Chapter 489 A way to get CP quickly
The news of Leo House winning one more competition back-to-back caused a commotion at the university. It was because of one new student.
When they won the first-year duel competition, it was not that shocking, but for him to contribute while facing third-year students was what impressed others.
This was a big deal, as the difference was not just in levels but also experience, training, and resources.
What made it sound more absurd was that the ones he was facing were not average third-year students. They were one of the best students in their third year.
The blue skull mask became so popular that Rishi avoided using it. He facepalmed himself, 'Some wear masks to hide their identities, while others remove them to hide them.'
Some days passed in which he trained for some time. He visited the library and found a suitable ice element transformation technique.
This one was an advanced version. It would help him transform into an ice elf.
In this form, his physical strength would be less when compared to the Ice Giant form, but he would get more agile. He would also be able to use Shadow Element skills.
It was a perfect technique that ticked all the boxes; the only problem was that it cost many contribution points.
If he had asked for help from his house, it would have been easy, as he had contributed a lot, but he didn't want to depend on them.
Favors were like loans; the less you have them, the better. He had saved 1200 CP; now he needed only 300 CP more.
There were many ways to earn them, especially for him. He was a good beast cultivator and runemaster. That was not all; he could also sell some precious ore and herbs.
Or he could do it the traditional way of doing missions like most of the students, but he was too lazy for them all.
Why work hard when there is a simpler way? This meeting also intersected with his future plans.
He was also waiting to stretch his hands for a while. "It's time for me to challenge someone from the second floor. It had been quite peaceful since I defended my room."
Rishi visited the host warden and told him he wanted to challenge room number 301; each floor had 100 rooms.
The warden looked at him from top to bottom before asking, "You look like a first-year student, are you sure?"
"Yeah, I joined just this year. What about it?" asked Rishi.
The warden sighed, shaking his head. "Listen, boy, I know you want to prove yourself, but why not wait for some time? Second-year students are way stronger than you think."
"I know that's why I am challenging them. Can you please hurry? I have a class to attend."
Warned, he shook his head with disappointment. He opened his table drawer and took out a sheet of paper.
"Fill it out and submit it. You will be informed about the duel. I would again advise you to think again; once submitted, you can't back down."
"Don't worry, it's just someone from second year; you are worrying as if I am challenging third-year students," said Rishi as he started filling it out.
Before the warden could understand what he said, he had already left, leaving behind a form.
This challenge caused a storm in the hostel; they had never thought someone would do something this crazy.
"I already knew if it was something like this, it would be that guy. What is his purpose?"
"It's just to cause chaos and be in the news; we should learn how to get famous from him."
"Does he have a chance this time? I can never be sure with this guy."
Students in the hostel started discussing.
"He challenged the top second-year student; I think he has overstepped his boundaries."
"Didn't he eliminate two third-year students in the final match of the team competition?" asked another student.
"That was just a fluke that led to it. First, they never expected him to be that fast. His zone and the chain combo spell also left little to no time for them to react."
"He is right in a one-on-one match; they would not let him come that close. In a team fight, many factors are involved; it doesn't count."
"However, he does have strong finishing moves. I don't believe many would be able to survive his combo."
"You are right. It would be fun. I might as well be ready with my popcorn."
The owner of 301 accepted the challenge. He never thought someone from 200's room would challenge him.
This made it an easy win for him; he also wanted to get famous by being the first one to teach him a lesson.
Seniors in their second year were unhappy with him; how he became popular had made many jealous.
Everyone was excited about this battle; the date, time, and venue were fixed. After two days, a huge crowd had gathered around the battle ring.
The referee was already present, and everyone was waiting for the fighters. Soon, both fighters entered the battle ring.
Most of the crowd supported the second-year student, but only a small portion, including some first-year students, cheered for Rishi.
The senior with green hair and yellow eyes stared at his opponent and said, "This will be your biggest mistake. You are flying way higher than you should."
The boy with the blue skull mask just stared at the opponent, not commenting on anything. His silence surprised some people; they thought he was nervous.
"You forgot; the tallest tree in the forest falls first. I might have ignored it all if you had not been creating a stir here and there. What do you want to prove?"
Rishi just turned his head in the other direction, completely ignoring the opponent; this made the opponent clench his fists.
"I was right; you have no manners about how to treat seniors. I will try to drill it in your head; next time, you will greet me like other juniors."
The referee asked both participants if they were ready before squeezing his hand and announcing the start of the battle.
Senior was already irritated when he got ignored by Rishi; he charged at him, clenching his spear high in his right hand.
To his surprise, his opponent also charged at him, carrying a gray spear filled with purple-colored patterns that shone brightly.
The next moment, they both called out their auras, and their weapons made contact with each other.
'Clang'
They exchanged various moves; the spear of the senior moved like a snake carrying the breath of a dragon, while his opponent's spear moved like an icy storm.
'Boom'
It became intense, and the explosions started taking place.
'Swish'
With a fast jab, Rishi launched various black chains at the opponent. The opponent used his spear technique and blasted them into pieces.
A smile appeared on Rishi's face. He created a hand sign with his left hand, and the pieces of the chains shook and turned into black smoke.
From the smoke, new chains appeared, this time covered in a purple glow. These chains were faster and stronger.
