Chapter 135 Challenge!
Chapter 135 Challenge!
"Wow buddy, you got so many Merit Points. Amazing…" Ben said, as his eyes looked at Luis with admiration.
Alicia on the side said with a slight frown, "If I hadn't wasted so much time looking for you, then maybe I could have reached 200 kills, too."
Luis didn't deny her statement. He knows Alicia's strength well and, in the test, Alicia ignored most of her opponents and only eliminated those who attacked her. If she had aggressively attacked the opponents, increasing her kill count instead of looking for him, then maybe she could have fulfilled the condition for the hidden bonus.
"It's just a possibility. Moreover, maybe and ifs can't change the past." Luis said with a shrug, which made Alicia pout.
"Hmph, who knows there might be a way to change the past, too," Alicia said with a snort.
Luis smiled and asked teasingly, "You want to change the past just to get Merit Points?"
When she heard his question. Alicia blushed slightly and snorted, turning her head away.
Seeing her actions, Luis wanted to tease her more, but thinking that they were still inside the classroom, he restrained himself and comforted her, "Alicia, you just lost one opportunity. Didn't you hear what Professor Olivia said? In the future, we will have a lot of opportunities to obtain merit points. Just make the best of it then."
Hearing this, Alicia nodded with an 'um', but she still didn't face him.
Ben, on the side, was ignored and had to see the two of them flirt. Seeing them together made him think that having a girlfriend seems good. 'Maybe I should get buddy's opinion later. He seems like an experienced person. He has such a beautiful fiancée, after all.' Thinking of this, Ben's admiration for Luis increased further.
Luis was about to say something to Alicia but paused when he felt someone's intent gaze on him.
He turned his head to look at the source of that gaze and couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw the familiar person approaching him.
'Interesting! I was still thinking of when to approach you, but you came to me first… Diana Tres.'
---
In search of a powerful opponent in her class, Diana turned to look in the back row and her eyes fell on Luis and Alicia.
'YES! Why should I look for other opponents when I have the two of them in my class?!'
She has seen their match after her elimination, so she knows they are strong and are the perfect opponents she was looking for.
So, without wasting any time, Diana stood up excitedly and decided to challenge them to a duel.
---
Luis curiously observed Diana, who was standing near them and staring back at them with an excited expression on her face.
Alicia's previous shyness had disappeared as she looked at the Beast-Kin girl in front of her with a frown on her face. Confused about her purpose for approaching them.
At this moment, the other students in the class were also giving them curious glances. Wondering about the purpose of the fifth-rank student in approaching the top two students.
Diana didn't care about the gazes she was receiving. Pointing her finger at Luis, she said with an excited smile. "I challenge you to a duel!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As soon as she stated that. All the students became excited, wondering if they would get to see the confrontation between two S-grade students.
'I thought as much,' Luis said inwardly, not surprised by her challenge. But before he could give her a reply, Alicia asked first. "Why are you challenging him?"
Alicia wondered if this Beast-Kin girl had some ulterior motive behind this challenge. Thinking of this, her frown deepened as she looked at her inquisitively. If Luis knew about Alicia's doubtful thoughts at this moment, he would be speechless. After all, Diana is the most straightforward person among all the heroines.
Diana's excited eyes shifted to Alicia as she answered, "Because he is strong! I'll challenge you too after I fight with him!"
When she saw her eyes full of battle intent, Alicia's frown eased a bit. 'Maybe I was thinking too much.' She didn't respond to Diana's later statement and turned to look at Luis, wondering what he would do.
Luis nodded at Diana and said, "I accept your challenge! I'm also curious to know how amazing your Jungle Karate is!"
When she heard him mention her 'Jungle Karate', Diana became even more excited. "As expected of the opponent I chose! You know about my strengths!"
Luis just smiled and didn't comment on it because he was receiving a dangerous glare from his side. He turned to Alicia and gestured to her that he would explain later, which made her calm down, but her expression remained cold.
"Okay, let's fight!" Diana said, taking on a fighting stance.
Luis gave her a blank look and said, "Not here. Let's go fight on the training ground."
Diana thought about it and felt maybe it really was inappropriate to duel inside the class. So, she promptly agreed. To her, the location doesn't matter, all she wants is a good fight.
With that, Luis, Alicia, Diana and Ben left the classroom, followed by the crowd of curious classmates.
"Did you hear that?! They are going to battle!"
"It's going to be exciting!"
"Is it okay to follow them?"
"Of course, a duel needs to have an audience."
"Yeah, you are right."
Seeing this crowd of students from Leviathan class together, a professor became curious and got to know about the matter of the duel.
So, he immediately tapped on his mana bracelet and made a call.
[Yes Professor, why did you call me?] Professor Olivia's hologram appeared on the professor's mana bracelet.
"Professor Olivia, something interesting is transpiring among the students of your class." The professor said with a smile.
Upon hearing that it pertained to students from her class, Olivia's curiosity piqued, and she eagerly inquired, [What do you mean?]
"It's like this…" The professor didn't hold back and explained the matter. This way, Olivia also got to know about this duel between her two students.
