Book 12: Chapter 11: Declaration of a Duel Without Gloves

On the walkway outside the library building, Albert Flau Robelia Ridill, the third prince of the Ridill Kingdom, was standing on one leg.

"Is this really how you learn flying magic, Senior Dudley?"

"The most important thing in flying magic is balance sense! I want you to cross the walkway straight on one leg first."

Dudley said confidently to Albert, who had a doubtful look on his face.

Next to Albert, Patrick, who had no plans to learn flying magic, was hopping around on one leg with a smile.

"Prince Albert~, let's compete~"

"Hmm, that's what I want! Hop!"

The two boys hopped across the walkway but Albert stumbled and fell on his butt after just a few steps.

Patrick, who had gone a little ahead, looked back at Albert on one leg.

"Prince Albert~, are you okay~?"

"Damn it, Patrick! How dare you go ahead of your master!"

Albert shouted and Patrick tilted his head and looked at the senior division building instead of Albert.

"You're looking away while your master is talking! How dare you!"

"Umm~, there seems to be some ruckus in the senior division building~"

As he said, there seems to be some ruckus on the senior division side. As he looked, Albert found a tall redhead boy and a petite girl on his shoulder in the window of the first-floor corridor of the senior division building.

"What's that"

It was Monica Norton who was carried like a hunting prey.

"What's going on"

Monica seemed to be desperately resisting, but the boy didn't seem to care and went up the stairs in a good mood.

At that sight, Glenn groaned in a low voice.

"It's him!!"

Glenn groaned in a low voice unlike his usual cheerful self, and ran toward the school building.

Albert was stunned for a moment, but came to his senses and called out to Patrick.

"Patrick! We're going after them too!"

"On one leg~?"

"Run normally!"

"You can't run in the hallway~"

In the end, the two of them barely ran in a fast walk, following Glenn.

In the student council room, Cyril Ashley was irritated as he looked at the clock on the pillar. It was already time for the student council meeting, but Monica was nowhere to be seen.

"What is Treasurer Norton doing?"

"Well, she should know that there is a student council meeting today."

Neil muttered in a troubled tone, and Elliott urged him to start first.

When Bridget, who was silent, looked at Felix's words as if to guess, Felix looked at the door and said, "Oh?"

"I'll make you a silent ice statue."

Cyril glared at Hubert with his blue eyes, but Hubert still smiled confidently.

But suddenly his body wobbled. Someone jumped on him from behind.

"Let go of Monica!!"

It was Glenn Dudley who tackled Hubert. Apparently, he had accelerated with flying magic on the way.

Hubert staggered and Monica, who was on his shoulder, fell to the floor. But before Monica was slammed to the floor, someone caught her small body.

"Are you hurt? Miss Monica"

It was Roberto Vinkel who caught Monica with his muscular arms rolled up his sleeves despite being midwinter.

Monica seemed to be in a trance and didn't respond to Robert's voice. Robert frowned and said, "How pitiful"

Hubert slowly got up and cracked his neck, then looked at Felix, not Glenn or Robert or Cyril.

"Hey, an assault case happened right in front of the student council president are you going to keep quiet?"

"Assault case? You're saying something funny. This is a pure disciplinary action."

"Ho-ho?"

Hubert narrowed his eyes and looked around the room.

Cyril Ashley, who was preparing for the next magic, Glenn Dudley, who was about to jump on him, Roberto Vinkel, who was holding Monica and glaring at Hubert and finally Felix Ark Ridill.

"Then, I'll follow your style. Let's have a proper duel, shall we?"

"Duel?"

Felix replied coldly to Hubert, who waved his ring-covered hand and laughed, "Sorry, I don't have a glove to challenge you to a duel."

"You guys love to care about appearances, right? A duel for a woman. It's good, right? It's exciting, right? It's fun, right?"

It was clear that Hubert had no intention of backing down. Hubert would stick to his will and overcome the situation with violence, even if he was expelled.

On top of that, he proposed a compromise: a duel with rules.

"Let's have a magic duel. I'm alone on this side. You can have as many as you want. If I beat you all, Monica is mine. But if you win, I'll give up Monica Easy, right?"

Hubert's blatant provocation was met with an immediate response from Glenn and Robert.

"Bring it on!! This time I'll knock you down!"

"As a knight aspirant, and as a candidate for Miss Monica's fiance, I accept your challenge."

As Glenn and Robert became enthusiastic, Hubert grinned and looked up at Felix.

In this situation, where the hallway was also crowded with people, Felix couldn't back down if it got this heated. Hubert had anticipated that and challenged him to a duel.

Among the student council officers, there was only one person who could do a magic duel. Felix looked at Cyril.

"Vice President Cyril Ashley."

As Cyril responded with a yes,' Felix told him with the coldest face ever.

"It's an order. Win this duel We can't afford to lose our important treasurer."

"As you wish."

At that moment, it was decided that a duel for the student council Treasurer Monica Norton would take place.

Monica was no longer able to escape from reality into the world of numbers and kept asking herself why this was happening.
