"I wish to challenge you to a duel, Merlin."
Upon hearing Leon's words, Merlin's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Leon.
"What did you just say? You're challenging me to a fight?" Merlin asked, his voice tinged with doubt and uncertainty.
Leon nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Yes, I'm challenging you to a fight," Leon replied nonchalantly, a hint of arrogance in his tone. "So, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
To deal with someone as arrogant and pretentious as Merlin, the optimal strategy was to defeat him so harshly that he'd be forced to acknowledge that there was always someone greater.
Additionally, Leon was annoyed with Merlin for daring to tease Liliana, and this challenge was the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Upon receiving Leon's confirmation, Merlin's hesitant expression instantly turned into one of excitement, a smirk forming on his lips.
