Dueling is an unusual rule created at the Royal Carbon Academy.
The rule is typical of a meritocratic academy: ‘The winner changes the ranking of the loser’.
The content is set by mutual agreement and can be done at any time in the presence of witnesses.
However, the loser is banned from dueling for a month, so it is no longer possible to say, ‘I’ve moved down, so move on to someone new!’
Conversely, another person can challenge the winner to a duel as many times as they like…
“Hey, I knew The school is strange. Will there be bashing from parents who encourage bullying? ”
“That’s why they’re trying to nurture talented young people. The winners can duel again and again, and the academy can let them accumulate experience at no cost, so it’s a good deal, a good deal♪”
“…… Selfish bunch of people. Don’t think that everyone is an M who wants to be sandbagged!
What a complaint, but the situation they are in now is still the same.
The duke’s son, Raiga, who had poked at him earlier in the morning, is in front of him. He points the tip of his sword towards him and starts to say that he wants to have a duel.
“Why is this happening in the first place?”
“When Master was guided to the training grounds by the knight club, Raiga-sama, who had come to see the knight club, found master and said, `There’s no way someone as shameful as you could be in first place!’ And then this happened.”
“Once again, I think the accidents involving me are too much. Shall I sue for harassment?”
Adel doesn’t know, but the knight club is the largest club in this school.
People who want to become knights in the future and people who want to learn swordsmanship gather together, and the size is about 100 people.
Of course, with such a large number of people, there may be an ulterior motive that they will gain many connections, but they are all aspirational people steeped in the meritocracy of the school.
Thanks to this, a little commotion attracts a lot of curious stares.
“L-Look at me, Mil-sama! I, …… Raiga, will skin this disgrace!”
“Yes, that’s the worst.”
Raiga, who admires the Astia Marquis family, says so, but Mil, who has made fun of his younger brother, looks at him with insult.
However, as if admiration was blinding, Raiga continued to point his head at Adele in a breathless manner.
“That guy, he challenges easily to a duel, but …… don’t he remember the last time he got beat up by me? I mean, there’s no advantage for me, right? Even if he loses, there’s nothing in it for me.”
“Yes, the loser gets a ban, but nothing for the winner.”
“What’s that thing, …… ha! No, I just have to lose this one!”
If he loses in a duel, there will be a period of banning.
If Adele loses, he will not be able to duel for a month and will not be challenged for a while.
In addition, if he loses under such public gaze, he will be banned for “Huh? Is he still incompetent?” people will think that he is still incompetent, or that the story about the Black Knight was a hoax.
It’s a nice idea, even for him. Adele can’t help but expand his nose.
“I don’t recommend that, Adele san”
However, his nose returns to normal when a voice calls out to him from behind.
When he turned around, he saw a girl with brown hair cut to her shoulders… and the second princess hiding behind her.
“Well, …… who are you?”
“My name is Serena. The princess behind me is ……I don’t need to introduce herself in terms of name recognition. I know you think it’s tactless, but I saw you trying to do something weird during the visit, so I had to intervene.”
Well, something strange? Adele tilts his head at Serena’s words.
“….. That reaction suggests you don’t know him. That man is ranked twenty-second, right?”
“Huh?”
“In other words, if you lose, Adele, you will be expelled from school.”
“What ……?!!”
Adele falls to his knees on the spot.
The worst thing is that even the brilliant idea that he came up with turned out to be nothing more than a one-way ticket to expulsion.
In the end, Adele has to defeat Raiga in public like this,…… sadly.
He has to win, even if the people around him might think that he was strong after all, or that they never thought that the disgrace was capable of such a feat.
He thought about running away and saying, “I can’t do this!” but some time tomorrow, he might say something like, “Why did you run away?!” It didn’t change the fact that he would have to do it sooner or later.
“How …… ruthless reality is towards me!!!”
The world was hard on Adele no matter how far he went.
“H-Hey…., why don’t you fight with him, Serena? Black Knight seems to be in trouble. at least replace him!”
“No, there is also a system called intrusion fighting, I don’t really mind that, but…I don’t think anyone who is more qualified will want to stand next.”
“Fufu, I’m the type of person who would turn my heart into a demon if I could see my master’s heroic side.”
“Wow, you’re a demon with a pretty face, rank two san.”
“No, I’m sure the master is happy that the third-ranked and the princess are concerned about him.”
Three beautiful girls were talking behind Adele.
Unfortunately, it did not reach the ears of Adele, who was cursed by the ruthless world.
[This year’s new students have a great life. It’s a duel from the first day of school.]
[I mean, that’s the brother of the head and deputy head, right? Are they okay?]
[Yes. …… As I recall, he’s a rare incompetent in the Marquise Astia family, isn’t he?]
[But the story is that he got first place in the entrance examinations…]
The buzz around them is gradually growing louder and louder.
Everyone seems to be concerned about the first-year students’ duel.
At that time, Adele, who was hitting the ground resentfully, was gently rubbed on the back by Mil, his sister.
“Are you alright, A-kun?”
“Nee san,…… it’s terrible, I didn’t do anything and the world keeps asking for me.”
“But don’t worry! I’ll be the witness!”
“I’m not the one who needs reassurance.”
“The knight club will take responsibility for healing even if he is injured! So feel free to beat that rude bastard up!”
“Not there either…”
Apparently, the escape route has been completely blocked.
Adele stood up vigorously as if he had blown it, seriously cursing the world.
“Ah, Mouu! All right, just do it, do it!”
Instead.
Adele extended black ivy from the ground, forming the shape of a sword as it was, and took it in his hand and pointed it at Raiga in the same way.
“You obstructed my self-indulgent life, I’ll seriously show no mercy …… and beat you up so bad you’ll want to go back to your mother’s tummy crying, you mongrel!”
Ah, the one with all the blood rushing to his head.
Elesia, who was watching in the background, laughed bitterly when she saw Adele use the symbolic magic of the ‘Black Knight’.
