Chapter 69：Let’s drag all of them (2/2)

One blonde girl was annoyed at this development. This whole thing was a waste of time for her. She needed to train herself. And she also wanted to see Almina and that weakling fought, although she already knew what would be the outcome.

In spite of that, she wanted to peek on Almina's strength for future references.

Kiko on the other hand had knitted his brows from the principal's reply. But he didn't back down. And was able to find a hole, ”I didn't mean to test his strength now. After all, I'm not a bully. As I said before I am a man of virtue. For it to be fair, the duel is not needed to be now. It can be on a later date.” Kiko said with a smile.

Principal Mar sighed and shook his head slightly. Disappointed with Kiko. He wondered why Kiko insisted on dueling that False Magician. It wasn't important right now. If that False Magician could not develop himself to become stronger, then he had the choice to leave the academy to find new professions to feed himself. Until the higher-ups on the Outerworld took him out of this world and brought him back to the Outerworld.

But before the principal could voice out his reply,

”Excellent!” The mayor exclaimed.

”I like that idea! I approved it!” He added. Not all officials had the same thought as the principal. The mayor really likes this Kiko kid of the Sun family. Not only was he strong, but he also was a man of virtue and a kind person who wanted to help his friend to prove himself to others, that he was capable.

Not only the mayor but some of the instructors also agreed to it. The chief remained quiet. He also was curious about that False Magician's growth. After all, he was able to control the mana flow in just a day. So he had high expectations of him somehow.

Goki tried to disagree but the mayor and the others already decided.

Yman was not even allowed to say 'no'.

The worst thing was, if he lost, he would be suspended in this academy.

|This Kiko was so desperate,| Yman thought.

However, everyone was dumbfounded at Yman's next words. He could not let Kiko's idea win. Now that he was not even allowed to disapprove of this duel, Yman grinned and thought with a glint in his eyes, |Then let's escalate this to all of them.|

Yman walked a step then stopped on his feet. Everyone turned silent when they noticed him.

Almina was watching his narrow-back and wondered why Yman made a step forward. She also noticed his back made a sudden heave as he permitted an air left from his mouth.

Then everyone heard him saying, ”If that is the case, since I can't even say no to this predetermined duel, perhaps I can also suggest something?”

”Fufufu looks like it is going to be interesting.”

Keremi from the audience podium was delighted at the event that was going to happen. He knew Yman would never let himself be at the disadvantage without making a fair comeback.

But he had no idea how Yman would upset this disadvantageous situation for him. That's why he was curious about this suggestion that Yman spoke of.

Bob on the other hand had no idea what was going to happen. He wanted to see the duel of Yman and the beautiful Almina Amulet. But it looks like things swayed away from it after that rich-looking person named Kiko went to the center and suggested something outrageous.

The blonde Maena Hex sighed in annoyance for what currently was happening.

Hearing Yman's words, ”Pufft!” Kiko held a laugh. Well, Kiko was certain that whatever this frog tried to suggest was just unnecessary.

Almina knitted her brows at Kiko's rude behavior.

Ahem! The principal cleared his throat and said, ”Well, well, just to be fair, let's hear it.”

”I agree with Principal Mar.” The chief seconded.

”Speak, False Magician,” Principal Mar Mari beckoned him.

Yman didn't know whether he laughed or cried. He was called with another name yet again.

However, it wasn't important at the moment. He opened his mouth and, ”Heh,” he sent a smug at Kiko.

Kiko knitted his brows and felt something bad was going to happen. He tried to open his mouth to ruin Yman's pace but Yman has already opened his mouth while saying, ”Thank you, Mr. Principal and Sir Chief for this favor. My suggestion is... since it was a duel where my future in this academy is betted. In this regard, it would be much better and fairer if the principal made it an official contest instead. In which all the other trainees can join.”

Since he had a little chance of winning in the first place. Then he wanted to make Kiko troubled by it also. After all, there were more strong trainees out there who chose to hide their real strength and stayed low key.

If Kiko is still able to win the championship after that, then it also means that he was no doubt the strongest trainee in this academy. After that, he could only accept his defeat in silence and leave the city.

Yman also suggested that if both of them lost the competition, then both of them must leave the academy.

Kiko felt like he just ate a mouth full of bitter foods at this proposal of Yman. He tried to disagree but the chief and principal already made their approval with glistened eyes. Kiko was enraged and thought — did the principal did not think highly of his ability?

Yet he had to calm himself. He could not let any uncool behavior happen in front of Almina.

Actually, Principal Mar did not decide on a whim. He also thought of Kiko's importance in the academy for the coming competition. But if Kiko could not win in this competition against the other trainees inside this academy, then how could he be able to win those super-geniuses from the other academies. And like what that False Magician said, to be fair. Since it was Kiko who decided it first. For the sake of fairness, it was only natural to give both of them a suggestion.

The chief suddenly straight up on his seat after hearing this False Magician's suggestion. A feeling of admiration towards that young man slowly wailed from inside him. He chuckled and muttered, ”What a crafty one.”

”Ufufu, this kid, wasn't really that bad,” Instructor Beth muttered in fascination also. Although he was weak, his craftiness and wittiness started to fascinate her.

She knows that this kid suggested it to avoid a head-on confrontation with Kiko. With such a number of participants, only a little chance that the two of them would be facing each other in a match.

”Kukuku.” She giggled at the thought.

With this proposal, the other trainees become livelier. Especially those who lost recently in the duel. They wanted a rematch and won next time!!!

Principal Mar was very grateful for this proposal. Not only it encourages the trainees to become stronger. They could also use it to earn money and entertain the people in this city.

Unlike those old years, where the trainees only thought of their personal issues. Not even productive for the city. And sometimes the city resources were spent on useless things.

Goki's admiration for Yman leaped higher. However, Yman was still in high danger of leaving this academy. Beside them, Almina was having red eyes. She didn't know why. But the thought of Yman leaving the academy, hit her hard.

”Oh yeah! Good Job for that, Yman bro!” Bob exclaimed in excitement. He also was excited to duel again.

”Fufufu, as expected of My Prince. He really was one of a kind.” Keremi cackled.

Maena felt this was her chance to settle the score between her and Almina. And she thought, 'Not bad for that weakling. I will be good to him in our next life but not in this lifetime.' She said with a glint in her eyes.

Yman and Almina lose their desire to continue the duel after Kiko interferes.

The date and rules of the coming competition will be announced at a later date.

Yman directly went to the smithing shop for the item he ordered. Together with Sistela who was sitting on his shoulder. He had to become stronger somehow.
