Bet

I was shouting at Derek for what he did to Sam, he didn't even apologise to him.

He was a complete jerk, he was wavering the influence and money that his family held in the kingdom.

Even if there were more powerful students in the classroom Derek was the only one who purposefully attacked us.

He didn't like the way that I stood up against his tyranny and the bullying, I don't know what came over. My mind suddenly went blank and I was filled with rage.

Even after regaining my rationality, I stood up against Derek. I didn't want to give any more misfortune to this body.

As the new inhabitant of this body, I need to do at least that much.

When the professor came and saw what was happening, he didn't care about me and he only looked at Sam once.

I don't care if one could ignore me, but just because San became my friend he ignored him as well. Even though Sam is a noble.

Derek requested to have a duel with me, and the professor asked me if I was okay with it.

But I refused, I know that one should accept the duel no matter what. That is the tradition of this academy.

But I was sure that if I agreed to participate in the duel then I would die, I'm a hundred percentage sure about it.

But I have still a lingering question in my mind, " why is the professor not saying my name? "

I do have an answer for that in my mind as well, but still, I wanted to hear it from the professor's mouth. So I asked him that.

" Professor I want to ask you a question! Do you know what my name is? "

Professor Alaric's face turned Grimm as I asked the question, "Are you questioning Me the professor of esteemed Cluster Academy? "

I looked at the professor and said, " No, professor. I am not questioning your authority. But before you consider Derek's request for a duel, I want to ask if you know what my name is. it's a genuine curiosity. "

Professor Alaric looked at me as if I had done something wrong, he opened his mouth and said.

" Your name? It doesn't have any importance right now, so tell me that you are going to accept the duel. "

" Huh? My name doesn't have any importance? Right, it doesn't have any importance to the nobles like you, to you nobles I'm just a nobody. Isn't it your duty as a professor to treat every student equally? Then why am I treated differently? And now you want me to accept the duel, then hear it. I will not accept the duel instead I will prove my worth in the upcoming hunting simulation exam. "

I continued, "Both I and Sam will achieve more points than you." I then pointed my index finger at Derek.

As I pointed my finger at Derek, the students gasped it was their first time seeing something like that.

A commoner not only rebels against a noble he even rebels against a professor from the cluster academy.

" Quit your worthless yapping and accept the duel." Professor Alaric was pissed off.

" Professor are you that eager to see me dead? Then I will challenge both you and the young master from the Valerian family. If you have the guts then accept my challenge. "

"You dare to challenge me?" Professor Alaric's voice was low, know your place maggot.

The mental pressure coming from the professor was unbearable, I thought I would die any moment. But I hold my ground and talk back to him while struggling. " Yes, I do. If you're so eager to see me dead, then face me yourself. Or are you afraid to fight someone who doesn't have any noticeable ability? "

Professor Alaric, " That's it, I accept your challenge I'm going to show you how you should behave in front of the teacher. "

" Just wait a minute professor, I didn't say the rules. "

The professor's expression hardened, but he nodded, he knew that if he didn't accept the rules then he wouldn't be able to look at other's faces.

" Rule one ", I cleared my throat and stated the first rule. " This duel is between you, me and Derek no one else. You can't use your family's influence either. "

Professor Alaric grinded his teeth and nodded his head.

" Rule two ", I continued " This is not going to be a fight, it will be something else. "

" what? " The professor's brow furrowed in confusion, he was sure that if it was a fight he could beat him however he wanted.

"And finally, rule three," I continued, " the outcome of this duel will be binding. The winner's decision will be respected and accepted by all parties involved. No matter what the losers need to hear and agree with what the winner says. "

Suddenly Derek intertwined, "What is this duel about? As one of the participants, I need to know about it. "

" It's a bet, I bet that I will score more points than you in the hunting simulation exam. "

Derek's eyes narrowed he was expecting that I would directly fight against them, but I'm not dumb if I fight them then it will be over for me.

Professor Alaric, "What is my part in this bet? "

I giggled and said, " I just want you to give me full freedom for preparation this month. "

Professor Alaric, " huh? Why do you think that I will do it? "

" Professor! I only got a weak ability so I need to prepare for it. Do you think I'm doing this to lose? "

There was a moment of silence as Professor Alaric considered my words. Finally, he let out a resigned sigh, seeming to relent to my request.

Professor Alaric, " very well! What do we the obvious winners get? "

I laughed loudly and said, " You didn't win yet Professor, well if you win you can do anything to me I won't complain ever again. "

Professor Alaric and Derek looked at me like they already won, the professor said that he would give me the freedom for a month that I wanted.

" Professor I need you to write and give me the physical permission of freedom. Oh! And I want to share my one month of freedom with Sam too, he is my partner so we need to practice together. "

Professor Alaric, " Very well, I'll provide you both with the necessary permissions for your month of freedom. take it as my mercy. "

Professor Alaric then wrote it on a piece of paper and signed it, he even used his family's seal on a paper like that.

Now both me and Sam have a month to prepare, so I have some plans in my mind. I know what to do to win the bet.
