"Shameless boasting." Kaunitz could not even be bothered to look at Fang Xingjian. In his eyes, Fang Xingjian, who had 'failed his job transition', could not even be compared to people like Carter and Zhou Yong. He was someone who had been eliminated, a complete piece of trash.
However, what Fang Xingjian had said was not wrong. The real time for the battle had been today and not last night. It was just that when everyone saw Fang Xingjian 'failing his first transition' last night, they subconsciously felt that he had stood them up.
Class 256's instructor, Dick, said coldly, "Fang Xingjian, you've failed your job transition. You no longer have the right to continue staying in this classroom. Leave quickly and don't pester us endlessly. "Also, I've already applied to the headmaster to cancel your villa and maid, as well as your monthly resources. Those resources should not be wasted like this."
To think that the Prefectural Champion in his class had failed his first transition. If not for Kaunitz's genius performance, his situation in the academy would have been even worse. Thinking of his own teaching evaluation this year, Dick's gaze towards Fang Xingjian was filled with even more disgust.
Fang Xingjian only stared coldly at Kaunitz, the provocation in his eyes clear. Although he had been focusing on his cultivation during this period of time, it did not mean that he was unaware of the rumors going around. He was not a robot, but a person who was left with only rage and hatred, as well as more negative emotions than ordinary people.
It was just that in order to fully focus on his first transition, he had been unwilling to waste time on Fang Xingjian. After all, he only had slightly more than four years left.
But now that he had finally completed his first transition, he no longer had any reservations, nor did he intend to put up with Fang Xingjian's impoliteness.
Moreover, the Ice Age Meditation Art he was cultivating required him to advance bravely, using his martial arts to get rid of the injustice in his heart. How could he tolerate Fang Xingjian's casual humiliation?
"Haha." Seeing Fang Xingjian's provocative gaze, Kaunitz stood up. A violent force field swept through the surrounding air, emitting crackling sounds. Even the tables and chairs in the surroundings creaked as the air was compressed and distorted.
"Don't try to anger me, Fang Xingjian. The last thing you should do in your life is anger me." Kaunitz raised his chin and looked at Fang Xingjian with a condescending expression. "For the sake of our schoolmates, I'll give you one last chance. Apologize and admit your mistake, and I'll let you leave with dignity."
"Kaunitz …" Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly as he said faintly, "Say no more. Let's meet on the dueling platform."
A dangerous glint flashed in Kaunitz's eyes as he took steps forward. The Reduced Force Field was like a strong gust of wind, pressing down on Fang Xingjian's body, unceasingly pressing down on his shoulders, limbs, and spine.
"As you wish, Fang Xingjian. Today will be the last day you want to remember in your life." Kaunitz calculated the time and said, "Then let's meet on the dueling platform in an hour's time. I hope you don't stand me up again." With that, he smiled at Fang Xingjian with a mocking expression.
He wanted to give enough time for more people to see Fang Xingjian being trampled under his feet. He wanted to let him vent his resentment from being defeated by Fang Xingjian in one move. Kaunitz wanted to let everyone know that in the entire Class 256, in this year's Prefectural Selection, only he, Kaunitz, was the true genius.
Kaunitz turned to leave, with Barbara, Ferdinand and the others following behind him. Barbara flashed a cruel smile at Fang Xingjian, making a throat-slitting gesture with her palm.
In their eyes, Fang Xingjian was doomed today.
Dick walked past Fang Xingjian and let out a cold snort, "Ridiculous." His eyes were filled with disdain towards Fang Xingjian. In his eyes, Fang Xingjian had completely failed his job transition and had lost his mind, coming to the classroom to create trouble and humiliate himself.
'But it's good that Fang Xingjian can be chased away like this. A useless person like him who has failed his job transition will only drag down my examination results if he stays in the class.'
Jack and Anthony came to Fang Xingjian's side. They did not say much, only nodding and saying, "Xingjian, be careful. It's said that Kaunitz has started learning Killing techniques since last month. Be careful of his Reduced Force Field."
The group headed in the direction of the dueling platform. The news that Fang Xingjian had failed his job transition and was still going to duel with Kaunitz on the dueling platform spread throughout the entire Royal Knight Academy in an instant.
Along the way, many of the staff and students from the academy who saw them knew that they were going to duel. Out of curiosity, they followed along. They looked at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at an idiot.
"How many years has it been? How many years has it been since there has been a duel in the academy?"
"I had thought that since Fang Xingjian had failed his job transition, the duel would be over. Who would have thought that he would be so daring?"
"Daring? I think it's stupidity. To challenge someone who has completed the first transition without going through the job transition, he's just courting death."
When Fang Xingjian and the group slowly walked to the dueling platform, there were already over ten Knights rushing over. There were even instructors, academy staff, and staff rushing over.
Seeing Fang Xingjian and Kaunitz walking over, everyone's gazes were filled with different emotions.
"Fang Xingjian, didn't he fail his job transition? To think that he still wants to challenge Kaunitz to a duel? "
"Is this guy crazy?"
"It's such a pity for Fang Xingjian. If he hadn't insisted on choosing the Windstorm Sword Hero, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state."
"This is called overestimating one's capabilities."
There were only one to two hundred students and teachers in Kirst Royal Academy. Including the maids, cooks, craftsmen, and other staff members, there were definitely not more than a thousand people. It was really not a big number. Therefore, the news that Fang Xingjian and Kaunitz were going to continue the duel spread throughout the academy very quickly.
Fang Xingjian did not pay them any heed. After arriving at the dueling platform, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate.
He continued to cultivate his sword arts from head to toe. One could see his muscles and bones under his Knight attire trembling, entangling and twisting as he circulated his sword arts and Waves.
More and more people rushed over, including instructors like Dick, and even Hogan from the City Guards Institution came to the dueling platform.
Seeing Hogan walking over, Jack's eyes lit up and he said, "Boss, why are you here?"
"Of course it's to give lessons. Although it's just in name, I'm still the academy's instructor and have to come a few times every month." Hogan looked at Fang Xingjian, who was cultivating with his eyes closed.
He had thought highly of Fang Xingjian during the Prefectural Selection, and had even won fifty gold from a bet with Dick. Seeing how Fang Xingjian was resting with his eyes closed, he tried to persuade him, "Fang Xingjian, cultivation is not something that can be fought over. Do you want me to talk to Kaunitz and the others? You should recuperate first. It won't be too late to fight with him after you've completed your job transition. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions."
Anthony added, "That's right, Xingjian. There's plenty of time for a duel. Why are you in such a rush? Even if you're in a rush, you should first recuperate from yesterday's injuries." They had seen with their own eyes how Fang Xingjian had vomited a few mouthfuls of blood yesterday.
"It's fine."
However, Fang Xingjian abruptly opened his eyes and casually replied. He then stepped onto the arena and bellowed, "Kaunitz, come on up. Don't waste any more time."
He shook the muscles all over his body, and a series of crackling sounds rang out. Then he took big strides towards the arena.
His display of strength was extremely violent, but his heart was calm. He had calculated all of Kaunitz's actions in his mind, and was calmly simulating the process of the battle.
Kaunitz furrowed his brows slightly. Only half an hour had passed. However, although it was not in line with his plans, he was not willing to retreat at this moment when he looked at the more than a hundred people below the platform. With a light tap of his foot, his entire body streaked across the air in a graceful arc as he arrived on the platform.
He was wearing a blue Knight attire, with three longswords hanging from his waist. His golden hair fluttered in the wind, and the corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile.
He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Today, we'll have a duel. I'll let everyone know … who is the true genius in this year's Prefectural Selection …"
