Chapter 56: That boy is a degenerate.

For a moment, I panicked when I was lifted up by that huge mass of bald muscle, but then it lowered me into a kind of circle where there were inscriptions and runes written.

And immediately I began to feel better. It didn’t seem to be directly a healing spell, but something that accelerated recovery.

certainly the kingdom spared no effort in anything, and this was magic technology brought in from outside the kingdom; not even in my house was there anything like it.

“Student Cristian, good job, you got here first. Here, this will help you recover,” he said as he passed me a cereal bar. I didn’t know what it was, but I ate it anyway.

It didn’t taste bad and, for some reason, I felt my condition improving faster. This is definitely an alchemical product, like potions, but with better effects, that had synergy with the circle I was standing in.

The instructor kept dragging the students who completed the examination and bringing them into the circle, which was five meters square.

I hadn’t noticed, but the rest of the people who passed out or gave up during the examinations were also in the circles as they recovered from fatigue.

I looked at my status window and noticed that my vitality, strength, and agility had increased by one point, which was surprising, since even if I trained a full day, I wasn’t sure I’d even go up one stat. That’s how efficient the instructor’s methods were.

’I’m sorry I said this was torture… wait, you know what? This was torture… I felt like I was dying many times… I’m not going to apologize.’

I almost mentally apologized to the instructor, but I remembered the times when I felt like I was on the edge, and my appreciation fizzled.

Besides, I could now easily get those stats with a night of pleasure, but my alternate self warned me that the easy way would only bring me pain and suffering, with other legacy users as a living example.

So I didn’t neglect my fundamentals, as in this class, which I now didn’t like at all, but was important for my foundation.

While I was recovering, I also noticed that, unfortunately, and to my bad luck, there was no magic circle for everyone, so I had to share it with Ivan’s mass of muscles and Eira’s small chest, which the instructor brought and whom I simply ignored.

At that moment, something caught my attention, and as I looked at it, a cold sweat started to run down my forehead. I immediately closed my eyes; I had to avoid that tragedy. I quickly looked at the world from a different perspective.

The reason was that the instructor was leading the weak William, who also barely finished the obstacle course, to the magic circle where my doppelgänger was.

It was a dangerous situation that made me wonder if the Goddess of Purity spoke to the Goddess of Luck, to turn luck away from me and fuck me up on purpose, because this was too much of a coincidence.

So I decided to run as far away from that pervert as possible and warn Elena.

“Elena, I think I feel better, why don’t we go to the bathroom?”

In fact, my doppelgänger was one of the first to give in, so I had spent a lot of time in the circle and no longer had a problem.

“eh?, my lady?”

Without understanding why, I simply dragged Elena and went to the bathroom. The instructor said nothing and left the dying William in the circle with an energy bar, while he kept bringing in more students.

But well, the important point here is that, although I had told Elena about my otherworldly background and how I was a man, I had not told her about my ’alternate self’ and my knowledge of the future.

In fact, in this world, although very rare, it is not that crazy or impossible for reincarnations to happen; during the age of the gods it was very common.

So Elena did not doubt my words too much, but a time-traveled returnee is something else, and in this world it is something impossible and would be considered fiction.

Even I don’t know how my alternate self did it, since he didn’t put those memories in me. I haven’t told Elena about future events or anything; I don’t want to burden her with such things, but I guess I have to tell her about William.

With that in mind, I dragged her to a secluded corner where we could have a good talk.

“My lady, what has happened, why have you entered the doppelgänger and brought me here, …. wait my lady , you are not thinking of…?”.

“Calm down, Elena, even I’m not crazy enough to do that inside the academy.”

“…”

“Well, I certainly thought about the possibility, but that’s not what’s important right now. Look, remember that blond kid the instructor was bringing?”

“Yes, the guy she’s usually with, my lady (Christian), what’s the problem?”. ,

“Look, that boy is a degenerate and a danger to girls. He’s someone very dangerous and he might fall in love with my original body.”

Well, William technically wasn’t that kind of person, but it was better to be safe than sorry, so I exaggerated a bit to convey the seriousness of the matter to Elena.

“Oh, so he is a person similar to my lady, I didn’t think there was anyone else like you, is that why you are friends?”.

“…”

’No, wait… why are you lumping me in with him?’

“So, my lady wants you to keep your doppelgänger away from your friend and avoid contact as much as possible, since he is someone like you?”

“Yeah, no wait, why do you keep saying he’s like me and who said he’s my friend…? Well, whatever, the point is that you should avoid coming into contact as much as possible. I’m going to leave an extra instruction on the doppelgänger to look down on him every time I see him. You take care of the rest.”

’Wait, come to think of it, I might get a taste for it. After all, I don’t know what he’s capable of, so just ignoring him as if he doesn’t exist is the best option’.

I repeated the seriousness of the matter to Elena one last time before returning to my body. But, apparently, I can’t catch a break from the problems. ’Haaaaaaahh…’

“Stop ignoring me, you pervert!”

When I opened my eyes in my original body, pitifully the first thing I saw was Eira, who was shaking me with an angry face.

’Haaaa, what does this little girl want from me? She never ceases to be a nuisance. I have enough trouble with William and she keeps bothering me.’

I had enough to think about with William and I was getting tired of this pushy girl who kept bothering me, so I was upset and asked her what she wanted.

“What do you want now? You know, you’re a nuisance.”

“Who are you calling a nuisance? Just answer me what I asked you.”

’How should I know what you asked me?’

But, understanding that I hadn’t heard her, she repeated the question.

“I asked you how you want the duel to go. The instructor said in half an hour we’ll start, and there are two ways: limited and free.”

So that was it. She looks like she’s anxious to take a beating.

“Oh, since you seem eager for me to tear you apart, I’m going to give you a head start. We’ll have a limited battle for the bracelets, so you won’t be able to cry saying there was something unfair. I can even ask the instructor to increase the restriction on mine to give you an advantage.”

“Who needs an advantage? I can tear you apart in an unrestricted duel, even in a purely physical duel.”

“Didn’t you used to be a mage, what can you do without your ice magic?”

Even though I said that, I had already realized her plan. I knew he wanted to resonate with his sister to make himself stronger and beat me up, but that didn’t bother me at all.

“No need, I can beat you any way I can, let’s do it!”

“Well, I can beat you any way.”

“We’ll see. Hmph!”

Not wanting to exchange words anymore, we both ended our conversation and looked in opposite directions.

All this time, the mass of muscle had been ignored, but hey, not that it was relevant. I had to beat this midget so badly that it would be enough to get her to stop bothering me. I simply concentrated on recovering quickly to get in better condition.

Half an hour later, the instructor began to explain that the rest of his class would be about partner fights. There was the option of free or limited fighting, but in both options we had to use only our bodies.

After all, this is a physical class, so even if we chose free, we would have to wear an armband that prevented external spell formation, but we could use fortification spells, something warriors commonly used.

At that point, he asked for volunteers and, obviously, Eira and I raised our hands. We told her we wanted a no-holds-barred duel. She and I went to the arena, which was relatively large with plenty of room.

The floor was padded, so we weren’t afraid of getting hurt; it was made of a material that absorbed impact.

Even with our power range, we wouldn’t dent the floor, and it wouldn’t hurt that much even if we crashed hard into it. everything in this academy is the best of the best.

The kingdom depends on us, so they spared nothing. On the spot, Eira and I stood, both unarmed. I had the advantage, since my way of fighting was unarmed to begin with, but I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

The reason was her damned trap ability, a sort of resonance or whatever they call it. It allows the user to share strength, or from my point of view, stats with the other wielder, making them both twice as strong for a short time.

In my opinion, it was a cheat skill, and honestly, I wanted it. I seriously thought about using the spear skill and shoving it up her ass so I could get it.

And lately, with her taunting me so much, the idea seemed more and more tempting in my head.

Once I got her, with enough luck, Elena and the rest of the people in my harem could get the ability, having a powerful trump card.

I had to stop my thoughts as the combat was about to begin, at that moment the instructor shouted.

“Begin!”
