Evil Dragon: Abducting Princesses Starting Today - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: I! The Son of the Duke has Issued a Challenge to You!

A Battle of spells!

In a battle of spells, both sides could only use instantaneous chanting spells because they were in the Gustav Academy of Magic.

As for mages, they usually needed to reach the next stage before they could chant a level-one spell without spells.

In other words, neither side was allowed to use the Level-1 spell.

When Anna heard Scola’s shameless speech, her first thought was to pull John away and head to the dean’s office.

“John, don’t listen to them. Scola is just jealous of you. The use of spells in actual combat is not allowed in the acaademy. You have just arrived at the academy on the second day. There is no need for you to agree to his request.”

After seeing the look in John’s eyes, Anna quickly advised him. Regardless of whether he won, Scola was definitely the one who would benefit.

That was because he was the son of the Duke. As long as he was injured, the Duke would definitely not sit idly by. It would unquestionably affect John’s school life.

On the other hand, if John lost, the impact would be imaginable.

The key was that if John lost, he would most likely suffer unimaginable setbacks in his future path of magic because of this!

This was what Anna was concerned about!

How many genius mages had their path of magic stagnated for years because of the blow they received in the duel?

There were too many of them!

On the other hand, Scola looked smugly at John. If John rejected him, then the reputation of being a genius would not live up to its name.

As the son of the Duke and Cook’s mentor, he could spread the news that John did not dare to take up his challenge.

In short, no matter what choice John made, it would only benefit him!

Just when the three thought that John would reject them, they saw that John took a step forward and looked at the two people in front of him.

“Even if I’ve only learned magic for one day, you’re still no match for me in terms of magic attainments. If you don’t want to get injured, then get out of my sight.”

“The talent that you’re so proud of is as laughable as an ant in front of me!”

“You’re not worthy of sparring with me in actual combat.”

Everyone got goose bumps from hearing his words.

Even the so-called “friends” who had spoken up for John only had one word to say about him.

Arrogant!

Although Scola’s strength was inferior to Tish’s, he was second only to Tish among the current students!

His affinity with lightning attribute magic was as high as 45%!

Such a person who was close to a top-tier genius was just an ant in front of John!

At this moment, even Cook’s expression changed slightly.

He did not expect John to be so arrogant when he could only use magic!

“Brother John is too handsome!”

“Who is this person called Scola? He is really annoying!”

“He is the son of the Duke. Let’s keep our voices down. I think brother John might have offended him. Let’s not get into trouble. It’s normal for people like him to be annoying.”

“…”

“Shut up!”

With Scola’s roar, the discussion gradually quieted down.

He really did not expect that as the son of the Duke, he would be treated like this one day!

When he looked at John again, he saw that he and Anna were already preparing to leave.

Anna praised John’s wit and courage from time to time, and they walked together in the direction of the Dean’s office.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind.

“If that’s the case, then can it be considered that John has agreed to this magical battle?”

Cook clapped while laughing. At the same time, four red square barriers rose around the four of them!

Then, Cook looked at Scola beside him and asked,

“Scola, are you really afraid, just like John Said?”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Scola replied,

“How is that possible, sir? Since John has agreed, then we should be able to have our first magical battle.”

“Hey, how can you do this? Aren’t you afraid that the Dean will blame us?”

Anna couldn’t hold it in anymore. She even wanted to curse at Cook.

As a student, it was one thing for Scola to do that, but as a teacher and a role model, how could Cook do such a thing?

John looked at the barrier around him. There was no sign of weakness on his face. As long as he wanted to transform into a dragon, he could immediately break this barrier that was like a Cicada’s wing.

Of course, for others, such as teacher Anna, it would not be so easy.

No matter how Anna used her magic, it could not cause any harm to the barrier.

“How about this, Miss Anna? Just now, John has also agreed to the actual combat test. Why don’t we go out and watch the battle first?”

With that, Cook walked out of the barrier with a smile and opened a gap in front of Anna.

Anna, who was ready to use magic to hit the barrier, suddenly ran out because of inertia. By the time she realized that something was wrong, the barrier had already been restored and blocked in front of her.

“In this magic duel, you are not allowed to use close combator magic spells. Anyone who breaks the rules will lose.”

“Let the duel begin.”

Cook began to announce the rules of the challenge.

John did not have any thoughts about it. In his opinion, this was just a small fight.

On the contrary, it might attract Tish’s attention and increase his loyalty.

As expected.

At this time, voices of questioning came from outside.

“Cook! What’s going on?”

“Why did you agree to the duel between Scola and John? !”

The source of the voice was Tish. Through the transparent barrier, John could clearly see Tish.

Cook bent down slightly, he replied respectfully, “Your Highness, this is just a real magical battle. Furthermore, John has already agreed to it. The academy has clearly stated that after both parties agree, they can engage in a real battle within the academy.”

“Princess Tish should be very clear about this. Moreover, Miss Anna is too nervous. When did the actual battle between students become a private battle? This is clearly an official duel.”

The two of them were rendered speechless.

A personal tutor of a late-stage archmage was fighting against a newcomer who had just entered the academy for a day.

And he was only allowed to use non-chanting magic. This was obviously bullying!

However, when the two of them subconsciously looked at Amy, they found that there was no trace of panic on her face.

Others might not know John’s strength, but Amy had witnessed it with her own eyes!

Even an earth knight and thousands of sub-dragons would submit to him, let alone a late-stage archmage!

At this moment, a voice came from inside the enchantment.

Inside the enchantment, John yawned out of boredom. On the other side, Scola issued a challenge to John with a serious look.

“Scola Goodell, son of the Duke of Gustav City-state, officially issued a challenge to you today!”

“Do you dare to accept my challenge under the witness of the god of Magic?”
