Chapter: 98

“I’m lucky. I wanted to meet you.”

He was polite but also suspicious.

“If you are asking about me, shouldn’t you be introducing yourself first?”

The young man then grinned.

“Oh, mind my manners. I am the 200th cadet, Yumpa from the 19th group.”

“Chun Yeowun.”

Yeowun answered coldly and Yumpa asked, “I know this is a strange question, but can you duel me?”

Yeowun frowned. He didn’t expect a request to duel while he was eating.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking you to duel me.”

“...You have a problem with me?”

He couldn’t think of anyone other than from members of the six clans having grudges against him. Yeowun wasn’t completely sure, but he did cause some nuisance at the 2nd floor of the library.

“No-no. Nothing like that. It’s not that.”

“Then why do you want a duel?”

“Hmm... should I say, it’s too see if it’s worthy?”

“Worthy?”

Chun Yeowun was confused. He wasn’t sure if the worthiness was about the young man or about Yeowun. He then decided that there was no point in dueling him and shook his head.

“I refuse.”

“As expected... but too fast.”

“Why did you ask if you expected it?”

Yumpa didn’t seem to be let down. He then brought up an offer.

“Then let me explain what I can give to you if you accept. If you win the duel, I will give you vital information about the third test, and a small gift.”

He whispered when he said the third test. Yeowun became intrigued, but he didn’t show it.

“How can a mere cadet like you have such important information?”

“Well, I can’t spill everything when you won’t accept my duel request, but I guess I have to prove myself. My father once reached the fifth stage, so I know about everything up to the fourth test.”

‘Is he from a high-ranked clan?’

That was most likely if his father had passed the fourth test. Unlike Yeowun who entered the academy without any prior knowledge, most cadets from the high-ranked clans had heard about what to expect in the academy. But Yumpa’s offer had a flaw.

“I heard the tests go through changes each time. Your father passing those tests means nothing.”

“...That is true, but it still shares the same concept. It was as expected up until both tests so far.”

Yumpa was certain. Yeowun then began to hesitate.
