"The mont I saw how you act when you found out my na, I know there’s sothing nasty about you, woman, now I know the reason for that"
Still pointing his finger towards the female staff that also serves as the one who guides him to registration of his identity to the academy, Diluc said with a smile on his face a smile that appears more of a mockery rather than the normally positive smile on his face.
Without even letting this staff say anything else, he then looks towards this group of young n clearly asking him to jump into his demise given the current rule of the duel they both agree with, one among the rules saying that the party that this Reginald is on can have as much people as he wants in it.
"I initially thought that you’re targeting because of Alea and Alfia, but seeing your reactions, I see that this is not the reason now…" the emperor-like young man said all while retaining the sa smile on his face, now looking down on the noble young man standing right in front of him, said young man feeling like the one standing in front of him is even bigger now.
"… You… no, not you, you’re not a single bit worthy of that, is it your parents? Your father or your mother? Well, given how you act, I guess it’s both…" after saying his piece, Diluc gradually steps backwards and backwards, not due to anything close to fearing fighting against this group of young n clearly raring to go now as well, instead, he is taking a step back to the position where the duel often starts, standing a few dozens of ters away from his opponent.
"Doesn’t matter either way, after I’m done with all of you, I should be able to send so ssage to your child-like pricks for parents" the emperor-like young man smiles as he declares, his voice loud enough that it resounds all across the Orion Arena, his intent being interpreted by the audience, as well as his opponent as an attempt to provoke them, particularly the nobles.
"Fufufuf…. Hahahah… look at this guy, acting all tough like that, what the hell are you even talking about huh? Are you too scared that you’re speaking gibberish now?" as he points it out, Reginald invokes the laughter of the young n just behind him, along with the majority of the male freshn audience who appears to be clearly against Diluc as well, given how much attention he got from those two elven beauties that appears to be the greatest ones within their year.
"Oh, I see, if you’re too dumb that you don’t even know what I am talking about, then I see no reason to worry about your strength… at most, I bet you’re all just so sort of forgotten child within your households…." Diluc retorted with a mocking expression on his face, feeling like he couldn’t wait any longer to puml these young n to the ground, sothing that he is really certain of achieving even without the help of Yggdrasil and the others.
’This is also a good chance to scare those people who thinks they can just bother like this…’ the emperor-like young man thought to himself, all while also wondering why is it that most, if not all of the freshn are not familiar with his previous performance despite his astonishing result during the first part of the academy’s entrance exam.
If only he knew that Aria herself personally moves to make sure that not a single thing about his achievents will leak to soone since she wants to hog all these great talent to herself to teach and nurture, even going as far as using a high level non-elental spell in order to make the students temporarily forget about his results in the entrance exam, Diluc wouldn’t even know whether he will feel angry or not towards her.
This is due to the fact that on one side, this is a good thing since he can still hide his strength against his enemies for a longer ti, and on the other side, he had to deal with all these arrogant young masters and ladies who isn’t aware of what he is capable of.
’Just the fire elent should be alone to ward off these useless things, there’s no need to show my trump card in the public’ he added to himself as another staff moves towards the arena, the impartial eyes of this staff sothing that is completely different from the eyes of that receptionist lady that he saw on the audience, this staff, a man who seems to be on his early thirties, brimming with fairness all across his body.
"Alright, children, according to the basic rules that all duels must adhere to, no killing, no severe injuries that might lead to crippling of the opponent, and not a single non-compliance to the rules agreed upon by both parties, anyone observed to not obey these basic rules shall be deed unworthy of the duel, making their opponent the one who wins the match, and quite possibly sentencing the offender according what the Law Enforcent of the academy will decide"
The staff said with a neutral tone before looking at both parties, his gaze earning a nod of confirmation from them, expressing their understanding and agreent of the rules, sothing that he doubt those young masters ganging up on the poor lad will completely abide.
’I don’t really need a permanent damage, just enough to incapacitate him for tomorrow’s entrance exam will be enough to cause a lot of indirect loss to him’ thinking that he can cripple the supplies of cultivation resources of the emperor-like young man if he manages to prevent him from entering the Primaria class, Reginald thought with quite the pride on his plan, thinking that this is a surefire way to teach this young man a lesson just as his father instructed.
"You’re going to know the gap between a real noble and a fallen noble like you" the noble young man said with a prideful, borderline arrogant look on his face as he points his finger towards Diluc who seems to be still completely unperturbed by the things currently happening in front of him, as if he’s not even a single bit concerned at the fact that he’s about to face five talented young n the sa age as him in a battle, not to ntion all of them possessing terrifying contracted beast that is more than likely specifically prepared to them by their clan or family or whatever force they’re in.
"Funny how grown n can brag about how much their parents support them" as he heard of the words coming out of this noble young man’s mouth, he thought that these are all he needs to confirm that even if part of the reason why this group decided to target him right now is because of the two elven beauties who seem to be the pearls of the freshn, the primary reason for these events is sothing instigated by their elders, probably people who fought against his parents before their fall.
After shoving the thoughts to the back of his mind, Diluc rely replies as he goes into a stance, his feet spread apart by quite so distance making his height a bit lower, but still more than enough to overshadow his opponents, the words coming out from his mouth invoking three different expressions from the ones who manages to hear it.
One among those expressions being one of laughter, seemingly agreeing to his words and not taking any offence on it, acting as if this is sothing said out of a joke, and as a joke, they find it quite amusing enough to garner their genuine laughter despite the fear of offending this emperor-like young man’s opponents.
While the other part of the audience clearly felt hit by that quite a lot, however, they are still sohow still self-aware given that they still feel sha in doing so, causing their faces to be one of embarrassnt averting and roaming their gazes all around the arena as if they are so children who just saw the outside world for the first ti in their entire life.
The last group of people is where Diluc’s opponents belongs to, people who got offended by his words considerably much that they just turn red with their eyes sternly looking at him as if he’s dead at any second now, so from the audience who got offended by his words even shouting crass words towards him thinking that he can’t do anything either way since he’s in the middle of a ’duel’ right now.
"You will regret those words…." Reginald said as he tries his best to hold the anger down his throat, his finger already shaking as it remains pointed towards the emperor-like young man.
"We’ll see" the emperor-like young man, Diluc, said with the sa mocking smile on his face as he disappears from his current spot.
