did she not?"

"What are you trying to get at?" Candice narrowed her eyes.

"Why don't we have a Sword Duel, a Duel where we will not use our cultivation and fight with swords?

Of course, since Mana has already strengthened our body, we can't do anything about that, however, we won't use any Skills in this fight.

We will fight purely with our swords.

And since Teacher Arvina Skyfall is so good with swords, she will act as a judge,

How about it?"

Nux questioned and a big smile appeared on Candice's beautiful face.

"I agree."
