Chapter 28: The Laughingstock’s Arsenal
"Hey, have you heard? The duel between that one-star, one-percent mana-affinity student and a three-star student named Agon Burner is on!"
"Have you been living under a rock? The duel's been set for a week now, and everyone's just waiting for the day to come!"
"W-Wha... Unlike you, I'm actually training hard, hmph! How would I have time to hear such news?"
"Are you calling me lazy?! How about we duel next, huh?!"
"Huh?! You think I'm scared of you? Bring it on, then!"
Such conversations buzzed throughout the academy.
There was only a little over a week left before Hal Fennec, the now-renowned low-affinity trash, would face off against a decently talented student.
Their duel would showcase the gap between average students and the so-called trash one-stars.
Since the majority of the Grand Magic Academy's students were three-stars like Agon Burner, they couldn't wait for one of their own to put the one-star freshman in his place.
Meanwhile, the most talked-about student was locked in his dormitory room, a look of greedy, somewhat crazed exhilaration on his face.
'Hahahaha! Yes, more, more!!'
