I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainous Aristocrat Who Tries To Steal Women From the Protagonist in a

Chapter 14

Ch 14 Magical duel, and once again the heroine falls asleep

I’m going to have a magic duel with Hermire, a character in the book.

We are in the schoolyard of the Academy of Magic and Witchcraft.

“Are you familiar with the magic duel?”
I nod my head as I have seen this event many times in the original story.

Meanwhile, Roy, who was watching nearby, raises her hand.

“Um… what is a magic duel?”

Including Roy, there seems to be a few people here and there who don’t know.

The teacher nods and provides an explanation.

“It is the traditional dueling method of the wizards. Once the duel begins, a special alternate space is created. Any damage there is not returned to reality.”

“Damage return… what is it?”

“Whether you are cut by a sword or burned by magic, you take no damage when the duel is over.”

A magical duel is supposed to be a divine ritual.

In exchange for pleasing the gods, who love to duel, the duelist gets a body that will not die during the duel and will not feel pain even if damaged.

However, there is one clear difference between a magical duel and a real-life fight.

“The difference?”

“Yes. A magical duel is a sacred ceremony held in the presence of God. The oath made prior to the duel is absolutely obliged to be observed.”

In other words, the promise made before the fight is absolutely fulfilled.

“If I win, speak the truth and apologize!”

Hermire won’t stop saying that I am cheating by using magical tools.

She wants to maintain her own legitimacy by calling me out on my dishonesty.

“The truth is nothing but the facts…”

But a magical duel? I don’t like it.

To be honest, I don’t want to stand out.

Well, it doesn’t matter if I lose.

I’ll just do it properly, apologize properly, and try not to get involved anymore…

“Let’s get this over with.”

“Wait a minute. You didn’t say what the conditions would be if you won.”

“No, I don’t need those…”

“Then it won’t be a duel. Well… if I lose, I’ll become your slave!”

Which… yeah…

No, I don’t want it…

No, wait.

Being a slave means that I can make her do what I say without the magic of obedience, right?

In other words, if I tell her to stay out of my life, she’ll never get involved with me again.

Yeah, I’ll do my best.

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

“Then…”

“Oh…”

Me and Hermire approach each other.

We hold our wands together like swords.

This is like a ritual before a duel.

We both turn to each other and keep a certain distance.

“”Magical Duel…!””

At that moment, a light ward develops.

Inside this ward, people do not die.

They gain temporary immortality.

Also, attacks inside will never hit people outside.

The space is cut off from the outside.

“Let’s go!”

Hermire starts chanting a spell.

“On my right hand…”

“Slow.”

I strengthen my body with a physical enhancement and close the distance in an instant.

“Wha!? Huh…”

I use my magic wand as a blade.

The wand turns into a beam saber.

I cut Hermire’s body at an angle.

“Kuh…!”

Poof, and something like the damage effect of the game occurs.

You never die in this area.

This is how it is handled in a game-like manner.

“How… fast you are. And this sharp attack is…”

“Good thing it was a magical duel. In real life, it would have cut you in half.”

There are life points in a magic duel.

4000 for each other.

If you give an attack, your points decrease.

When it reaches 0, you lose.

It’s really like a game, isn’t it?

A blow with the magic sword reduced her life by nearly 2,000.

“…..”

Hermire’s expression becomes calm.

She must have judged me as a marvel, seeing the amount of damage a single blow can do.

“I’m going to be serious.”

She pulls out a crystal from her pocket.

“[Summon]”

As soon as the crystal shatters, a magic circle unfolds.

A giant lizard with a red body emerged from it.

“Fire Lizard Salamander.”

The fire lizard stands to protect Hermire.

“Oh, is that even possible!”

Roy exclaims when she sees the follower that Hermire has put out.

“Yes, You can use anything you bring to a magic duel.”

The giant lizard spits out flames at me as it bends over.

I can easily avoid it with my reinforced body.

… But when I try to approach it, the fire lizard guards me.

“[Flare Burst]”

Hermire unleashed an intermediate level fire magic.

A violent explosion occurs at the same time as the shot hits the target.

The teacher nods in understanding.

“The follower is in the front and the wizard is in the back to release strong magic. This is the basic principle of magical combat. Hermire understands the basics well. You should all follow her example.”

In a magical duel, people don’t die, so the teacher must be doing this as part of the lesson.

Well, let’s see.

“Are you finished? You seem to be out of your depth in the face of my combination with the fire lizard.”

“No at all. I was just trying it out.”

“Trying…?”

“To see what you can and can’t do in a magical duel.”

I have never actually used my body in a magical duel, although I have some knowledge of the original story.

In a magical duel, no forbidden techniques can be used against humans.

[Absolute Obedience Marionette], [Forced Estrus], and [Instant Death].

They cannot be invoked. Or rather, even if you try to use them, they will be canceled.

However, if you turn it around,

As long as they are not used on humans, the forbidden arts can be used.

“[Forced Estrus]”

The fire lizard’s body stiffens with a jerk.

[Forced estrus] will immobilize the opponent when used on a monster.

“What are you doing? Avenge your enemy!”

“It’s no use.”

I approach with my legs enhanced by the body enhancement.

I get close enough to shoot and point my wand at the fire lizard.

“[Instant Death]”

At that moment, the fire lizard collapsed on the spot.

“Nah…! That’s impossible! It’s a level 30 fire lizard!”

With nothing left to protect, Hermire is completely cornered.

I point the tip of my cane at Hermire.

“……..”
Hermire looks really frustrated.

She’s smart enough to understand.

She knows that I can reduce her life to zero faster than she can unleash her magic.

“… You weren’t serious from the beginning.”

She murmured weakly.

“I lost nearly half my life with the first shot. If you had just hit the second shot, you could have won. But you didn’t do it.”

“Well, I’m not cutting corners.”

There might be another duel like this in the future, so I wanted to get used to it.

“I know… I’ve been made painfully aware of it. Both your wonderful body enhancement magic and… the forbidden arts.”

[Instant Death] is too powerful magic.

But it cannot be activated normally. It uses the life of the magician to bring death to the opponent. That is why it is designated as a forbidden art.

“Are you going to surrender?”

“Yes, [Surrender]”

At that moment, the duel field is released.

I won the magical duel.

“Wow, that’s amazing…”

A student who had been watching our battle muttered in amazement.

“He won against Hermire…”

“Marcoy won…?”

“No way…”

Yeah, it’s a bad look…

But oh well.

Now I’ve got the right to not get involved with the main character, Hermire.
