Cedric’s Challenge

“Ethan Gremory, I challenge you to a duel.”

As soon as those words sounded, everyone who heard it looked at the handsome Second Year with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Ethan couldn’t help but admire Cedric’s tenacity to challenge him over and over again.

He first challenged him a day ago, but Ethan declined. This morning, he challenged him again, but Ethan once again declined.

Both challenges were requested in private when it was only the two of them, and Ethan rejected them both.

But, now, in front of everyone in the Grand Dining Hall of Brynhildr Academy, Cedric challenged Ethan a third time.

This time, he challenged him in front of many people, including the staff of the academy, with the intention of letting everyone know his intention of dueling him.

Cedric knew that Ethan might still reject his challenge, but if the latter were to do that, many would think that he wasn’t upholding the honor of Brynhildr Academy.
