Infinite Mana in the Mage Academy

"Dude, what are you doing here? There is a duel! A special duel!"

"Special duel? What's that?"

Some unknown students of Mage Academy chatted with each other. As one was simply telling him about the duel that is going to happen.

"A duel where one can't use mana. In one word, it is a total fist fight!!"

"What the hell? Who is fucking out of mind to hold this duel?"

"It's Harry! The known genius of this Academy who becomes Tier 3 mage just in his second year."

"What? He is Tier 3 in his second year, and I am in my third year still trying to break through Tier 3."

"Well, that's the life of us normal ordinary students."

"Yes... By the way, who is the fool that accepted this duel?"

"It's Allen, the Tier 0 trash...Wait, he is now Tier 3!"

"WTF! Tier 0 is also a Tier 3 now. Why am I even cultivating? It seems, except of me, others are advancing to Tier 3."

"I am here too... Anyway, let's go watch the duel."

"Sure."

The nameless students walked toward the dueling platform, where the majority of students are waiting for the match to begin.

The cheers and boos could be heard all over the place. Well, no one cares about it.

Allen stood at one end of the platform and Harry stood opposite of Allen.

"Hey senior, dueling without any bet is boring, isn't it?"

Harry said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, junior. What should we bet? 10 thousand gold, or some treasure?"

Allen replied him another smile.

They seemed to have a gentle temperature which is nothing but fake.

"No no, what's the point of betting on money? How about, who wins this match gets a date with Hina?"

"What? Sorry, but Hina is not an object to bet. And she has her own will, and it will be rude for me to bet on her without her consent."

"So if she gives her consent, it will be right?"

"Yes."

Allen also didn't mind betting on her since he has a quest to complete. But he can't go betting without her decision.

Harry looked at Hina with a smile and asked in a gentle voice. "My lady, would you accept the proposal?"

Hina was in a trance, whether she should accept it or not. But it was her fault that it came to this. She knew this good-for-nothing senior was aiming at her. Because she talked with Allen, this senior couldn't hold his anger and challenged him.

"She isn't an object to bet!"

From the crowd, an angry voice rang. Ken jumped to the dueling platform and stood near Hina. He was furious.

"She isn't something you can bet on?"

He scolded both seniors in front of him without any fear.

"No... It's ok. I will go on a date with the winner."

She agreed reluctantly.

"You don't have to force yourself to agree to that?"

Allen walked towards her and calmly said that.

"No, because of me, you are in trouble... So, I should get this much punishment, right?"

She said softly, with her cheeks little red.

Ken didn't want to believe Hina becoming shy to the mysterious senior. But he couldn't do anything for now.

"No, it's ok."

Allen put his hand on the top of Hina's head.

"Huh?"

He gently rubs her skill smooth hair. Hina didn't shake off the hand, instead, she felt the warmth.

[Ding! Affection raised by 2]

[Ding! Affection raised by 1]

[Ding! Affection raised by 3]

[Ding! Affection raised by 2]

[Ding! Affection raised by 2]

...

Allen looked at the window with a satisfied smile.

Then pull off the hand from her head and jumped on the platform.

"Ah!"

Hina let out a disappointed sigh as she watched Allen standing on the platform with a smile.

She felt weird feelings surfacing in her heart. She longed for Allen. She didn't realize that she had already started feeling the love.

"Are you two ready?"

One old man who had a white beard asked the both of them. He was the witness of this duel as well as the referee.

""Yes.""

Both participants answered.

"You two can't seriously injure each other. And any magic spell can't be used. With that said, let the match begin!"

As he announced, Harry rushed at Allen with a devious smile.

Allen also took a fighting stance.

"Aaaaa!"

With a scream, Harry swung his fist at Allen.

Bang!

With a bang, Allen felt the impact of the punch, but he had already blocked it off with his hand. Harry was stunned. His confused expression amused Allen.

Harry immediately raised his leg to kick Allen, but that was also blocked off by Allen's legs. Harry jumped back to create some distance.

But before he could get back, Allen grabbed his collar and threw him off.

"Wha?!"

Harry was dumbfounded. He didn't even realize he was already on the ground.

Allen raised his leg and forcefully hit his stomach.

"Gah!'

A painful voice escaped from Harry's mouth. He rolled sideways and stood. He touched his stomach with both hands and gritted his teeth.

With a frown, he took a deep breath.

Again, he jumped at Allen.

Allen immediately dodged him. But a sudden kick landed on Allen's leg. It was unpredicted. Allen took a hit, but it wasn't anything serious.;

"Tsk!"

Harry clicked his tongue seeing his attack had no damage.

All the visitors looked at the fight with glimmering eyes. Looking at the duel they were all excited.

"Bet! Who will win; Harry or Allen? Bet now!"

"I bet 100 golds on Harry!"

"I bet 200 golds on Allen!"

...

Students started betting while Hina was worried about Allen and Ken was worried about Hina.

"Y-You, do you know martial arts?!"

Harry asked with a grim expression, no ordinary people could block him off.

And Allen's body was also strong, unlike ordinary people, his body felt like iron.

"Don't ask questions in the middle of a duel!"

Allen lightly said before charging at Harry.

He ran at Harry and Harry took a defensive stance. However, Allen jumped in the air, Harry was going to block his attack.

But instead of attacking, Allen jumped and landed behind Harry, which made him a little surprised. But before he could react, a fist had landed on his head which made him somersault.

The students cheered looking at the battle.

"Go Allen go! Defeat that bastard!"

"I have bet 1000 golds on you! You better win!"

...

Allen ignored those comments.

As their battle looked ordinary, it wasn't. Their speed was incredible, they both looked like they have mastered martial arts.

Their speed may not be incredible in front of a real martial master, but it was stunning for normal people.

It was rare itself to see a martial arts fighting. So, for them it was incredible.

Harry stood with staggering movement. He got some damage, but it wasn't that critical.

Their fight continued, as Harry jumped and raised his left leg attacking Allen's face. But Allen blocked it off with both hand, turned his body, and forced his fist at Harry's face.

Harry also blocked it off, but another fist landed on his stomach. He was caught off-guard, and the punch was serious.

"Gah!!"

He gasped for breath and looked at Allen like a monster who wanted to kill the human. His breathing became rag and like a madman, he rushed at Allen without fearing the consequences.

"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

He screamed loudly and attack Allen with his full strength. Allen wasn't stupid to take the attack, so he rotated his feet and swiped his body as the punch came near him.

"Huh?"

Harry punched the air, Allen only dodged the attack slightly and was near Harry.

Just as Harry was caught off-guard with his hand still in the air, Allen's lunch hit Harry's face.

"Arg!"

Harry cried as the punch was so hard that he flew out of the arena. His face was swollen red, and his cheeks puffed like a puff fish.

It was seen clearly that he got beaten badly like a dog. And Allen was neat and clean. This showed...

This was a one-sided battle!
