Chapter 40: Duel (2/2)

Lashia’s expression changed as she was about to explode.

Claire’s cold voice, although low and gentle, interrupted timely. “How can person who didn’t even pass the preliminary round bark in here? Are you feeling that it’s a pity that we didn’t humiliate our country in the end or are you upset that you weren’t the one onstage humiliating our country?” Claire’s tongue started becoming poisonous. Claire never had any good feelings towards these arrogant aristocrats.

“You!!!” Alice was furious, abruptly pulling out the sword on her back and pointed it at Claire.

The library’s mood instantly became tense.

“Haha.” Claire slowly stood up, a peerlessly brilliant smile radiating from her face, in that instant captivating everyone. But the words Claire said was a different matter. “Little vixen, let’s go, I accept your dual, let’s go out. I don’t want to bother the people here who are reading.” That gentle tone of voice and seductive smile charmed everyone completely, making them lose their senses and overlook her malicious words.

Truly malicious, Walter thought. Women, don’t mess with them. This was really a gentle knife. This feeling was too “amazing,” like he was going to be butchered but was still helping her clean the knife. So, Walter concluded insightfully, it’s most terrifying when that little devil smiles.

Claire slowly got up and walked towards the entrance. When she passed by Lashia, a sliver of worry flashed in Lashia’s eyes as she said two words in a quiet and low voice. “Elder sister…”

Claire looked back slightly, nodded at Lashia, and then walked out.

Lashia stared blankly, then an imperceptible smile appeared on her face, gentle and faint.

Claire walked in front with Jean following from behind.

Alice sheathed the sword onto her back and followed with a face full of anger. The rage in her eyes reached the skies as she hatefully watched Claire, itching to dismember Claire’s body into a thousand pieces. This hateful male-chaser actually called her in that way.

Lashia also followed from behind. The people at Lashia’s sides were her followers. At the very back was a large mass of people. They all originally came to the library to look up information, but when they heard Claire accepted a duel, they all eagerly ran out to see the excitement.

Once they saw clearly the person Claire accepted a duel against, they all became shocked. It was Alice Roman. Alice was the Sunrise Institute’s third ranked warrior. At thirteen years of age she is already at the level of a grand warrior, truly making people shocked. Meanwhile, Claire was a magician who had only used advanced warrior level Dou Qi, and her level as a magician had never been tested before.

Which family would win this contest?

Quickly, the plaza in front of the library was surrounded by an impenetrable crowd and the number of people continued to grow.

“I’m delighted you accepted my duel.” Alice sneered, fuming with rage. The pleased expression in her eyes deepened, as if in the next moment, victory was hers.

“Let’s start.” Claire only insipidly said.

“Wait.” Alice actually said profoundly, “Isn’t it too boring this way, let’s make a bet.”

“Oh?” Claire raised her brow slightly.

“If I win, I want the sword your knight has! If I lose, I’ll give this sword to you.” Alice pulled out the strange sword on her back and fiercely struck it into the ground. Immediately a thin crack appeared on the slate plaza’s ground.

She wanted Jean’s magic sword?
