The Witch Hunter System

In another academy location, a group of first-year to fifth-year servants gathered in a garden near the foot of the fourth tower.

Only two dozen servants were present, but their hierarchy was clearly distinguished by their years at the academy.

The first-years lined up in the backmost row while the fifth-years stood at the front, right before a single person sitting on the garden bench.

His name was Osran Barclay, third-ranked among the top five strongest servants in the academy and the leader of the gathered servants.

He had medium blonde comb-over hair, blue eyes, a thick but short prickly beard, a square face, and a toned but not excessively burly body, outlined by his slim-fit black training attire.

Compared to Bram Krauss, Osran Barclay ’s body was slightly bigger. Even so, they were roughly equal in terms of strength.

Both were at the peak of Rank 1 Aura Warrior.

”So one of Bram ’s men got his ass beaten, and now Bram himself is being challenged to a formal duel by this newcomer who appears to be the new library assistant, huh? How daring. ”

Osran Barclay rubbed his chin thoughtfully after listening to the information relayed by his men. Shortly after, he called out, ”Barrett, come forward. ”

”Yes, Boss? ” Barett Dred stepped forward from behind the second, third, fourth, and fifth-year servants.

”You did well holding back. Considering your strength is similar, you would have brought humiliation upon yourself and the gang if you had gone to look for trouble like that loser Rehan, ” Osran Barclay cooly said.

”This newcomer isn ’t a pushover. That being said, he has a lot of guts to challenge Bram Krauss to a duel. Whether it is blind confidence or true courage, we ’ll find out at the end of today. ”

”Are we going to watch the duel, Boss? ” Barrett Dred asked, not minding that the boss compared him to a loser. He indeed didn ’t have the strength to refute it.

”How often do you think a fifth-year servant gets challenged to a duel? And a Peak Rank 1 Aura Warrior, no less. Of course, we are going to watch. There ’s value in watching a duel of this level, ” Osran Barclay affirmed.
