Chapter 64: The Bet
Brian is going to have a cadet duel with Tommy.
The news quickly spread throughout Odin Academy.
There are so many things to watch in this matchup. Why was Brian able to occupy a guaranteed place? What is his strength? It is rumored that the former dean Joseph also specially helped him with special training for a long time, could it be that there is something new in the academy?
But Leo's biggest question for Brian is, why did Brian come up with this 'thankless' cadet duel?
If he loses, then the prestige of the Joseph faction in the academy will plummet, and then the nobles led by the Rex family will definitely take advantage of this to lash out at Joseph and the others.
If you win, what if you get a lot of applause? It's just a matter of giving the next opponent enough information.
Sure enough, Brian and Tommy had just arrived at the stone platform specially built by the academy, and the surroundings were already full of students watching the excitement.
Leo easily saw many students in the crowd who had advanced to the next round of the selection competition.
Kaze, who is the first in the number of points of the first-year students, and Joshua, the elemental mage who was recruited in advance by the nobles of the imperial capital in the first branch......
Each of them was a genius student who had made a name for himself before the trainees' experience, and even Leo saw quite a few second- and third-year students from outside the crowd.
Leo has faith in Brian, but it's a different story if your enemies know you.
But no matter what, Brian has already deserved this matchup.
On the stone platform, Tommy looked at Brian with an indifferent face and said, "Haven't you thought about what will happen if you lose?"
"I never thought about it, I never thought about the impossible. Brian shrugged, uncharacteristically arrogant.
"Hey, hey, since you're so confident, why don't we add some more color?" Tommy said with an angry laugh.
In yesterday's selection competition, although he lost, he lost to a third-year student, and it was the other party who killed him, a first-year student who had just become a Silver Moon Mage, with the high recovery of the intermediate Silver Moon Mage.
So even if he lost, many students in the same grade were impressed by him, but they just lamented that he was unlucky and ran into a senior student.
But because of this, Tommy hates Brian even more for shit luck.
In Tommy's understanding, Brian was only lucky enough to accept Coyce's spot and became a temporary student from the academy faction of Joseph and others.
But if the guy thinks it's just that and wants to climb to the top, then Tommy thinks it's necessary to teach Brian a lesson instead of the others.
This academy, or this world, can't go far by luck.
"Color?" asked Brian, tilting his head and glancing at Tommy, confused.
"That's right. Tommy saw Brian take the bait, the corners of his mouth curled, and said, "But since you are willing to take this matchup, then you can raise the chips." Of course, don't talk about gold or anything, or I won't be able to lose face. ”
"That's right. Brian looked at Tommy, who was smiling, and pretended to think for a long time before pulling something out of his trouser pocket.
"I don't think I have much on me that you want, so let's bet on that, shall we?"
"Medal of Glory!"
Tommy couldn't help but say when he saw that Brian was actually taking out the Medal of Glory.
The Medal of Glory is specially issued by the Imperial Noble Heraldic Institute to those non-noble people who have contributed to the empire. As the name suggests, this medal represents the Empire's recognition of that person and the glory that he has received.
It can be said that if a commoner wants to become a nobleman or obtain a fief, the number of medals of honor of this person is a very important reference. But Brian is betting on this? Isn't this a complete defiance of the existence of the Imperial Araldic House?
Sure enough, when they saw Brian take out the Medal of Glory as a bet, many of the onlookers looked at Brian with a change in their eyes.
"Is this guy crazy? How dare he take this thing out and make a bet? Don't he know what this thing means?"
"Hehe, hey, I see that this guy's actions today will soon be known to the Imperial Noble Heraldic Academy! I'm afraid this guy will be blacklisted soon!"
Many of the students present had medals of honor, some of them received their first medals of honor from this student experience, and some of the senior students already had several medals. But no matter what, they cherish this honor very much.
But at this moment, Brian is like trampling their honor under his feet. This makes them how not to be angry.
Only Leo under the stone platform watched Brian's actions and was silent.
"Why? You didn't dare to ask for the lottery head now, did you?" Brian looked at Tommy with an arrogant look on his face, as if he hadn't noticed the deterioration of the people around him.
Tommy took a deep breath, already thinking about the gains and losses.
The matter of using the Medal of Glory as a color head was brought up by Brian, and even if he took it, it is estimated that the heraldic court would not be able to blame him on his head. And in addition to receiving a medal of honor, maybe the heraldic academy will secretly record the credit he taught Brian.
Thinking of this, Tommy also took out a medal of glory and replied, "Okay, I'll take the bet." ”
"Good. Brian put the medal away, then twisted his neck and said, "Then let's get started." ”
"Humph!" Tommy snorted, then crossed his fists in front of him and looked at Brian with a solemn expression.
Although he was dismissive of Brian, he would never take the enemy lightly when he faced the enemy.
Tommy's magic is the ability to simulate the bouncing ability of a kangaroo in the 'Variation System', which sounds extremely ordinary, but anyone who has fought Tommy knows how terrifying this explosive movement speed is.
In addition, Tommy's two arms are the 'Jinggang' magic of the enhanced system, and once Tommy is hit by the high-speed movement, he will be seriously injured even if he does not die.
Tommy's magic combination is no secret in the academy, so those who fight against him usually take some countermeasures, but Brian, who is standing on the stone platform, still stands in place with a stunned expression.
Didn't he know that the longer Tommy accumulated, the faster his burst would be?
Even a third-year student wouldn't dare to let Tommy accumulate his strength like this.
Many of the cadets who saw Brian as a future opponent couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh at their own unfounded worries.
"Hey, hey, you're looking for death!" At this time, Tommy's two feet had sunk into the stone platform, which was the most powerful he could do, and he was confident that even most of the third-graders couldn't dodge his blow!
And once hit by his state of speed, there is only one way to break your bones!
"Just come here. Brian stepped back with his right foot, lunged, and tucked his right fist at his waist, and said lightly to Tommy.
"Die!"
Tommy saw Brian's posture like this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and shouted violently, the person had already ejaculated!
"Bang!"
A big crater suddenly exploded from the place where Tommy was standing just now! Many first-year students could only see the afterimage of Tommy, and some timid female students couldn't help but cover their eyes.
But Brian didn't dodge or dodge, and his right fist shrunk around his waist was through the air, and he punched out!
Many students couldn't help but laugh at the birth when they saw Brian's posture, and they didn't understand what Brian's childish movements were for?
But Tommy, who was rushing forward, seemed to suddenly hit an indestructible wall, with a loud "bang", and then everyone only saw Tommy being knocked out at a faster speed than before, and fell heavily outside the stone platform, motionless!
