Han Shuo looked at the mage in front of him who was no longer young. This was a dark grand magus named Crowley. Ordinary students of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force might not have any impression of him, but Han Shuo, who had once worked as an errand boy in the necromancy major, knew of this person's existence.
Back then, Han Shuo and Jack had always been in charge of cleaning the statues along the road early in the morning. Every batch of outstanding graduates of the Academy would have a statue erected there. This Crowley was impressively one of the many statues. Han Shuo had even cleaned it for a period of time.
Crowley's days in the dark major were also the dark major's most glorious period. Ever since Crowley became a mid-level mage, the dark major's team led by Crowley had won all the competitions of the various major in the Academy of Magic for four consecutive years. After Crowley left the dark major, he also quickly became a dark archmage. Crowley had indeed done some great things in the past few years when he was travelling around the various countries of the Profound Continent.
However, as too much time had passed, due to Crowley's obsession with improving himself, his reputation slowly faded and was gradually forgotten by the people of the Lancelot Empire. Even some of the new teachers and students of the dark major had never heard of him before.
Han Shuo looked at Crowley who had challenged him and recalled the scene of Crowley looking up at his statue when he was still an errand boy. He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. Not so long ago, Han Shuo had actually become the opponent of such a character. Moreover, he was even the one being challenged. A sense of pride involuntarily arose in Han Shuo's heart.
It was precisely because of this that Han Shuo smiled, an extremely brilliant smile. However, in the eyes of the provocative Crowley, Han Shuo's brilliant smile was completely filled with contempt. Crowley felt as if he had been insulted. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Earl Brian, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you are looking down on my challenge and intend to reject it?"
Smiling and shaking his head, Han Shuo couldn't help but straighten out his mind from letting his imagination run wild. Only then did he start to size Crowley up more seriously. After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo furrowed his brows and said, "You've misunderstood. I was just recalling the past. Back then, when I was still a necromancy major errand boy, I had once cleaned your statue. I didn't think that you would issue me a challenge today. To be honest, I feel very honored!"
Crowley's face was filled with astonishment. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his old friend Deo of the dark major, as if he wanted to seek confirmation from Deo of the dark major.
"That's right, a few years ago, as an errand boy, he had once cleaned the long corridor leading to the dark major's teaching building. Eh, when you became a dark grand magus, I had once applied to the Dean to have your statue erected there. He was right, he had indeed cleaned your statue before. " Deo himself felt a bit awkward as he said these words. However, under Crowley's puzzlement, he still replied in full detail.
Hearing Deo's explanation, Crowley recalled that Han Shuo had once cleaned his statue. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart and didn't really want to challenge Han Shuo. No matter what, Han Shuo had once expressed respect to him. If he were to do this again, it would be a bit inappropriate.
When Deo, the person in charge of the dark major, saw Crowley's hesitant expression, he couldn't help but hurriedly signal Crowley with his eyes. He then smiled faintly and said to Han Shuo, "Earl Brian, do you intend to accept Crowley's challenge or not?"
"Of course, didn't I just say that I feel extremely honored!" Han Shuo smiled cheerfully. He shot a glance at Deo and understood what Deo was planning. However, Han Shuo had absolute confidence and wasn't afraid of defeating Crowley here.
"Very good. Then, I'll be the witness. The two of you wouldn't mind right?" Suddenly, Amyes walked out from the light major's side and said with a graceful smile.
The person in charge of the light major, Voigtlander, also walked over together with Amyes. Voigtlander looked over with a face full of schadenfreude. No matter if it was the dark major's Crowley or Han Shuo, they were both considered Voigtlander's enemies. He would be happy to admire no matter who won or lost.
"Crowley, this is Lord Amyes. You should have heard of him before!" When Deo saw that Amyes had come uninvited and even made this suggestion, he hurriedly introduced Amyes to Crowley who had left the Lancelot Empire for too long.
Back when Crowley left the Lancelot Empire, Amyes was only a Dark Star envoy of the Dark Mantle. They naturally didn't recognize Amyes. However, when he returned to the Lancelot Empire, he understood the current nobles of the Lancelot Empire. Now that he heard Deo's words, he couldn't help but bow towards Amyes and said with a smile, "Of course, it's best to have Lord as a witness."
"I'm also very honored." Han Shuo bowed towards Amyes and said courteously, causing Amyes to return the bow once again.
The teachers and students of the various major in the surroundings all rushed over. These people had all heard of Han Shuo's great name. Seeing that Han Shuo, this upstart necromancy grand magus, was about to exchange pointers with a dark grand magus of unknown origin, all of them were indescribably excited.
In the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, there weren't many grand magus level characters. Most of the teachers of the various major were only adept magi or archmages. The students would rarely even see a spar between teachers, much less a spar of this level. It was unavoidable that they would be indescribably excited.
"Brian, do your best. You'll definitely win." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded by his ear. Han Shuo turned his head to look and discovered that Lisa was excitedly clenching her fists and cheering him on in a corner.
Han Shuo's heart warmed as he recalled that Lisa had always believed in and supported him like this. After a period of time, Lisa had matured from an unruly and willful young girl. Not only did she appear more youthful and energetic, she also had an additional heroic and strong temperament. It looked like when life brought her pain, it also gave her some good things at the same time.
When Han Shuo gazed at Lisa, he also saw Fanny beside Lisa. Fanny was different from Lisa's unconditional trust towards Han Shuo. Her gaze was forever filled with worry. No matter how strong and strong Han Shuo was, as long as there was a trace of danger to Han Shuo, she would feel uneasy for Han Shuo.
Grinning brightly at the two girls, Han Shuo then turned his head to look at Crowley. He asked in a refined and courteous manner, "Then, how do you want to compete? With my usual habits, no one has ever survived a fair and square duel with me. "
Crowley was startled when he heard these words, an obvious astonishment on his face. Crowley only knew about Han Shuo's background and past from Deo. He himself didn't know too much about Han Shuo's past. Now that he heard Han Shuo's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I can explain this on behalf of Brian. Including Brut Merchant Alliance's Leah Cain, Brian has killed a total of thirteen opponents on the spot. En, let me remind Mister Crowley, Brian also killed the Redbud Knights' Dragon Knight Celt. Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, so I'm telling you in advance." Amyes saw that Crowley was somewhat astonished and knew that he might not be too clear about Han Shuo's past, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Hearing Amyes' words, Crowley's heart trembled once again. His gaze towards Deo carried a bit of anger. Deo saw Crowley's angry gaze towards him and obviously felt a bit guilty. He awkwardly turned his head away. After hesitating for a moment, Deo suddenly opened his mouth, "Forget it. Hehe, the two of you are actually considered to be members of our dark major. Let's not compete on such an auspicious day, so as to avoid harming the harmony."
Under Crowley's furious gaze, in addition to Amyes' reminder, Deo finally realised that he had been blinded by anger. Crowley was invited to the dark major. If he was killed by Han Shuo's hands, he, Deo, would definitely be scolded to death by others. Perhaps even the teachers and students of the dark major would push the blame onto him after the matter was over.
"Mister Crowley, I think it's better to forget it. Hehe, Mister Deo's words are reasonable. Let's not harm the harmony, you guys are still considered to be on the same side! "Amyes smiled faintly and said to Crowley.
"No, I still want to compare notes with Count Brian." Crowley was in a difficult position to back down from everyone's gazes, so he braced himself and insisted.
At this moment, a white light flickered in the center. Babylon Academy of Magic and Force's Dean Emma appeared. She looked at Han Shuo and Crowley respectively and said with a smile, "Comparing notes in magic is a common method for mages to improve themselves. However, there's no need for enemies to fight to the death. Brian, today is the annual recruitment, you wouldn't be thinking of not giving face to your alma mater, right?"
"Of course not, I was just joking earlier. Hehe, anyway it's just for fun. If Mister Crowley doesn't mind, how about we change to another place?" When Han Shuo saw Emma appear, a friendly smile immediately hung on his face as he invited Crowley.
Crowley clearly heaved a sigh of relief as he laughed dryly and said, "I've left for too long and I'm not too familiar with this place. Where do you think is more suitable?"
"Don't choose, let's go to the dark major's number one training ground. There's a large-scale magic barrier inside. You guys just have to be careful and don't harm the harmony." When Emma saw that Han Shuo didn't take it seriously, she also heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
In this way, Han Shuo and Crowley both agreed. The student recruitment meeting was suddenly halted midway. When Han Shuo and Crowley entered the large scale training field, the teachers, teachers, and students of the various faculties also hurried over.
