Chapter 48 The Battle Of The Tower
"Guelph, you are the best!"
"Smash it! Show him that here, cheaters will not be spared!"
"Remake his portrait, Guelph!"
"You have to trim your face and make it unable to use this asset to seduce girls!"
"Yes, no mercy for someone who uses his status to pass the entrance test!"
"....
"....
*I dream where the persons are really brainless? * he did not know when such rumors have been circulating about him when he has just started classes. But one thing was certain for him, this Guelph who is with him in the arena is necessarily one of those who gave him such a low blow!
But why did he become the number one enemy of all the men in his class?
[Master, I think you'd better wash your name from its unfounded rumors. Otherwise, if his things get worse, you're not going to have a peaceful life at the tower!] Hélène, who heard her horrible accusations about her master, has lost her composure since Alvine's "soul realm". While waiting for her voice alone, Alvine could guess the reason for her anger.
*You don't have to worry about that Hélène, I'm sure this teacher won't be able to accuse me of having intimidated her students a little. * His smile was as wide as a clown.
If it were before, he may be disturbed to face so many hostilities, but he was no longer as naive as before. He saw only two groups in front of him, those who are neutral and those who needed a little trauma to no longer have the courage to stand up to him.
"If you're all ready, make sure to start!!" The teacher's voice resounded among the insults and mockery of the students.
"Hehe, you made fun of me last week by trapping me with the level crystals, if you hadn't hidden in the dungeon, I would have already taken my revenge." Whispered to him with anger. Because of Alvine, he had suffered a humiliation that had cost him a lot.
"You're not strong enough to force me to use magic. Therefore, I undertake to intimidate you a little without using mana." Alvine, with indifference.
"Hehe, I would kill you with my own hands!" He looked calm, but just with his dark-cyan aura breaking from his body, Alvine could feel his hostility towards him.
Guelph no longer wasted his time with unnecessary chatter, he made the first movement with his intermediate affinity, incanting his magic formula [Maleficence of the demonic kings]! A spell of curses that paralyzes his target for thirty seconds.
Alvine was still standing there, his arms crossed under his chest.
"Keke, an arrogant human species. Did you think you were special here? I'll show you why Brisht Tower is especially known for housing only geniuses!" He exclaimed, removing a heavy crimson sword from his space bag that was hung on his waist.
He locked Alvine and shot at him with his sword at a speed that was barely visible to most spectators and aimed at his shoulder to dismember him.
Just when his sword was a few centimeters from Alvine's forearm, he just slightly pivoted his body and avoided the crimson sword as if nothing had happened and clung to his neck with his right hand and slightly used his strength which was the equivalent of the strength of a warrior of spiritual rank.
Everything happened so quickly that no one could see Alvine's movements except the teacher who was in a state of disbelief.
Silence resonated in the classroom, the only voice that resonated was the agony of Guelph who struggled like a sheep between the clutches of a lion preparing for a feast after putting his paw on his target.
As for Alvine, as he had promised, he did not use any mana to subdue his opponent. The more Guelph struggled to incant a spell, the more Alvine tightened her grip on her neck. After about thirty seconds, Guelph struggled less and less until they eventually fainted!
"That's enough! The duel is over." The teacher intervened urgently to prevent Alvine from killing her target. He realized that this human was more ruthless than anyone in the class. At that very moment, she knew why the dean had asked her to monitor this student... he was a beast that would not hesitate to kill anyone who stood in his way.
Seeing the teacher's expression, he threw Guelph at the tables around them as if he were a training doll.
With a "Boom", Guelph lay under the broken tables like a lifeless corpse with his bloody face!
"Shit, go to hell!" It was not the voice of the teacher, but of Galph who was mad with rage with a trail of murderous aura that emerged from his body among the stride.
Unlike Guelph who was an intermediate mage, Galph was an advanced warrior! He had a light green aura that was filled with a thirst for blood. He sailed at a speed that was faster than Gelph's and ruthlessly aimed at Alvine's blow with his spear. His intentions were clear... kill Alvine without the slightest hesitation.
Murder was an act that frequently happens at the academy; but for students to kill each other, it will make a request for a duel to the death that will take place between the participants, otherwise whether the winner or loses it will not change the outcome that will await both sides... the execution capital as punishment!
Of course, everyone who attended the academy knew the rules, Alvine was no exception.
"Enough!" The teacher nailed Galph to the ground who was on the verge of piercing Alvine's throat with his spear just with her purplish aura! She was mad with rage when she saw the irresponsible actions of a model student like Galph.
"Galph, your brother lost his round in the rules! You do not have the right to intervene viciously! If you want a fight, you must first challenge your opponent!" She was not angry with Galph who had tried to take Alvine's life, but she was angry with the procedure! She had nothing against Alvine but Brisht's tower was a separate tower. It was a tower where the rules are not really different from that of the jungle, the strong govern the weak, a place where murders are no taboos as long as the rules are followed to the letter.
"It's good madam, if he wants to measure my strength, then it is so. I challenge all those who want to compete against me. Whether in a singular fight or in a group, whatever the terms of the duel, even those who want to fight to the death with me are welcome... during the battle of the tower!" Alvine affirmed in a provocative tone. He did not have the luxury of wasting his time with long speeches.
"What? He is crazy!"
"He really wants to participate in the battle of the tower?! He really lacks a box!"
"Tsk, forget this madman, he will soon be a corpse."
"What a waste to see such a handsome man sacrifice himself unnecessarily!"
"...
"...
He could hear the murmurs of the few girls who looked disappointed for their reasons, the cries of the anger of the students who took them for a crazy... and the teacher who had her eyes wide open and her lips trembling. But he didn't care about all this.
Since Helen's incident, he had set himself only one goal, it was to become very no matter what means he uses to achieve his goal!
Unlike other towers, the Brisht Tower was not only a tower that served as a place of learning, it was also the only tower that itself organized a particular event every ten years. This event is none other than the battle of the tower!
The battle of the tower is a duel to the death that will take place between the participants. The tower manages the ranking and rewards.
Its two elements seem insignificant, but the reality is quite different.
Once a candidate has registered in the battle of the tower, he will no longer be able to go back. Even if he is at the rank of beginner and his opponent is at the rank of the emperor... he will not be able to capitulate. No matter how much he flees to the end of the world, he will be teleported to the tower arena at the time of his duel! It was one of the mysteries of the tower.
As for the reward, the tower will strip candidates of their property and award them to the winner. That's not all, he will strip everything that belongs to the defeated: his magical energy, his vitality, his skills, his laws, and even his contracted beasts will be no exception! It was something so incredible even for people who live in a fantastic world. This is also the reason for the popularity of this event. All those who participate in this battle aim for only one thing the usurping skill of the tower, which increases their powers ten times faster as he wins the duel. And the greatest reward is the key to the immortal kingdom(Odin stone) that will be granted to the only victor.
But Alvine had a clear objective. He didn't care about the key to the immortal kingdom, he already had one in his possession. What interested him was the vital energy, laws, and skills he will get after each duel. Because of this factor, he was willing to risk his life to increase his strength on a large scale if will take place next month. He was sure that by coming out victorious in his trials, he will at least reach the emperor's kingdom!
But before that, he owes the problem he had left behind in his castle. Namely, those who subjected Hélène to such a fate!
And with Yuer's skills, he had a better idea to carry out his first revenge project!
