“I agree,” Candice answered with a smile on her face.
“A fight where we do not use our Skills correct? I am perfectly fine with that.”
When it comes to fighting against Star Beasts, humans mostly rely on their Skills, a Star Beast’s body is a lot stronger than a human who has the same level of cultivation.
A Star Beast is Stronger, Faster and sturdier than a human, however, there is one difference, and this is the Mana both of them possess.
Humans possess more Mana than Star Beasts, therefore, humans use Skills to fight and defeat Star Beasts who have the same level of cultivation as them.
Of course, only a few humans who have a high-level Mastery over their Skills, like Thyra, can defeat a Star Beasts this way.
It is not wrong to say that Skills are what divides a normal human cultivator and a powerful human cultivator.
From this, one could understand how important Skills are.
However, this also means another thing,
Without using any Skills related to Mana, the difference in strength between an Advance Stage and Master Stage Cultivator decreases significantly.
Master Stage Cultivators are only a little stronger than Advance Stage Cultivators when it comes to body strength.
Therefore, this battle indeed looked fair from an outsider’s perspective.
However, it was not.
A big smile then appeared on Candice’s face as she muttered,
“Of course, since we are going to have a battle, it is only right for us to bet something, am I right?”
A similar smile appeared on Nux’s face as he increased the pressure on Myrill’s face and answered,
“I had the same thought.”
“Alright, then how about this,
The loser would have to apologize to the winner after the Battle ends.” Candice proposed.
“Huh? Just this?” Nux frowned.
He was actually a little disappointed.
Apologize?
What kind of condition was that?
Tsk Tsk.
And as if hearing his thoughts, Candice’s smile widened and she conditioned,
“Of course, it won’t just be a normal ‘sorry, I was wrong’ type of apology.
Rather, the loser would have to get on his knees and rub his nose on the ground and apologize.
In front of everyone present in the Battle hall, of course.”
Nux raised his eyebrow when he saw that crazed smile on Candice’s face.
Wow…
This girl was ruthless huh…
“T-This is too much!” Evane, who was listening to everything stepped forward.
“Teacher Evane, I believe you do not have any right to decide on the content of our bet.” Candice turned towards Evane and narrowed her eyes disdainfully.
She did not like this bitch one bit.
“Teacher Evane,” Suddenly, Nux called.
He then turned towards Evane and smiled politely.
“I am grateful that you are worried about me, however, this bitch dared to slander you. That is something I, as your student cannot accept and would like to see her apologize.
Please do not interfere in this battle.
I hope you put your trust in me.”
Candice’s face twitched when she heard his words, however, she controlled herself and smiled,
“Teacher Evane, even your student wants to continue with the bet, please do not interfere.”
Evane then glanced at Nux and seeing that the latter was nodding, she turned silent and stepped back.
Candice then turned towards Nux and smiled,
“Do not forget about the bet, commoner.
We fight 2 days later.”
“I would like to the ‘Queen of the Academy’ rubbing her nose on the ground. Heh, won’t it be similar to this dog of yours?” Nux smiled back as he glanced at Myrill who was lying on the floor with Nux’s shoes on his face.
“Uughh!”
The man tried to move and save himself from further embarrassment, however, Nux just increased the pressure and he was forced to turn silent.
Nux then glanced at Oswald and smiled,
“!!!”
Oswald’s entire body trembled in horror and he stepped behind Candice.
Nux then glanced at Candice and smiled provocatively.
Candice, however, didn’t react to his provocations and turned around.
‘Heh. We will see who gets the last laugh, commoner.’
She thought in her head.
She has not forgotten about her vow.
She would make Nux’s life hell, however, she cannot do it if he is part of a Marquee family.
This was why she came up with such a humiliating punishment, once Nux do something like that in front of the entire Academy, the Smith Hardwick would step back and break their ‘sworn’ brotherhood.
No Marquee house would take that Humiliation after all.
And once Smith Hardwick backs away, everything else would be simpler.
Then, she can play around with this commoner’s life as much as she wanted.
As for that bitch who was trying to protect him?
Heh.
There is only so much a mere teacher can do.
There is no way that bitch Evane can protect him if she, the Queen of the Academy was the one who was targeting him.
Thinking about everything, a small smile appeared on Candice’s face and she walked away, her followers followed behind her and she ordered.
“Spread this everywhere in the academy, I want every student to know about this.”
“As you command, Lady Candice,”
Her dog nodded respectfully, as for the other dog who was lying under Nux’s floor,
She did not care about him.
An embarrassment like him isn’t related to her.
Yes, she has abandoned Myrill Bourkee.
Just like that.
“Hehe~ Looks like your owner left you here to rot, little dog.” Nux chuckled as he glanced at Myrill.
Seeing her walking figure, Myrill gritted her teeth.
Let alone saving him, she didn’t even look at him!
And that wasn’t worse, his brother, that bastard was walking away with her without caring about him at all.
Candice was one thing, but even his own brother had abandoned him.
“Tsk Tsk, and you were so proud about being her subordinate,
Earl Bourkee would be so so disappointed.”
Nux chuckled.
“Nux, that is enough, let him be.”
Evane muttered.
“As you say, Teacher Evane,”
Nux smiled.
He had already achieved what he wanted to do after all.
