Next Day-
Morning 6 AM-
Allen was practicing his magic spell like always.
"Shadow Art!"
Swoosh!
With this chant, his body turned dark and flowed into the shadow of the tree and mixed with itself.
As long as one would not pay more attention to the shadow of the tree, no one would find out that one human hiding there.
This was how he sneak attack the Gorilo.
"Haaah!"
He took a deep breath and returned back to his human form.
"Now that I got closer to her, what should I do?"
He mumbled. He was single in his previous life and doesn't know much about a girl's heart.
"Should I give her a gift?"
He thought about that but quickly shook his head rejecting the idea. He saved her yesterday, and she would've to give him a gift for saving him. If he just give her a gift now, it would be like he was thanking her for her getting attacked by assassins.
"Hmm..."
He wracked his brain for ideas but gave up for now.
"I will think about it later."
He sighed and again practiced his spells.
"Telekinesis! Energy Blast!"
He was getting used to casting multiple spells. Well, it isn't rare for the mage to cast multiple spells at a time, but only the mage above Tier 5 was the one to perform this feat.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
It was time to get home.
Allen exited the forest.
"Oh..."
On the way, he met Hina, who was walking toward the building.
"Hey!"
Allen called out to her. It would be kind of weird to ignore her after saving her.
"Oh senior."
Hina walked toward him with a beautiful face that was devoid of any emotions. Her emotion the previous day seemed to be like an illusion.
"How are you?"
He asked.
"I am fine. Thank you for worrying about me. And also, thank you for saving me yesterday."
She bowed down and showed her gratitude.
Students passing by looked at them. They all had confusion in their eyes, while most of the boys had jealousy and envy.
'Why our angel is bowing down to him?!'
They all thought the same thing, but nobody walked toward them.
Until one young blond-haired man with a smile hiding his jealously walked towards them without any hesitation.
"Oh! What a coincidence to meet you, my lady."
He talked politely like how a noble should talk. But for Allen, he thought he was sticking the dialogue of some historical movie.
"Umm..." Hina showed a troubled expression. "W-Who are you?"
Shock!
Students looked at the blonde hair with pity in their eyes, while some tried their best to hold down the laughter.
Allen looked at the boy like he was some clown. His lips trembled and a smile formed.
The blonde hair guy had a surprised face. He was stunned but he quickly return back to his sense.
"I didn't think that my lady would forget about me..."
'This is too cringy!'
Allen thought.
Seeing the sad face of blond hair guy, Allen had mixed emotions. Like what should he do? Laugh at him, or comfort him saying he would go to a circus to be a clown.
He was agonizing, should he directly laugh at him or contribute to the society by recruiting him to a circus.
Because for Allen, this guy was nothing more than a clown.
"Sorry?"
Hina titled her head and apologized.
"Ahem! My name is Harry Luke. I am the youngest son of the family head."
He introduced himself.
"Oh! I am Hina Liyer. I am not related to main family."
She pulled her robe a little bit high and bowed slightly showing a dignified greeting.
Allen was quiet. He didn't want to mix up in this.
"And who would this gentleman be?"
He looked at Allen and asked.
"I am Allen Lin. Nice to meet you."
He said in a monotonous tone. He didn't have any intention of acting like that clown.
"Oh!"
The blond hair guy exclaimed. A small smile formed on his face.
"Aren't you famous here? I think you had a title. What was it?"
Harry acted innocent despite knowing about Allen. He wanted to insult him for making his girl bow to him like that.
Actually, he was also enraged that she talked with him causally, when he had to force himself to talk with her in a good tone and still don't get many replies.
"Really? Am I that famous enough to get a title? Maybe the title is, The Handsome Man of The Academy!"
"Pfft!"
Hearing the words of Allen, Hina burst out in laughter but quickly calm down. Other students looked at him in a daze, thinking what the hell is that guy talking about.
But nobody refuted.
Tier 3 mana flowed out from his body stunning everybody present there.
'The Tier 0 trash has become Tier 3 Mage! Monster!'
Everybody whispered to themselves.
The most stunned in this place was Harry. He wanted to insult Allen, but now he didn't have any basis too.
He was also a Tier 3 mage. But he felt the mana of Allen is stronger than his.
The trash who was only Tier 0 two weeks ago is now a Tier 3 mage. What the heck?!
He thought that.
Who in the world could breakthrough 3 Tier in just two weeks!
Nobody was reconciled.
"Haha... You may be right..."
Harry couldn't refute his statement. Well, Allen wasn't the most handsome, but since he is now stronger than them, they could only accept it.
"Senior, let's go. There are many people here."
Hina tugged Allen's sleeves and said in a soft voice.
'Wha?!'
Harry was enraged. He was also a second-hair, but Hina never even called his name, let alone call him something sweet like a senior.
She didn't even give him any respect.
But he was also a junior in front of Allen.
Suddenly, a plan surfaced in Harry's mind, and a dark smile formed.
"Senior!"
Allen was stunned for a moment when he heard 'senior' coming from the disgusting mouth of Harry. He coughed and looked at Harry.
"Yes... JUNIOR."
He smiled. His smile was somewhat scary.
"Haha... Why don't senior give me some pointer."
"Ohh. Are you challenging me in a duel?"
"Yes, that is one way to put it. But this duel will be a little special."
"Special?"
"Yeah! How about we just diss the stuff like magic and fight hand to hand!'
"!!"
Hina's eyes widen, and she looked at Harry's face dumbfounded. Others also looked at him with surprise.
Who the hell fight with a fist in Mage Academy?! This isn't Fighter Academy, dude!"
This was a stupid idea. Stupid was beyond word, in the mage academy where magic comes at the top, Harry is challenging Allen to a fistfight.
Harry was confident in his ability. He was taught martial arts when he was little so he could protect himself in case he couldn't use magic.
Allen thought for a second. "Sure."
He accepted it without giving it much thought.
Again, everyone was surprised.
Is this a surprise day?
They couldn't count how much they have been surprised just today.
And just like that, a duel was going to take place in Mage Academy.
