Chapter 27 - How to deal with a situation (if someone challenges a duel?)
Editor: imsara
I think that dueling is an anachronism. Is it because I still have my view as a modern Japanese?
On the day of the entrance ceremony, my copy at school informed me of the emergency situation and I rushed to the dormitory to find my copy being exhausted.
I searched the memory of the copy to find a beautiful girl with a good figure and experience the recruiting and the bragging of the little glasses.
You’ve done a great job. You did a lot of hard work. Take a good rest for now.
In addition, right after confirming the trouble with the upperclassmen, I went to the front door of my dormitory to hear that there was a woman visiting me.
“—- For these reasons, Master Schneider Hafen proposes a duel against Hart Zenphis. It will be held two days later in the evening, Master Schneider has already booked the arena in the academy for that time. I would like to hear your answer.”
“A feminine senior, freckled and charming, announced the content with a nervous look. She was one of the nobleman’s lackeys that the copy came across.
“No.”
“Yes…. What?! Do you really want to refuse a formal notice of a duel?”
“I don’t know about that part, but you can go around blowing the whistle and saying ‘He got away with his tail between his legs’.”
If my reputation is tarnished, my expulsion must be faster and I want you to do that.
“You know, if you refuse a formal request for a duel without a valid reason, it won’t be just yor problem. You know that? You don’t care if your father, Lord Zenphys reputation is tarnished?”
Oh, is that how the system works?
Then that will be a problem.
I don’t care what they say about me, but I didn’t want to get my dad in trouble.
“I was born too weak to withstand magical combat.”
“Then you should drop out of school right now. There’s no way you could endure five years in such a fragile body, is there?”
“I’d like that to happen as well.”
“What?”
“Well my grandmother had left me strict instructions not to take part in a duel, and I wasn’t…”
She glared at me, since I changed my mind midway through the explanation..
“You need to stop messing around,”
“Well, I’ll take the duel anyway. Please be gentle with me to the point of not dying.”
“…I don’t think you will do it, but you are not going to lose on purpose, right? Try that, the stigma over and above the refusal of the duel will be painted on the Zenphis family.”
Seriously…..
“Anyway, if you’re going to take it, do your best. Master Schneider will want you to do the same.”
With those words as a leftover, the senior student turned on her heels and left.
Now, things got messy.
I have no intention of blaming the copy. It’s the nobleman called Schneider or some other nobleman who’s worse in the situation, a gray hair who can’t read the air any more than I can. She’s that woman with a ponytail.
And speaking of that ponytailed woman.
When I glanced to the side, I saw that woman sneaking around in the plants, her face half peeking out.
If the other side doesn’t talk to me, you can ignore her.
I pretended not to notice it and went back to my room.
Now, duel. A duel.
Now that I’ve accepted, I have no choice but to do it, even if it’s a verbal agreement. But it’s hard to know how to deal with it.
I don’t know if I can win this fight.
At any rate, this time I am up against an elite opponent. And since he’s the vice president, he must be quite competent.
The only thing is that the magic that the nobleman released with the intention of killing didn’t do any damage to the copy. Because I had deployed enough defensive wards in place to withstand even my attacks, but the nobleman wasn’t an attack specialist. Maybe he’s a defense-heavy type.
If the attacks here and there can’t get through, a mud fight is inevitable.
To begin with, there are certain circumstances in which I must not win.
If I make a mistake and win against the elite in the eyes of the general public, my withdrawal from school due to failing will be far away.I have to lose haphazardly, like a failure, without getting hurt. It’s a lot of work.
I’m going to have to get some information.
I’m going to have to find out what kind of magician Schneider is and what attributes he possesses.
I’m sure I’ll be able to do just that.
I’ve set up a tracking ward on the errand girl a while ago.(Sir author Please tell me what kind of ward is this that can do anything)
I created a surveillance ward and linked it to the tracking ward that I previously created. The surveillance ward flies through the wall.
I put it on the monitor and it showed the back of the errand girl. But, oh? There is another person who is talking to her about something.
A beautiful girl dressed as a man with a white ponytail. She was that airhead. What is she doing there?
They walked away together before the surveillance wards could pick up their voices. Could it be that she’ve joined them? With my suspicions unresolved, the two of them rode in the carriage at the main gate of the academy, and even inside, they were silent the whole time! –.
Apparently, that nobleman lives in the palace of the marquis in the center of the capital. My father’s other home is also nearby, but since I’m planning to leave school soon, I’m not going to go there, I’m going to take up residence in the dormitory for now.
Aside from this, the pony girl and the errand girl have entered and have been taken into a large room.
Schneider is sitting in a luxurious chair. He is surrounded by his lackeys, even though it is late at night. A woman at his side put her hand on his right shoulder and concentrated on something. What is he doing?
The errand girl told something to Schneider.
He glared at the pony woman.
“Stop the duel, you say?”
“Yes, that’s right. Yes, this is all my fault. I didn’t think it was appropriate to involve him in this anymore. Besides, I can see you’ve been hurt pretty badly. You’ll be fine in two days, but there’s a big difference between you and him in abilities.”
“Shut up! You were there and you didn’t notice?”
“Huh? What do you mean by “you didn’t notice?”?
“There was another third party in the room with him, in addition to you and him.”
Oh, I didn’t know that. Some other people were also observing. But unidentified things may be dangerous. I’ll give the copy a detection ward next time.
But, mr.nobleman, are you even injured ? Oh the woman next to him is treating him. I see, I see. I am sorry about that.fufufufufu.
“I don’t think there was any third-party intervention. I think you were injured from a mysterious weapon he had in his hands. It happened in an instant, but I am not pretty sure about it.”
Hmm? Did the copy attack him with that gun? Please be clear.
The pony woman looked troubled, but quickly turned towards Schneider.
“In any case, it’s not good to duel with him. Would you please withdraw it?”
“You really are a pain. Did he ask you to beg for his life?”
“No, He seems to be avoiding me and I haven’t had a chance to talk to him since.”
“Hmm, I am not so sure. You don’t seem to know how to ask a nobleman for anything. You didn’t even get down on your knees.”
He gave a twisted smile and his lackeys chuckled. Then,
“I see. I apologize for my naivete.”
The pony woman dropped to her knees without any hesitation and rubbed her forehead against the floor.
“As I said it earlier. I want you to withdraw your request for a duel.”
“……..It’s boring. If you don’t feel a shred of shame, there’s no point in getting down on your knees. Did you think that was enough to make me feel better, you fool! Ugh…..”
Schneidar’s face contorted as he screamed, his wounds hurting as he screamed, and he reprimanded the healing woman.
“Concentrate more, you fool.”
“I’m sorry.”
He’s a picture-perfect piece of crap, this guy.
In the meantime, the pony woman stands up. She’s still in trouble.
“I’m sorry I was rude. What can I do to make you feel better about your behavior?”
“Well….. Yeah, let’s see, how about you dance naked?”
It sounds like a random thought, but the lackeys are getting all excited.
“That….It’s a tough decision.”
Apparently, she did have a sense of shame. It’s a bit surprising because she’s kind of an indifferent woman.
Schneider smirked.
“I can think about it if you do what I want. okay?”
It’s clear that, after enjoying the naked dance he would say, ‘I thought about it, but I don’t want to!’ And he’s going to be all smug about it, isn’t he?
Well, I don’t care if the pony girl is embarrassed or not.
But, I’ve got a great idea.
“Okay, I’ll do it. If it would make your anger subside.”
The pony woman put her hands on the buttons of her jacket. She still seems to be hesitant, and this is the only time her hands are shaking.
I turn off the monitor and stand up.
I am dressed in a black costume.
The black hero and dark justice enforcer, “Schwarzer Krieger” aka “Schwarz”. Transformed. This is a long one.
Well, in short, that’s what it is.
Now that he’s sent a notice to duel me, I have to do it.(It’s time to du-du-duel!)
But if he can’t fight me…
Then there would be no duel at all.
