Duels at the academy have quite a heavy meaning.
‘They say 400 years have passed, but in reality, it’s no different from the past. Anyway, there is no progress. ‘Development.’
This means that even if you kill your duel opponent, you will not be punished.
My God, such barbaric customs still remain even after 400 years. Equality and freedom? I tell you to stop making white noises.
‘Because I was severely insulted. Even if you kill the other person, you are not guilty, right? I don’t know who received the system, but it is an insult to God.’
The progression of the duel is as follows.
If there is a risk that a person’s reputation will be seriously damaged if left alone, that person can challenge the other person to a duel.
The person challenged can refuse, but then he or she will be considered a coward. Because he insulted me as much as I could and then ran away.
In the duel that unfolded like that, they could freely kill and beat each other. It’s a refreshing method.
‘Besides, I see there’s something called betting? Well, let’s take a look at my winning percentage.’
They say there is gambling in everything, but it seems like there is even a bet on who will win in a duel.
I glanced at the menu hanging in the square. My odds were written there.
[Erin odds: 3.89 times]
Anyway, isn’t this serious… ? That’s almost three times the difference!
This is also a passage that shows how much the original owner of this body lived like a fool. How much of your life have you ruined, huh?
“The money I have right now… .”
I searched my pockets. I probably had 3 gold coins left after paying living expenses this month.
This isn’t enough.
‘I just happened to remember someone worth lending money to.’
This scumbag often spent all his pocket money on drinking, and each time he borrowed money from someone else.
‘But why does this guy hate professors?’
I suddenly had a strange feeling, but first of all, I really need military funds.
‘To infuse mana into this body, a very precious herb is needed. It would have been easier if this idiot had saved a little money.’
I sighed and slowly headed towards the main academy building.
Probably because the woman the original owner hated the most was the professor.
***
smart.
“Can I come in? Professor.”
I knock on the door. The answer did not come back right away. Is it not inside by any chance? If I remember correctly, professors are usually in their offices.
“Yes~! Please come in.”
After clearing my throat and tidying up my clothes. I grabbed the door handle and went in.
When I went inside, the foul smell of reagents assaulted my nose. Was it during research? I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at the professor.
“Haha. Erin. I really didn’t know you would come to me.”
It was a woman wearing a gray dress. It may not have been a particularly good piece of clothing, as there were no patterns engraved on it.
It had very rare golden eyes, and something felt strange when I looked at it. It must have been a spell.
Anyway, she is a beauty with a sharp impression. Why does Erin hate this woman?
‘Ah, I understand. ‘You come from a lower class.’
Of course they would hate it because they were trying to teach themselves about the lower class. You probably know this guy’s personality.
“I’ll tell you straight. professor. Please lend me some money.”
I got straight to the point. It’s not my nature to talk back.
The professor blinked at the sudden words and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Why me?”
Of course, this reaction is bound to come out. But I have an answer in mind.
“I’ll pay you back double later. That’s okay.”
“Hmm… . Erin. You are truly a rude person. He suddenly came to me asking to lend me money. I can’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
It wouldn’t be a business worth losing at all. I’m going to bet on myself, and I’m sure I’ll win. This woman will just sit back and make you a ton of gold.
Of course, I know very well that I am an untrustworthy person. Even I wouldn’t lend it to you willingly.
“Let’s hear it first. How much do you need?”
“As much as possible.”
“I think it would be better if you were more specific.”
“I guess I could give about 10,000 gold.”
10,000 gold! If you have that money, you don’t have to worry about money for the time being.
Of course, I don’t intend to lend everything. I plan to ask for an absurdly large amount from the beginning and continue the negotiation in a more favorable light.
“Haha… . 10,000 gold? Do you think it’s worth it to you?”
Because there is “. I’m asking you to lend me something.”
“You’re surprisingly cocky. But why should I trust you and lend you something when you have nothing?”
I decided to give my prepared answer. I came to this woman believing in this, but I don’t know if it will work… .
“I will mortgage my body. If you can’t pay me back within a week, you can either sell me as a slave or kill me and use me as experiment material.”
“As you wish… .”
“Yes.”
Although this is a very surprising fact.
This girl likes Erin. Exactly, I didn’t like his personality, but I guess I fell in love with his attractive top.
Naturally, the person involved went on a rampage. It’s not enough that I’m from the lower class, so how dare an older woman ask me to work? And that’s it.
“As you wish… !”
“Hey professor?”
“It means I can really do whatever I want.”
“Yes, I don’t mind.”
“Good. 10,000 gold, I will lend you it as is.”
The professor immediately picked up a document and filled it out. I guess they think they can get me for 10,000 gold.
“Instead, you have to pay it back within a week. Otherwise, your body belongs to me.”
“I know. I know.”
“Good. But where do you plan to use this money?”
“Since you lent it to me, I will be happy to tell you. I’m going to call this money. That’s three times as much.”
The professor said nothing. He leaned back in his chair and just looked at me.
“I’m really looking forward to that.”
Instead of answering, I opened the door and went out. I didn’t want to see those creepy golden eyes anymore.
“Now all we have to do is wait for the duel.”
***
Time passed quickly, and it was the next morning.
I roughly chewed my breakfast and headed to the duel location.
“Isn’t that Erin?”
“I think that’s right… .”
”It looks as cute as I heard.”
I can hear whispers around me. Most people ridicule me, and there are very rare people who sympathize with me.
Anyway, everyone doesn’t think I’ll win. It doesn’t really matter. Anyway, that voice will turn into a voice praising me.
As I hear various sounds, it is now a duel location. I went up with my hands in my pockets.
“It’s late.”
what? He said he already came. There are still about 30 minutes left until the duel time. When on earth did you crawl here?
“You’re diligent. I think I still have enough liver.”
“It would be basic manners to come out and wait two hours before the duel.”
“Huh.”
So when are you saying we have time to eat? This is outrageous! really.
“Because fate is decided anyway. I don’t think it’s any big deal even if it’s late.”
“… Speaking of fate, I have something to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
“They say you slapped my friend yesterday.”
Wow, did you tell me that? That year was a really rough year.
“I hit you. He came into my room carelessly and didn’t even apologize.”
“… It’s the worst.”
worst? No, the really bad thing is that bitch who comes into my room and talks nonsense.
These are really… .
“If you kneel down and apologize right now, I will let you safely go out the front door.”
“Umm… . Fuck you.”
I politely raised my middle finger. It is visible that the beautiful forehead is wrinkled.
“Don’t hesitate and talk. Show me your skills. Are you saying you are the strongest among the common people? Then, if I defeat you, it will prove that lowly people cannot defeat those of noble blood.”
It’s something I don’t even mean to say. I was annoyed by his constant provocations, so I poured out verbal abuse without realizing it.
“That won’t happen.”
“I hope so. By the way, I think it’s time to fight.”
“Okay.”
Although only five minutes had passed, we decided to fight right away.
After returning to their respective seats, Lira pulled out a wooden sword from its scabbard. It looks like he’s planning on letting go even if he curses like this.
“It would be better to pull out the real sword.”
“This is enough.”
Soon, the duel referee will come up. He looks shocked when he looks at the two of us who are already preparing to fight.
He looked back and forth for a moment… . Soon I raised the flag. It’s a starting signal.
“Start!”
“I am Lee… .”
“Fireball.”
– Quaaa!
As soon as it started, Lyra was hit squarely by a huge fire ball and fell to the ground.
“We’re fighting right now, so are you just casually introducing yourself?”
As expected, there’s something strange about young guys. I can’t believe I’m looking for romance in a place like this.
I cast the next spell and laughed at her internally.
