In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Chapter 141: Beginning Of The Battle

*Fall*.

Theos quickly landed on the battlefield after performing a great acrobatic jump, which, unfortunately, no one saw.

'Finally, it's time for battle,' he thought.

He had prepared intensively for this fight.

Well, he trained "intensively" after doing "intensive exercises" with Alice beforehand.

After that, he went to Luna's room to take care of her and prepare food for her, as well as spend some time with her before leaving.

Remembering everything he had done yesterday, he was quite shameless. But if there was one thing he couldn't be criticized for, it was being a gentleman.

At least with his beloved wives.....

"3"

Seeing the countdown, Theos got a little excited, even though he was feeling quite expectant for this battle he was going to fight.

"2!" the crowd cheered, chanting the last number at the top of their voices.

"1!!!"

With the loudest and biggest collective shout Theos has ever seen in his life, the two gates opened, the two main gates which the Gladiators, Camilla and Theos, must enter and exit respectively.

The loud voice of a narrator excited the crowd even more. "Hello, very good morning; today, we welcome the First Great Duel of the new school year, Theos Von Fallen vs Camila!"

Swallowing saliva, the announcer continued. "And, right now, let us appreciate the elegant and dignified entrance of our Queen, Camila!" after shouting at the top of his lungs from the door in front of Theos, a loud noise was heard.

Out of the door, came a beautiful woman with white hair so soft and silky it tempted everyone to stroke it, a pair of Emerald colored eyes this time, or as always, showing the rawest indifference.

However, those who have been with Camila the most and know her relatively well might have noticed in her nonchalant expression some nervousness and excitement.

The excitement of facing Theos, a genius among geniuses, a total monster, and nervousness about losing.

'Losing is not in my dictionary of words,' she reminded herself, motivating herself.

She was wearing a long all-white dress with gold lines; the skirt covered all her legs, and even her shoes or heels couldn't be seen.

She held two swords, in her right hand an all-white sword, looking like the sword of an angel himself.

In her left hand, she held a marvelous sword of a golden color, white and with black lines like an ink that wanted to consume the majesty of the rest of the blade.

"It's the Invincible! It's the Queen!"

"The Untouchable! I bet everything on her... Don't let me down!"

"Her beauty is simply exceptional, unique in the world!"

The spectators, i.e. students, were shouting Camila's name for a long time, cheering her on, fully expressing their admiration and respect for her.

After all, she is the favorite to take the victory in this duel.

'Wow, she sure did a good job of sprinkling our match all over the Academy,' Theos thought with a smile.

The coliseum had been filled to an absurd degree.

Theos and Camila's popularity had reached its highest peak...

"How much dominion can someone have over their Mana to do that!!!?"

Questions and affirmations soon followed, amazed at the fact that Theos could make an invisibility barrier and, according to his expression, without the merest effort, almost without fatigue.

"How long have you been there?", Camilla's soft, curious voice reached Theos' ears.

He smiled slightly. "Since before you were here, a few minutes ago, when I took the opportunity to walk around the battlefield."

Camila frowned suspiciously. "That means... What did you study the entire battlefield, did you set traps?"

At this interrogation, Theos felt quite offended. Was he not noble enough to make a duel without cheating?

He, likewise, frowned, but this time in annoyance, with a practically icy stare. "Who do you think I am? If you want, you can see the entire battlefield for yourself, check every last ounce of sand?"

Hearing Theos' cold voice and expression, she immediately regretted saying those words. "Uh... I'm sorry if I offended you, it's just that I took the combats too seriously."

Camilla's apology proved to affect Theos, his gaze becoming less icy. 'Anyway, let's get this started,' he said simply, taking two steps back.

'I'm pretty respectful of the rules in an official duel, but in a battle to the death nothing matters as long as you win and survive,' he thought, Death Shard in his hand.

It looked quite similar to how it was before, with the difference being the parts where you could see roots of a golden and white color trying to eat the darkness of the blade.

The two stared at each other, each determined to win.

"Did you hear that? The barrier he had put up... He had been activating it for more than a minute, it might even be several seconds."

"It's unbelievable... Terrifying..."

"He's a monster."

The spectators couldn't help but slightly overhear the conversation of the two gladiators.

However, what they paid more attention to was Theos' first words, more specifically, when he claimed to have been there for several minutes, even giving him time to take a walk.

The exclamations and theories soon followed, making them unable to hear Theos and Camila's other conversation.

Unfortunately for them...

Suddenly, a figure approached the two gladiators, drawing the attention of not only the two of them but the entire crowd in general.

"What's going to happen?" all the freshmen wondered the same thing, except for Theos, who already knew what was going to happen.

The other students also said nothing, nor did they react, being familiar with that figure.

"Are you ready?", after being close enough, the figure spoke.

A rather stout and burly man over two meters tall, being practically bald, something that suited him quite well because of his marked and manly face.

'Mr. Testosterone,' thought Theos with an amused smile.

He remembered that was his name, the most important referee and the best overall in the whole Academy.

Camila nodded at the referee's words; subsequently, Theos nodded as well.

The two had completely confirmed that they were fully prepared.
