Episode 662
The students were equally embarrassed when their friend was suddenly dragged into a social arena where dueling fanatics run rampant.
“Sleep… wait a minute. professor.”
Sianna hurriedly walked out.
Professor Boladi glanced at Siana. He wanted to hear what the student was saying.
“…Take him with you.”
“Priest Shianna…!”
Lee Han spoke in a voice full of betrayal.
They praised the Flemain Church so much!
“S-sorry. “I was so scared.”
‘I understand.’
Lee Han was very empathetic when he saw Siana get scared and run away from her friends.
I just witnessed Professor Boladi stabbing his junior and attacking Lee Han as if he were going to kill him. If he wasn’t scared, he wasn’t human.
“We have to think of a way. If we leave it like this, Wardanaz will be taken to the underground arena!”
“Duel Club is not an underground arena…”
“professor! Wardanaz’s leg is broken!”
Ratford took a cunning step forward.
After all, you wouldn’t take a student with a broken leg to the duel club.
Professor Boladi took one look at Lee Han’s leg and said calmly.
“You’re fine.”
“…There is nothing we can do about it now that it has come to this. “I have no choice but to actually break one.”
“I don’t think Lee Han will like it.”
“We can’t just leave it like this!”
The friends argued about whether Lee Han’s legs should be broken or his arms should be broken.
Professor Boladi, who was waiting, checked the time and said.
“Let’s talk about the rest as we go. “It takes time to get it all in.”
“……”
“…?”
The students paused.
Something was strange.
“Everything?”
“By everything… do you mean… all of us?”
The professor agreed. Gainando shouted in astonishment.
“Gyo… Professor. Unlike Lee Han, I don’t even listen to the professor’s lectures!”
‘Such a cowardly bastard.’
Lee Han grumbled inwardly as he watched Gai Nando trying to run away alone.
Of course, I understand that you’re scared, but you’re trying to run away so blatantly!
“Okay. It wouldn’t be fair if I introduced Wardanaz alone.”
Professor Boladi was surprisingly a person who paid a lot of attention to educational methods.
If it had been Professor Verdus, he would have taken Lee Han alone (he might not have taken him in the first place), but Professor Boladi thought it wasn’t very fair to take Lee Han to the duel club alone when he met other students during vacation.
Even though Lee Han is Professor Boladi’s student, wouldn’t the students be upset if he was given special treatment just because he was a student?
Just as I bought everyone a meal, I was planning on taking everyone to the duel club as well.
“…Oh, no. “It’s not that I want to go…”
Gainando was left speechless by Professor Boladi’s amazing ability to interpret ‘I’m not listening to the lecture’ as ‘I’m not listening to the lecture, can I go to the duel club too?’
When Lee Han saw that, he felt better for no reason.
‘Should I have let the others hear it too?’
* * *
The Flacher City Dueling Club was a relatively new club.
A club founded by several warlike lower-class nobles and duelists in the city, as well as merchants who smelled gold from them.
Still, the atmosphere wasn’t bad.
If the history is short, it tends to rely on luxury.
The merchants who invested in this dueling club generously sprinkled gold coins in order to get good results.
When I first arrived in front of the building, I was impressed by the duel club sign hanging above the door.
-Flacher City Dueling Club.
Even if there is no specific modifier, twisting gold and silver threads and applying light magic will give it class.
When I opened the heavy bronze door and went inside, the magic stone chandelier hanging from the ceiling was emitting warm light, and underneath it, I could see people gathering and talking in neatly divided areas.
Starting with the restaurant area, which sells simple sandwiches, rice balls, coffee and tea, and the area where club members gather to share recent events.
“So, I think Prince Bogajun…”
“You tend to worship the royal family too much!”
“What?! “Then are you an unscrupulous aristocrat or an independentist?”
“If you don’t take back what you just said, there will be a duel!”
And there is a duel area prepared for dignified duels and even stands for spectators to watch them from the sidelines.
The arena floor, made of magic-treated mahogany wood, was stronger than most shields, and the defensive force field blocking the stands was strong enough to block anyone from being bounced or blown away during the duel.
‘It’s not bad.’
Palga, who came from the Ukim family, a family of knights, and was now a third year student at Einrogard, was satisfied with the atmosphere of the duel club.
Compared to the harsh environment of the dueling club established by Einrogard students, this place was almost like heaven. Although it was a little flashy, it seemed like it would last for quite some time.
Palga planned to practice dueling here for the rest of the vacation.
A duel is basically an urgent fight that requires dozens of thoughts in less than a second.

As such, it was important to sharpen and polish my senses.
If I rested all vacation and returned home rusty, I could be laughed at by my dueling club friends.
“Who do you think will win today?”
“Well, Sir Celesse’s swordsmanship is clearly excellent, but the person who stands up to him, Gorang, is not easy.”
“I heard a rumor that he was a mercenary and his nickname was Razor Blade. Razor furrows.”
‘Sir Celesse, furrow. good.’
Palga’s last visit was 4 days ago.
In the meantime, I was worried that there would be new duelists showing up at the club. What is always dangerous in a duel is an unfamiliar opponent you are seeing for the first time.
But Sir Celesse and Furan were people I had seen before.
While resting, Palga has been preparing a strategy to fight against the two. Today, that preparation will definitely pay off.
“But who was that person yesterday?”
“Well, the Count said he was surprised and was looking for it. Isn’t this probably a famous duel? I really want it. “I never thought all the members would collapse!”
“Lord Celesse said he would definitely take revenge. “Aren’t you excited?”
“Well, I think he might get banned from the club. “If there was someone like that, would there be any members left?”
“What! They forbid entry because they are strong. “Are you saying you have no honor as a duelist?”
“No matter how good your reputation is, isn’t there a limit? “If you defeat everything like that every time, you won’t have any enemies.”
“…?”
Palga wondered what he was talking about.
Could it be that something happened while you were away?
‘Has a new duelist arrived? ‘What kind of person are you?’
Palga felt his heart pounding.
Some incompetent and cowardly duelists were reluctant to fight when an opponent stronger than them appeared.
But it wasn’t Palga.
Isn’t it a good thing that you can learn from someone who is stronger than you?
I decided to ask politely if it was a really strong opponent and took a slow step forward.
“Are you Lord Palga of the Ukim family?”
“yes. “But it is not an official article.”
“I know. We talked about it last week! “He was a student at Einrogard!”
“yes. you’re right.”
Palga gave a proud answer to the member’s words.
Einrogard students were the ones who cursed Einrogard the most in the empire, but that didn’t mean they lacked pride.
If you don’t have any sense of pride, how can you attend this school?
“Here, there are Einrogard students, what an amazing coincidence! “I’d like to introduce you!”
“?!”
Palga was surprised by the member’s words.
The empire may be small, but I never thought I would meet fellow Einrogard students here.
Dergyu and Lee Han, who were sitting in front of him, exchanged glances with awkward expressions.
-sorry. Lee Han.
-No… it’s not your fault.
While all the friends were dispersed in groups of twos and threes to look at the duel club, Lee Han and Dergyu were also looking at the duel club.
-Hey, can’t we set up a trap in advance? In case you get into a fight with the professor.
-…Lee Han…
-haha. I’m kidding. joke.
-Your eyes are no joke.
Meanwhile, a member suddenly spoke to me.
-Are you from the Choi family?
-Oh, that’s right.
-Hey! I come from the Aldar family…!
The duel club member from the Aldarl family was a relative of a distant relative of the Choi family.
However, in a club where people gathered for social purposes, this level of connection was almost like family.
In fact, this orc man really liked them and started buying them food.
-If you’re a student, it’s probably time to eat a lot. haha. Please eat. Please eat! This is what I live for.
-No… I can’t be treated like this by someone I met for the first time today…
-Can you bring me some more pancakes? ruler. Eat it. Aren’t you going to be hungry for a while?
-Well, we just had dinner…
– Eat more. You look very skinny!
Lee Han and Dergyu couldn’t bear to refuse the favor, so they started eating pancakes and sandwiches.
The good news was that the food at the club was delicious.
But Mr. Aldar did not end there. I recognized a passing Einrogard student and immediately spoke to him.
-Are you Lord Palga of the Ukim family?
And now.
Lee Han and Dergyu were sitting facing their senior with awkward expressions.
He smiled knowingly and filled the three cups with black tea with a lot of sugar.
“I really want it. It’s been a while since I ordered bacon and it still hasn’t arrived. “I’ll check it out for a moment.”
“There’s no need to do that…!”
Only after the orc man woke up were the three able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Palga realized that these two juniors were also half-forcibly captured, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
“It looks like you two were suddenly dragged in. Imperial clubs are like that. “People gather for social purposes, so if you make a mistake, you end up sitting in front of strangers you’ve never seen before.”
“I definitely felt it today. thank you This is the Durgyu of the Choi family. “My name is Lee Han.”
Lee Han secretly avoided the name of the Wardanaz family.
The name of the Wardanaz family was not very good for those who came from a knightly family.
“I am the eighth of the Ukim family. It turned out that they were White Tiger Top juniors. nice to meet.”
Palga smiled and welcomed the two.
Having the same tower was special even within Einroguard. From Palga’s point of view, it was worth welcoming.
“Sir, what were you doing here?”
“Einrogard Duel Club… Ah. I don’t mind telling you guys. Anyway, we will learn about the club starting next semester. I belong to the Einrogard Duel Club. “I came here to sharpen my senses through practice.”
“Are you not betting any money?”
Palga burst out laughing at the immature junior’s question.
“I guess I heard a false rumor somewhere? Not all duelists bet money. lets think. A duel is a sacred act in which two well-prepared people do their best to win. It would be difficult to get the win rate even slightly over half. “It’s not a good idea to bet big on a gamble like this.”
Palga told stories of duelists who bet their fortunes for fun and then went bankrupt in an instant.
Bad luck is bad luck, but in Palga’s opinion, their bad luck was clearly a punishment that came because they desecrated the sanctity of the duel.
But Lee Han only pretended to listen.
‘You can’t even make money and just enjoy dueling. The culture of the Einrogard Duel Club is very strange.’
“What were you doing here? “Have you come to duel training like me?”
“Oh, no. We came with the professor. “The professor said he would introduce a duel club.”
“You go with your professor during vacation!? “Why on earth would you do that?”
“haha. “We met together by chance.”
At Lee Han’s answer, Palga looked at his junior as if he felt sorry for him.
How unlucky would you be to meet a professor during vacation?
“Which professor are you?”
“Professor Bagrek.”
Boom!!!
Palga fell backwards with a loud sound.
