45 seconds duel

'Tcch'

Jayce clicked his tongue and jumped up, hovering 10 feet above the ground, he used his ability.

"Fire Dragon-slayer magic: Fire Dragon's roar!" Flames started to emerge from his mouth.

'Fire Dragon-slayer magic: Fire Dragon's roar.

Description: Release enormous amounts of fire toward the target.

Cost: 200 AP

Cooldown: 20 minutes.

Jayce's hurled a torrent of flames toward Poppy with a damage of 7670! Although not as strong when he was in the Dragon mode. It's still a hurdle for even Poppy to deal with! After all, she can't afford to get hit and his flames are AOE! It's big enough to cover the whole circle!

'I'll see how you'll dodge now!' Jayce sneered, thinking that victory is already in his hand.

"Mhm, the ability to use fire, did you get blessed with the goddess of fire, Brat? and that dragon form you used during the invasion. You are certainly not one of the dragon race, but how? How many secrets do you have brat?" A low and lazy came from behind him.

!

Jayce tried to turn around, but he was mercilessly kicked in the butt, knocked down to the ground.

"TIMES UP! According to the agreement, Poppy is the winner!" Soraka announced.

Jayce who got his face planted on the ground got up with difficulty.

'Damn, you old hag! Why are you bullying a junior!? Are you that free??' he grumbles.

"HAHAHA, that was awesome brat. You are a monster, all right. Worthy of being the chosen one by our leader!" Poppy laughs, one of the reasons why she proposes a fight is because she wants to dig out his secret! Not in a bad way, of course, she wanted to test his limit and try to fix his shortcomings.

Although he is blessed with some unknown and mysterious strength, he is still too young, he needs more experience and some face slaps! If not, the boy will get killed in the future due to arrogance.

"What were all those moves that you used. I couldn't sense you when you disappeared, as if you teleported." Her body heat disappeared several times during the fight, but how? Unless one is cold-blooded, or some unknown techniques that could hide one's body heat, they wouldn't be able to escape his sense!

"Ho! What a sharp sense you had." Poppy praised

"Indeed, you could say that I "teleported", after all the move dabbles with space-element! Albeit a low-level one."

"Space-element!? Then isn't it Arcane power?"

"Who said anything about Arcane? Remember the first lesson that I taught you. Only the strong that have the most creative mind can harness their prowess. There are cultivators out there with strong bodies that can even shatter the fabric of space and time! It's all about the mindset!" Poppy said as she points at her temple.

"What I used earlier is called Flash. Depending on your proficiency in the ability, you moved so fast that you can skip reality, entering the fabric of space to skip distances!"

'FLASH!' so it was that ability! A summoner spells! Jayce who played League his past life understood this well, Flash is hand down to be the most Overpowered Summoner spell ever! Unless you are inting or playing a champion that doesn't require flash, you are griefing your teammates if you don't bring flash.

"WOW! TEACH ME PLEASE!" Jayce with shining eyes begged.

"hmph! I thought you said the training was pointless. What happened? Huh?"

"hehe," Jayce stuck out his tongue and laughed awkwardly.

"Plus, it's late, we need to go back before your mother gets worried. And you owe me a favor, brat."

'FUCK!!!!' his mood turns depressed. What if this old hag asks him to do something indecent!? how could he, a pure and innocent angel do such things?

..

"We're home!" Jayce opens the front door, entering the mansion.

"Welcome home guys! Jeez, you are dirty, go get washed up, dinner's ready!" Ximena appeared with a smile on her face. Ever since the incident, her depressive mood had turned for the better! Although they can't go back to normal life and pretend everything has ever happened, she sees a bright future ahead for her son! That's all it matters for her.

"You guys too, why don't you get washed up as well, you must be hungry! I made a big feast for all of us!" Ximena shows a big smile to Poppy and Soraka. It was all thanks to these people that she and her son got to live to see another day. For her, these two are her saviors and the debt could never be repaid!

Poppy who heard this froze.

"Me?" She points at herself, looking around to see if there is anyone else in the surroundings.

Then her eyes started to turn red, tears were threatening to fall. She, who had been alone her entire life, never got to truly experience this kind of warmth. Although Lulu is her godmother, she is a godmother for the entire village. It's not the same.

Hearing those warm words that are full of care and concerns made her emotional. Even the centuries-old Soraka felt emotional. She who had sacrificed her divinity due to her selfless nature also desires this kind of life but doesn't dare to. Why? Because she can't bring herself to love a mortal, it's not because she's disdained of them, but they are just short-lived. Imagine knowing the people you loved died around you, while you could do nothing about it. The cycle of life just kept rotating. Everyone desired immortality but for her, it's a curse.

She had steeled her heart for a long time now. But why now? Why at this moment? She felt her heart burn with emotions, her hope ignited, she felt that Jayce could truly give her the desires she wanted.

"YES!" They both exclaimed.

..

In the bathroom,

'DING! Congratulations player, you have received a straw hat!'

Although Jayce picked the second option, due to the unique challenge, he still got the reward due to accepting Poppy's challenge.

'Name: Straw hat

Description: The aura of a protagonist.

Usage: Depending on the Player's luck, the hat will give you corresponding plot armor.

Cost: Player must wear the hat.'

'WTF!?' Jayce stared at the description, wondering whether he should be excited or not. The hat would be extremely OP! If it were not in his hand... After all,...

'Luck: -10'

'The fuck am I supposed to use this. It said depend on luck, wouldn't this hat give me disaster instead of plot armor?'

So, Jayce just left it in the system. Who would he be kidding? If he takes out the hat now, unless he gets an interspatial ring, he won't be able to store the hat. He would take it out when his luck increases.
