The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"Lila, although I don't think I have any grudge against you, since you dare to challenge me, you should be prepared to face the consequences, because I am not so easy to deal with."

As I spoke, I held up Lila's tie in my hand and immediately put on a poker face, responding very seriously.

"Hmm... I understand. Just tell me when, and I'll go fill out the duel application form and find my teacher..."

Seeing me was completely different from how she felt before. Lila's confidence instantly plummeted, and she seemed to speak with some insecurity.

"Then let's do it after lunch break, since we don't have classes in the afternoon anyway."

Today is the day for specially admitted students to enter the school, so the afternoon is mostly spent visiting clubs. If you don't want to visit any clubs, you can rest or go home. Classes will officially start tomorrow.

"Okay, this afternoon then."

Now that she had agreed to my duel, her anger seemed to have subsided a little, although she still looked at me with some displeasure.

But what's the use of being upset... I'm not going to admit defeat.

If you lose before class even starts, and it's a red-clad nobleman who gets defeated by a blue-clad one.

How am I supposed to establish myself in this academy? Forget about building a harem, it'll be hard to even get anyone to talk to me.

In other words, you will be isolated instantly.

However, I have no chance of losing, because when I was 9 years old, I defeated a level 5 mage. How could a girl who is the same age as me or a little older than me beat me?

I find it all rather ridiculous.

However, I don't think we can blame Lila for this, because there is no information about me in the college's student files.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for someone to know my true strength in advance.

Therefore, I don't need to worry about losing at all.

Time flies, and after lunch break, I arrived at the so-called duel location, which is the first duel arena located in the center of the academy, as promised.

In fact, the academy has a total of five dueling arenas, which form a very precise X shape, and the size of each dueling arena is basically different.

The other four dueling arenas are used only for indoor classes at the academy, while this first dueling arena is specifically set up for large, medium and small dueling competitions and ordinary duels.

So, I never expected that on my second day at the academy, I would be dueling with a very cute girl.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so tired.

"Hurry, hurry! Two first-year female students who got perfect scores on their entrance exams are about to have a duel!"

"This is unprecedented; there won't be any seats left if you're late."

"Red against blue, and the first and second place in this special admissions competition, this duel is sure to be spectacular."

At this moment, countless voices were already emanating from the arena before I even arrived.

Immediately afterwards, large numbers of students, like bees, swarmed into the first fighting arena.

I never expected this duel to attract so much attention.

At the same time, whether you win or lose, the entire student body and faculty of the college will remember it.

"Look, isn't that Ivy, the red-clad noblewoman who ranked first in this special admissions?"

At this moment, an ordinary-looking girl suddenly shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Hey, is it really that surprising?

Even though I'm the main character in this duel, there's no need to shout my name so loudly.

Left with no other choice, I walked into the entrance of the first dueling arena under the watchful eyes of everyone.

However, I still waved to the blue-clad students around me with an air of nonchalance. After all, I am a princess!

Honestly, my performance did elicit screams from quite a few boys and a few girls, but that was exactly what I expected.

Because I suddenly remembered... that filthy goddess Nana, the side effect of her first wish.

Otherwise, all the girls in the school should have gasped in surprise!

Damn it, all I wanted was to build my own harem. Did you have to push me to this point?

That darn busty goddess, you've been completely written down in my little mental notebook (〃＞皿＜).

Even after I die, I'll still give your big breasts a good pounding and vent my anger, even if I go to hell!

Chapter Thirteen: The Duel with the Blonde Beauty Lira (Part 1)

As soon as I stepped onto the arena stage, a vast expanse of black and blue immediately came into view.

Needless to say, they were all students who came to watch the duel.

Well... if I'm not mistaken, basically the entire student body has come.

It seems that what was supposed to be a day for visiting clubs has suddenly turned into a duel viewing event between Lila and me.

This is really ridiculous.

As someone who used to be a die-hard anime otaku, I already knew what Lira would say after I appeared.

Hey, Ivy, I thought you weren't coming to the duel, but I didn't expect you to actually show up.

Otherwise, I'll wait until I get to the stadium to see.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually come to the battle as promised, I thought you would be defeated and unable to escape."

Sure enough... yes, right?

Lila stood with her hands on her hips, a slight smile on her lips, as if she had victory in her grasp.

It's clear that if I don't deflate her arrogance today, she'll really look down on me.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how powerful I am.

"Alright everyone, quiet down. I didn't expect this duel to attract so many students and teachers to watch. This is unprecedented."

It seems that Lila can only find the one teacher she knows, namely Teacher Kaphni.

At this moment, Teacher Kaphni, holding a megaphone made of magic stone, began to loudly urge the students in the chaotic dueling arena to quiet down.

"Since both Lila and Ivy are special admission students on their first day of school, I'll first explain the details of this duel."

First of all, there is no time limit for this duel, and you can use melee combat, weapon combat, magic combat, and magic item combat.

There are a few very important points that you two students must understand. The first one is that you must never commit murder. If you are suspected of doing so, you will be punished on the spot.

Secondly, one must not use hidden weapons to injure others, as hidden weapons are indiscriminate weapons and could very likely cause the opponent to die a violent death.

Third, it is forbidden to use prohibited items to injure people; any violation will be dealt with severely.

There are two conditions for winning the match: one is that the opponent surrenders on the spot, and the other is that the opponent is rendered unable to fight, including losing the will to fight, falling asleep, or being bound by magic for three minutes without being able to escape.

During the competition, any injury, no matter what kind, is fine as long as it's not fatal. Ivy and Lira, do you understand?

"understand!"

We both responded at the same time, in unison.

"Okay, let the game begin!"

With a crisp "toot," my duel with Lila officially began.

Seriously, ever since Teacher Kafni quieted the students on the stage, the entire dueling arena fell silent instantly, and you could see that all the students were staring intently at the two of us, as if they wanted to learn something from me.

"Heh, Ivy, it's a pity you've met me. This time I will definitely defeat you and make you bow down to me, so you'll know the consequences of stealing my red-robed nobleman."

As she spoke, Lila took out an exquisitely crafted cane from her waist and pointed it directly at me.

However, she truly lives up to her status as a duke's child; even her cane is exquisitely crafted. Although, compared to my beautiful cane, well, it's still far inferior.

"How can you still laugh... You're infuriating me! I'll never forgive you!"

Hmm... Could it be that I just laughed?

Oh my god... This is too much! I was just thinking about something, and this made her angry?

Sigh, it's true what they say, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, truly unfathomable. It seems I should learn to deal with her properly.

However, I still can't use fire magic, because if people find out that I can use multiple elemental magic, wouldn't that be like claiming to the whole school that I'm a very powerful person?

Therefore, we will still use lightning magic as we did during the assessment.

However, I'm not very skilled at lightning magic... I hope I won't actually have to use intermediate-level magic this time...

Rather than using intermediate-level magic, I'd rather unleash my multi-attribute magic.

At this moment, Lila closed her eyes, and although she seemed to be gurgling something, I knew she was chanting a spell.

There are actually two types of spells. One is to shout it out loudly and shyly o( ////▽//// )q, just like me. The other is a family-specific spell, which is very soft but has extraordinary power.

Gradually, water vapor appeared around her body, showing that Lila was a water-attribute mage.

However, my lightning magic happens to counter it (Note: Magic attributes are mutually restraining, basically lightning beats water, water beats fire, fire beats wood, wood beats earth, and earth beats lightning in this cycle), so I don't need to panic.

Besides, all my low-level spells are cast without incantation.

"Take this, Ivy! I'll make you pay for laughing at me, Water Flower!"

In an instant, two clumps of water condensed into a series of interlocking knots and were launched from Lila's magic wand, forming a flower-like shape that rushed directly toward me.

Although Lila's magic is very beautiful, it is not as strong as ice spikes or water bullets in actual combat, so I am not afraid at all.
