Chapter 175

Veses smiled and said, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m not like those fancy butterflies. Since you even managed to handle Mede, let’s play for real."

Sylas smiled happily, pleased that the other person was being upfront and not playing tricks behind her back. "Play for real? How do we play for real?"

She smiled, making the other person hesitate, but still managed to squeeze out two words from her teeth, "A duel!"

Sylas calmly replied, "I couldn’t ask for more."

"I heard that you get angry when you hear Xerath being insulted."

Sylas’s face instantly turned cold. "I will make you take back those words."

She pulled out a white glove from her pocket and threw it at Veses’s feet. The pale flames and the powder in the small test tube ignited together, causing a yellow glow to expand, almost as big as the battlefield.

Kat was originally packing things up when he looked up and saw the yellow light in the battlefield. He shouted in alarm, intending to close the barrier and intervene. Suddenly, a feather arrow pinned itself to the ground in front of him. He angrily jumped up, glaring in the direction of Falcon Fortress.

The commotion caught someone’s attention. Kat angrily pulled out the feather arrow, shooing away students as he said, "Go back and practice! No gathering around here!"

The fight inside had already begun. Both of them were casting spells, dodging, and running at the same time.

Kat held a feather arrow, completely unaware of what Virgil was up to. Could he really leave such a delicate young girl to duel with such a high-level enemy? Veses had already qualified as a wind elemental envoy, with even silver thread embroidered on his collar. He only came to class to earn credits, hoping to guide Sylas, but who knew that the two of them would start dueling right away, with Virgil even getting involved!

Wind blades are the fastest and most dangerous spells. Skilled mages can even launch them at the speed of a grain of sand. And because they are invisible, they are exceptionally lethal.

So even Kat couldn’t see them, she could only roughly guess what happened by observing the direction they dodged, the sharp sounds, and the fluctuations of the wind barrier.

Sylas found it a bit challenging. If this was the level of an adult mage, Mede was just a child. Compared to Mede reciting long spells, this opponent kept using small spells to harass her, disrupting her casting and disorienting her.

But when she tried to use the same tactic to harass her opponent, she realized that he didn’t defend at all. Instead, his defense crystal kept shining.

Once Sylas realized she had been deceived, she had to awkwardly shout. The air cannon that appeared out of nowhere collided with the opponent’s air cannon. After a brief moment of fusion tranquility, a huge annihilation noise and shockwave swept through the entire area.

Sylas sensed something was wrong and quickly crouched down. A sharp whistling sound passed over her head. However, prior to this sound, the strong wind had already made her realize that her intuition had once again saved her life. Behind the air cannon was a wind blade, which although not very powerful, was extremely treacherous.

She ran forward for a while, gesturing in her hand. A series of medium-sized wind blades were slung towards Veses’s cheek. Veses had no choice but to keep retreating to avoid her disruptions. For an ordinary mage, it’s almost impossible to cast spells while moving. He only had time to create a gentle breeze around himself, but Sylas’s wind blades easily broke through this defense.

"Bang!" The defense crystal on his body suddenly melted, and hot crystalline liquid splashed onto the ground behind him. Sylas aimed at his position, and suddenly a water lord extended its tentacles from the void, entwining Veses’s ankle.

At the same time, a ball of ice and water mixed together hit him directly in the face, completely disorienting him. But before this young man had a chance to fall, Sylas’s tornado swept in from behind, lifting him up into the air.

Next, all Sylas had to do was manipulate the tornado to throw him out of the circle, and she would be victorious. However, she didn’t. She walked up to Veses who was trapped, with the tornado following her like a pet. Veses tried to launch a sneak attack from behind, but Sylas abruptly turned around, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him out of the tornado.

His body didn’t immediately touch the ground. A golden feather silently exploded into pieces, unseen wind lifting him up. The expressionless but cold woman pressed him down to the ground rudely, landing a punch on his cheek.

A low voice, like a beast’s roar, accompanied Sylas’s cold face as she punched him with her bare hands, saying, "You cheated on last year’s rhetoric and logic exam. Lucius Manel caught you, and you used his extramarital affair as blackmail to prevent him from reporting you. I still have the cheating report that Lucius signed in my possession. He’s afraid of the scandal being exposed, but I’m not. If you dare mention Xerath’s name with your filthy mouth again, I’ll make you pack up and get out of this school."

The duel wasn’t over yet. Veses lay weakly on the edge of the yellow halo on the ground, still inside the circle.

"Oh oh oh, my little master, don’t your hands hurt?" A sparkling, translucent, water-blue tentacle extended from the void and waved around Sylas’s feet. Sylas pulled Leunen out and pointed to Veses on the ground, saying, "Throw him out!"

Leunen obsequiously opened its body and completely enveloped Veses. Then, as if vomiting, it expelled him out of the circle. All the yellow light suddenly converged on him, gradually forming a red Shame Mark.

Look, there are still some changes to the text.

"The loser lost to Sylas."

Seeing the arena disappear and Shame Mark being formed, Kat angrily opened the barrier and shouted at them, "Hurry up and get out! What are you waiting for!"

Sylas glanced at Veses, walked slowly out of the training ground, and rubbed her own fist. She was too excited while fighting just now and didn’t notice the pain. When she really regained her senses, she realized that she had used too much force earlier, and her finger joints were starting to swell.

Kat couldn’t help but say, "This little girl’s temper is too hot-headed, be careful of causing trouble."

Sylas looked at the feather arrow in his hand and smiled, saying, "I will be careful."

The girl’s smile was originally very bright, but Kat felt a bit creepy. She wasn’t in this mood when she was sitting on Veses and beating him just now. Surely, anyone involved with Virgil is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Okay, go back to your own position." He said sternly to Veses again.

This young man, who was full of spirits just now, was now walking past him with a limp and a dejected look. His handsome face was swollen on one side, he spat out some bloody saliva, and squeezed out a few words from his teeth, "That b*itch really went all out!"

"Watch your language!" Kat warned.

Veses’s entire face wrinkled as he angrily looked at Kat. But unexpectedly, a voice suddenly began to repeat this sentence, "Watch your words! Watch your words!"

The clothes mirror by the stone wall somehow extended to this place. Violin samurai rode a fierce hellhound, while vigorously tapping the violin bow and sternly admonishing, "Watch your words!"

"Go away! Just a mere sticker…" His expression suddenly turned to fear, as if his mouth was being held by an invisible hand. He wanted to open it, but the skin around his mouth started to seal, until his entire mouth disappeared.

Kat couldn’t hold back her laughter, breaking the stern image of the strict instructor. Sham Mark was fond of insulting people, which made him the main target of the violin samurai’s surveillance. When the Dueling Law was popular twenty years ago, the violin samurai were busy using secret techniques to silence those who violated discipline. In severe cases, there were several people who couldn’t even speak when called upon in class.

"Watch your words and deeds." He smiled and patted Veses’s shoulder, motioning for the paramedics to come to his aid. Sham Mark was really something, wishing that every student who casually talked during class could experience the same.

A few bold students gathered on one side and asked Sylas why she suddenly started a fight, resorting to using her fists in an uncivilized manner. Sylas replied briefly, "He challenged me to a duel." "He said bad things about Xerath." "It’s his own fault." The onlookers made her uncomfortable, but luckily Kat came over and forced everyone to practice accuracy.

This was entrusted to him by Virgil, his connection. He couldn’t blame the child, so he reluctantly prepared to write a report: Sham Mark had appeared again. As the only teacher present, he had a responsibility to report what had happened without implicating Virgil. This meant he had to blackmail Virgil once again in order to soothe his own resentment.

After this class, news spread rapidly about the fairy girl who beat up a provocateur. The Lily Knight Order captain personally made a "Knight Order Medal" and presented it to Sylas. She also personally wrote an article commending the knight’s spirit of "defending the archmage’s honor," and condemning the behavior of insulting the opponent’s idol "as extremely childish, as if they were an immature child desperately seeking attention from their mother in the clumsiest way possible, but no one wants such a foolish child" and "a weak loser who relies on their tongue, as if ten years of wizard education couldn’t change their poor nature at all."

Some people pointed out that Sylas’s behavior of beating someone to the ground was inappropriate. Such articles quickly got buried under the flood of replies, with supporters expressing, "This is what they deserve, adults must bear the consequences of their actions," "If you dare to provoke, you must be prepared to be hit," "I hope you can come back alive and say the same thing when you provoke your superiors or wild beasts in the future," "No one is obligated to take care of your fragile glass heart," "Have you really recognized this as a duel?"

"Has Veses upset a lot of people before?" Swis looked at the extended temporary notice boards and sighed to his sister.

"Yes, of course. Veses has a foul mouth. He mocks others when he wins, but he’s really good at what he does. He’s got some skills." Luna replied, now having a new source of information, her fourth-grade boyfriend.

Swis said, "You’re so well-informed now. Oh, I wish I had an older boyfriend too."
