Chapter 31: About the incident of meeting a very unique instructor at the beginning of the school ye

"Hey, why are you suddenly looking at Rose-senpai? Are you trying to show off your relationship? Damn it~ You already have such a great fiancée, and yet you still have the luxury of playing around with other cute girls..."

Leonard noticed Alfred's reaction and complained.

But halfway through the complaint, it turned into a jealous complaint.

"Don't talk nonsense, Leonard. I and the others are just healthy friends or classmates."

Apart from Liliana, who glared at him from time to time, Alfred had no emotional entanglements with anyone else.

And Liliana's current resentment is also her own problem.

This has nothing to do with Alfred.

This is true.

"Do you think others will believe me if I say that?"

Leonard glanced at Alfred resentfully and motioned him to look around.

Well, it’s true that quite a few boys cast jealous glances at me.

"By the way, Al, is there really no problem with the duel this afternoon?"

Just when Alfred was worrying about what to do with Leonard, Rose asked worriedly.

"Sister Rose, you asked the same question this morning when we were having breakfast. I am not unprepared, so please don't worry."

Alfred replied, giving Rose a confident smile.

"That's true, little brother Al, but that guy Holwar is quite powerful. You actually agreed to duel with him as soon as you entered school..."

Aeril put down the knife with some worry and stared at Alfred's face.

"Please don't try to force yourself. If it doesn't work, we can use the authority of the student union to stop this duel.

If we in the student union follow suit, that guy won't openly cause trouble for you and Rose like he did this time."

“If you do that, it will only cause trouble to you, Aeril-senpai, and Cecilia-senpai, right?”

Alfred said.

"Besides, how can I put it? I am also a boy and I have my own face to look after. Moreover, the other party seems to have been harassing Sister Rose for a while, and has caused Sister Rose a lot of trouble.

If I don’t teach him a lesson, I’ll feel a little unhappy.”

"Hey, Al, you are also a fool~"

Aeril shrugged her shoulders, not intending to continue persuading him.

The next person to speak was Cecilia.

"Since you have made up your mind, Junior Alfred, we can't stop you any longer. But is there no problem with the bet on the duel proposed by Junior Hall?

If you really lose, Alfred, you will have a very hard time in Illya and Arya for the rest of your time."

Lucius proposed three duel bets.

If he wins, Alfred must break up with Rose and cancel their engagement.

Although it was overbearing and mean, Cecilia seemed to think that these two points were not a problem.

Because even in the eyes of others, Alfred and Rose have a very good relationship.

Even if the engagement is temporarily cancelled, it will not have much impact on the relationship between the two.

The problem is the last one.

Holva demanded that after Alfred lost the duel, he must pay him 10,000 credits in one go, even if he had to borrow from the school.

Normally, the average credits a first-year student can earn in class each week is around 1200 to 1300.

If the interest offered by the school is taken into account, if Alfred loses, he may have to bear a debt of credits for an entire semester in his first semester.

This may cause great psychological pressure for him who is just starting to adapt to the school environment and has to balance academic courses and necessary social activities.

This is what Cecilia is worried about.

"Don't worry, Senior Cecilia. I don't intend to lose to the opponent. And I also proposed something similar in the duel bet. If I win, I can just return the credits I spent on the start of school to Sister Rose."

Alfred replied in a half-joking tone.

He wanted to use this method to reassure those who were worried about him.

"Ah, just like Ariel said, you are an idiot, Alfred-kun. But I understand. Although there is nothing I can do for you right now, I will cheer you on."

Senior Cecilia pressed her forehead as if she was troubled and gave a helpless bitter smile.

"But, Al, did you ask Holwar for 10,000 credits as well? That guy is at least the runner-up in the second grade. If it's just 10,000 credits, it won't put too much pressure on him, right?"

Aeril thought of something and asked curiously.

"What's more, in the second year, they can go to the nearby Warner Fairy Forest to hunt monsters and exchange the monsters' magic cores and materials for credits."

She said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"I always feel that asking Holhua to pay only 10,000 credits is too cheap for him."

"Eh? No, I proposed that if I win, the other party must pay 250,000 credits in one go."

"Eh?"

"Eh?!"

"Clam?!!"

Except for Rose and Liliana, everyone looked at Alfred with stunned expressions.

"Any questions?"

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Alfred asked in confusion.

"Although, although the amount is a problem, will that guy Holhua agree to it?!"

Aeril asked in a voice that was almost like a scream.

"Well, at first he was reluctant to accept it. After I provoked him a few words, Senior Holhua agreed angrily and said that he would definitely make me look good."

"...Hey, Rose, isn't little Al a little scary?"

Aeril leaned close to Rose's ear and whispered.

But whether it was intentional or accidental, Aeril’s voice also reached the ears of others.

"Ahahaha... Well, Alta has been doing strange things from time to time since he was a kid."

Rose responded with two helpless dry laughs.

"This isn't something that can be described as strange, right?!"

"Al, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. But don't get hurt."

Rose ignored Ariel's complaints and looked at Alfred seriously.

"I understand, Sister Rose, don't worry."
