A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

He immediately shouted loudly, fearing that Shinguji Kurono might change her mind.

He turned his head, glared venomously at Lynn, and grinned menacingly.

"Did you hear that? Tomorrow, in front of the entire school, I will show you what true despair is!"

"I'll stomp your face into the ground!"

Faced with his clamor, Lynn didn't even bother to look at him.

His gaze remained fixed on the interested chairman.

He suddenly laughed.

"can."

He nodded, and then proposed a condition that instantly silenced the entire square.

"However, I hope that a 'life-or-death' agreement can be signed for this match."

A death contract?!

This is insane!

This guy named Lynn is absolutely insane!

This is Hagun Academy!

It is a knightly academy to cultivate the future pillars of the nation, not some lawless underground fighting arena!

Although the ranking battles within the academy are fierce, they are ultimately aimed at mutual learning and improvement, and the basic principle is to stop when the point is reached.

But he actually asked to sign a waiver of liability?

This means that this showdown will no longer be a competition.

Instead, it was a fight to the death!

"What...what did you say?"

Kirihara Shizuya, who was just moments ago extremely arrogant, now had a completely different tone in his voice.

He looked at Lynn in disbelief. Although he shouted that he would cripple Lynn, it was just empty talk.

He never imagined he would actually kill someone in the ring!

That would ruin his future, and might even land him in jail!

Lynn finally shifted her gaze from Shinguji Kuro to Kirihara Shizuya's face...

That look in his eyes was filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.

"What?"

"You don't dare anymore?"

"you……"

Kirihara Shizuya's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

If he backs down after being provoked like this by someone he calls "trash" in front of the entire school, how will he ever be able to face the students at Hagun Academy again?

"Who says I wouldn't dare!"

He practically roared, "Sign it! I want to see who dies in the ring tomorrow!"

All eyes were now focused on the chairman.

Would she agree to this utterly absurd request?

The playful smile still lingered on Shinguji Kurono's face;

"I cannot approve the waiver of life and death."

Upon hearing this, Kirihara Shizuya visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The surrounding students also thought it was only natural; the chairman was indeed rational.

However, Shinguji Kurono's next words made everyone's hearts jump into their throats again.

"However..."

She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

“I can add a special rule to this competition.”

"The loser will automatically lose their 'Swordbreaker' qualification, their magic core will be forcibly removed by the academy, and they will never be allowed to set foot in the world of knights again."

Boom!

If the "life-or-death waiver" was a thunderclap, then this "special rule" was a bombshell that detonated the entire venue!

4.0 Strips the Blademaster of their Qualifications!

Forcibly strip away the magic core!

For a knight, this is a punishment more cruel than death!

That means he will go from being a highly regarded prodigy to an ordinary person with no strength to even restrain a chicken!

This kind of despair, falling from the clouds into the abyss, is enough to drive any knight mad!

Too bad!

The chairman's move was truly ruthless!

Kirihara Shizuya's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He was afraid.

He was genuinely scared.

He dared not gamble everything he had to fight a madman!

Lynn looked at his dazed appearance, and the mocking smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

"Now, do you still dare to sign?"

"I……"

Kirihara Shizuya's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

175. Power banks are so useful, and there's a lucky draw!

Kirihara Shizuya's face darkened.

Those gazes that had been whispering before now fixed themselves on him without mercy.

Disdain, a look of clown-like contempt.

Just minutes before, he was enjoying the sense of superiority that those gazes brought him.

Now, those gazes have become a form of torture, a judgment against him.

"What?"

Lynn's voice rang out again.

"You don't even dare to gamble with your own jockey career, what kind of nonsense were you spouting just now?"

"I……"

Kirihara Shizuya's throat went dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Strip the knife-wielder of his qualifications!

Forcibly strip away the magic core!

This is worse than killing him!

All his glory and status are built upon his identity as an "A-class knight".

Without it, what is Kirihara Shizuya?

"Hahaha……"

In the crowd, someone couldn't help but let out a suppressed sneer.

"puff--"

"That's hilarious! Weren't you just yelling that you were going to stomp on someone's face?"

"But when the chairman raised the stakes, he was so scared he peed his pants?"

"This is supposed to be a 'hunter'? I think it's more like 'prey'! And the most cowardly kind at that!"

That's just how people are.

They flock to wherever there's excitement, and those who are currently participating are now joining in, just like those who were just starting out.

"It's not that I'm afraid!"

Kirihara Shizuya was irritated by these comments;

"I... I just disdain such barbaric methods!"

"We are noble knights, not street thugs! To duel with everything at stake is an insult to the chivalrous spirit!"

He found himself a seemingly respectable excuse.

However, to everyone else, this excuse sounded so weak and feeble.

Lynn didn't even bother to look at him again.

He turned around and gave new instructions to Stella and Toudou Touka, who had remained silent behind him.

"gone."

"Double the training volume today."

Stella's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Lynn ignored the face behind her that had become the laughingstock of the entire school and calmly walked away as the crowd parted to make way for her.

……

Training ground.

"Let's begin."

Lynn's voice echoed in the empty training room.

"Until you can't stand up anymore."

Stella stood in the center of the field, she held back, she no longer held back!

For several days in a row,

Power banks are so useful; my Fire Dragon Slayer Magic proficiency has reached 90.

The training room was a complete mess.

The walls were blackened by the fire, and the floor was covered with cracks from the cooled lava.

Stella collapsed to the ground, her training clothes already reduced to ashes, her exposed skin covered in a mixture of sweat and toxins.

Her magic was completely drained.

【Ding! 】

[Fire Dragon Slayer Magic Proficiency Increased!]

Current proficiency level: 99%

Just one last step and I'll have complete control over this power!

Stella realized this so clearly for the first time.

Even without that strange ability to devour flames.

I am no match for this man either.

Just then, the door to the training room was pushed open.

Toudou Touka strode in, her expression somewhat complicated, holding a newly printed file in her hand.

She walked up to Lynn, bowed respectfully, and handed her the file.

"Owner."
