Chapter 63：Duel (2/2)

He would give an exception for him. Not because he disregarded him, but because he felt sorry for him.

Yman felt a chill, like someone just thinking bad at him. Or maybe felt pity at his situation. Really, this duel was bad news for him. Someone like him, who was hated by many, for certain, most of the trainees salivating to embarrass him in this duel.

After all, some high officials are here to watch. This was the perfect time to embarrass someone like him.

As expected, a group of trainees were having wicked smiles at the moment. Kiko's eyes glinted in excitement as he thought, 'What a great chance.'

Yman's face twitched. If he knew that something like this would happen today, he would choose to be absent in today's training.

By the way, how come he got no news about it yesterday? Maybe it was announced so early this morning?

Hah! He could only let a sigh escape from his mouth. Well, he was a little excited too. After all, this was only a mock duel.

Since it was a mock duel, for certain, they would stop the duel before it got out of hand. So this duel would probably be beneficial to him too.

”Instructor Musk, Instructor Torr, and Instructor Beth will be the judge of today's mock duel!” Goki added.

”Fufufu, this is going to be exciting. Too much hype.” The woman instructor named Beth stated as she stepped forward and licked her red lips.

Most of the male trainees suddenly felt a burning aura within them.

She looks elegant in a navy blue dress outfit that she wore at the moment. Red lips and light makeup summed up with her waist-length wavy brown hair.

She was oozing with adult demeanor. And a faint smell of expensive perfume carried by the wind towards the trainee's twitching nose holes. Most of the male trainees salivate at her voluptuous chest. With their eyes turned into a heart shape, like some dude who was under the effect of love potions.

Although she was not as pretty as Almina and the blonde, she had a womanly charm that was unique to her.

A sunflower-like deity was floating beside her. Every time the deity moves, the petals around its body rotated.

”I wonder if the young man from the Sun family will join this duel?” Instructor Torr added.

He was a towering man. Stood at 6 feet and 5 inches. With stone-like muscles and chest that seemingly made of stone; topped-up with a plain military green shirt and paired with military fatigue pants. He was wearing combat boots on his feet.

Then a long slanted scar on his left eye that add a seemingly first impression that this guy had already taken many lives before.

The trainees immediately gulped and went into deep silence. Scared at the towering man in front of them.

A crow-like robotic deity in full black color was nesting on his broad shoulder.

”Oh my, you really are a detestable person senior Torr. Look how you chickened out our newbies. Kukuku.”

A man in a straw hat and was chewing a piece of tree branch spoke sarcastically as he took a step forward. Two slim single-edge swords were hanging on his waists.

And a panda-like deity was resting on top of his straw hat.

These three people were the instructors that will be the judge in today's mock duel.

”Hmpf!” Instructor Torr just scoffed at Instructor Musk remarks.

”Okay, everyone. Make a 50-meter radius of empty space!” Instructor Goki commanded in a whole loud voice.

The trainees hastily made a circular space in a radius of 50 meters as the instructor required.

When everything was set, ironically, the first who stepped forward was the girl with lavender hair that tied in a ponytail, it was Kesha. And she demanded to challenge the blonde girl, Maena Hex.

Maena wanted to challenge Almina, but she was not allowed to refuse the challenge.

The two girls were facing each other in the center of the round empty space after choosing their weapon of choice.

5 long tables were placed around to act as the ring or boundary. The guest officials and judges were sitting in front of some of these tables. And on the other table was placed the different kinds of training weapons.

Instructor Goki stepped in the middle of the two girls. He would be acting as the referee.

”The rules of these duels are just simple. Whoever hits their enemy 5 times will automatically be announced as the winner. The duel will be stopped if serious damage was dealt with with your enemy.

You can't choose to give up either since the judges will judge you through your statistics that can be seen inside a thin transparent magical widescreen(Holographic Screen). Your vital will be displayed in there, so only they had the power to decide if when to stop the duel...”

After the long announcement of rules, the duel finally started.

Maena's weapon of choice was a bow and a quiver full of arrows. While Kesha chose a shield and a magic-based pistol.

”What a wise weapon choice,” Yman commented.

”Fufufu, what a cheeky girl.” Keremi, who was at his back, suddenly stated, but Yman did not know who he meant by it.

RESONANCE!!

The two girls shouted at the same time. Immediately, their body was enveloped by the brilliance of green.

Twang, twang, twang!

Three arrows flew successively towards Kesha.
