"Hey, Victor, are you in the first match?"
In the second-year Knight Academy section, Robert nudged Victor in the side and asked.
Victor hurriedly shifted away. "You can see that already, so why ask?"
Robert chuckled. "Those Duel Club people are really annoying. They actually put you and Dark in the first duel. So, how do you feel?"
Victor took a deep breath. "How else could I feel? I know it might still be too soon, but this really is the opportunity I've dreamed of. Even if I might not be able to seize it, I still have to try... Wait, don't tell me you're hoping Dark will avenge you?"
Robert's eyes flickered slightly. "How could that be? I'm definitely on your side."
Victor immediately sneered. "Like I'd believe you, you redneck! Even if I can't win, I won't lose too badly!"
Robert muttered, "Hard to say..."
Victor jolted and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Robert hurriedly said, "Of course I believe you won't get slaughtered. After all, you're the man who just beat me! Right?"
Victor was suddenly at a loss for words. Then he sat down listlessly, staring in Dark's direction as he took a deep breath.
Whenever he saw Dark's back, he always subconsciously wanted to take out "Forbidden Love" and check it.
But before he knew it, he had gone a long time without using that Magitech Card that peered into other people's feelings.
Victor suddenly asked Robert, "Do you think that since I helped him just now, his favorability toward me might have increased?"
Robert slowly turned toward him, then opened his mouth in surprise, seemingly astonished that Victor had suddenly thought of such a thing for no apparent reason.
"Don't look at me like that." Victor turned his face aside and looked toward Dark again.
