Chapter 278: Are you joking with me right now?
Fighting someone inexperienced in one-on-one combat usually meant the experienced one had the advantage.
But when the fight was against an inexperienced yet overpowered opponent, victory was far from assured, and in the worst-case scenario, the experienced opponent would end up dead.
Why? It would be because they pushed the inexperienced to the edge, causing them to feel they might be on the same level. So, they would go all out, only to end up killing the experienced opponent.
Or...
There was the point of the inexperienced not being able to control the output of their strength, so from the get-go, wanting to respect their opponent, they would take the fight seriously, only to crush their opponent to death before the fight even got anywhere.
Both instances would be bad... For Noah, that is. But even knowing that he might slip and die, Noah felt even more excited.
He wanted to fight Alice who was revered for killing an eclipse dragon without even doing anything.
If a live video hadn’t been taken, no one would’ve believed that such a thing could happen.
"Miss Alice," Noah called. "Do you know that..." his heart wouldn’t stop pounding in excitement. "...your opponent is going to be me?"
Alice looked at Noah for a while, just staring in silence and hay made Noah uneasy. What was she doing? Was she sizing up her opponent? Or was she coming up with different ways to end him?
"What... What are you thinking about?" Noah finally asked and then Alice smirked.
