Seeing this, Lucius couldn't help but feel a little weird.
Technically speaking, this should be his place and his time, but here he was, perfectly stealing everything away from him.
Hell! Even the ones that were supposed to be his women were at the side praying for Lucius's own victory.
Seeing all three of the heroines present, Lucius couldn't help but think about the ever shy girl, Nina.
But even after looking for a while, Lucius was unable to see the pink-haired girl, he was somewhat saddened.
Lucius sighed a little
'Sigh! It seems like my favorability is still not enough. I really do have to work hard from now on.'
If people could read his thoughts, he would definitely be hanged up and beaten.
After seeing three beauties on his side waiting for him, he still wasn't satisfied and wanted someone else.
Unfortunately, this thought never crossed Lucius's mind and he turned away unsatisfied
Unfortunately, Lucius's sight couldn't be constantly blessed by seeing beautiful women.
As he looked through the crowd, he inevitably landed on a snake eyed man, Oscar, who was smiling coldly and even worse, he saw Xander.
Lucius didn't know what drugs that guy had been taking, but somehow Xander had actually got his confidence back.
The second their eyes met, he just snorted coldly as he looked down on Lucius in a gloating fashion.
This was simply the best Xander had felt in weeks!
With such a massive turn out, the humiliation Lucius would feel when he was brutally defeated would be immense
He would teach that Poor Peasant bastard that there were some people that could t be messed with!
As Lucius saw Xander's mean gaze, Lucius secretly made a decision in his mind
No matter what the result of the battle was, he swore to secretly find Xander afterwards and beat him harshly.
He knew this cockroach villain very well. If this guy wasn't properly humbled and broken, this guy would just come back and cause more trouble.
Besides, after beating that bastard black and blue, seeing him mock him and look down on him after relying on connections to get him back pissed him off.
After all, as the head of the revolutionary army, using lackeys to jump his enemies was his go to.
If word got out that this was happening to him, where would his face as a villain go?
If Xander could read Lucius's petty thoughts, he would definitely cry tears of blood.
All he wanted to do was gloat at his enemy a little. Was it really such a crime?
He would have never expected that Lucius was so petty
But it wasn't a good thing, but with such a petty way of thinking, It seemed like Lucius was always meant to be a villain after all.
All of a sudden , Xander suddenly shivered as a cold sensation run down his back making him quite unsettled, but he swiftly ignored it and just relegated to a strange occurrence.
After wringing down his grudge, Lucius turned away from the man behind it all and finally gazed at the man who he would be facing today.
Louis stood tall like a drawn sword amongst the gazes of all the people pleasant with a pleasant silence on his face.
He had been told everything about Lucius by Xander and after finding out that Xander wasn't even a third-class fighter, even someone as capable as him would lack some caution.
So it wasn't a surprise that he radiated an overwhelming aura of confidence despite being in such a public battle.
As Lucius was looking at Louis, he heard a notification go off
[Ding! Conditions met! New mission detected!]
[Defeat Louis in front of a crowd of people and many heroines against all odds
Reward: +700 LP ]
Lucius looked at this and was pleasantly surprised.
Although it wasn't as ridiculous as the mission with Veronica 700 LP was still a decent amount and not something that should be scoffed at.
As Lucius was lost in thoughts about the new mission, he suddenly heard a voice
"Lucius, are you ready?"
Lucius looked at the man who was calling him and nodded.
"Yes Mr.Hoffman, I am ready."
The teacher overseeing the battle was Mr. Hoffmann.
At first, Lucius was surprised that the usually uninterested professor took an interest in his match, but that's when he remembered that Mr. Hoffman was the main examiner when he took the test to enter sanctuary.
It seems like I underestimated the interest Sanctuary would show to my fake talent'
Thinking about it, Lucius could only smile at the ridiculousness of the situation.
'Well I better give a good show then' thought Lucius
As Lucius had this thought, Mr. Hoffman stood in the centre of the arena and raised his hand
"Are Both parties ready?"
Mr. Hoffman looked over to see the nods of both Lucius and Louis and nodded his own head in satisfaction
"Then let the Duel begin."
As soon as Mr. Hoffman's words dropped, a deafening cheer rang out in the arena as both contestants jumped onto the stage.
Lucius quickly drew his sword and faced Louis whilst his opponent in question just smiled at him without any sense of urgency.
"Lucius, I'm warning you now. Surrender for your own sake."
Lucius just snorted coldly as he charged towards Louis. He didn't speak a single word, but his intentions were made obvious.
Seeing this, Louis just shook his head
"So be it then."
As Louis spoke, he stretched forth his hand and made a quick chant as a crimson fire arrow quickly formed in his hand before flying out at dizzying speeds.
Alarm bells in Lucius's mind started screaming as he suddenly tilted his head, only narrowly siding the flame arrow as the scorching flames licked his skin.
"Boom!"
The explosion of the fire arrow shook the floor behind him as a cold sweat formed on Lucius's forehead.
'Close!'
Lucius recoiled slightly at the narrow dodge of Louis's attack..
