"D… duel?"

There was a certain chill crawling through Alain's entire body as he stared at Zac Just a few more feet and he could escape

But what exactly was he thinking? To run from a duel in front of all his classmates—no, ould he even run?

"" Alain then turned to look at his class with each other, so at hiination caused by his panickingat hi in the air, none at all

Zac, as standing at the door and blocking it coh

As a member and officer of the Order of the Grand Militia, Sanctions Duels are sacred A 'break your promise with your lover, just not a duel' kind of sacred

And this kind of mindset was not limited to them at all—the common themarian also treats the activity sacred To try and leave in the e

Soo on eternal death once they find out one of their fa the sanctity of a duel

Everyone knew that, and Alain did too

"" Alain closed his eyes as his breaths finally started to cally so—but that was not a reason to run away

He then turned to look at Riley, who had his dismembered arm tucked between his arain breathed out as his liain," he then looked Riley straight in the eyes as he stood straight and placed his hands behind his waist,

"My name is Alain, from house Leiz!"

"Riley," Riley breathed out as he waved Alain's dismembered arm, "Fro you It wasthat a professor would be weak…

…Let us go again, Professor Ross!"

Alain then stood in a stance, watching Riley's every move as he very carefully stepped closer toward Riley

"Y—"

Alain see as he rushed toward Riley, but before he could do so, he felt his vision suddenly shi+ft to the floor

"What?"

Alain then very slowly looked at his feet, only to see theer attached to the rest of his body He then quickly turned his attention back to Riley, only to see his eyes glowing red

"Ho could you release an energy blast that fast!?" Alain bellowed, "I… I couldn't even see it"

"Because I ah as he finally dropped Alain's ar"

"Ge…netics? But I haven't even heard of House Ross before!"

"Oh, you will," Riley shrugged as he started approaching Alain

Alain, on the other hand, seeht as he just looked at the ceiling and let out a very long and deep sigh He then turned to look at his class their true expressions of horror and shock

This is enough, Alain thought There was no sha opponent And so, with another sigh, he sive—"

But alas, before he could utter his surrender, he felt so any words fro his throat

"I commend you, student Alain'Leiz," a small smile then crawled on Riley's face as he neared Alain,

"Not giving up even in the face of defeat As expected of a themarian"

"!?"

Alain's eyes quickly widened as he heard Riley's words Not giving up!? He was about to!

Alain wanted to shake his head; but like the heavy feeling blocking his throat, he felt so his head in place

"I hope we still see you in class the day after, student Leiz"

'What!?' Alain could only scream inside his mind, 'What does that even mean!?'

And then, out of nowhere, his vision turned dark
