Chapter 164
As an institute created mainly to teach magic and combat arts, it was normal for duels to be allowed .
The institute forbids fights between students, but if two students have a dispute, they can speak with a teacher and request a duel . If the teacher agrees, the duel will be fought in the institute's arena and the teacher will supervise the duel to make sure that nobody dies or is gravely injured .
The noble students proposed a duel against Joseph and Rose, and they accepted . Of course, Rose and Joseph could not fight all the nobles by themselves, so two of the nobles would represent the group and face them .
What came as a surprise was Alan's request for a duel .
He said that the way the student council and the students' guards treated his subordinates went overboard, and he requested a duel to search justice for them .
Everybody knew that it was just an excuse to take revenge for the humiliation he suffered just before, but nobody mentioned it .
Of course, neither Katherine nor the proud Dina refused the duel . Instead, both of them seemed eager to fight .
So, we moved to the arena .
The information about the duels spread very fast, probably because the noble students spread it in purpose . However, none of us cared . In truth, with the exception of Joseph, and maybe Iris, everybody else here was confident in getting the victory .
When we reached the arena, a crowd of students was already seated in the stands .
Joseph was a bit pale . He was not confident that he could win, but he was not going to hide like a coward now that he was challenged to a duel . Even if he lost, he was going to fight proudly .
At that moment, the headmistress looked towards us .
"Very well, who will go first?" She asked .
The nobles looked at each other and two of them stepped forward .
"We wish to fight first, headmistress . "
Evelyn looked at them and nodded . "Very well, Rose, Joseph, step forward . "
Joseph and Rose nodded . Contrary to Joseph, Rose was very excited . She was looking forward to battling two strong enemies . For her, this duel was an opportunity to improve her abilities .
When the two groups were in front of her, Evelyn frowned and asked something .
"How are you going to compete?"
"Two vs . two . " The nobles said almost immediately . "If they lose, they have to apologize publicly, and if we lose, we will apologize then . "
Evelyn looked at Joseph and Rose to ask for their opinion . They nodded after thinking for a bit .
"Very well . " She nodded . "All of you know the rules . No killing and no maiming the opponent . If I see any of you trying to harm your opponent maliciously, I'll intervene, and believe me, you will not like it . Also, I hope that today's conflict ends here . If I learn that any of you searched revenge after the duel, you will have a very serious chat with my fists!" Evelyn fixed her gaze in the two nobles when she said it . She feared that the nobles would try underhanded means to harm her students if they are defeated .
The nobles nodded frantically with pale faces .
"Very well, then . I wish luck to all of you . Now, get ready for the fight . "
""""Yes, headmistress!"""
The arena was a place specially prepared for duels between students and even teachers . It had a capacity of five thousand spectators, and today it was almost full . Students and teachers had rushed here to witness the duel after they heard that the three committees were participating .
