Chapter Ninety-Four: The Deception of Young Iraq

"The file is right here... cough cough cough..."

Severia frowned as she took the parchment from her mentor, Kiara, who coughed lightly and placed it in her hand. She asked her mentor with concern, "Mentor, about the duel with Illa..."

Kiara clearly had no interest in talking to Severia who asked the question. She coughed as she turned to leave, saying, "With your status, cough cough... you should call Inra Senior Inra."

“If you want to know something, then the files you have all record it. What you should do is look at them and learn from them... Don’t expect others to answer your questions, Sevilla, or I’ll wake you up.”

"..."

Watching Kiara walk out of the room, Severia didn't care about Kiara's obviously unfriendly attitude, because she knew that Grandmaster Kiara was like that to everyone... except for Inra... Senior Inra.

At this moment, the duel file in Severia's hand records all the duel data and procedures of the previous students. It has different bookmarks that separate each student's different duel records.

The thick parchment book in his hand, with a bookmark bearing the name "ira" (伊拉), was inserted in the center of the book... In other words, the dueling record of Senior Ira alone was more than that of the other nine hundred and ninety-nine students combined.

Isn't that a bit too much martial virtue? Doesn't that mean he's making enemies everywhere? But I always feel like Senior Yinla is quite popular.

Thinking this, Severia turned to the first page of the duel... It seemed that many students had borrowed the duel records, which were densely covered with annotations and handwriting.

I flipped through it a little... and it seems there are no more records at the end.

In other words, Yoon Ra's file has always been highly sought after.

[Language, deception, and information asymmetry are exploited in duels.]

When Severia saw the highlighted notes for the other characters at the top of the list of Imra's first duel, she paused for a moment... realizing that this was probably the duel she needed to watch.

——————————

"The duel begins. I will use the [Pure White Swift Blade] to pierce your heart in ten seconds... This is my announcement."

The obscure Illa said this, and standing in the same dueling arena with him was Defont Caligula, one of the sons of Duke Caligula of the Empire.

He is a very talented monk.

Yinla's announcement only elicited a sneer from him. He never believed that Yinla could defeat him, and even Yinla's timely arrival at the appointment today was beyond his expectations.

However, it was merely a self-inflicted humiliation.

"Devonte! Devonte! Devonte!"

"Devont! Devont!"

The students watching around were cheering for the young mage named De Vonte, who laughed and said arrogantly, "Then I will trample you under my feet and force you to lick the soles of my shoes clean."

This was a life-or-death duel, but De Vonte only thought about humiliating his opponent after winning, while Ira's every thought was about killing his opponent as quickly as possible... From this point of view, he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

The duel had actually begun long ago, but Inra used the "declaration" to buy time, preventing his opponent from immediately tensing up. De Vonte cooperated perfectly, even taking the time to remove his left hand from his staff.

De Vonte casually tidied his hair while scoffing, saying, "What an overconfident commoner. Even if you were to lick my boots..."

In fact, the Elkaras family was not a great noble family, but they were not commoners either. These words were undoubtedly an insult to Yinra, but Yinra did not care... there was no need to care.

Because while de Vonte was getting into the conversation...

"Blood!"

With a shout, Yinla appeared like a ghost in front of the young mage named Defont, and in the boy's astonished expression, she swiftly slashed across his wrist as he was being forced back.

De Vonte's right hand, which was holding the staff, was instantly severed by Illa.

Here, Yinla used a cunning trick... a spell called [Pure White Swift Blade], the incantation of which was [Slow as the wind in the forest, swift as the water beneath the wind, slash as the waves on the water; Li, Qi, Shuo, Shan.]

When De Vonte was told that Ira was going to use the Pure White Swift Blade, he had a concept in his mind... Ira was about to chant [Xu Yu], that's what he thought.

If Yinla says something with a homophone, such as "perhaps (Xu)" or "talkative (Xu)", he will instantly become alert.

However, Yinla's self-created spell, [Pure White Swift Blade - Blood], comes at the cost of even weaker strength, a longer incantation, and the need to consume her own blood, in exchange for a very easy-to-hide and short incantation.

The announcement itself conceals the incantation of [Pure White Swift Blade], and the release is simply marked by the word [Blood]... This is information that anyone with even a slight understanding of Yinra would know.

In other words, de vont was killed by his own arrogance.

"Whoosh!"

With a cutting sound, a hand flew high into the sky, blood splattering as it flew, revealing De Vonte's incredulous expression, along with an indescribable fear and timidity.

That guy, Yinla, is actually going to kill me?! How dare he?!

As he thought this, De Vonter instinctively clutched his heart and leaned back, rapidly beginning to chant the incantation for a magical shield: "With a bulwark of despair, create..."
