Chapter 219 219: Amon Vs Elijah Part 1
"I am quite serious about you, Maisa. You should already be able to sense my sincerity, right?" Elijah spread his arms wide as he spoke.
"Absolutely crazy, what a hassle!" Maisa said while looking like at any moment she might throw up.
"I know, I know. You find him a nuisance too, right? I understood everything!" Elijah seemed to have some psychological problem, making him delusional to a level where he believed in his own delirium and took it for granted. His eyes became confident and mocking. "Amon, right? You coward! Stop threatening a poor girl to be your girlfriend. If you are a man, I challenge you to a duel!"
Amon's calm eyes showed no fluctuations of strong emotion, he saw the challenge appear on his digital watch. Clicking on the alert, another holographic image appeared. The duel would be worth 300,000 credits... an astronomical amount.
Although Amon didn't have this amount in credit, he could accept it when using Contribution Points. There was the option next to it to instead offer up 3000 Contribution Points, which was equal to 300,000 school credits.
Amon accepted the duel.
"Oh? I'm surprised." Elijah actually looked surprised, as he had put down this high value precisely because he had wanted to demonstrate to Maisa how rich and capable he was.

"Don't you watch the news?" Maisa couldn't stand it any longer. "You don't know..."
However, before she continued, Ariel stopped her.
"Let him screw himself..." Ariel whispered, only loud enough for Maisa to hear.
"Mm." Maisa made a nasal sound, and Ariel took her hands away from Maisa's mouth.
"Yes, you're absolutely right..." Maisa murmured.
However, once deluded, it would be difficult for someone to get out of such an illusion as Elijah was under. In fact, Elijah was already on the verge of tears. 'She must be very worried about me, but she was prevented from saying why!... Yes, I have received her goodwill successfully, but don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll win and I'll give all... half... No, 25% of the premium credits he used back to you!'
Nodding to himself, Elijah looked like he was having a moment of deep understanding. It was ridiculous how he looked like he was thinking about something serious, but if anyone knew his true thoughts...
"Attention, Amon Tang and Elijah Rodrigues de Sousa Silva Sauros, go straight to the designated duel area within 10 minutes."
Some kind of drone flew over and gave a warning, as they were taking too long to move. Hearing that, Amon and the girls went to the designated area. There were already some students there who had shown up when they heard the warning that a duel was about to start. The majority's interest was mainly peaked by the rookie who was being mentioned too often: Amon Tang.
"Hey, isn't that Elijah, the 'Prince' with more than a few screws loose from the aquatics department?" Someone pointed towards Elijah who was walking all pompously as if he were the center of the universe.
One girl then said, "Too bad. Although he's cute, and even somewhat talented, he has a lot of loose screws and doesn't even know that the girls in his 'harem' cheat on him constantly for credits."
"That's hilarious," another girl said, "I used to be one of them, but I broke up before he ever did anything so serious with me as even kiss. Seriously, I don't understand how he can be so silly and at the same time repulsive despite his appearance; I just couldn't even kiss him..."
"You, Otome, the hottest third-year in the fire department turned down sex with a hot looking guy?" One boy looked incredulous, mostly because he had easily managed to fuck her after a week of courtship.
"Is that so strange?" Otome wasn't offended; quite the contrary, she looked proud to be number 1. She said, "I just felt repulsed just thinking about kissing him. I don't know why."
A few boys started to look in Elijah's direction with some sympathy. After all, if even Otome hadn't had sex with him, let alone kissed him, he most likely hadn't gotten past holding any of his girls' hands before, right? Just thinking about this made some of them think that Elijah was a little too pitiful.
The conversation was kept at a low volume, and the group of people who were talking were a considerable distance apart, so Elijah didn't hear their conversation. But even if he had listened, he wouldn't have considered that he was the one they were talking about. His level of delirium had reached the point of having already deluded himself to the point of 'knowing' that he had already 'kissed' Otome, among other things, so he was, in his mind, obviously not the man she was talking about. Incidentally, he still considers her one of his women, even though she had already cut her connection with him.
The reality was that she had told him for family reasons she needed to stay away from him for a while. Of course, he was 'understanding' and took her statement perfectly, giving her space without even understanding that he had been dumped by her. The reason he reached this kind of delirium with her in particular was that whenever she asked him for credit, she had used the excuse that it was for family reasons, like buying something at the university to help her family, etc.
On one side was Amon, and on the other side was Elijah. Not far from Amon, were Bianca and the girls, while around the designated dueling area, there were many students.
As before, there were many murmurs, whether talking about Amon or Elijah. However, most were about Amon, as he had become the curiosity and gossip of the moment. Almost every student at the university had seen at least one video of his previous duels.
"Move to your positions," a robotic voice echoes, "Start!"
