The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 82: Me in the Duels (1)

The morning came quickly and now it is the time for the duels. Once these duels were completed, then the academy would announce the rankings of the first years. After that, it is holiday time. I can return home.

Mother has been pestering me for the past few days. She was afraid that I would go on an adventure or something like that. My second brother did that so.

He is considered fully adventurous. He like me has no chance at getting the title and has to create our own power. Though the family wouldn't abandon, it would be wise to not be controlled by the family. Though the support of the family is nice, it was best to keep some distance from their influence. They could only hinder growth.

So my dear brother thought that the holidays were better used to create his own power and didn't return home. What he found later was an angry mother who beat him, so that he wouldn't leave the house for a month. I am not going to piss my mother like that. She may appear like a calm person at home but not everyone knows how dangerous she could be if she wanted to.

When I learned about my mother's different side, I decided not to get to that side, no matter what.

Unlike yesterday, when we all gathered in the training grounds, this time it was at the duel arena. It was like a stadium on Earth. The playing ground is in the middle, while the audience is seated around the playing ground.

Here instead of playing ground, it was the Duel Arena, where the students would clash against each other.

After I appeared at this stadium, I took a seat alongside the Class 1-A in the audience stands.

At eight o'clock, a teacher appeared in the middle of the ground, "Yesterday, you took two tests and today is the last test of this Half-year assessment. Once it was done, based on the results, your position would be decided. If you want to get more resources, show your talent or forever make peace that you are mediocre".

"This is not a competition. So each student would only fight one and that means, that match would decide how you were evaluated. So do your best in that match. Also to make the matches fair, the opponents would not have no more than a single class difference".

The academy has already made the matches fair but reducing the chances of getting matched with higher class students who are way better than them. This was already the best that they could do, while also showing the students that luck is also an important factor in life and the students have to accept that.

Soon the matches started. The first ten matches began but all the students were from lower classes. There was no student form 1-A or 1-B. It was quite boring to watch.

Five rounds were completed and it was almost noon. The sixth-round students' names appeared on the board.

Next, the teacher started to announce the students of the next ten matches.

"Magnus Frostwolf Vs Dorian Halter"

...

...

Ah, it's finally my turn. I was getting bored watching others beat each other. I would like to train myself or rest, rather than watch these idiots trying to act powerful.

Sure there are a few people who are worth my attention but I watched all their monthly evaluations. There is not much change comparing them to now.

Anyway, I should complete the match quickly. I am quite hungry.

Wait a minute...Dorian Halter...isn't he that turd protagonist who tried to provoke me and failed a few months earlier?

Are the heavens pitting him against me on purpose?

Hmph, let's see how much the system is truly worth.
