Novel Full Chapter 101 Duel ( 2 )
Vale has indeed brought the amulet with him since he believes that this guy would also bring his own Mystical Artifacts.
After all, he still came from a prestigious clan.
He even has the money to splurge by offering the Spell Scroll to him if he won this duel. With this in mind, Vale believes that Wilfred also has some mystical artifacts that could protect his life.
Of course, there was no way Vale would simply agree to his demand. š”šššŖ.š
“If I remove Protector Amulet, shouldn’t you also remove one of your Mystical Artifacts?” Vale said as he pulled out the wooden amulet from his inner pocket.
He didn’t have to use his Phantasm State to tell that Wilfred was also carrying some Mystical Artifacts.
“Hmph! Very well.”
Wilfred sneered as he removed his necklace and threw it beside his friend outside the dueling platform.
Vale didn’t know what kind of Mystical Artifact was that but he can tell that it possess a certain level of spiritual energy stored in it.
He then looked behind him to find someone who can hold the amulet for him. He first saw Leonore at the side. However, if he threw it to Leonore to keep it safe for a while, the misunderstanding would just go deeper and he wouldn’t be able to explain himself no matter what he do.
In the end, he shifted his gaze and found Chad’s groupā¦
However, as he was about to toss it to Chad, Vale hesitatedā¦
‘If I gave this to Leonore, Wilfred will probably become angry. If I can make him act on impulse because of this, it might be worth the shot.’ Vale mused.
Although he’s confident in winning against this person, it wouldn’t hurt if he tries to be more careful and add a layer of tactics… psychological warfare!
With this in mind, Vale signaled to Leonore to catch the Protector Amulet that he received from Professor Charlotte.
This action obviously attracted everyone’s attention.
After all, the amulet that he was carrying wasn’t just handed over to some random classmates but it was Leonore Roland who should be involved in the love triangle they were imagining!
‘Why did this guyā’ Leonore was also surprised as she caught the heavy amulet that Vale had suddenly tossed.
As she was trying to think of Vale’s purpose in doing this, the people around him already started a heated discussion.
“Ahh! Isn’t this a confirmation?!”
“Indeedā¦ So it was like that. It was Wilfred who was trying to break them apart.”
“I heard that Vale is only from a poor noble familyā¦ Maybe it’s because of that reasonā”
“Yesā¦ He probably thought that Vale didn’t deserve Leonore Roland.”
“Thisā¦ What a tragic storyā¦ Although he’s the one Leonore truly loves, he still has to fight the young master of the Moontomb Family.”
“ā¦”
Vale felt that the reaction of the students was too much but seeing Wilfred’s red face like it was about to explode, he knows that his plan was effective.
As long as Wilfred acts rashly, he could enact his plan and kill this person as the Headmaster instructed.
‘It’s not like you’ll really dieā¦ Your soul will be collected by Headmaster and you still have a chance to liveā¦ but maybe as a ghost or evil spirit.’ Vale thought as he looked at Grover, the referee of this match and his senior in the club.
Grover then looked at the two sides before speaking with a loud voice.
“Since this is your first duel, I will explain a few things. As you know, there are some rules in this duel. Although a few of them are essentially decided by both sides, you still have to adhere to the Academy Rules. One of the most important things is that you can’t enter your Phantasm State before the battle begins!”
“We understand.” Vale and Wilfred answered at the same time.
“Goodā¦ Since you know that, you simply have to remember that I will be intervening if I found any form of cheating during this match which will result in your disqualification. If you admit defeat or surrender to your opponent, you will lose this duel. Lastly, if your life is in danger, I will do my best to save you. However, we are all Dark Arts Practitioners and all of our Dark Spell can be ruthless at timesā¦ If I can’t save you in time, you can only blame yourself for choosing an opponent you can’t handle.”
As Grover said this, he confirmed that there are no changes in the reaction of both Vale and Wilfred.
They were obviously aware of this rule already.
Grover then looked at the Corner Judges and confirmed that they were all ready.
Since Wilfred has brought many supporters who are also in the higher years, thanks to his influence as a young master of the Moontomb Clan, Grover has to rely on these Corner Judges to ensure that they won’t secretly intervene in this match.
After taking a deep breath, Grover entered his Phantasm State and confirmed that no one has entered their own Phantasm State as of yet.
“If you are both readyā¦ You can nowā¦ begin!”
As soon as Grover said this, the two instantly entered the special state as they released their Dark Spells almost at the same time.
Vale has summoned three Ghost Handsā¦
They were already in the Advanced Realm and even in Grover’s case, this is the first time he had seen a Ghost Hand that reached this level.
‘So it looks like thisā¦ It’s unfortunate he didn’t learn the Spectral Hands or Spirit Hands but learned this support-type Dark Spell insteadā¦ What a pity.’ Grover commented in his mind as he knows that Ghost Hands weren’t really meant for battle.
If Vale has an Advanced Realm Spectral Hands instead, perhaps, Wilfred wouldn’t think of dueling against Vale.
On the other hand, Wilfred only has a late-stage Elementary Realm Spectral Hand but with the combination of his Fear Stream, this Spectral Hand would deal a massive blow on Vale if it landed on him first!
