Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 515 First Duels

?

[OP: ]

"I'm Carla, nice to meet you famous ones."

She was smiling but there was confusion in the area around them.

The students who witnessed this scene, something not unbelievable but so rare that they didn't expect it, and it was even more strange considering the kind of person Carla was in their eyes.

Carla Helios, the eldest of the house of Heliox, the rulers of the northern seas.

In the eyes of other students, she wasn't the kind of person that would first approach the person and she had almost avoided interacting with those she didn't know or those that she had never met even though they may be famous people that everyone knew about.

In the small time they had been here, this was the first time she approached someone herself first, and the ones she approached were also some of the most strange people among the students of this academy.

And she was smiling too… something they were seeing for the first time. So for the spectators, things were strange right now. 

But as soon as Alfred, her brother, their brother actually, came there and saw his big sister talking with those two certain people, there was a subtle shock on his face that almost none of them noticed, which was followed by an even faint expression of sadness, which probably only Princess Isabella noticed for some strange reason.

But it vanished right away so she just shook her head thinking it was her misunderstanding.

He was good at controlling his emotions and she didn't know that. And she wouldn't know that for a while.

"Hello, lady Carla. It is an honor to make your acquaintance. I'm Lucifer and this-"

"I'm Uriel~! Nice to meet you too~."

Carla was extending her hand for a handshake but Rein just grabbed it and shook it with excitement and many students, mostly males of course, were either angry at this girl that was only a random commoner in their eyes or were having some weird thoughts as they looked at the two of them.

But their weird thoughts were understandable as even after the disguise, she was on the attractive side, and even in her modest clothing, there was nothing they couldn't actually hate about her physically.

In fact, if not for her openly announcing she was already taken, people might have approached her as well… and some will probably approach her too, and she will have fun watching what happens after that.

Anyway, Carla was caught off guard by her behavior but that helpless look on her brother's face made her certain that there was nothing wrong with what she did.

And she hadn't done anything foolish just yet. She had planned things from the moment she saw them. And her plan was starting right now.

"Hahaha. Yes. I wasn't going to but since it was you, I thought why not?"

The half-dwarf teacher of class (I) walked in after the large training grounds were crowded with the students and with him was the teacher of class (B), another person bigger than him with as strong looking muscles as him.

But, he was an Orc, the race specialized in combat.

And as soon as everyone saw them, the crowd that was talking, shouting, admiring the wall filled with weapons and other facilities, or watching the three of their house captains greeting each other, quieted down and looked at their teachers.

"Alright."

Their teachers also looked at them, smiling.

"Hello everyone." Their other teacher, the famous orc hero Sir Scarth, greeted them with a warm smile that, just like class (B)'s class teacher, was special.

He had a special attractive aura around him and even though it was different from the mother-like aura of their class teacher, he was someone with a green skin tone, unlike their teacher's tale-colored skin, so this attractive aura, just like the person beside him, was charismatic, something few like them possessed.

"We weren't planning this and it is your first day too so we didn't think we would do it but both of us got classes at the same time, so we decided why not? It would be double fun having a combined class with a special batch like yours."

His eyes were glowing green and there was a scar on the left side of his manly face, his beard was light and trimmed unlike the teacher beside him, his attractive hair had a few strands of white, and his pointed orc ears only enhanced his good looks and sharp jawline, and those two teeth visible outside his mouth were pretty small so they were negligible before his handsome face.

His looks were more on the human side, probably a result of his natural evolution from his basic racial state. But he was amazing, and he was also just as famous as the person beside him in a way.

"Alright then…"

One was a king-ranked swordsman, a half-dwarf that had single-handedly fended off a frenzied Drake and saved his small kingdom, protected the people there, and then used his golden sword and unbelievable explosive strength to drive off many other dangers throughout the west; the other was a retired hero of Bairian, the Orc planet in our nearby solar system.

He was a special person in that academy among the many other special people and if their teacher Sir Frór was famous on Maginet for his pet wolves and unique way of addressing his class, then their teacher Sir Scarth was famous for his holy sword and multiple rumored affairs with famous ladies of the northern continent.

But there was no factual information so for now, they were all just rumours…

"Listen up everyone."

Anyway, this was their first ever combined class on their first ever day, so these practical teachers were naturally not going to teach them complicated theoretical things. For this class, they all can go and have fun.

"This is a pretty good place so we decided you can use it however you want for today. The two of us will just sit back and instruct the ones we find fun.

You can use the things here, including the weapons on that wall, but you can't take them. It's not possible anyway.

You can use the different facilities, not do anything if you don't want, or use the duel arenas to fight and learn from your classmates.

This is a combined class and both of us specialize in wielding a sword so the sword users will get a helpful review from both of us. But mages and others have nothing to be discouraged. We know about other weapons, magic, and fighting styles more than enough to help you all.

Alright. Lastly, for those using the duel arena, make sure you choose a proper opponent. 

Use of Aura or magic above (tier-2) is not allowed since this is just your first duel. This isn't a place for bullying others so if we think what you are doing is not good for your opponent then you will be asked to leave this place."

He stopped and looked at the hundreds of students before him.

They were all smart enough to understand what he meant so after a good look at their unique faces, reactions to a few unique ones among them, and with a smile on his face, Sir Scarth nodded at them and at Sir Frór.

"Alright~! Go, everyone. Play and be hungry enough to eat a lot during your break after this!"

"SIR YES SIR!!!"

Not only the students from class (I), but many from class (B) also shouted that, shaking the room with their grand voices.

But even among all of them, the girl from earlier, the one that was previously the loudest in the class (I), Eon's Uriel, was still the loudest.

And as soon as their loud shouts finished, and everyone shouted in a loud voice, the loudest one, Uriel, ran straight towards a certain person on the other side of the room, leaving her darling and Carla, and attracting the attention of all the students and teachers.

"Hello, mister Alpha!" She shouted as she greeted the house captain of the [True dragon] with an excited smile on her face and he looked at her with a surprised look as she approached him out of the blue.

And even before he had the chance to understand what was happening, she stood up straight and shouted again.

"Let's have a duel!"

And as soon as she said that, students thought the entire room looked at her with shocked expressions, especially the ones from her own class who knew that he was a [Rank-4] knight and (tier-4) mage.

There were few who could be a match for him in this place right now, but she certainly wasn't one of them. At least, they didn't think she was.

But, her request was out of the blue and, truthfully, he didn't dislike that.

"It would be my pleasure."

He quickly accepted her out-of-the-blue request in a gentlemanly manner with a bow and earned a chaotic reaction from his fellow students.

But the two teachers who quietly watched over them from the balcony area above them were smiling, excited to see what the two house captains of this time would show them in their first-ever duel.

"Fool."

Eon, Lucifer in this place, smiled as he looked at her overexcited, childish expression that she couldn't show this openly when she is acting as the representative of Atraxia. He loved her seeing free like that.

"She got her opponent, so…"

Carla looked at him, and he looked at her with a look that screamed 'if they really had to do this'. And her unchanged smiling face was enough answer for him.

"Can I have a duel?"

She asked with a polite bow, stealing the eyes that were focused on the two of them.

"Haaa…"

And instead of being flustered, shocked, or excited that the great Carla Heliox asked him for a duel personally, he sighed and just nodded as if this was no big deal.

This ignorant behavior enraged some of them even more than it angered them that some commoner girl just out of the blue asked for a duel with the amazing house captain of their greatest house.

That was disrespect and that disrespect towards their house captain was the disrespect towards all of them.

They would pay for that kind of behavior, they would make them pay… or what many of them were thinking before the two of their duels took place.

Their reactions were impulsive at that time, and that impulse calmed down, by the end-, no, by the midway through their fights.

And though both of their duels only lasted for a short while… the first ever duels that took place on that training ground, the duel between the house captains of [True dragon] and [Dark society], as well as vice-captains of [Wisdom phoenix] and [Aqua mirror], was unexpectedly grand even from the point of view of their amazing teachers…
