Monster Integration

As we were chatting with the guest, suddenly all chatting quite down as the Teacher finally made an entry, hand in hand with Elena's father.

Both of them looked perfect, especially the Teacher who is wearing a long violet gown, she looked extremely beautiful that as she made an entrance, everyone's eyes got glued on her.

Professor invited the Teacher and her husband to the center of the ballroom, and at that moment, the band stopped playing, which gathered attention to the central stage.

"Welcome, everybody. Before I say a few words about my beautiful sister, I would like to thank you for helping us celebrate her 45th birthday." "We are so grateful that you took some time out of your busy life to join us here. Tonight wouldn't be nearly as amazing without you!" said Professor and raised the champagne glass in the air, which was mimicked by others.

"Happy 45th Birthday, my dear elder sister," Professor said, and the whole ballroom cheered, including me.

Usually, such speeches were given by spouses, but Elena's father is a member of the Supreme, and it would not do good for academies prestige to have him give the speech.

"Thank You, everyone, for gracing me with your presence; I can't tell you how happy I…" The Teacher started her speech. The speed lasted for a few minutes before she began to greet each person with her husband.

"Phew, I was finally able to get away; Sir John is too much sometimes," Ellen said as she appeared beside me. "I wanted to come to you, but I couldn't see how he is taking you from one person to another," I said, to that she just smiled.

"How are you feeling, any nervousness?" she asked, "No, I am quite looking forward to it," I said; I had never fought the dual in a traditional sense, and seeing so many people of the same stage as me, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Be careful; the duals are not like a fight; duals require far more brains than the fights." She said. I couldn't help but nod at her advice.

Duels are fought in limited space, which makes the battles even more complicated. Here are strategy is very important; in the duel, those with slightly weaker strength have a chance to win over their stronger opponents if they used their brains well.

"This is seriously good; why aren't you eating any of it," Ellen said as she took another bite from her dinner plate. "I can't; I am practicing something which forbids me to take the foreign energies," I said.

Hearing that she arched her brows in doubt, she clearly did not believe my excuse, but she did not press it when I did not answer.

Two hours passed, and nearly everyone finished with food and chat, and now everyone is waiting for the last segment of the celebration; the Teacher had realized that she walked into the center of the ballroom.

Just as she did, a circle of one fifty meter diameter lit up with her as the center. "There are very things I have done which I am most proud of, and one of these things is accepting Micheal as my student."

"He has all the qualities that I wanted in my student and some more. He had made me proud at every step," Teacher said as she looked at me. Hearing such praise, an unexplainable feeling couldn't help but arise in my heart, and my eyes became misty.

"Micheal, come let these friends challenge you to the dual." Teacher said, "Yes, teacher." I said and walked into the ring of a right that had been created when step inside.

"Who will challenge the Micheal First?" As she appeared beside me, Professor asked, "I, Rocke Johnson from Red Lava Fort, will issue the first challenge." Said a voice right after Professor finished

It is from stocky looking young man around my age, with a powerful Peak Duke Stage aura radiating from him, and as I had expected, he is from the Emperor Grade organization.

Usually, there are nine challenges in the Dual, three from Emperor Grade Organisation, Three From Tyrant Grade, and Three from Supreme, and sometimes independents squeezed between them.

The stocky young man soon appeared in front of me; there is only fifty meters distance between us as runes regulate.

"You both know the dual rules, so I will not bore you with it, the duel with when I said ONE," Professor said.

The Rules of Dual are pretty simple; there are two ways to beat the opponents, first thoroughly beat him like a normal fight or make your opponent cross the line, and your will win automatically.

"THREE, TWO," "ONE!"

"Ahhh…" Just as Professor said one, a blazing red aura burst out of my opponent's like a dam, and a red lava spear appeared in his hands as he came at me screaming.

He speeds remarkably, and seeing him using all his strength, he likely wanted to finish the dual in one move, a bold strategy, I might say.

If I am not wrong, he has core Inheritance of Red Lava Fort, which I don't remember correctly, but I know that type of thick blazing red aura created by their core strategy.

His speed is good, so is his strategy, but unfortunately, it is far from enough to beat me.

Sup!

I let him came halfway when emerald green vines with a faint look shot out from my back; its speed is so great that most of the dukes only saw it as an emerald blur.

The vine moved with the speed of lightning, and soon it reached the stocky young man, and before he could do anything or too slow to do anything, he found himself getting wrapped by green blur.

When it comes to himself, he found himself stopped and completely bound by thin emerald vines. The vine had tied him in such a way that he could move even an inch.
