Chapter 24 - Duel
I and Norman went to the square in the front yard.
Students from our class and Irene gathered around to watch the showdown. Some even were placing bets on who would win.
"Then? What kind of match will we do?"
"It\'s a duel."
Norman threw the glove he wore at me.
"We\'ll walk three steps back to back with each other, then turn around and unleash our magic. The rule is the person who hit a spell on the opponent first is the winner, how about it?"
"I see. Then the faster and more powerful magic casting speed is the winning factor."
"Moreover. It\'ll force you to give all your abilities as a wizard in an undeniable way. There\'s no such thing as a muggle win."
"Okay. Then we\'ll do it that way."
The method of dueling had been decided.
The students whispered to each other.
"Hey. Who do you think is going to win?"
"Well..... Kaizer-sensei is a terrific teacher, but.... Isn\'t Norman-sensei the best wizard?"
"But he\'s \'that Meryl\'\'s father, you know?"
"Ne, nee~. I want to be in on the bet too~. Nn? Which one do I want to bet on? On Papa, of course?!"
Before I knew it, Meryl was betting all her money on me winning.
With this, I couldn\'t lose.
No, I didn\'t mean to lose from the beginning.
"Kukkuu. Kaizer, This is the last time you can get complacent. I\'ll show you our disparity in power in front of everyone."
Norman put a fearless smile on his mouth.
"I am a man who graduated from this magical academy twelve years ago at the top. I have mastered three of the five major magic attributes. It\'s proof that I\'m a top-notch wizard. With my magic, after graduate from the academy, I played a spectacular role as a court magician. My background is completely different than a third-rate wizard from a village. Naturally, the number of tough situations I\'ve been through cannot be compared to that of a bumpkin third-rate wizard."
Norman talked about how great he was in a perky way.
I couldn\'t help but chuckle.

"This isn\'t a job interview. You don\'t have to self-promote. It\'s better to focus on the match rather than talking."
"Guh....! How cocky you are! Fine. I\'ll engrave my wizardry skills to your body!"
I and Norman stepped up to each other and stood back to back.
We took a step toward each other.
I heard the sound of the soles of our shoes scraping the ground with a steady.
Second step. The tension builds.
And the third step――both of us turned around as soon as our soles attached to the ground.
It was Norman who moved first. He raised his right hand towards me and tried chanting his spell to activate his magic.
"Haha! Kaizer! Be surprised! This is the chant revocation! An advanced technique that only a first-rate wizard could master! While you are still chanting your magic, my Thunder Arrow will pierce your body! Take it!"
When a magic circle appeared beside Norman, arrows clad in purple electricity appeared and would be shot out of it――the magic circle was swallowed up by a whirlpool of flames.
"...!?"
The magic circle that appeared beside Norman had disappeared without a trace.
It was the fire magic I unleashed――the Flame.
"I, impossible...! Is it a..... chant revocation? Kaizer. Why you do possess the same advanced technique as I do?"
"I don\'t think chant revocation is an advanced technique. I learned this in less than a month of learning magic, wasn\'t it common?"
"I, In a month, you said?"
"Yeah....Did I say something strange?"
"I trained myself bloody hard to learn chant revocation...! It\'s a bluff! This has to be a bluff!"
Norman shouted in disconcert――.
"Th, then! Water magic! With Water Shot that\'s resistant to fire magic, I should be able to neutralize his fire magic!"
Another chant revocation activated his water magic.
A blue magic circle floated over Norman\'s shoulder.
Water bullets were shot from there.
But――.
The Flame I shot out canceled out his water bullet.
"Gu..!?"
"Amazing....! To cancel out a water magic that should be incompatible...! The trick is due to the considerable difference in power........!"
Irene\'s eyes widened behind her glasses.
"Norman. Is that all you have?"
I asked Norman.
"Then, I\'m going to show you some of mymagic.――However, since I\'m ahead of you in both the casting speed and the power, so you don\'t stand a chance, right.”
Perhaps Norman understood this, his knees fell in place. He hung his head down as if he had lost the will to fight.
"Why...! You\'re supposed to be a third-rate bumpkin wizard. So why can you use all those magic...!"
"Because, My master taught me a lot of things when I was in the countryside."
"...Master?"
"Yeah. A wizard named Etra."
"Etra! Etra, you said?!"
"Do you know her?"
"No matter whether I know or not, she\'s a wizard who has gone down her name in the history of Royal Capital........ She was named the tittle of Sage same as Meryl!"
"As I thought, she\'s famous."
"She didn\'t take an disciple because she didn\'t want to waste her time on a talentless person. But you studied under her..."
"It looks like we\'ve got the winner."
Irene said, pushing up the vine of her glasses.
"It\'s Kaizer-san\'s win,"
"Papa. That was really cool~?."
Meryl ran over to me and hugged my arm tightly.
"However, I just took it easy?"
"What do you mean, take it easy?" said Norman raised his voice.
"Well, if I took it seriously, I might kill you. I force it to about three minutes."
"I\'m completely defeated. The way you teach and your abilities as a wizard are too different. It appears that you are a real wizard."
After that――.
Norman decided to give up teaching the class when I was at work.
And he and Irene began to take my classes with the students. Other students from other classes who had heard about my class came too.
It was so crowded that there was even who were standing.
It seemed like everyone was coming together, but――
"I\'m glad that everyone know the greatness and coolness of Papa, but it\'s much reduce the time for me to lovey-dovey with Papa,"
Meryl was the only one who seemed dissatisfied with her cheeks puffed up.
