Chapter 364: Chapter 248: Beating Up the Kid_1

At six o’clock in the evening, the ’Silence’ class ended.

After three lessons in one day, Mu You had made significant progress. The progress on his Levitation Spell, Electric Arc Sword, and Silence Curse was 75%, 45%, and 37.5% respectively.

However, the day’s tasks were not over yet.

After quickly finishing dinner and feeding the animals in the shop and in his space one by one, at seven fifty in the evening, Mu You was ready at his mobile phone, controlling his game character to get to the school’s Duel Field ahead of time.

[You have arrived at the Duel Square.]

[As the time for the duel approaches, the place is packed with people. Because the Duel Square is the main source of the Red Rose Medals, students from all grades of the academy are enthusiastic about actively participating in this activity every day.]

[In the center of the Duel Square, seven huge Magic Projection Walls display the medal rankings for each grade, but only the top 100 medal holders of each grade are shown. Would you like to view the list?]

The familiar ranking list may be cliché but indispensable. The spirit of competition exists everywhere, and only with this can the students’ desire to participate in the duels be maximally stimulated.

Mu You was not interested in the rankings. He simply checked the seventh grade list and quickly found the name of Chris’ owner.

[Chris Fuya, seventh grade, current number of medals for this academic year: 702. Medal ranking: eleventh.]

"Seven hundred medals only rank eleventh... The competition is fierce!" Mu You exclaimed.

Red Rose Academy starts every year in late July, which means that this academic year had just started for over 20 days. Even if one were to fight the maximum number of matches every day for those 20 days and accumulate more than 700 medals, it would require a win rate of over 70%, and one would need to earn the extra reward for a triple win streak at least once a day.

However, according to the number of medals, those excellent students could even earn back their hefty annual tuition fees through the Duel Field.

[At 7:55 PM, the daily Duel Square rule broadcast floats in the air of the square: Each duel lasts a maximum of five minutes. The first to die or surrender within five minutes loses. If there’s no casualty after five minutes, the winner is determined by the remaining HP of both parties at the end. After the duel, both parties will automatically recover all HP and Magic Power...]

[Please comply with the school rules of civilized competition. There should be no insults, abusive killings, corpse abuse, and other improper behaviors during the duel, otherwise punishment will be given according to the severity of the act...]

The rule details of the duel turn into text and display line by line.

Mu You read all of them seriously and discovered two hidden rules that were not mentioned in the text before.

The first is the newbie protection. Freshmen in their first year who just enrolled will only be matched with newbies who have not been in school for more than three months for the first three months of their participation in the duel.

The second one is that if you defeat someone who has a win streak of five or above, you will receive additional medals depending on the number of win streaks your opponent has. You’ll get as many medals as the number of consecutive wins.

The first rule is self-explanatory. New students are generally novice magicians with limited magic and battle experience. Making them duel with experienced students who have already learned for quite a while would just be throwing matches away. Hence, the first three months are set as the newbie protection period, during which new students can only play in the newbie field, like "chickens pecking each other".

And the second rule probably exists to prevent excessive win streaks. The higher your win streak, the higher your value, and the more likely your tactics and weaknesses are to be studied, making you more susceptible to targeted attacks.

Five minutes passed in a flash.

As soon as it turned eight, the [Challenge Registration] option promptly popped up in the text.

Mu You clicked on the option right away.

[You have infused Magic Power into your badge, indicating that you are ready for the duel.]

[The Duel Field is matching you with an opponent...]

[Match successful! Your first opponent is a first-year student: Jones Damian, current winning streak: 7.]

[You and your opponent are swallowed by the Illusion Creator in the center of the square, arriving in a randomly generated Illusory Realm.]

[Realm size: 1000*1000 meters. Scene: Coniferous Forest.]

"A 7-win streak?"

Mu You raised an eyebrow, surprised to have been matched with an opponent with a seven-win streak right off the bat.

He quickly opened the leaderboard and checked his opponent’s information.

He found the name in the ninth place on the first-year leaderboard.

[Jones Damian: A well-known young master from the Jones family. Only 9 years old, he had mastered over ten types of magic before enrolling in school and is one of the most promising new students among this year’s new admissions. Currently, he has 406 medals and ranks ninth on the first-year leaderboard.]

Mu You also scanned his opponent’s attributes with the Omniscient Crystal.

Jones Damian (Level 10, Unascended), Strength: 10, Agility: 15, Intelligence: 35, Constitution: 25, HP: 2500, Magic Power: 3500...]

After looking at the attributes, Mu You immediately felt at ease.

Though he was an audit student, he was still a new student who just joined the academy, so he was also placed in the newbie field. And the opponents matched in the newbie field were all kids who just joined the academy less than a month ago.

This was also why Mu You had the confidence to join the Duel Field.

Even if the entity dueling against him was just a game AI, which couldn’t fully exert its real capabilities, and even though Black Magic, equipment, and vampire skin had been banned, his game character could still crush these little chums with his attributes alone.

[You and your opponent have both entered the Coniferous Forest.]

[All the equipment and items on you have lost their effects. More than ten standard weapons, including magic wands, swords, bows, spears, and shields, appear in front of you. You can select any three items.]
