The moment

The two men entered the arena, the two men positioned themselves normally, but suddenly the amosphere seemed to change, there were many more people than in the previous match and the number of people seemed to increase rapidly, Alexander did not understand but suddenly Ambani and he received on their mobile a rather peculiar sms, he looked at his phone and saw "Duel event at the Hunter arena! Chetan Ambani versus William Walton!"

He also saw the huge billboard, which also read "Duel évenement" - basically, all the other references to other duels seemed to have been completely erased to highlight their matches. This was undoubtedly a move by the bookmarker, who hadn't really appreciated the "All in" that Alexandre was attempting, after all, if Alexandre won the match, the arena would have to pay him $200,000 from their own funds, which was obviously unimaginable for them.

Alexandre quickly realized that, despite his surgical mask and the fact that he'd put on his jogging hood, people would eventually discover who he really was, especially William, who was undoubtedly in for a surprise when he learned that his duel was still going to take place.

Alexandre wondered if it was a good idea to pursue his get-rich-quick scheme on the back of the arena's seemingly undiscovered wealth. He also saw several professors from the academy taking their places in the spectators' gallery, recognized Professor Omega and Jack Blade, as well as other professors he'd met in the academy, and Ambani seemed ready to fight hard not to lose his bet.

Chetan, for his part, began to understand the situation little by little. Usually, the odds were always around 1, but now they had risen to 2.2, which meant that someone had placed a massive bet on his opponent.

But the problem was that Alexandre had put up too large a sum of money just to have a good fight and given up, his hands and fists seemed to be tied...

Suddenly, a forty-something hunter woman in armour and a man with a microphone arrived, apparently the referee and Robert Pakerson, the arena's host.

Suddenly, the microphones lit up and Robert Pakerson began to speak: "Here we are at the end of the evening for the duel event of the evening! Cheton Ambani, the arena veteran known as the "Rookie Breaker" and opposite him a mysterious first-year student! Who, according to the spectators, has a great chance of winning against Ambani! How's the match going? Answer in 5 minutes! Don't forget that the bollards in the middle of the arena are available for betting!"

the woman accompanying Robert Parkerson stepped forward to the middle of the two candidates, then addressed the two men and said, "Here are the rules! No lethal blows, five minutes of combat maximum and above all the main one, the match begins and ends at the whistle! If one of you strikes another blow after the match has stopped, I'll take care of him personally! Is that understood?" the men nodded in approval, the referee added "Right, the match starts in 30 seconds! Get ready!"

Chetan and Alexandre both summoned their linked weapons, Alexandre drew his black gauntlet and put it on, then Chetan drew two small golden swords, very long but very thin, Alexandre deduced that they belonged to the warrior or thief class.

So he took advantage of the scanner with his pip-boy :

Alexander smiled, it seemed that his perception skill was once again rather advantageous, allowing him to observe any additional information about his opponent, despite being a level above his own.

the two men took up their fighting positions, waiting for the whistle and the start of the match.

They looked straight into each other's eyes one last time, the world around them seemed to freeze, as two men with completely different worldviews faced each other,

suddenly the whistle blew, announcing the start of the duel.
