Chapter 32
The simulated duel was a new device introduced by Quinn for the year.
According to the settings, the simulated duels could be used to fight monsters or people of different levels and abilities.
It was used to test one’s ability to fight.
The fights were no different from the usual duels, but one would not actually be in mortal danger or get injured from it.
The simulated duel prioritized the students’ safety to the maximum extent.
At the same time, it would also ensure that battle maniacs like Chris would not go around looking for people to fight.
Chris wiped her waist with her left hand and took out a blue folder.
“When I read your names, please enter the simulator. Your respective levels have already been set.”
“The equipment will match you with your opponents, according to your names.”
She opened the folder. “Nyssa.”
Nyssa took a step forward. Aside from encouraging Hixton and Oscanthus, she also smiled at Vincent.
She opened the door of the simulator and walked in.
The moment she closed the door, a ray of light shot out from the top of the simulator and slowly spread out into the air.
Nyssa was standing inside, on a vast prairie.
Less than five meters away from her was a high-level monster known as the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.
The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger was a high-level monster. It was as fast as wind and lightning. It could also spit out explosive thunder balls.
It was very difficult to deal with.
“This is the viewing screen of the simulation console. We can see Nyssa’s entire battle through the screen.”
Chris introduced the console to the puzzled crowd.
On the screen, they could see that Nyssa was fully focused on the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger in front of her.
The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger’s eyes were filled with ferocity. It bent its body; it looked like it was about to pounce.
The wind blew the grass low. The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger roared and suddenly pounced on Nyssa.
Nyssa dodged it and threw her right hand at the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.
A cloud of black gas hit the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.
The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger landed on where Nyssa was standing before. Its front claws clawing wildly.
At the same time, Nyssa stood beside the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger and pulled out the psionic gun on her waist.
Bang!
The psionic bullet hit the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger’s head.
The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger fell to the ground. It then stood up and shook its head in confusion.
A bloody hole appeared on the side of its ear.
“Eh? What’s going on?”
Angelina looked at Vincent with a puzzled expression.
Avril glared at Angelina.
“The Shadow Canopy can seal the target’s five senses, but once attacked, it will come into contact.”

Angelina grinned at Avril and stuck out her tongue.
William, who was standing at the side, saw this, and his eyes were filled with gloom. He asked his underlings behind him in a cold voice, “Have you prepared what I asked?”
One of the underlings had a fawning look on his face. “Prince William, I’m ready. Hehe, I’ll teach him a lesson later.”
The battle between Nyssa and the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger continued.
Nyssa’s battle method was very advantageous.
She restricted the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger’s movements through the Shadow Canopy while shooting with her psionic gun.
Ten minutes later, Nasha successfully killed the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger. Although she consumed a lot of physical strength and superpower, she did not receive any damage.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger did not touch Nyssa at all.
“Nyssa Theseus wins!”
The simulator rang with an electronic sound.
Kacha!
The simulator turned on once again, and Nyssa walked out.
She looked exactly the same as before. She did not look like she had used up too much stamina or power.
Everyone including Nyssa had puzzled expressions. Chris then gave an explanation.
“The simulated duel device doesn’t really allow you to fight. Instead, it collects your spirit to form a spiritual body.”
“You would feel like a long time has passed, but in reality, you only used one-tenth of the usual time.”
Everyone checked their phones for the time. They then realized that only ten minutes had passed since Nyssa entered and exited the simulator.
Nyssa, on the other hand, felt like the battle had lasted more than a hundred minutes.
“Hixton.”
Bald Hixton took a step forward, bowed to Vincent, and turned to walk towards the simulator.
Vincent did not expect Hixton to bow and was immediately stunned.
Oscanthus and Nyssa walked over.
“When we went back yesterday, Hixton practiced Flash overnight. Although he was still unable to use it, his control over his power was much stronger.”
“He was expressing his gratitude to you.”
After listening to their explanation, Vincent actually felt a little embarrassed.
Others were curious about the reason Hixton had bowed to Vincent. Chris on the other hand was extremely shocked.
He knew Hixton well and had fought against Hixton before.
He was very clear about Hixton’s arrogance. Even when he was beaten to the ground by Chris, he did not say a single word, beg for mercy or admit defeat.
Yet today, he suddenly bowed to Vincent. It was clear that he truly respected Vincent from the bottom of his heart.
A third-year senior respecting a freshman who had yet to officially enter the school.
How could Chris not be shocked?
“Vincent, it looks like I’ve underestimated you!”
Chris walked in front of Vincent and said excitedly.
Vincent just shrugged.
On the projection screen, Hixton appeared to be standing in the woods. His opponent was an agility-type Esper.
According to the display, that Esper’s ability was an S-Class Shadow Kill.
Shadow Kill, an S-Class agility-type Esper superpower. It could be perfectly hidden in places with shadows.
Plus, the battle was taking place in the woods, so it was not good for Hixton at all.
Although Hixton looked like a fierce, and boorish man, in actual fact, he was actually a very meticulous person.
As the circumstances were incredibly disadvantageous to him, Hixton released his superpower and ignited the surrounding trees.
In the forest, a small flame was likely to cause a big fire.
Plus, Hixton used his World-Burning Flames superpower.
“Hixton Narrick wins!”
Just as he lit up a large area of trees, the voice of the simulated dueling device rang out once again.
No one had any objections to this decision.
After lighting up the entire forest, it was obvious that victory was only a matter of time. Even assault-type superpowered people would not be able to survive, let alone agility-type superpowered people.
Therefore, it was naturally understandable for a decision to be made earlier.
And just like that, it was Vincent’s turn.
Something worth mentioning was that William had been ranked ahead of Vincent.
His opponent was an S-Class fire Elementalist.
Although he had good combat experience, his psionic power was exhausted in the end, and he died under the Monster Affinity that William controlled.
From the beginning to the end, William stood in place and did not move. He even used a white bear as a backrest and looked very comfortable.
His fighting strength made everyone fearful of him.
When facing someone with a Monster Affinity superpower, no matter how strong someone was, there was nothing they could do.
“Vincent, go for it!”
Just as Vincent stepped into the simulator, Angelina’s voice sounded.
Vincent turned his head and smiled at Angelina but did not say anything.
After seeing the two of them, William was so angry that his chest was heaving up and down. He called for his underling.
“Change his opponent to the king level!”
The underling jumped in fright and explained quickly, “Prince William, this won’t do! If his opponent is the king level, it will be too obvious.”
“How about the advanced level? We can pretend that the equipment malfunctioned.”
Prince William was very unwilling, but he knew that it was the better option, so he nodded.
