chapter 11
11 – Yubar is back
‘There really is no quiet day…’
Tia thought while looking at the back of Aren who was walking in front of her.
Now it was time for physical training, and everyone in Class A was heading to the gymnasium.
But today, Tia couldn’t concentrate in class all day.
Because Aren was concerned.
‘My sister isn’t coming, so this time he’s the problem…’
Tia’s gaze turned to Yubar.
Yubar was walking with his friends and chewing for a long time as if Aren was listening.
The contents were nonsensical, saying that they would trample on or kill.
‘Well, that guy deserves that.’
Tia quickly stopped paying attention and looked at Aren’s back again.
‘What on earth is she doing?
My sister was still chasing Aren.
He doesn’t come to the classroom anymore, but he accidentally finds that Aren is ambushing him on the way.
How do you know Aren has never met her sister…
While Tia was lost in thought, the class A students arrived at the gymnasium and stood in line in front of Professor Byron.
“Today, I practice the instantaneous acceleration technique I learned in the last class.”
Just as there were several weapons used in the technique of performing, there were also various types of techniques according to the movement of the technique.
This class is an instantaneous acceleration technique that all martial artists can learn.
Literally, it is an efficient technique that can be used for instant movement or attack.
“I learned it last time, so everyone can do it alone, right? Choose your own weapon and practice individually. If you don’t know anything, ask me.”
At Professor Byron’s words, the students immediately scattered and chose a weapon that suited them and went into training.
‘Instantaneous acceleration…’
Aren looked at his wooden sword for a moment and thought.
Aren has been practicing in the morning with Tail every morning these days.
But it was no ordinary training.
He was making his own swordsmanship by applying the techniques used by the man in his dream.
In the world of dreams, high humans like Aren were called people with special abilities.
Those people with special powers practiced their special abilities on the weapons they used to fight monsters.
For example, it is something like a sword of fire or an arrow of ice. Aren, who saw it for the first time, thought that it would become very strong, but after seeing the effect, he kept his mouth shut.
The fiery sword showed tremendous cutting power, and the ice arrow created an effect that paralyzed the cardiopulmonary function as the cold air entered the enemy through the blood.
When Aren saw it, he was shocked and at the same time raised a fighting spirit.
‘The coast can do it too.’
The ability is different, but the coast had its own ability.
Aren was making his own swordsmanship using those from other worlds as reference.
‘Since you use the coast, coastal swordsmanship? shoreline? Coastal?’
While Aren was seriously contemplating the name of his swordsmanship, he heard Yubar’s voice.
“What are you doing, you dumb asshole, you’re not training.”
“…why.”
“Why? Ha! f*cking hahahahaha.”
Yubar laughed madly, then suddenly straightened up and swung a wooden sword at Aren.
f*ck!
Let Aren simply block this attack…
“Wow~ f*cking maknae? Huh? Do you think I’m complacent that I lost once? Huh? You son of a b*tch.”
‘Crazy…’
As if he didn’t like that he blocked the attack, Yubar’s face began to grow more and more stern.
Of course, Professor Byron did not stay still.
“Stop Yubar.”
“……”
When Yubar didn’t answer and just glared at Aren, Professor Byron stepped between the two and said,
“I understand roughly how you feel, but it’s not time for sparring right now. Step back.”
“…fighting time?”
Yubar laughed and took out a glove from his chest.
Then he threw it at Aren with all his might.
pat tuk
“Pick it up.”
“……”
“Yuvar!!!”
Professor Byron finally couldn’t stand it and shouted.
Yubar said calmly.
“I’m sure the academy rules apply for a duel, right?”
“Don’t mess around.”
Professor Byron said with a bloody face.
“Why are you asking for a duel right now? If you use what happened in the last real fight as a reason, you broke the rules.
While Professor Byron was pouring out his theories, Aren’s voice was heard.
“Let’s like it.”
“…!?”
While performing his role as a professor for a while, Professor Byron was momentarily stunned by Aren’s remarks that suddenly interrupted him.
And Aren continued to speak.
“There are conditions instead.”
“Poop! Condition? Why? Shall I cut off one arm?”
When Yubar laughed and sarcastically, Aren grinned and said:
“It’s a long-awaited duel, wouldn’t it be nice if there were more people?”
“…what?”
Yubar felt that things were going strangely.
Aren continued to speak.
“Let’s do a duel after school at the academy’s central gymnasium, in front of the entire school, of course.”
“…!?”
At these words, Yubaru’s expression hardened as well, perhaps unexpectedly.
Like that or not, Aren looked at Professor Byron this time and said.
“Professor, please referee.”
“… I?”
“If the professor doesn’t take care of it, will one of you really die?”
‘What, what…’
Byron couldn’t come to his senses at Aren’s shameless words.
In my heart, I wanted to overturn the duel and everything, but Aren accepted the duel request, and since the students witnessed it, it became difficult for me to force myself to intervene.
Honor is so important to nobles that in such a case, they cannot step forward.
When Byron made a complicated expression, Aren started provoking Yubar this time.
“It’s not like that, is it?”
“This bastard!”
Yubar, who was agitated for a moment, immediately calmed down and said with a fishy laugh.
“I want to die in front of people, but there’s nothing I can’t do as a last gift~”
“Then it’s decided.”
Aren and Yubar laughed and glared at each other.

‘There are too many people.’
Cecilia was now in the central gymnasium in the academy grounds.
After hearing the news of Aren’s duel, he came running as soon as it was after school.
However, there must have been many students who had the same thoughts as Cecilia, and hundreds of students had already gathered outside the gymnasium.
‘So you came to the Department of Magic Engineering…’
Duels in the academy are rare, so it seems that not a few students from the Network Engineering Department came to watch it.
There was a female student who spoke to me while frowning for a while because of the large number of students.
“Oh, is Leah here?”
“… Frey?”
Prey Exgent, a third-year student in the Engineering Department.
As you can tell just by her name, she is the only princess of the Kingdom of Iggent, the pinnacle of magic engineering, and a genius wizard who mastered the 6th circle at the young age of 19.
“Lia, I came because there was a student you were following, but it seems to be true?”
Frey smiled prettily and approached Cecilia.
However, Cecilia only looked at the gymnasium, as if she had little interest in Frey.
“It’s too much~ It’s been a while since I met you.”
“Fray, what are you doing?”
“Somehow, there’s something fun to see, so of course you have to come.”
As the two talked, the eyes of the nearby students gathered on them.
‘Yes, it’s pretty…’
‘Wow, are you a person? Aren’t you an elf?’
‘Hoo-wook, whoo-wook, P-prey haak, Cecilia whoo-wook…’
The two of them had a conversation, not caring if people were used to staring.
“But who are you really?”
“what?”
“A man named Aren. I’ve heard some rumors, but he doesn’t have a very good reputation?”
“…it has nothing to do with you.”
‘Hmm, since you said that, you’re more curious?”
Having said that, Frey didn’t ask any more questions.
Because he knows Cecilia won’t answer his questions.
Frey flipped her white blonde hair and turned her gaze to the gymnasium.
“Uh, isn’t that your brother over there?”
“… that’s right.”
Tia, Carol, and Luke were sitting side by side in the front row of the gymnasium.
Luke, who was sitting next to Tia, said as if he was dumbfounded.
“……This thing is getting this far?”
“……”
“……”
Carol and Tia were already lost, so they couldn’t answer Luke’s words.
It all started with Tia’s breakup, but they couldn’t understand why things had gotten this far.
Of course, the cause of this was Aren’s unexpected remark, but even so, there was a degree.
“… I can see more than a thousand people…”
Carol was also muttering something to herself that she normally wouldn’t say, as if she was quite surprised.
At that time, students suddenly opened the road like a wave, and there was a person walking on the created road.
“Hey~ It’s been a while?”
“Aaron!?”
Carol opened her eyes wide in surprise and shouted. Tia glared at Aaron with a bored expression.
“Isn’t it probation period yet?”
“No, is it over?”
‘I bought it.’
Tia turned her head away as if she had lost interest.
Aaron looked at her and turned his gaze to Luke, who was sitting next to her.
“Look at Luke.”
“…what?”
“It’s my seat there, so get out of the way.”
“… ha, what.”
The moment the tearful Luke opened his mouth, Tia spoke first.
“This madman is still bewildered, and there is no place for you here, so please quietly get out of here. Please.”
“Ah, that’s too much talk. Did I say something out of the ordinary?”
Aaron said with a smirk.
“And I’m doing this because I want to watch that Aren or something scramble with you.”
“f*ck you, how do you know whether Aren or Yubar will win?”
“hehehe, I just got a feeling.”
Carol, who had been listening to Aaron for a while, noticed something and glared at him.
“Aaron, what did you do?”
“Huh? What am I?”
Thiado sensed something from Karl’s words and was about to talk to Aren, and today’s protagonists appeared.
“Wowaaa!!!”
“Start quickly!”
“Anybody die! Oh no, cheer up!!”
When Aren and Yubar appeared at the gymnasium, the students in the hall started cheering like crazy.
Even the professors could not take their eyes off the gymnasium while calming the students.
In the center of the gymnasium stood Professor Byron, who came out as the referee for this duel, and Aren and Yubar moved toward it.
“Whoa, how did things get to this point…”
Byron was sighing as he saw the two students approaching.
Aren and Yubar looked calm on the outside, but Yubar’s back was already drenched in cold sweat.
‘sh*t! Because of that bastard, what is this…’
Yubaru didn’t expect the matter to grow this far.
It was good to apply for a duel, but I didn’t expect that it would be a duel in front of the entire school.
When I accepted the offer, my head was slightly turned with anger, but now I am awake and seriously nervous.
gulp
‘Calm down, this is Aren’s ruse.’
Yubar thought that the reason Aren asked for a duel in front of the entire school was a ploy to make him give up the duel by increasing the pressure on him.
Because if not, there is no reason to make such a suggestion in part.
‘Do you think I would run away from a bastard like you?’
Thinking so, Yubar turned to the crowd and took something out of his arms.
“Bolridge Academy! Hello! My name is Yubar Jezex!”
‘Sound amplification artifact?’
Aren looked at the stick in Yubar’s hand and made an absurd expression.
‘What are you doing before the duel?’
Yuvar suddenly started giving a speech.
“I’d like to briefly explain why I challenged you to a duel today! I know this may bother you, but please listen carefully!”
The entire school was taken aback by the sudden start of the speech, but they began to focus on Yubar’s speech as if they were curious about the reason.
“The reason I challenged Aren Difus to a duel here! His usual behavior! His irresponsible behavior that harmed others! His cowardly behavior in real combat! Condemned! To regain the honor I lost!”
‘What are you talking about?’
Aren looked at Yubar with a bewildered expression, not understanding a single thing he said.
“Most of the first graders know it! Aren Deepus usually ignores people talking to him with a condescending look!”
‘I did chew the horse.’
“You’re chasing after the back of a woman who says you don’t like it just for the reason that you like it!
‘I was dumped by my fiancee as soon as I arrived…’
“He’s the kind of guy who sets the tone in the classroom by acting as if he’s the victim! He subconsciously offends others!”
‘I must have been criticized by Tia at that time.’
While Aren was listening surprisingly calmly, Tia’s expression was getting more and more crumpled.
“… what bullsh*t?”
