In the dim wooden cabin, a faint light flickered momentarily, like the blinking eye of a cyclops watching over everything, foreshadowing the conflict about to erupt.

"No matter how many times you announce it, the result will be the same."

"We will not yield to power and trickery. If you want to tear it down, try using force."

The leader, Sister Zirwini, said nothing, but her eyes turned cold as she clenched her fists, showing a strong sense of refusal to negotiate.

"Students, while we enjoy campus life, we also need to consider the safety of the residents of the royal capital."

Lanchi coughed lightly twice and said in a friendly manner,

"According to the *Hutton Kingdom Fire Safety Law*, if you are not the owner of the house but insist on obstructing the state's planned demolition project, you may be detained for more than 15 days and fined more than one hundred pounds. Our intention is only to have friendly consultations with you and do not wish to attract the enforcement forces of the Hutton Kingdom Fire Department..."

As Lanchi spoke eloquently, the atmosphere in the club room gradually became tense.

The group of martial artists remained completely unmoved.

Even if they were really detained, they would never be frightened away by Lanchi's words today.

In short, they would rather be shattered jade than preserved tile.

Lanchi then stopped speaking.

Because he discovered that the students from the Knight Academy all seemed to have the potential to be outlaws and that the logic of the Sage Academy did not apply to them.

The atmosphere in the arena fell into a critical point, as if the next statement from either side would determine the course of events today.

However.

Frey nodded towards Lanchi, meaning to leave it to him.

The two quickly exchanged glances, as if they both understood something.

Frey took off his sunglasses, hung them on his chest, and raised his hand rather rationally, pointing at the leader of the Knight Academy, Senior Zirwini, and said:

"Since you think we are oppressing you with power, then if I don't need any tricks and just use my strength to convince you, will you still find excuses to stay here and desecrate the soul of martial arts, shamelessly hindering the work of the Student Council?"

"What did you say...?!"

The martial artists in the club room seemed to be provoked by his words, and the veins on their foreheads bulged.

Even the crimson-haired woman, Zirwini, clenched her fists tightly.

"Hehehe..."

Zirwini, the leader of the martial artists, sneered. As a sixth-level warrior, her eyes were as sharp as knives and full of anger.

"Are you planning to defeat us through a duel?"

The Knight Academy did have a way to resolve disputes, which was a fair duel.

As long as both parties agreed and chose to have a battle that gambled on the soul of martial arts, they had to accept the outcome, no matter what conditions were set.

"Of course, we will solve the problem in the knightly way."

After hearing this, Frey's originally straight mouth finally curled up slightly, revealing a smile of absolute confidence.

"Although it may be a bit of a blow to you to say this, it is undeniable that none of you can defeat this great one."

His arrogant voice echoed in the dim arena, and his eyes were fixed on the strongest woman, obviously ready for any possible battle.

Boom!

Frey's words were drowned out by a loud noise. Zirwini stomped heavily on the floor, causing the entire wooden house to shake, dust flying everywhere. The pressure emanating from her was as terrifying as a giant beast.

"You're Frey, right... this year's top freshman in the Knight Academy. I've heard of you, a genius with fourth-level strength at the time of enrollment, but you are very stupid and unaware of the absolute power gap between you and me, a strong person."

Zirwini seemed to have been provoked by him,

"Take back your arrogant remarks, kneel down here and admit your mistake, and I might let you go."

Frey had a puzzled expression on his face. He cast a compassionate gaze at this martial artist senior and sighed softly,

"Are you backing down, afraid to challenge me?"

His tone was full of helplessness, as if he had already seen through the essence of martial arts and the level of the other party. The opposite Zirwini seemed to be struggling, and her anger and hostility seemed insignificant in his eyes.

"...Me? Challenge you?"

Zirwini laughed in anger, then brushed the crimson hair in front of her forehead, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You have guts... just right, we can have some fun now."

"Each side sends one person. If you win, I will offer the club room with both hands. --But!"

"If you lose, you are never allowed to disturb us again in the future, and you have to deal with the school and the fire department on your own!"

Hearing Zirwini's unreasonable request, Hyberian subconsciously tugged at Lanchi's sleeve, her eyes clearly showing that she wanted Lanchi to stop Frey.

Once they lost, the responsibility and price were not something that the three new Student Council members could decide and bear!

However, Lanchi just nodded slightly to Hyberian, with a calm expression, as if everything was still within his control.

"Okay, I have no problem."

Frey directly answered Zirwini's challenge.

"Do you two agree too?"

Zirwini turned to look at Lanchi and Hyberian beside Frey. She didn't want any situation to arise where the Student Council members disagreed and went back on their word.

"I will witness this friendly sparring session."

Lanchi replied with his elegant and calm posture, politely and reasonably.

His voice was full of a sense of authority that had surpassed the Student Council, just like a principal passing by and spontaneously presiding over justice for the students.

"I...agree too."

Hyberian looked at Lanchi again and responded with a gritted teeth.

"Hahahaha, you three overestimating fools!"

Hearing that the three people's opinions were consistent, Zirwini laughed loudly, as if she already had victory in her grasp.

"Let me do it."

Frey and his companions smiled at each other. He seemed calm and determined, like an old soldier on the battlefield, with a unique perseverance and a faint confidence in his expression.

"No problem, I'm counting on you."

Lanchi was not very good at this kind of one-on-one arena. He often needed the help of his teammates, and although Hyberian was a fourth-level assassin, she was not very good at dealing with high-level martial artists.

Although Hyberian didn't know Frey's fighting style, she had noticed earlier that Lanchi and Frey had a brief moment of eye contact.

It seemed that after that, the two of them seemed to understand something and began to sing in harmony.

What was going on with this strange tacit understanding... was there a team voice chat that she wasn't invited to?!
