Chapter 4: Gathering for Gambling

Thus, Duke extended his hand, wishing to express his gratitude

Get lost! Don't think that I am afraid of you

The young leader chuckled, "I, Douglas, really appreciate your boldness. I will buy a combination of angels worth ten gold coins to win."

Rich looked at the increasingly noisy classroom and shouted loudly. Then, he solemnly said to Dios, "If you interfere, I will hit you every time I see you in the future. This is something I, as a man, cannot tolerate."

"You provide the funds, I will keep the records, and we will settle once the battle is over. I, Loreg, guarantee with over a decade of credibility that I will never default on my obligations," declared the man with a cigarette, who called himself Loreg, as he pounded his chest emphatically.

The little fox let out a muffled grunt, and the imagined burning sensation did not arrive; instead, there was merely a feeling of being violently jolted.

Thank you! Duke Road

"Luo Leige, shut your mouth. If you keep babbling, I'll beat you so badly that even your mother won't recognize you"

"One gold coin, the angel group wins," said Vichy in a deep voice. He was a tall and robust stone man, his body composed of massive stone blocks, with wisps of hot air occasionally escaping from the crevices. However, he had managed to control the surrounding temperature to a level that was bearable for an ordinary person.

However, just as he lifted it up, Richie quickly backed away, knocking over a row of tables, and said: "What are you trying to do? Are you planning to launch a sneak attack?"

Snore ... ... , snore ... ...

"What is a gold coin?" A white light, suspended in mid-air, emitted a curious voice. It slowly drifted closer to Loreg's table, circling around the gold coin that Loreg had raised. "Is it tasty? Can I have a taste?"

Rich joyfully tapped: "Telling you to sleep, telling you to sleep, wherever you go, you still wear a sleeping cap. Do you plan to sleep at all times and in all places?"

Since you want to fight with the picture book, then let us battle, but this time, I will not hold back

However, what awaited Rich was the gradually rising, rhythmic sound of snoring

Just as Richie began to softly chant the magical incantation, a light exclamation sounded from outside the door, "Is this... gathering for gambling?"

Damn it, they really ignored me, then I will fulfill you!" Rich shouted loudly. In fact, what he wanted was very simple: to find strong opponents to challenge, as each intense battle would deepen his understanding of magic. Especially in critical situations, both his magical perception and affinity would be enhanced to a certain extent. This is the reason why Rich always wanted to fight, regardless of the circumstances, and it is also the ability possessed by the Pendant of the Day Angel. Of course, he was not foolish enough to seek battles with those who were several levels above him; that would be true foolishness!

Be careful! shouted the little fox sitting next to Duke.

Hello

Duke saw that during yesterday's assessment, his companion who was with Richie was actually whispering something behind Richie's back. It was clear that they were not saying anything good. "Sneaky, are you planning to join in? Then let's do it together; after all, whether it's one or two, it's still a fight."

Come on, let's resolve this in one go to avoid any trouble... Duke frowned slightly and pointed at Richie

Rich pounded on the table forcefully: "You look down on me, don't you? You don't give me any respect, do you? Are you playing dead? Do you want to fight or what?"

Rich shouted, "Stand up like a man and fight me fairly, otherwise... otherwise you can forget about sleeping well!"

With a furious roar, Richie unleashed a Fireball spell, which a level 5 magic apprentice could master, sending a fist-sized ball of flame hurtling towards Duke, who was sleeping with his head resting on a book.

Knock knock knock

His gaze was piercing, sending a shiver down Rich's spine, yet the innate pride and stubbornness compelled Rich to maintain eye contact with Duke.

Duke was taken aback; he had not noticed earlier when entering the classroom that there were actually elemental spirits here, a nearly extinct form of pure energy life. Their abilities may be singular, but they are undeniably powerful to an unimaginable extent, possessing the innate capability for instant high-level magic. Moreover, they can effortlessly wield any forbidden magic, making them the most formidable beings on the continent of Galgalon, to the point where even dragons must bow their heads before the elemental spirits once they reach adulthood

After Douglas finished speaking, he waved to a short distance away, saying, "Come here and pay up, what are you standing there for"

Oh, alright, you're welcome

Rich grinned and rolled up his sleeves, ready to cast a spell

Come quickly, the atmosphere on site is already tense; if you don't place your bets soon, it will be too late. The man with the cigarette is holding ten gold coins, shaking them left and right to attract attention

"Good... good..." Dios raised his hands in surrender; he had never seen such a Richie before and could only step back

Let's get started. Duke nodded.

She looked up and saw that, at some point, a thin layer of transparent magic had appeared in front of her, the nature of which was indiscernible. It was likely this that had blocked the rampant fury of the Fireball spell

Puh, the little fox spat blood; you really are quite rude. However, this is not the time to dwell on such matters, as she noticed Duke had already walked towards Liqi.

Knock knock knock

"How do I buy it?" a young boy with a large dragon head asked as he stepped forward

Frank, with a frustrated expression, took out ten gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Loreg. For a dragon-like race that revels in glittering wealth, parting with their riches was akin to cutting off their flesh and letting their blood flow. If it weren't for the fact that Douglas was also a dragon, and if he weren't so accustomed to being bullied by him, Frank felt certain he would transform back into his dragon form and bite him to death

Hehe, I am here too, I want to buy the handsome brother's victory, this is one hundred gold coins. Flapping a pair of small wings, the tiny fairy, no taller than Duke's palm, danced gracefully in the air. With a wave of the slender magic wand in her hand, a bag filled with gold coins fell onto Loreg's table

In just the blink of an eye, Duke discerned the personalities and characteristics of each individual. "What a truly peculiar academy, a peculiar class; it seems every kind of race is represented here," Duke shook his head, no longer looking at the others.

Duke gently said, without even glancing at Richie, and turned to help the little fox up

"Are you crazy? Fighting privately on campus will lead to disciplinary action, and you even want to do it in the classroom... Please, use your brain, okay? If you want to fight, you shouldn't be the one to initiate it; wait for someone else to take the lead. That way, when it comes to punishment, it can be lighter. You idiot..." Dios quietly reminded Rich from behind, although he understood very well what kind of personality Rich had, he still couldn't turn a blind eye. He believed that Rich and he shared both honor and disgrace; they were both inheritors of the angelic legacy. If Rich were to be severely beaten, it would tarnish his reputation as well.

Bored... A slender-eared elf sitting in the last row, far away from others, glanced back and turned to speak.

As the classroom quieted down, Richie said with a serious expression: "Get ready, I'm about to make my move."

Duke ignored it and continued to sleep on his own

Just after class, as Miles had just left, a voice sounded in front of Duke's desk

"Haha, Uncle Bazat loves to join in the fun. I will also bet on the Angel team to win, five gold coins." A Minotaur laughed heartily as he handed five gold coins to Loreg.

Bang! Boom! Boom!

Duke shouted loudly and suddenly stood up

How about this... Dio thought for a moment and said: "Don't refuse just yet. Find a way for me to duel with him alongside you. First, it won't violate school rules, and second, it's unlikely we would lose. Hmph, do they really think we are so easy to bully?"

Those familiar with Duke know that as soon as he begins to frown, it signifies that he is truly angry, and thereafter, no one can stop him

The crowd had not yet had time to be shocked that such a weakling as Duke would actually challenge two inheritors of angelic legacies when a loud shout suddenly rang out. A large man, bald and with a lit cigarette in his mouth, was holding a sheet of pure white paper in one hand, while a quill pen swiftly drew horizontal and vertical lines on it, seemingly preparing a betting slip.

Duke lifted his eyelids and looked over; it turned out to be Richie, the heir of the White Angel.

The little fox looked at Duke, no longer wearing that previous carefree expression, and said, "No, no, it should be me thanking you; you got it wrong!"

She rushed in front of Duke, waving her hand in an attempt to create a wall of wind to block it, but the Fireball Spell was too swift, arriving before her in an instant

The direction in which he waved was towards the other juvenile dragon in this class, namely Frank.

"Once you buy, it's yours; buy one, get one free; no upper limit; act fast or miss out." The cigarette vendor continued to shout.

Oh!

In fact, if there is someone to blame, it can only be the stomach that woke me up in the morning, as I went out to seek food without even tidying up my appearance. However, this is indeed a good idea; in the future, wherever I go, I can take my books with me and sleep wherever I find myself. I never expected that this foolish fellow would have such a good idea.

"Ailiman Tuo, this is not something to eat; it is currency used by people for trade," a soft and gentle voice reminded. After Ian spoke, her own face turned red with shyness. As a peace-loving druid, she continued to address Lichi and Duke, saying, "You two classmates can communicate properly. What is there that cannot be discussed? Why must it be resolved through fighting? We are all classmates after all"

Come, come, come, buy big or small, once you place your bet, it's final. Will the Sleep Hat Man win or will it be the two angels? Hurry and place your bets

Fireball!

Although this guy is an idiot, he approaches battle with a seriousness that others do not possess, and he will undoubtedly become a powerful mage in the future. Duke thought to himself, and he decided to give Richie some setbacks, as only those who have faced adversity can grow more quickly

Knock knock knock

Hmm? Wearing a sleep cap?

After taking a look, he continued to lie on the table pretending to doze off, for he realized that if this fellow was not thoroughly subdued at once, the best approach would be to ignore him; otherwise, he would face endless harassment, which was not what Duke desired

Duke was taken aback, and only then did he realize why others were looking at him strangely; it turned out he was still wearing a sleeping cap on his head. However, he thought to himself, so what if he was wearing it? What was the big deal? He had even thought he looked handsome again. Alas, he had been overly pleased for nothing

Although the Fire Explosion Technique is not as powerful as the Fire Lotus Technique, it still contains formidable fire magic and is released at an extremely rapid speed. The Fire Explosion Technique roared in front of the little fox, resembling countless firecrackers exploding in a very short time. At the same time, the dazzling flames and strong fire waves pushed the little fox's slender figure backward.
