The Reincarnators
chapter 24: the bet

"we're going to start the second half, which is a fight between Kazuto yuki and jack darkus after a 10-minute break" said the referee who left the arena, kazuto himself went to the pharmacy room to see ren who was still bandaged by the nurses, because he did not want to disturb, but he did not, kazuto leaves the pharmacy room and returns to the podium where he waits for his fight with jack.

"alright, the second round will start soon please for the participants Kazuto yuki and jack darkus to enter the arena," said the referee who after that kazuto and jack came down from their place and stood in the middle of the arena looking at each other.

"teacher see, it's the teacher's student," said theodor who pointed towards kazuto.

"yes, I saw him theodor," said theodor.

"teacher, how do you think the end of this fight is" asked theodor to his teacher.

"are you worried if something happens to Kazuto, ?" ask Leon back to his students.

"worried, I was more afraid of how kazuto would humiliate the child of that earl's family," said theodor who pointed towards the child of the darkus family, who was the son of the darkus family, it was obvious that theodor more or less knew how strong kazuto was better than the other noble families, so he knew that kazuto could defeat the rancid boy from the darkus family, no, no, he actually secretly put his money and bet if Kazuto would win that match.

Whereas in the other noble places, they were looking at the fight between the young master of the darkus family and the commoners who had good relations with the 2 noble families in the hexion kingdom.

"that kid was lucky enough to get a place to be able to show his talent in the hexion academy, but his luck has ended because he met my son," said the earl darkus who laughed at kazuto.

"that's the best joke I've heard in years. Earl Darkus, and I thought you couldn't do anything useful other than make nonsense, but I'm sorry it turns out you have a knack for being a clown," duchess Elinstein said that defending and insulting behind earl darkus for underestimating the man who saved her daughter, while the other nobles who heard that only laughed a little if not grinning with the duchess's taunts.

duchess Elinstein herself loves her daughter very much and she has never seen her daughter that happy since the arrival of kazuto even though in other events she always tries to make herself as comfortable as possible, but for the first time his son can enjoy his time by being himself.

Honestly, the duchess's opinion regarding kazuto is that he is a good boy with a bright future, not only that he also intended to make kazuto and katia as lovers because he could not stand the attitude of kazuto who did not respond to the feelings of katia, but the duchess knew that Kazuto must have thought about the status difference between them, and for a commoner to be able to marry the daughter of a duke let alone the princess is the heir of the elinstein family then kazuto would at least need the rank of an earl if not a duke to be able to have a relationship with him, then kazuto would at least need the rank of an earl if not a duke to be able to have a relationship with him, or if he is related to the royal family, he had previously heard from the bird news that princess Lousse had an interest in kazuto to be willing to use her magic to help him learn.

Of course when hearing that the duchess felt that kazuto had very good luck, and would benefit her if kazuto had the support of the future heir to the throne, he said, although she and her husband said her daughter could marry the person she loved, it would be difficult to remember her status as an heir to the elinstein residence.

"so you're saying, that boy can beat my son, don't make me laugh, jack when he was a kid has got his education from a high-class teacher, there's no way a commoner like him can beat my son," earl darkus said confidently that his son would not lose.

"in that case, do you want to bet," the duchess bargained.

"bet, you said, ?" ask earl darkus.

"really, if your son is indeed who you say he is, then I am sure that if he is an outstanding noble, then I will risk my daughter to become your son-in-law if Kazuto loses the match, then," the duchess elinstein said in a statement announcing the prize for her gamble, the right to marry her only daughter, the heir to duke elinstein.

of course, when he heard the tempting offer, the earl immediately agreed with the offer given by the duchess, because marrying a princess of carnatia meant making all property owned by elinstein into property belonging to darkus, who was the owner of the duchess, when that earl's smile became so wide that it made the other nobles who were nearby to be horrified.

"then what about you, ?" asked the duchess who at that time hid her smile to earl darkus as if waiting for his prey to get caught in his trap.

"w-how about me," replied earl darkus.

"then what about what I'll get, ?" the duchess asked earl darkus.

"you didn't expect that it was just me who would put a prize in this bet right, " said the duchess who began to show her smile.

"certainly there's no way I'll forget it" said the earl darkus who laughed awkwardly if he was too blinded by the duchess' offer gift, 'fuck, how is this, how is it, if I cancel this bet then I will become a laughingstock by the other nobles, but.' thought earl darkus.

'but if he accepts this bet then it is certain that he must risk something as valuable as what was wagered by me, that must be what he thought,' thought the duchess who had toyed with earl darkus in her hands to play a game that she would never be able to win.

"b-well I'll also a-will bet," earl darkus told the duchess.

"then what are you going to bet, I hope you risk something valuable enough," the duchess told the earl not to offer it with a cheap item and told him to give it something equal, "if you can't think about what the land you just bought on that beach is like" the duchess said.

"i-that, well anyway I'm sure that my son will be the winner," said earl darkus who was relieved by what the duchess wanted was just the beach land he just bought, which he said, the only thing there is mountains, and a clean spring, the only thing that made him lucky was if the earl still hadn't built any projects there so he just ran out of money to buy the land, but little is known by earl Darkus with the duchess' plan to use the land.

"then we agree, and for the nobles present, I want you to bear witness to our bet" said the duchess, who received a nod from all the nobles present.

"alright jack, make sure to win this fight," muttered the earl darkus who felt that victory had been in his hands.

"alright, the participants are ready, start," said the referee who at that time jack prepared his dark magic, and created a kind of magic around the kazuto and tried to ensnare him.

"shadow binding," cried jack who after that appeared various ropes around the kazuto, but before hitting it kazuto activated his blue magic mode and in an instant was on the edge of the arena avoiding the dark snares of jack.

"i think it's my turn" said kazuto, who was still in his blue mode and ran towards the jack with his hand holding the sword still in its sheath.

"shit don't come any closer, shadow spike," yells jack who when he raises the peg from the ground tried to stop the kazuto movement but kazuto just avoid it and run towards the jack and when that kazuto was behind him with his sword which when it was flowed by the electricity back into the sheath.

"arrrgghh," cried jack who was hit by kazuto's lightning strike and was unconscious.

"the match-up is over, the winner is kazuto yuki" said the referee, who was surprised by the result and announced kazuto as the winner.
