Chapter 16: Conclusion and Reward
They didn't waste any time and entered the available arena nearby.
Upon seeing that the two of them were about to fight, a crowd quickly gathered to watch the show.
Before they began their match, however, Cedric decided to say a few words.
"Did you know that most people in our class are afraid of you?" His voice wasn't loud enough for the spectators to hear.
Cyril didn't see how this had anything to do with their duel, but he didn't interrupt him.
Cedric carefully deliberated his words before speaking "I mean, I understand them, you have that cold look in your eyes and I don't think I ever saw you smile before, there are also all these rumors about your family..."
"What is he even on about?"
I am not sure; it doesn't feel like he is trying to insult me.
His words only invoked confusion so far.
"I just thought you should know; you don't seem like a bad guy to me. This is probably a serious misunderstanding on their part." Cedric finished saying this with a beaming smile from ear to ear.
"...Thanks." Cyril wasn't sure how to feel about this. He simply readied his spear, willing to begin this duel as soon as possible.
