I Became a Murderer in the Academy.

The 68th duel concluded quite some time after it began.

Iria spent a long while kicking Amelia around. Though she controlled her strength, each blow still had enough impact to lift Amelia off the ground.

The duel only ended once Amelia was rolling across the floor. She had tried to surrender multiple times, but it wasn’t possible.

Each time Amelia opened her mouth to speak, Iria would shove her foot into it, silencing her.

Iria was able to prolong the duel because she knew exactly when Amelia would try to give up.

Amelia endured longer against Iria than any other student had. In terms of sheer time, she lasted even longer than Sera.

It was a testament to her status as the top third-year student.

And then—@@novelbin@@

“I forfeit.”

The duel officially ended with Amelia as the victor.

Iria, having grown tired of kicking, surrendered before Amelia could.

Since Amelia remained in the arena after Iria had left, she was technically declared the winner.

The defeated Iria bore no injuries, while the victor was left a bruised and battered mess, unconscious on the arena floor.

The lengthy duel finally concluded. Iria, more mentally fatigued than physically, departed from the scene.

Ultimately, Amelia became the first to claim a “victory” over Iria.

Whether Amelia would even be aware of her so-called victory, having lost consciousness, remained uncertain.

Why had Iria surrendered a duel she could have won? There wasn’t any particular reason. Perhaps, if anything, it was pity.

Iria had essentially gifted Amelia the win as a small recompense.
