Chapter 478 Challenge Speedrun

Clovis reached the arena, raising his head to see his opponent. The one who challenged him was a 23-year-old elite class student.

He had spiky blue hair and wore his uniform loosely as if he were a thug. However, Clovis could feel the extraordinary sharpness from his eyes and the wisdom in his eyes, making him realize he was just acting that way.

His opponent's weapon was a spear, which would be quite an interesting experience for him.

Clovis couldn't help but remember what happened a moment ago.

He had just returned from the bathroom before suddenly he was stopped by this man.

"Clovis from Libation Fiesta. You are interesting. Let's fight."

Clovis frowned. "I don't see any reasons for us to fight."

"If I win, you have to stay in the academy and join my club. If you win, I am the young master of the Undying Guild. I'll satisfy your request with that identity."

Clovis remained silent for a moment. Before joining the school, he had a brief talk with Hana, most of it was him complaining though.

Back then, Hana said, "Do you know how to speed run? While the school is boring, there are still plenty of strong people there. In fact, there are plenty of Tier 4 students who are able to fight Tier 5.

"Each of them has developed their own unique technique, which will be a great experience for you.

"I'm sure that you won't regret fighting them. Besides, if you beat the crap out of them, I can finally laugh at them.

"I'm not a fighter myself, so I can't really bully them, but you can. If you show your strength, they'll be interested in you.

"Since you are only joining the academy for the event, they will be interested in forcing you to stay. Beat them up and request whatever you like from them. This should be enough for the bait."

Because of this very reason, Clovis accepted the challenge.

'It's truly like Hana said. If I remain quiet, time will pass. I guess it's fine to be a bit more famous here.

"Hyaahaa!" Sullivan thrust his spear multiple times in rapid succession, forcing Clovis to take a step back as he parried all the thrusts.

"As expected from the devil, he is overwhelming Clovis."

"But isn't it an embarrassment for someone like him to challenge a guy seven years younger than him?"

"In a real battle, there is no age. You either kill your enemy or die!"

"A club president is indeed something else. There is a reason why they are chosen."

"They are the true elites of the academy."

"Clovis has no chance to win against him."

"I know right? I've heard that the devil has killed a lot of Tier 5 beasts. Even though Clovis is strong, he still can't defeat a Tier 5 beast on his own."

"Clovis is sure to lose this match."

"Still, the devil is always fighting his opponent relentlessly... Can't he just give the first move for Clovis just to be fair?"

The match obviously garnered a lot of attention, not only from the junior class but also from the senior and elite classes. Even other clubs came to take a look at their match.

Clovis was being pushed back again and again until he was close to the wall.

All of a sudden, Clovis took a deep breath, unleashed his full speed, and started matching Sullivan's speed.

"!!!" The audience widened their eyes in surprise because, for the first time in the entire match, they reached a stalemate.

'I see. He is strong. This is going to be troublesome. His affinity is blood like mine. He is utilizing his speed so skillfully that I have to block his attack.

'However, the most dangerous thing from him is that thrust. He is able to use the ranged attack like me, but instead of a normal ranged attack, it is actually generating a wind pressure that stays around his spear, only increasing the range of the blade. That's the reason why he is able to injure me in his first attack.'
