Are you worthy of saving the world?

"Karim is a member of the Duel Club!"

The Dueling Club is one of the oldest student societies at St Cromwell's Seminary.

As the name suggests, the members of the Duel Club are a group of students who are keen on mock duels and have rich practical experience.

"I see. It looks like the Child of Prophecy's winning streak is coming to an end... Look! Her Highness Cecilia is here too!"

When the male students noticed the girl behind Ulysses, they collectively let out a low cry.

Cecilia Valentine Augusta is the unshakable pinnacle of St. Cromwell's Seminary and the focus of attention of all male students.

Be it family background, appearance, character or talent, he is an impeccable and perfect superman.

Sword Princess is as dazzling and unattainable as a star in the night sky. Even as the head student of the seminary, some people say that she is the strongest head student in the history of St. Cromwell since its founding 1500 years ago.

Cecilia is wearing the Lily Cross uniform today.

The white swordsman's uniform with gold edges looks heroic and awe-inspiring, while also outlining the plump curves that are about to bloom, exuding a girlish style that is both brave and graceful.

In Yuri's eyes, Cecilia was a very friendly girl, but in the eyes of the male students who looked at her from afar, she was the exact opposite, aloof.

Coupled with her mother who was a dictator with a subtle reputation, people who didn't know Cecilia always liked to imagine her as an arrogant and cold iceberg genius girl.

It is said that Sword Princess will only smile in front of Ulysses.

Cecilia is so outstanding that she naturally has many suitors in school, but they basically don't feel jealous of the Child of Prophecy because of this.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cecilia's feelings for Ulysses are not romantic, but the love of a sister for her brother.

But recently, this situation seems to have changed quietly...

At this moment, the Sword Princess who was standing behind Ulysses and helping him carry his bag seemed to be looking at the black-haired boy with particularly deep affection.

That was not just the look of a sister worried that her brother might get hurt in the duel, but also the look a woman gives to a man.

That kind of admiration and fascination, the passionate light in the eyes, was absolutely not seen in the past.

This is what happened...

Camus suddenly realized.

But this is normal. If I were a girl, I would definitely be fascinated by Ulysses...

He continued to pay attention to the mock duel on the playground.

"Let's duel with credits! Ulysse Falchion!"

Karim shouted as he drew the sword from his waist.

"Okay."

After Yuli threw his schoolbag to Cecilia, he also drew the sword from his waist.

【Saint Cromwell Standard Steel Sword·S】

[Type: One-handed sword·Slash]

[Level: Advanced (Green)]

[Attribute: None]

[Characteristics: None]

[Description: A long sword with balanced performance, printed with the emblem of the seminary's special admission certificate.]

[“Genius is just a ticket to see me.”]

While studying at the seminary, Yuli hung the knight's sword issued by the school along with his student ID card around his waist.

Every student of St. Cromwell will receive a standard sword issued by the school upon enrollment.

The performance of the sword is the same for all students, except that specially recruited students will have more fancy patterns on the scabbard and hilt.

Students are not required to carry swords with them. For example, the young ladies of the Lily Cross usually carry family heirloom swords.

Yuli has no prominent ancestors. For him, this special recruit sword is the greatest honor he has achieved on his own.

The student who challenged him to a mock duel today was named Karim.

He had been promoted to the second level three years ago when he was still a first-year student, but he has not made any further progress so far.

Perhaps he was suspicious of Ulysses's admission to the special admissions program, so he challenged Ulysses to a duel.

Although his rank is one level lower than Yuri's, his practical experience in simulated duels is probably far superior to his.

Yuli had also heard of St. Cromwell's Dueling Club and was very interested: Let's take this opportunity to let me see what kind of quality you are, seniors.

"Yuli! Come on!"

Cecilia's encouragement came from behind.

Yuli moved his neck and shoulder joints and said calmly: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I'll finish you off before the class bell rings."

118 The Attention of All

"Don't be so arrogant! Freshman!"

Karim yelled and rushed towards Yuli.

His steps were incredibly fast. In just a flash, he was in front of Yuli and swung down with the blade clenched in both hands.

Yuri dodged his fierce blow by moving sideways.

The so-called mock duel is actually a competition conducted in a duel barrier that is jointly opened by both parties using the "Oath Technique".

In a simulated duel, the health points of both duelists will be quantified, and the duel will be declared over when one party's health points are exhausted.

Even a simulated duel would produce a certain degree of real pain, so it is not uncommon for one to admit defeat.

The damage received in the simulated duel will ultimately be settled as energy consumption and will not cause real damage.

Even so, Karim's slash was also incredibly powerful, and a strong wind blew through the barrier.

Yuli felt that if he was hit head-on by him, he would lose at least half of his health.

Karim attacked fiercely, and Yuli kept retreating and dodging, while analyzing the opponent's swordsmanship.

So that's how it is. This is the practical swordsmanship.

He is indeed much more difficult than the previous opponents who challenged me...by a student's standards.

There was no time to continue analyzing, as Officer Yuli Yuguang saw Karim's expression become ferocious.

"How dare you underestimate me!"

Karim also noticed that Yuri was observing his movements, which was why he didn't take the initiative and just kept avoiding him. He was immediately furious.

The cross sword in his hand was surrounded by golden light.

It's "Blinding Slash"!

Yuli was shocked. Karim had already raised the long sword wrapped in golden light and slashed towards him head-on.

He quickly stepped back, using all his strength to create distance.

The next moment, the golden light emitted by the sword spread in front of his eyes like an explosion.

The dazzling light even illuminated the playground during the day. Not to mention the spectators surrounding Yuli and Karim, even Camus who was far away in the classroom on the second floor had to use his arms to block the strong light.

"Blinding Slash" releases a holy flash while attacking, with a certain chance of causing the target to fall into a temporary blind state.

In the game, the chance of blinding is about 30% of the same level, but in the real world it is not a "certain probability".

If Yuli had reacted a little slower, he would have been blinded on the spot and would have been slaughtered by Karim.

Fortunately, he was able to distance himself in time and avoided being blinded on the spot, but he still lost more than 80% of his vision.

"Ulyphis's eyes can no longer see Karim's movements! This is an opportunity!!"

Karim's concealed and decisive "blinding slash" caused the audience on the playground to exclaim in surprise.

A knight duel is not a free fight, and attacking the eyes is a very reasonable tactic.

"Since you are still unwilling to attack, then let me defeat you!"

Karim roared and took advantage of the situation to launch a more ferocious attack.

His swordsmanship is not only swift and skillful, but also fierce. It is a practical combat skill honed through countless duels.

On the other side, Yuli's eyesight was impaired and he had to stagger back quickly.

Although he dodged Karim's attacks again and again, he was unfortunately hit in the chest by the sword, leaving a huge and horrifying wound.

"...!"

Yuli felt a sharp pain in his chest. The wound was deep and it was obvious that several ribs were broken.

Fortunately, this was just a simulated duel and there was a limit to the pain. Otherwise, Yuli would have lost his balance and fallen to the ground in pain.

"He's seriously injured! Is Karim really going to win?" The male student next to Camus shouted excitedly.

Another audience member nodded: "Not necessarily. As long as Ulysses can survive the next 30 seconds and restore his eyesight, he still has a chance!"

"I see. So, Ulysses hasn't swung his sword yet. After all, he is a third-ranked player. As long as his eyesight is restored, he should be able to fight Karim on equal terms..."

"Ulphis originally just wanted to test Karim's strength. He was too arrogant and overconfident, which put him in a passive position. Even if he lost, he doesn't deserve sympathy."

The students were discussing the duel enthusiastically while paying close attention to it. Even though the bell for class was about to ring, quite a few people still gathered in the corridor of the teaching building.

Cecilia clenched her fists and swallowed nervously: "Yuli..."

……

……

……

"----hiss."

Yuri took a deep breath and put his left hand on his chest to release the "Healing Technique".

In a simulated duel, healing skills have limited effects: only physical damage can be healed, and lost health points cannot be restored through healing.

Now, Yuri could barely see Karim's shadow, and he was trying his best just to dodge the attacks.

The best tactic is, as those people say, to drag out the next 30 seconds as much as possible.

After 30 seconds, you will be able to regain your vision and fight back -
