Chapter 146: The Battle between Rabid Dogs and Warthogs (2)
Roderick had heard from Curitis that Brady had recently summoned a new puppet from the Pseudo-Life Gate.
As for the racial rarity, it is still the enviable S+ level.
It seems that it should be this Seraph.
Since it was just summoned, its rank must not be high.
Moreover, Roderick didn't think that a waste like Brady, who only relied on the performance of the puppet, could make good use of a puppet like Seraph that required a lot of operation.
"Why, are you so scared that you can't speak?"
Seeing that Roderick remained silent, Brady said complacently.
"No, I'm just very disappointed. Even if it's an S+ grade puppet, if the commander is a waste, it will be a useless waste."
"You...you guy..."
"Senior, I was hoping to adjust the stakes between me and this guy a little bit."
Roderick ignored Brady, who was red in anger, and looked at the student union senior who was serving as the referee.
This senior is Eudora V. Collinsdo, and she is a fourth-year student like Cecilia and Louise.
"Oh, I get it. But even if we want to change the bet, we need the consent of both parties. So, Mr. Zimmerman (Roderick), which one do you want to change?"
Eudora asked with a somewhat helpless expression.
"I want to increase the credits I bet on. Let me think... let's increase it to 50 million credits."
Roderick said pretentiously, making an exorbitant offer.
He planned to follow the same trick Alfred used and make Brady owe him a huge debt.
Because Curitis was very generous and had never asked for repayment so far, Roderick became more and more extravagant in spending money.
He also knew that he owed Curitis a lot of money.
Roderick didn't trust Curitis and always wanted to get rid of his debt relationship with him.
However, the money sent by his mother and sisters was not enough for Roderick to squander, let alone pay off his debts.
If we can squeeze money out of Brady, maybe we can solve this problem.
With this in mind, Roderick, who was convinced that he would win, tried his best to raise the stakes of the duel.
"…Although I really want to say, Junior Zimmerman (Roderick), please stop kidding me… Junior Ulysses (Brady)?"
Eudora showed a complicated expression and looked at Brady on the other side.
"…I refuse. Why do you have the right to raise the stakes just because you say so?"
Brady roared, unwilling to accept it or admit defeat.
"Oh~ Are you scared, you useless little dog? Bark woof~ twice."
"You...you fat, pig-brained bastard!"
"Hahaha, you really are just a useless little dog that can only bark. If you're not afraid, why don't you accept my suggestion and raise the stakes?"
Roderick continued to provoke.
"That's enough, Mr. Zimmerman (Roderick). If you continue to deliberately provoke Mr. Ulysses (Brady) to raise the bet, I will announce the end of the duel as the referee."
Eudora couldn't bear to watch it any longer and spoke out to stop them.
"Huh? Why?"
Roderick retorted unconvinced.
"That Elect (Alfred), didn't he deliberately provoke Ulysses to raise the bet? Why can that guy do it but I can't?"
Eudora was speechless for a moment and fell into silence.
Because of last Friday's duel, the Illya Arya school immediately began preparing to introduce new school rules to restrict random betting during duels between students and to announce a clear upper limit on bets.
However, because this is an academy where nobles gather, in order to avoid leaving any trouble or gossip in the future, the school must carefully adjust the wording of the school rules.
In addition, some tutors who come from aristocratic families do not care about students' random betting, and even think that excessive interference is just nosy. This has also led to the new school rules not being officially released.
As a member of the student union, Eudora had to maintain a neutral and objective stance, and for a moment she could not find any suitable reason to refute Roderick.
"Stop talking nonsense, you bastard. Do you want to duel or not?"
Brady, who was left aside by the two, yelled at Roderick impatiently.
"So are you going to raise the bet or not, you piece of shit."
"Asshole, stop talking to me. I'm not raising the stakes. If you're scared, just give up the duel and get out of here, you fat pig!"
"Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Ulysses has rejected your proposal. Do you want to continue the duel?"
Eudora looked relieved to see that Brady didn't lose his temper and clamor to raise the stakes between the two of them.
"Tsk, you coward. I know, let's get started."
Roderick responded impatiently.
(Really? What a useless guy. And this senior is the same. Although she looks pretty, her personality is terrible.)
Because he didn't get what he wanted, he complained unhappily in his heart.
After Eudora finished reading out the rules of the duel, she announced that the duel officially began.
"Flame Ghost Tiger, stop that useless Seraph for me."
Roderick ordered, pulling out the other puppet balls from his waist bag.
In order to hide his trump card, he did not summon all the puppets at the beginning of the duel.
The Flame Demon Tiger followed his orders and used the wall of flames to block the spears of light thrown by the Seraphim.
(If it's just this level, there's no need to call these two out, right?)
Seeing that the opponent's attack did not work, Roderick thought contemptuously.
But after thinking about it, he finally decided to carry out the plan he had designed earlier.
From the beginning of the school year to now, Alfred has always done something eye-catching and has become the focus of attention among the first-year students.
Whether it was boys and girls in the same grade or those pretty and lovely senior students, they all seemed to admire him.
This had always bothered Roderick.
He decided to take this opportunity to show off his skills and let all the students in the college know who should be the protagonist here.
"Giant dragon and turtle, Oiran butterfly fairy, come out!"
Roderick shouted in a chuunibyou manner, and a giant black turtle and a flower fairy with a pink head and a green gauze skirt appeared on the field.
Seeing this, Brady also summoned a new puppet.
It is a B+ grade Ice Crystal Rose Bird.
(What a surprise, I thought he only had one Seraph now.)
However, even if Brady had two more puppets, it would not change the fact that Roderick had already won.
