Allen stood still, trying to catch his breath
But while he was trying to rest after all this effort, a piece of memory suddenly flowed into his mind
These memories made him helpless for a moment
He remembered the reason for this duel now
Apparently Allen had a fiancée named Rubina
But this idiot named Brad had a crush on Rubina and had been pursuing her for a long time
Rubina did not reject him directly, so Brad thought that Allen was the obstacle preventing her from accepting his feelings
Brad stood before Allen and ordered him to break off his engagement to Rubina
Of course Allen did what any man in his place would have done
He flatly refused it
But Brad was stubborn, which made him challenge Allen to a duel under some conditions
If Brad wins then Allen must end his engagement with Rubina
If Allen wins, Brad will stop bothering Rubina and will not approach her again
Did I fight a duel over a girl... Allen put his hand on his forehead
He was immersed in many conflicts throughout his life
This is what got him into fights for various reasons
Sometimes he fought for wealth and other times for domination
Of course, most of his struggles were to survive in the brutal world in which he lived
The feeling of success was addictive and he could never get enough of it
But for the first time, he felt frustrated about winning a battle
Because the reason for this battle was extremely trivial
If this news reaches the ears of his enemies, the reputation he has built over centuries will be destroyed in moments
This will certainly be a mark of shame that will follow him for the rest of his life
Allen looked at the person who started all this chaos
He approached Brad, who was unconscious, and started punching him
The stands fell silent as they watched Allen's actions
Even the trainer who was standing aside frowned at Allen's exaggerated actions, causing him to intervene, "It is not the manner of knights to attack a fallen enemy."
Knights' morals?
Allen wanted to mock these words, but he remembered that this man was an important person in this place
It is not wise to offend him now
Allen rose to his feet and looked up at the sky
His body was exhausted and all he wanted was some rest
This made him angry again about what happened to him
Allen raised his fist to the sky
Whoever this bastard is who wrote that clay tablet, I will make sure to find his grave and dig it all up when I return to Earth.
Allen made a promise to himself to get revenge on the person who got him into all of this
Would he have had a heart attack if he had explained more about the nature of this spell?
The audience shouted when they saw Allen raise his hand to the sky, thinking that this movement was to announce his victory
Allen shook his head and returned to the room he came from
--------------------------
As soon as Allen stepped into the room, Klaus jumped at him, shouting excitedly, "You did it!"
Martin was jumping around with a stupid smile on his face, "Seeing that idiot get his ass kicked like that was enough to brighten my day."
The two stopped celebrating when they saw that Allen was standing there, motionless
" is there a problem?." Klaus looked at him worriedly
"You weren't injured somewhere, right?" Martin looked around Allen to find anything strange, but Allen's clothes were intact and there was no sign of serious injury
"I'm just tired." Using his memory, Allen began moving towards the room assigned to him in this place
Klaus and Martin stared at Allen's back in confusion
------------------------------
Allen reached his own room with tired steps
He locked the door as soon as he stepped into the room
Then he put the sword aside and took off the leather armor he had been wearing all this time
Allen sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands
He remained in this state for nearly half an hour
In the end, he was able to digest all the memories that belonged to the owner of this body
It seemed that Allen Fontaine belonged to a family of knights who were serving a noble family in the north of one of the kingdoms of this world
There was a strict caste system
In this world, nobles were people who could eat cake while people like him ate bread
In fact, there are poor people who cannot even get bread
Despite all this, he was able to obtain proper training from a young age to be qualified to carry out his duties towards the family
The system was a bit simple
There is a central noble family surrounded by a group of knight families
He was appointed to serve one of the heirs of the noble Greatwood family
He was joined in this mission by his fiancée, Rubina Wolfe
The Wolfe family, like the Fontaine family, have been serving the Greatwood family for generations
Therefore, it was natural for a relationship to arise between these two families
Which ended with an engagement between Allen and Rubina
Their relationship was good until this farce began, the hero of which was Brad par excellence
Allen lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling
"I am a slave...?"
Although he was called a knight, this was nothing more than a nice name given to slaves
"A world with a racist class system, as if that wasn't bad enough." A miserable complaint came out of Allen
This might just be a nightmare and all I have to do is wake up...he closed his eyes in one last effort
Knock! Knock!
The sound of two soft knocks on the door reached his ears
Allen opened his eyes and saw that he was still inside the same place
"It seems real after all." Allen was disappointed
The knocking sound came out once, but this time it was stronger
Allen sighed as he gathered the strength he had to get out of bed and open the door
A teenage girl appeared in front of him, with chestnut hair like autumn leaves and emerald eyes. What was noticeable was that the girl was clearly shorter than him.
Allen was able to recognize this girl's identity immediately
This was his fiancée
No, she is the fiancée of the owner of this body
He felt some headaches from the complicated and tangled matters
But now the priority was to avoid raising suspicions about him
The two stared at each other for several seconds
"Aren't you going to let me in?" Rubina tilted her head slightly
Allen realized he was standing in front of the door
So he moved his body to make room for her
Rubina entered the room and sat on the chair next to the bed
Allen closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed
"I heard you had a duel with Brad." Rubina's tone was calm, as if she was talking about something normal
" This is correct." Allen answered coldly
"And I heard that you defeated him even though he used mana." Rubina's eyes became more focused on him
" I think so."
"..." Rubina stared at him with a blank expression
Allen's appearance and actions were so slow and depressed that for a moment she suspected that the news of his victory in the duel was a lie.
This was not the look of a winning person
She heard about this duel, and she couldn't help but shake her head at Allen and Brad's childish behavior
That's why she didn't bother going to watch this game
But after the duel ended, some gossip began to spread throughout the academy, and all the apprentices were talking about how Allen miraculously won this duel.
That's what prompted her to rush here to make sure this was true
She expected Allen to show off to her and babble about how he had crushed his enemy
It was normal for any hot-blooded young knight to celebrate his victories
But, strangely, he seemed calm, with an expression devoid of any joy in victory
