"Are you kidding me?" Kayden's frustration echoed through the arena, met with a collective murmur from the surrounding audience.

"No!" Aadya's firm response reverberated, her gaze shifting between Kayden and Asher Eli.

"Do you hurt anywhere?" Aadya inquired, her stern expression briefly revealing a hint of concern. Whispers spread among the onlookers, capturing the underlying tension in the atmosphere.

"Hmm..." Eli raised his eyebrows, noting the subtle worry behind Aadya's stern demeanor. With a small smile, he assured her,

"I am fine, Teach~" The audience held its breath, observing the exchange with keen interest.

Aadya frowned, not because she doubted Eli's well-being, but rather, because the way he looked at her and his speech seemed a little different from her previous experiences with him.

"OH!" Rock raised his eyebrows, not shocked by Eli's actions but rather surprised that his daughter displayed a hidden worried face. This realization prompted Rock to think, 'Finally, my daughter started to act... Come on My Little girl!!!!'.

Similar to Rock,

[I thought she was just a teacher to him?]

Lilith looked at Adriana with a blank expression.

[....]

Adriana evaded providing a direct answer.

[You know something, don't you?]

[....]

Adriana remained silent, choosing not to disclose that she was already aware of this due to Rock gifting his family heirloom to Eli.... no way she was going to take beating from this bitch again.

[....]

Lilith's lips twitched, and she cast a hateful glare at her husband, who seemed to be effortlessly charming and seducing everyone.

'Hmph, is he going to pick every woman?' She thought with an annoyed expression.

Returning to Kayden, he felt a subtle unease because Aadya was one of his close relatives and, of course, his childhood crush. A hint of worry crept into his thoughts as he observed the stern expression she wore.

It had been love at first sight for Kayden. Despite the significant age difference, he pursued Aadya relentlessly. However, she never displayed any interest, not just in him but in anyone else. Even using his 'Hero' title failed to garner her affections.

In desperation, he resorted to pressuring his uncle, thinking that would make her marry him.

As the realization hit him, fear gripped Kayden. 'H-Huh? D-Don't tell me it's not what I think it is!!!'

"Y-You...." Kayden's face twisted into a terrifying expression as he pointed accusingly at Aadya.

She was on the brink of asking him what happened when,

"SSSSHHHHHH"

The Head Master appeared, casting a glance at Asher Eli and Kayden. His gaze then shifted to Adriana and the empty seat, finally settling on Carter. The arrival of the Head Master injected a sense of gravity into the scene, and the audience held its collective breath, awaiting the unfolding events.

Lilith's interference in the duel was a blatant violation of Nex Academia's laws.

Breaking the law in Nex Academia, specifically interfering in a duel, invoked severe penalties. The consequences included the abolishment of cultivation and a 10-year imprisonment.

In cases where the person interfering was related to the participants, the stakes became even higher. After a thorough investigation, if someone connected to the participant was found guilty of interference, the participant would be deemed to have lost the duel. The punishment escalated to the abolishment of cultivation and a life sentence, extending until their death.

In instances where illegal or forced involvement of a participant's close associates was identified, the punishment was elevated to torture until death after a rigorous investigation. The stringent nature of these consequences aimed to uphold the sanctity and fairness of duels within Nex Academia.

The seriousness of duels in Nex Academia was underscored by the strict consequences for breaking the law.

The concept of a 'Duel' held..... an unparalleled level of danger, surpassing even the potential perils faced by royalties.

Despite the high-stakes nature of the duels, participants were never harmed by outside interference.

No, It wasn't due to universal fairness or the clean intentions of everyone involved. Rather, those attempting to interfere found themselves unable to approach the fighting area, as if an invisible barrier actively shielded the participants from external influences.

Even individuals holding the prestigious rank of emperor found themselves incapable of inflicting harm upon the participants.... Even Head Master won't be able to interfere the matches.

Of course, Those who 'Tried' to interfere were punished but they were never able to hurt the participants and No one ever did it..... until,

Today.

The Head Master found himself at a crossroads after receiving a stubborn order from the Council Members:

Adriana and Asher Eli would be imprisoned, and their powers abolished.

The Head Master was fully aware that involving Adriana in the situation could lead to war, as per the councils' plans. However, what the councils didn't anticipate was the potential chaos and bloodshed that could arise from involving the seemingly ordinary mortal, Asher Eli.

The memory of the day when the world was bathed in red still haunted the Head Master.

Lilith's extraordinary and transcendent power had defied the laws of the Nex, reaching the very heart of the Nex itself. It was a power beyond comprehension.

She was able to use her power inside the barrier that was never meant to allow any kind of power and even break it.

She was truly beyond comprehension.....

The kind of power that Lilith displayed was precisely what the Head Master had been searching for....

Pushing aside his unwanted thoughts.

He employed every bit of his intellectual capacity to carefully point out that Kayden was the one who initiated the conflict. The cause of the problem lay squarely on Kayden, making punishing Adriana an unjust choice.

After a prolonged period of consideration, the Head Master used his every bit of brain cells to prevent the destruction of the world. Eventually, the Council Members reluctantly agreed with the Head Master's idea.

"And so, Asher Eli will remain stationary for 10 minutes and no weapons allowed and no summoning and... Duel is only over when one of the duelist fell unconcious"

Head Master's voice reverberated throughout the arena.

"...."

A hush descended upon the arena.

Suddenly,

"WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS!!!"

Head Master knew who it was, so he responded, "It is the Council's decision. If you have any queries, I will arrange a meeting with them.... after the duel, that is."

"!!!!!" Carter's face displayed utter shock, glaring at the Vice-Head Master, who was equally astonished by the news.

However, Carter wasn't willing to let this slide. This was his historic moment, where he, as a seemingly weaker figure, could potentially imprison a mighty one.

Though he had some expectations for this outcome, he couldn't believe that his hard work to gain the Council's support wasn't as fruitful as he had thought.

"I don't understand why Nex is bending its law!!"

"There is no bending of the law, Mr. Carter Theo," the Head Master calmly responded.

"What do you mean? It is clear as the sky that you guys are licking a Fallen Woman's foot!!" Carter shouted in frustration.

"I cannot believe the Head Master could be biased toward his students.... I am starting to feel I might not be able to live peacefully here, FATHER!! I am scared!!" Theo, wanting to assert his existence, screamed with pained and frightened eyes as he hugged his father.

Hearing that, most of the students felt that the Head Master was truly biased in the situation. If it were anybody else, their cultivation would have already been abolished, and they would be imprisoned.

"Is this what the Head Master truly is?"

"Is he really scared of the Vampire Queen?"

"Do we even have fairness in this duel??"

"Shhhh... Silent idiots, they can hear us!!"

Most people wore questioning and doubtful gazes directed at the Head Master.

"Don't worry, my son... Even if it costs my life, I will bring justice and fairness to this corrupted system," Carter declared with arrogance and heartfelt words as if he were ready to die to protect the truth and fairness.

Carter was genuinely happy that he never thought his son could pull off something like this. 'It seems my son might become wiser than me...' Pride swelled in his heart.

People from Theos Kingdom were utterly taken aback by their King's words. Their eyes moistened in unbridled happiness, and they truly felt their King was more than just a monarch.

'He is a god!' they thought.

Head Master blankly stared at Carter, his wrinkled lips twitching in annoyance. Then he glanced at Adriana, who still wore a stern and indifferent gaze as if she didn't care for anything. However....

Head Master knew that the bluish-black-haired woman, who was Asher Eli's Maid, was conspicuously absent in the Arena. What's more, he could sense a few teleportations occurring in the direction of Asher Eli's Villa.

Head Master understood that Adriana wasn't going to fight here because she was the Queen of her nation. She might be able to deal with a single Kingdom, but if she hurt people from other Kingdoms due to a mistake, then there was no mistake; it would lead to another catastrophic war.

However, Head Master also knew that another person would never care about this kind of situation because he could already feel his instincts exponentially screaming at him to flee.

'Gulp'

He could only gulp, his parched throat tightening, and looked at Asher Eli. He felt a tinge of envy that Asher Eli was enjoying his life beyond anyone.

Shooing away his unwanted thoughts again, Head Master glanced at Carter and said with a dreadful voice,

"Mr. Carter Theo, no one is bending the la--"

"How could---"

"Let me finish," Head Master's killing intent finally released, a heavy air of authority sweeping over the arena.

"ggrrrr...."

"Good. Now then...

Mr. Kayden R was the one who provoked by playing the video in the duel--"

"B-But it wa---"

"YES, IT WASN'T AGAINST THE RULE!!"

Carter shut his mouth, visibly cowed by the sheer force of Head Master's anger.

Head Master glared at Carter before continuing,

"However, this place is for a duel, so the one who initiated this was Kayden R and..... his backing.

So, punishing the Vampire Queen and her Party is not fair. Even so, an Emperor involving themselves in this predicament is definitely hurting the pride of Nex Academia, so,

Asher Eli, for the first 10 minutes, has to stay stationary so that weakened Kayden R could take advantage of the time, and Asher Eli would have to fight without weapons or summoning a Mythical beast."

Head Master elucidated the situation as clearly as possible, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the charged atmosphere.

"I am no--"

Before Carter could object, Head Master interjected with a cunning smile,

"Of course, you guys were the ones who were affected the most, so I won't force you to agree with these conditions, and if you want to take action according to our Law,

Then I will personally investigate.... How the Video that belongs to Nex Academia ended up in the hands of Mr. Kayden."

Head Master looked at the Vice-Head Master, who averted his gaze.

'Fuck!!' Vice-Head Master cursed inwardly, unsure why Council Members changed their decision.

It was supposed to remove Alden Evergreen as a Head Master for his alliance with the Fallen Continent and abolish the Vampire Queen's Power, imprisoning both the Vampire Queen and Asher Eli.

[I-I will check immediately.]

He sent a telepathy to Carter before immediately leaving.

Head Master turned his gaze to the Arena and said with seriousness, "If you understand, then let's begin the duel....

This time, please just duel.....please...." but at the end of his sentences, there was more of a plea than seriousness.
