"I've wanted to deal with that Evil Creature as well. However, you somehow killed it first… Let's fight instead so I can at least tell how strong that Creature was." Wilfred said as he tried to find a reason for inviting Vale into a fight.
It was quite a ridiculous reason but the others who are listening didn't mind it at all. They were excited to watch a duel between the two guys.
"I don't think that's necessary. The Serenity Hall will surely place another Evil Creature there. Just wait for some time and fight against it if you want to prove yourself."
Before Vale can answer, Leonore already spoke for him. Although she wasn't sure how long will it take to replace the creature, it will certainly happen since the Serenity Hall was built exactly for that.
Her attempt to defend Vale irritated Wilfred even more. After all, he wanted to show how he was more capable than Vale in front of her!
Now, his desire to deal with Vale increased further.
"Are you afraid? Do I have to put a handicap so you'll agree?" Wilfred taunted Vale instead of answering Leonore.
Vale was momentarily speechless at this sudden turn of events but he still replied with confidence.
"I'm not. I just don't think it's necessary. I don't think I can win against you." Vale's reply surprised many of the students who were listening. He would actually admit defeat instead of fighting like a man!
Many of them were disappointed after seeing Vale's unwillingness to fight. Those who were thinking about betting on Vale started thinking it over.
'Perhaps, he was really afraid so he doesn't want to fight?' Some of them thought as they looked at Vale while shaking their heads.
Some of them were also thinking that the rumors that he killed the Creature were an exaggeration. Perhaps, he was only able to get the last hit before it dies. The credit must also go to the nine other students who were his teammates at that time.
'Tsk!'
Wilfred would probably be happy with Vale's reply if it was in the past but the fact that Leonore seems to be interested in Vale kept him irritated.
In the end, he decided to change his tactic.
"If you win our duel, I'll give you a scroll containing a mid-grade Tier 2 Spell Model, it's called Dark Familiar Summoning Spell. I'll even add the Darkness Pill for you. You may be lacking to use it now but it will help you someday if you reached the requirement… You'll have to earn at least 15 Contribution Points in the Academy if you want to learn this."
As soon as Wilfred made this offer, everyone in the cafeteria gasped in shock.
"A Summoning Spell! I want one too!"
"Is he even allowed to provide him a copy of that spell? Isn't that something that his family gave to him?"
"Hmph… He's rich, why do you care about it?"
"Can I also accept this duel?"
"You wish! You have four pathetic Spirit Strands. Wilfred has at least ten Spirit Strands. He's in the Rankers Club, have you forgotten?"
The others couldn't help but show their desire to obtain the Dark Spell Scroll.
The Academy doesn't prohibit other students from acquiring Spell Scrolls outside. However, you would have to take the risk in case there is a problem with the Spell Model that was recorded on the scroll.
Aside from that, the scroll itself might even have problems. After all, storing the design of the spell model inside the scroll can not be done by ordinary people. A certain Arcane Art is needed to do this and if the one who created the scroll has evil intentions, you may not even see the stored spell model and get cursed instead.
Nevertheless, since the scroll came from Wilfred Moontomb, no one was doubting its legitimacy and everyone wanted to obtain it. There was no way the Moontomb Clan would give a dangerous Spell Scroll to one of their heirs.
Vale hesitated as he knew very well how important that scroll can be. Even if he doesn't want to learn the spell, he can still sell this scroll for a huge sum of money.
It might even be his chance to obtain a Mystical Item for himself! Although he had saved a lot of money, it wasn't enough to purchase a decent Mystical Item.
'This guy is too desperate…' Vale thought as he sighed inwardly.
Leonore also kept her silence since Wilfred's offer is too enticing…
Seeing that Vale was already hesitating, Wilfred couldn't help but smile… He knows that Vale would agree in this fight even if he's not confident of winning.
Wilfred knows how the poor act…
As expected, Vale finally changed his stance.
"Alright… I will accept the duel… However, what will I do if I lose?" Vale asked.
"Nothing… You don't have to give me anything. Winning against you isn't a huge achievement anyway…" Wilfred proudly said as Vale couldn't help but appreciate how good this kid was in terms of provoking people.
If he hasn't transmigrated, he would probably fall into his provocation and act like a hot-blooded youth.
"Let's schedule a duel in one of the arenas then. I can do it for you. The Third Arena should be free on Sunday afternoon. Is that alright with you?" Vale asked.
Since he saw the schedule of duels posted in the bulletin a while ago, he knows that Sunday was relatively free.
"Sunday afternoon? Very well. I accept that." Wilfred nodded with a smirk on his face.
Since plenty of people witnessed and heard their conversation, Vale's reputation would be at rock bottom if he ever run away from the duel.
In short, whether Vale will attend the duel or not, Wilfred believes that it was already his win!
Soon, the news of their duel spread throughout the four First Year Classes.
It was a duel between the student with the highest Spirit Strand and a member of the mysterious and powerful Moontomb Family!
