Chapter 61 - Provocation
Ye Feng slowly walked into the academy, to speak the truth, after having moved near this place for so long, this was the first time he was entering it. The academy had the Baroque architectural-style buildings, although the main color was white, everywhere he went, he saw complex designs of stacked, round, oval, petal-shaped, and other typical shapes all over the place.
Although the white base color made the beauty of the Baroque architectural style not perfectly displayed, this style still represented a special form of luxury, although it was known that the size of the Knight’s Academy was not small, the comprehensive Baroque style still cost them a huge amount to construct.
“They’re rich after all.” Ye Feng assessed the surrounding buildings as he sighed to himself, rather than calling this an academy, it was more like a piece of art.
Even though Ye Feng thought that, he did not forget that today, his main objective was to hold a class for the students.
Right when Ye Feng was trying to find his classroom, a voice interrupted him: “I was wondering who it was, why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re here to scam people?”
This voice was full of disdain and mockery, Ye Feng soon remembered who this person was, they were acquainted in fact, this was none other than Blake.
The truth was, Ye Feng recognized him the moment they met, the other party was also able to recognize him the moment they saw him, Ye Feng did not think they would meet here after their last encounter when he came to the Blacksmith Shop to provoke Ye Feng because of Avril.
But Ye Feng was angered by this person’s arrogant voice: “If a person like you can come here, why can’t I appear here? Even if I am here to scam people, it is still better than your narrow-mindedness.”
Actually, Ye Feng did not hold grudges about the previous incident, but this person was simply unbearably arrogant, Ye Feng could not help but rebuke him. As a result, he was angered by Ye Feng’s rebuttal as well.
He had never thought highly of Ye Feng, in his eyes, this was just a lucky kid who managed to infatuate Avril, he did not know what was good for him.
The conflict between the two soon caused a crowd to gather.
Many of them did not know who Ye Feng was, but they knew Blake.
“Who is he? He dares to go against Senior Blake.”
“Senior Blake usually takes it upon himself to teach bad people a lesson, thus, he must not be a good person.”
“What mistake did this person make, why is Senior Blake so angry?”
…
More and more people came to watch the show, they conversed among themselves and Ye Feng managed to get some information from their words.
This fanatic suitor of Avril was actually a popular person in the academy, his strength was also considerably high among the students, he was ranked top ten in the academy.
And Blake was also someone skilled at forging.
Ye Feng raised his brows, he did not expect this person to have such a background, but he was naturally not intimidated by this. After all, Ye Feng was invited here by the vice-principal personally.
As more and more people came to watch, Blake who had always been the center of attention could not take it anymore, he understood that words could not decide the outcome of this argument, the only thing that mattered was strength.
Even though Blake did not know what this guy’s strength was, he guessed that his strength was not impressive.
“So many people are watching now, I’m not going to waste time talking, this is the Knight’s Academy, we will have an open and fair duel.” Blake showed determination in his eyes, it was clear that he felt confident about winning this duel.
Ye Feng looked at Blake with a hint of helplessness, he was not here to have a duel after all, thus, he smiled coldly: “Crazy.”
Ye Feng’s reply was out of Blake’s expectations, as a genius of his family, Blake had never been treated so coldly before. Because he was the person closest to Ye Feng physically, he could see clearly the look of disdain on Ye Feng’s face.
Indeed, it was disdain.
Precisely because of this expression, Blake, who had thought that he might be acting rashly became more determined, wanted to defeat this person openly and fairly.
“Why are you not speaking? Are you afraid?”
“Do you think everyone is as free as you?” Ye Feng smiled coldly: “I came here because of your vice-principal’s request, I am not here to play such childish games.”
Ye Feng’s expression became more patient, when he spoke, not only was he not forceful, he even had a mocking tone. This situation basically showed that Ye Feng thought nothing of Blake at all.
How could Blake not notice this? He walked up to Ye Feng and stared at him with a deadly gaze: “I don’t care, you have to duel me today no matter what. Unless you are afraid because you know that you cannot beat me.”
Ye Feng was really feeling a little helpless now, but with Blake standing right before him, it was a declaration that unless he gave Blake a satisfactory answer, he would not let Ye Feng go.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Ye Feng’s continued rejections seemed like he had no confidence. Even though Ye Feng did not fear these so-called rumors, he would not allow others to trample on his reputation and pride.
Furthermore, Ye Feng could tell that this person was someone who would not give up even if he had to use unscrupulous methods. In that case, he might as well agree to Blake’s request.
Ye Feng took a step back to pull some distance, Blake wanted to grab his shirt but was easily dodged by Ye Feng who smiled and said: “I’ll duel with you if that’s what you want.”
Ye Feng thought to himself: ‘After agreeing to this, hopefully he will stop pestering me.’
