Necromancer Of The Shadows

The day of the match finally arrived and most of the students were talking about this match since many people were surprised that Evan who got the title of the weakest hunter of the academy is going to fight against Mike.

"Have you made any bet yet? There are a lot of people who are betting in this match.

"Yes, I have betted on Mike"

"Me too"

"How much are you betting?"

"2500 credits. What about you?"

"One thousand on Evan and five thousand on Mike"

"You betted on both of them?"

"Well the chances of Evan's winning are not very high, but what if the rumors about him are true and he won the match? That's why I betted one thousand credits on him"

"Rumors are just rumors you are wasting your money by betting it on that trash"

The academy has its own betting system where students can bet on the matches.

When Evan arrived at the betting station and saw the odds of the match his mouth can't help but twitch.

The odds for betting on Evan were 1:5, while for Mike it was just 1: 1.3

This means if someone bets one thousand credits on Evan, and Evan won the match that person will win five times of the betting amount which is five thousand credits.

On the other hand, the odds for Mike were very low because most of the people were thinking Mike will win the match easily.

'They are underestimating me too much' Evan thought and his lips curled upwards, 'but it is not like I am complaining'

The more they underestimate him, the more money he is going to earn so he wasn't upset about what people were thinking.

Evan went to the counter and betted the entire balance of his bank account.

After receiving one hundred thousand credits from Valery, Evan had one hundred two thousand and forty-eight credits.

Evan betted all of his credits.

Even the receptionist who was accepting the bets looked at Evan with a dazed look.

Obviously, he recognized Evan, and seeing how much Evan was betting on himself, he wondered if he should also place a bet on Evan.

After placing the bet Evan walked away from the betting counter and made his way toward the sparring arena where the students of the academy spar with each other.

"Hey, Evan I betted five credits on you don't let me down"

"You rich tycoon you betted five credits, I am very poor I was just able to bet one credit on Evan"

While Evan was going towards the arena some students said to him while laughing.

Evan just gave them a sidelong glance and did not bother himself with them.

"Good luck for your match"

"Beat that orc"

There were still some students who betted on Evan and cheered for him.

Soon Evan arrived at the sparring arena which was actually a large stadium that looks like a football stadium.

The only difference was that instead of grass the field of the stadium was made from the concrete.

'No matter how many times I see this arena it is definitely unnecessarily big' Evan thought when he saw the size of the arena which was around five football stadiums combined.

When Evan entered the arena he was stunned for a moment and looked at the audience stand with a dazed look.

Although he knew many students will come to see his match because of his popularity (in a negative way) he never expected to see this many people.

Even though the stadium was far from full, Evan can see there were definitely more than one thousand students.

'Well, it's not like it is going to change anything even if there are one hundred thousand students watching' Evan soon came out from his shock and proceed forward and entered the arena field.

When students saw Evan entering in arena field some started to cheer for him while many started to mock him just like usual.

"Don't lose, I betted five thousand credits on you, if you loose I will also challenge you and will beat you down"

"I hope your face will be ruined"

"I love you Evan let's go on a date"

"You gigolo I hope you lose your third leg during the fight"

Some spiteful males sent vicious curses as a present for Evan that he completely ignored.

'I think someone asked me for a date' people usually only hear things that they want to hear, Evan was the same so the only thing that he heard during the gift-sending session was the cheers of females.

'Wait, I think I forget something' suddenly Evan felt he forget something important but can't seem to remember what it was.

Evan arrived at the center of the arena field and stopped. Just as Evan stopped he finally remembered what he forgot.

'I just asked Mike to fight me on Friday I never told him specify time, what if that guy came after dinner while I stood here like an idiot' Evan wasn't feeling good now and was thinking about going back.

But just as Evan thought about going back he heard the cheers of the crowd once again and looked in front of him.

From the other end of the arena, a bulky male was coming towards him with a cold expression on his face.

'Well look like I don't need to go back' Evan smiled when he saw Mike coming towards him. But when Evan saw what Mike was wearing he raised an eyebrow and his expression turned weird.

The people who came to watch the match also looked at Mike with shocked filled expressions.

"Holy sh*t what the hell is that thing" an E+ rank hunter shouted when he saw what Mike was wearing.

"Why is he wearing that thing, do he really need to go that far? It's not like he is fighting a big boss he doesn't need to bully that gigolo like this" a D+ rank hunter said but the next second he burst into laughter.

"It's good I betted my money on Mike instead of that gigolo with that thing there is no way he will be able to defeat Mike"
