We left the circle, which is the duel arena and sit back on the chairs that they had provided for us...
Lerrich is still inside the circle, and open the field for anyone who wants to challenge him...
But no one dare to challenge him...
"Hey Nico... go and challenge him..." Euclio said
"W-What? Why me?" I said in panicked
Why not Euclio himself?
"Because you are the only one that can win against him..." Euclio said
Erin looked at me seriously... also Rin...
He looks really sad...
Should I jump into the battle?
"Anyone?" Lerrich shouted to the crowd...
But then the crowd shouted my name...
"Nicolas!!"
"Nicolas can do it!"
Now I feel really uncomfortable
Especially when Lerrich looked at me after the people shouted my name...
And now, the audience is in rimes...
"Nicolas! Nicolas! Nicolas!" they shouted my name...
I looked at Euclio and he smiled back...
He didn't plan this right?
"N-No... I can't..." I said
"Please win the duel..." Rin said to me with sad face...
Rin...
Stop the puppy face...
"Fine..." I said
"I do it only because of you guys..." I said
"Yeah! Use your ultimate skill at once! And he won't be able to dodge... trust me!" Euclio said to me...
I looked back at him...
"Are you sure he won't be able to dodge it?" I asked
And Euclio nodded...
"Okay, if he could dodge it, you owe me..." I said and step forward...
I heard Euclio agrees and I faced Lerrich
Seeing me walking to the circle, the crowds become loud again...
And Lerrich looked at me with surprised...
Also sad face...
"I should have charge the audience more money if you are the opponent..." Lerrich said with sad face...
H-He thinks about money?!
"Hehe, I never thought about fighting against you in a duel..." I said
"No problem... but I think I have a bad feeling about this match..." Lerrich said
"But I won't back down, since I am the one that open the challenge..." Lerrich said and he prepared his stance... a spear is on his right hand...
Petra become the judge...
"Both sides ready?" Petra asked...
I prepare my distance... also I unsheathed my sword...
Everyone looked at the sword of mine...
"H-He is a swordsman?!"
"I thought he is a High Elementalist..."
"Hey, the sword is pretty..."
