Challenging a sixth-year as a second-year was something any normal person would find utterly unreasonable.
Especially when that sixth-year was Noah Sharp, the "Night Baron"!
However, the Noble House upperclassmen had long anticipated this. Their overall strategy had originally been formulated around it; they simply had not asked Dark's opinion.
The current score situation was somewhat better than expected. Dark had more room to choose, so naturally, he could choose whatever he wanted.
They had no right to interfere, but they also hoped Noble House's victory would not be something "barely cobbled together," but one claimed calmly with a sharper edge.
They trusted Dark completely. They had even more confidence in him than Dark had in himself...
Feeling his upperclassmen's trust and support, the last trace of hesitation in Dark's heart vanished completely.
No matter how he calculated it, his chances of defeating Noah Sharp were not low. It was not a hundred percent, but a duelist could not fight only battles with a hundred-percent win rate.
"Then let me be the one to lose face in this match." Edwin Clarissa straightened his collar and rose to his feet. He had yet to win a single match in today's duel competition and was one of the few remaining holders of a "zero win rate."
And in this duel, there was a high chance he would evolve into a "Super Zero-Win-Rate Beast" with four losses in four battles.
But he was fearless.
From feeling grief and indignation over a single defeat at the beginning to being able to smile as he faced defeat now, Edwin Clarissa had traveled a rather difficult path.
But he knew that this sacrifice of his would finally have value.

Edwin Clarissa, defeated!
