Chapter 64 Assessment 2 (1/2)
”Any question?” Alice asked
No hands were up. Seeing this Alice wanted to start the assessment, however, a student raised his hand. ”Yes, Pollack?”
”Ms Alice, I am not asking a question. I just want you to become a witness on my duel with other student.”
”Oh..” Alice became interested. Back then when she was still in the academy, she also like to duel with other student. Whenever she saw a student was bullying other student, she would stood up for that student and challenged the bully to a duel. Also, there was a time when a student was kept on chasing and pestering her and it annoyed her, so she resolved it with another duel.
However, that only last for the first month she was in the academy. After that, her talent and power kept getting stronger and more and more people knew about that. At the end, because they didn't want to duel when they knew they would lose, they avoided to make trouble in front of her.
”Who are you dueling? Is there a bet included?”
”I am dueling with Smiling Wizard, and there is a bet included” Pollack smiled.
”Is it true?” Alice asked Auron. She was surprised to see Auron was dueling with Pollack. She knew Auron from these few days and her impression of Auron gradually increased. With no mage talent, he kept on learning and not give up.
”Yes. The one who get higher score in this assessment will be the winner. And, if I win, he would kneel and publicly apologized to me. If I lose, I will not attend you class anymore.” Auron said bluntly.
Hearing the bet, she was shocked. Although Auron had no talent to become a mage, her impression of Auron had increased. When a student was very enthusiastic about what the teacher teaches, the teacher would also become motivated to teach more.
”It is a pity that I would lose such an enthusiastic student” She sighed in her mind. She thought that Auron would lose but, she could not stop the duel.
The academy believe that dueling would help the student to gain more battle experience. Thus, the academy encourage the student to duel, this could be seen from the academy way of doing. In practical period, the student could duel and bet their academy's point. As the baseline point gradually rising up, duel was the only way to get the point needed.
As long as both parties agrees to the duel willingly and it not involved death, then there was no way that duel could be stopped even by teacher or the headmaster. From the way Auron and Pollack said, Alice knew that both of them had agreed to the duel way long before and there was no pressure involved. She knew she could not stopped the duel, so she didn't bothered to stop it though she would lose a bright student.
