In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

"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.

'Hum, it's weird that she's not training 24/7,' Theos wondered.

He, who read the whole novel from head to toe, knew very well Scarlett's personality as someone quite noble, but she is also a battle and training maniac.

If she's not fighting, she's training and if she's not training, she's on a mission where she'll have to fight.

It's as simple as that...

That's why Theos missed her presence here. Especially because of her expectations of him and Camilla.

But thinking about it more deeply, he made more sense of this strangeness. 'Could it be that she admires Camila? No, she doesn't admire anyone... Maybe because the strongest of the first year and the strongest of the whole Academy are going to face each other, she wants to evaluate the difference in power between me, the strongest of her class, and Camila, the strongest of the whole academy.

That was the conclusion Theos came to, trying his best to give logic to the situation.

"Are you done seeing all your friends yet?" asked Camila indifferently.

"Hm, come to think of it, I don't have any friends...", he answered, thinking about this somewhat strange fact.

Camila's eyes showed some surprise that she tried to conceal. "Really? For some reason, I thought you had a circle of friends or something."

"Well, besides my parents and grandfather, I only have Alice, Luna, and my sister," taking a pause, he continued. "Oh, right, and you."

This statement took Camila even more by surprise, who instinctively took two steps back with a completely red face.

"What did you just say?" She asked, panicked.

"That I consider you a friend," Theos said again, smiling.

Even Camilla's ears grew hot at this point.

She considered Theos to be her friend, but to think so was one thing and for him to say so was another.

She felt extremely rather embarrassed. 'You could say he's my first friend, couldn't you?' she asked herself with embarrassment.

[Camila feels boundless shame, plus anger with herself... 4000 of negative energy.]

"?????," Theos didn't know what to say regarding this.

Ira? Embarrassed? I just called her his friend!

Theos shook his head, not wanting to indulge further with the topic, just took it to mean that Camila hasn't had many friends and feels a lot of shame about it.

All the onlookers were interested in the talk between the two, pitifully, they were talking too much to hear them.

"Is everyone ready?" the announcer shouted again, getting everyone's attention.

Immediately everyone fell silent, taking the utmost seriousness in this situation.

Everyone took this duel quite seriously, especially the first years, who wanted to gain experience from this battle.

Theos took guard, bending his knees slightly, his right hand gripping the Death Fragment more tightly.

Camila also took guard but in a different way. For, with her two swords in both hands, she stretched out her arms, making the swords almost touch the ground.

She took a straight and firm stance, making a great contrast between their different styles.

The announcer shouted again. "The duel will begin...NOW!"

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.
