Chapter 45:Duel Class And Passing Time
After a short walk through the hallways of the Academy, Mikael arrived at a gym where the rest of his class was gathered, with Emily teaching the dueling class. The gym was well-equipped, featuring weapon racks filled with wooden training weapons and multiple sparring stages for practice bouts.
He joined the group and waited briefly before Emily checked her watch and addressed the class.
"Alright, everyone, welcome to your first dueling class. I don't have much to say other than this: you'll be sparring with your classmates to improve. Remember, this is practice, so there shouldn't be any injuries."
She paused to let her words sink in before continuing with a firm tone.
"You're free to fight however you'd like—whether it's a 1v1, 2v2, or even a 3v2. The only rule is that all participants must agree to the match. If I catch anyone forcing someone into a duel or bullying, there will be serious consequences."
With that, she clapped her hands and concluded, "That's all. Happy sparring!"
As soon as Emily finished speaking, Amelia approached Mikael, catching the attention of nearby students.
"Spar?" she asked directly.
"That's what we agreed on, right?" Mikael replied.
"Yeah," she confirmed with a nod. He pointed toward a nearby sparring stage.
"Here?"
