Academy’s Power Master

chapter 22



Honor Duel (1)

bum bum-

As I was walking with Belmont in the long hallway leading to the place that used to be a battleground but now turned into a duel, I underwent an item inspection.

“A Manastone Pouch?”

“It’s not like a bomb. Just… just know that it’s one of the ways I can fill my empty mana hole.”

“…Did you find out already? How?”

“I have one great helper. He’s short and has a bad personality, but he’s one of the best people I’ve ever known.”

“I want to meet you once. Anyway, as you said, this shouldn’t be banned. rest of it-“

“It’s a bracelet and a foot, but it’s just about controlling the weight.”

“Considering the level of the staff, if it’s that many artifacts and a bag of magic stones…. However, it is impossible to use magic items or manastones beyond this. If there are any more, I’ll take them out now.”

“It’s not because I’m a commoner. I have no money to buy.”

“….Branch.”

The inspection of the goods ended like that.

The fact that the bracelets and anklets do not have much different functions except for the weight control function, and that most of the manastones are of the lowest level and the lowest level.

Finally, I was able to enter the arena with all of my possessions, probably because Duke Berry’s wand was quite good.

“What are you going to do with the weapon?”

“I roughly think of it as a sword.”

“Lend me a decent standing bastard.”

“If yes, thank you…, right?”

Shrek-

When I said that he would lend me a weapon, I was thinking about a long sword used in the dungeon, and Professor Belmont untied his sword from his waist and held it in my hand.

“Write it well and return it.”

“…doesn’t this take?”

“The professor only lent a sword for the student he loved, so what can’t be done? And that’s not my darling. I just brought one of the ones out there.”

“It’s still better than staying in the dungeon.”

“That cannot be denied. But isn’t it better than fighting a high-level wizard with a high-class staff naked?”

“…I can’t deny it either.”

No mana restrictions can be removed through mana stones, but as a result, the difference between having and not having a weapon is huge.

So, as if I had no choice, I took Professor Belmont’s long sword and, draped at my waist, entered the brightly lit arena.

– Wow!

-Heize! Hey! Hey!

– Duke! Duke! Duke!

-Whoever wins~!

-I bet you, Heize! Absolutely win!

– Duke! I’m all in for you! Let the greatness of the nobility be instilled in the commoners!

Duke Berry, who had come first, and the nervous middle-aged man standing next to them, along with the voices of the audience hitting the eardrums echoed in my ears.

“…my ears are deaf.”

“It’s all like that. Are you sure you won’t be trembling?”

“Please. It’s not a bad feeling. I don’t know if it’s a seed of interest.”

“A bell of interest…what? Anyway, good luck.”

“Yes, thank you.”

With the words of Belmont who took care of me, I arrived in front of a neutral referee who will take center stage.

“Heize-kun! I’ll check it out!”

“Maybe your name?”

“Ah, my name is Harun. I am a professor in the Department of Spirits. Don’t worry, we’ll evaluate it as fair as possible!”

Oh, if it’s Harun, you know.

The neutral judge was Harun, a professor of the Department of Spirits.

She was short and round-looking, and she was the best fit for the word ‘cute’.

‘Perhaps it was a senior spirit sergeant. Well, he was a person that should never be underestimated.’

Harun, who is a professor of the Department of Spirits at Ardian Academy, was a great person even though he was from a commoner because he had unrivaled talent among spirit warriors with the lowest level of D.

What a high-level spirit sergeant.

In other words, it is said that he is an almost Belmont-level strongman with an A-level force.

Anyway, as I was thinking about Harun in front of me, Harun had already checked all the things I had brought.

“Bracelets and anklets. And the sword is fine….what is this manastone pouch? If it is for attack purposes, it cannot be permitted.”

He tried to shake the mana stone bag with a determined face, but to be honest, it wasn’t a threat at all.

In the first place, the profession itself as a spirit sergeant is like that.

It would be more accurate to say that they were ordinary people who borrowed the power of spirits rather than their own.

The problem is that the spirit that borrows power is too powerful.

Anyway, the answer to Harun’s question was already prepared, so the answer came out without any blockage.

“It is not for attack. To be precise, I think it could be called a secondary use. Doesn’t your professor know? that I don’t have mana. You can think of it as helping with that.”

“Um…if that’s the case—but for anything else, I’ll stop right away.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

As soon as the answer was finished, Harun nodded her head.

There is nothing more to look at, and everything that needs to be looked at is over.

Now at the moment when all you have to do is start an honor duel.

“Oh, by the way, Heize-kun.”

“yes? Is there any problem?”

“Come to the Spirit Department later.”

“…what do you mean?”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by Harun’s sudden invitation to visit the Spirit Department.

However, the moment I heard Harun’s words, I had no choice but to imprint her advice deeply in my mind.

“I have a child who seems to be a good match for Heize-kun, so I would like to introduce him to him…. Above all, I think Heize-kun would fit pretty well with the Department of Spirits.”

“…what do you mean?”

“The Spirit Contract…don’t you want to try it?”

I swallowed dry saliva and nodded in front of a smile that was refreshing but strangely attracted to people.

“I want to do it.”

“Yes, I like it, then I will be surprised later when I have time. Hayes-kun.”

“I look forward to it.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it too.”

spirit contract.

Suddenly I felt like I had another way to become stronger.

If she, as a senior spirit samurai, was interested, at least she would have the qualities as a spirit samurai, so my heart was even more excited.

‘Higher… No, it’s enough to be intermediate or low-level. At least I can survive until the middle.’

The strength of SSS-level talent and intermediate or low-level spirit skills.

Even if this is enough, you will be able to progress from the beginning to the middle without hesitation.

With a face flushed red at the thought that I could go on without anyone’s help or without mana, I left Harun and headed towards Duke Berry and his professor.

“The conversation is long.”

“It was a necessary conversation.”

“Isn’t that a trick?”

“There was no such thing. Without it, I will win.”

“…you are arrogant. I hope that’s half of what Belmont said, Hayes.”

I can feel the cool, sharp gaze turning towards me.

Professor of Magic, Gestapo Jackal.

A person who likes talented people, but starts looking badly at commoners.

I didn’t need to win his attention and favor, so I looked around and turned my gaze to Duke Berrys, who was staring at me with his red-flaming eyes.

“It’s been a week.”

“…I have been waiting for this day. The plate got a little bigger…but it’s rather good. Because I will be able to clearly announce my greatness, my loyalty to the Crown Princess, and your destruction.”

I’m sure I’m 15, so I have a couple of middle school bottles.

Even though he was a handsome boy, he didn’t seem to be able to avoid middle school.

Maybe it’s because he’s handsome and he’s talented, so maybe it’s because he’s so handsome.

“Everyone, get down to your seats. The judges are also coming with me!”

The fight didn’t last very long.

It was because Duke and I had to head to our respective seats with Harun’s cry, who invited me to come to the Elemental Department.

“I believe.”

“Do not worry. I will show you skills that are second to none.”

“…Yes, remember the battle with me. The battle between wizards and knights is different, but it will still be helpful.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Professor Belmont, who headed to Harun’s side, gave advice.

The first wizard to fight.

In addition, I have the penalty of not having mana, so the battle with the wizard will be even more difficult.

But there were no worries.

“I will come and win.”

He just calmly walked towards the end of the duel with an answer like a declaration that he would come and win.

“Then let’s start an honor duel from now on!”

wow-

The audience cheered as if it was a festival, and Harun stood at the center of such shouts.

Before she starts the duel.

It started with a brief description of the duelists.

“Duke Berry-kun is a first-year magician. The water supply is… Oh, you’re already a low-level wizard?”

The first was Duke.

After hearing Harun’s explanation, the audience began to roar without even forgetting the cheers.

-low class? It certainly deserves an honorary duel.

-Hmm, it must be difficult for Heize to win without mana.

The normal level of wizards is in the order of lowest – low – intermediate – advanced – superlative – archmage.

If you replace it with circles, it means 1~2 circles, 3~4 circles, 5~6 circles, 7th circle, 8th circle, 9th circle.

Among them, low-level wizards are called ‘apprentice’ wizards because they can handle proper attack magic, and intermediate wizards are called ‘real’ wizards.

However, since he reached the level of a low-level wizard at the age of only 15, it is natural for the audience to be surprised.

On the other hand, Heize’s explanation was shabby.

“Heize-kun is a first-year knight student, and the special thing is that he doesn’t have any mana at all! However, the physical evaluation is good, and the professor in charge, Professor Belmont, has a good reputation!”

– Hey, it’s over.

– How can a knight without mana, or a student who is not a knight, defeat a low-level wizard?

The fatal flaw is the lack of mana.

That doesn’t mean he has great strengths in swordsmanship or martial arts.

Of course, Professor Belmont, who is nicknamed the “Knight of Lights”, was well-received, but in the eyes of a third person, he was just a hedgehog embracing my young.

Just then, a slightly chubby student started moving around quickly among the audience.

“Duke and Heize! Hayes and Duke! Walk right now! Currently, the payout is on the side of Duke, and if Hayes wins, he gets a payout of about 3x, and if Duke wins he gets a payout of 1.5x!”

“Five! 1 gold for Duke!”

“Men are the reverse! 3 Gold for Heize!”

Among the non-combat departments, the name ‘Bell Might’ was written on the nameplate of a chubby student wearing a badge belonging to the Department of Merchandising.

above mite.

As it was a famous trade show in its own way, the spectators bet money without any doubt and received the paper with the dividend amount written on it.

When one side earns hard money and the other side prepares for a duel.

“Everything explained, let’s get started right now!”

Harun’s high-pitched voice echoed through the arena.

“Silairon!”

-Oh!

According to Harun’s will, the higher spirit of the wind, ‘Sylairon’, showed off a fierce wind that marked the start of the duel along with the harsh wind.

Whoo oh oh-

When, with strong winds, not only the spectator seats, but also those standing in the arena were unable to open their eyes properly.

“Samsung Sword.”

“….!!!”

Heize was standing in front of Duke Berrys, holding the sharp sword Belmont had given her over her head.

Three Hammer Sword.

The drama that Heize can unfold now, which is full of the magic of Heize-style heavy swordsmanship (B+).

Duke Berry’s red eyes fluttered open at the feeling of intimidation and pressure that weighed on the surroundings-

aah-!

The sword that was trying to contain the world fell over Duke Berry’s head.

With the appearance of a single meteor shower.

Aww!

A huge explosion sounded from the place where Duke Berry was, and the start of the honor duel splendidly announced.
