Until we reach our classroom, [Eleonor] happily grabs my right arm while walking.

"I don't really get you."

"You don't have to. You'll know it one day.~"

"Haahh..."

I'll let it slip for now. Rather than a friend, she acts like a spoiled little sister who wants to be spoiled by his brother.

As we enter the room, all of the students have finished their energy measurement. Then Ms. [Dianne] says:

"Are you alright? Don't take it too seriously okay? If you focus on training your body, you'll be a great person someday."

I bowed as thanks for her encouragement. Then she says towards the whole class.

"And you guys! For laughing on someone just because his energy is low is just ridiculous. Instead of encouraging him, what did you do? You insulted him and tried to discourage him. Because of that, i'm only giving him the energy pill that I would have distributed among you. Until you guys repent, i'll never give on to you."

Then he hands me a big candy.

"This candy gives you exponential rise of your energy, depending on your will to obtain stronger power. If you wish for power, this candy will grant you if you are worthy."

Most of the students regret to laugh at me because of the candy? How fake.

The school bell rings. It signals the start of the lunch.

"Okay, see you guys tomorrow. Reconcile with each other kay~"

"Yes, ma'am."

After that, most of the students came to me. They apologized for laughing at me. After forgiving them, three boys came to me. [Charles] started to speak.

"Coward, now since it's lunch, let's duel!"

[Eleonor], who is in my back, interrupted.

"Get lost. If you want a duel, i'll be your opponent."

"How scary. Please don't think ill of me, because I won't fight you because you're a girl. Girls are always needed to be respected."

Then he kneels and holds her hand. Before he could kiss it with his lips, [Eleonor] retracted her hand.

"Disgusting. Same as what's inside you."

"Is that so? Not that it matters."

Then he approached me, giving me a holographic image.

It was an image of my house.

"If you wouldn't accept my duel, you'll know what will happen to your family, right?"

He looks at me while snickering. Why does he go this far to expel me from this academy?

"... Okay, I'll fight you. Let's go."

We depart from the main building. In our way, the principal saw us.

"Oh, what do we have here? Mr. [Hugo] and Mr. [Altair], where are you going?"

"We're off to the Arena. Is there a teacher available to supervise our duel?"

"No there isn't since all of them took a break. Why don't I supervise your duel? As reward for being the first one who'll use the Arena."

"Okay Sir."

Both of us replied.

"Then, lets go!"

The principal happily said.

While walking towards the Arena, the principal was talking to someone. We didn't inquire since it might be private information.

The Arena was like those gladiator coliseums being run by the government a long time ago. Now, gladiator coliseums are banned because of their dark reputation of having their combatants fight to death.

When we entered the Arena, the principal said:

"Go to your positions."

Both of us entered the battle grounds. All of the viewers are from Adventurer's Department. [Eleonor] also watched within the sidelines.

"Start the invitation, [Inviter]"

The principal announced by using the sound magnification magical tool.

"I, [Charles Hugo] requests [Yves Altair] for a duel! The terms are the following: If I win, [Yves Altair] would stay away from [Eleonor Vega] and will be subjected to expulsion from Adventurer's Department. If I lose, I will leave him alone."

"That's too heavy for a bet, you know."

The principal speaks towards [Charles]

"Its alright sir. I accept his conditions."

If I won't , I don't know what he'll do against my own family. I looked at [Eleonor]. She has a worried face on her face.

"Since both of the [Inviter] and the [Acceptor] accepted the conditions, Request Accepted!"

After the principal said that, a belt with four magazines of ammunition: pistol type, assault rifle type, sniper type, and shotgun type, was presented to us by an automaton. I placed all of them on my hips.

"There is no time limit. This battle will stop after one of the participants lose consciousness. Then, without further ado, let's begin the match!"

I created an image of two pistols on my mind. Since the transforming accessory transforms with the image wanted by the user, I tried to try it. Two Desert Eagle Gun's pistol model appeared on my hand. [Charles] created a M-16A1 Gun's assault rifle model from his accessory. Both of us inserted the magazine inside them.

[Charles] shoots me first since I need to place two magazines in my pistols. Because of that, I involuntarily jumped to the right, making me lose balance and made my right shoulder slumped to the floor. I stood up before he could adjusts the assault rifle into its full-automatic fire.

"Run coward! Run like you always do! Hahaha!"

I ran on circles while firing at him.

These people doesn't know my secret.

This is the only thing i'm proud of myself.

And I believe that one day, this will be my most distinguished asset.

While running by forming an arc, I shot his right sole by my left pistol while running. I might be a coward, but having gun's on my hands, I think I could do anything.

"Ahhh!"

[Charles] screamed due to pain. He stil continues to shoot me, but I find it easy to predict his line of fire. Even though my body is weak, all of the bullets he shot are always left behind me. After he guessed my routine, I tried to approach him by running zigzag towards him.

"Damn you!"

It looks like he lost his calm. He tried to hit me with the end of the M16A1, but I ducked my head and sweep his feet with my left foot, making him lose balance. I shot both of his arms, making the M16A1 rifle return to it's original form as an accessory. Maybe the pain made him lose consciousness.

"Winner : [Yves Altair]"

I'll explain what happened. My father was a Gun's creator. Since I was small, all I ever do was to assemble what my father does. When he saw my dedication in Gun's, he thought me how to train my body. But those things doesn't really fit me so I asked him for a much easier way. What he gave me is this ability being passed throughout our family's history: [Gran Finale]. I'll lose my reasoning, attacking my designated target while I still have my reasoning, and let's my instinct do as it please. All of what my father taught me was inside [Gran Finale] so I don't need to train my own body just to use it. The side effect of this ability is that there is a 3 minute cool down after I use it. It means, I can't move for three minutes.

Before I could finish the three minute cool down, the principal said from the sound magnifier.

"Oh my, what do we have here?"

Black smoke exits [Charles] body. That smoke compressed and creates its own form. What It formed was a knight in black armor and sword. What happened afterwards shocked the crowd.

"Looks like we meet again, [Hero]."

"Eh??"

I was confused. Hero? What are you talking about?

"It looks like you aren't awakened yet. Its my chance to kill you for the glory of the Demon King!"

He lifts up his sword and swings it horizontally towards me. The three minute cool down was not yet lifted, so I was launched towards the wall of the arena. All of the students were horrified when they saw that happen.

"All of you, calm down!"

The principal announces through the sound magnifier.

After being thrown towards the arena's wall, I wiped my mouth.

"Blood?"

It looks like blood spurted out of my mouth. The impact is severe. After that I lost my consciousness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Life. Death. Resurrection. I crossed the boundaries that removes my mortality. I am not a god, but an immortal!"

Looks like my seal was broken again. When I woke up, I saw my mouth full of blood and my stomach distorted because of some impact. I'll heal myself first before knowing my situation.

"Ancient Spell, Sanctuary!"

I cast Sanctuary on myself. After a few seconds, Most of the part of my body returned to its normal shape.

"Then, what do we have here?"

I saw someone familiar. It was one of the generals of the Demon King I spared during the Second Demon War.

"Thaszor?! Is that you? What are you doing here, you rascal?"

"Don't act too familiar to me, Despicable [Hero]."

"Oh is that so, by the way, are you the one who did that to my Avatar?"

"If that is the case, what is it for you?"

After he said that, I moved faster than speed of light towards his back with a [Maximus] in my right hand pointing upwards. After a split second, one of his arms was dis attached from his body.

"Aaaaaaargh!"

"It looks like you didn't learn your lesson last fight. Let me re-educate you."
