I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 29: There's No Way I'll Lose to Small Fry

Chapter 29: There’s No Way I’ll Lose to Small Fry

“What? What are you saying?”

Ignoring whatever my father was about to say, I activated the contract magic spell. Its contents were based on the words my father had just uttered:

• • • • The eldest son, Kaisar, and the younger son, Douglas, will duel.

• • • • Whoever wins this battle will inherit the Kvist family. 

• • • • If Kaisar wins, he will inherit the Kvist family immediately after the victory is confirmed.

These were the main points of the contract.

“Were you about to say something, Father?”

“You bastard, you can use magic? Moreover, you activated a high-level magic spell without chanting it!”

Finally realizing his position, my father’s face paled visibly.

It was only natural.

In this world, high-level magic spells, such as contract magic, are considered difficult to master, while in the game, contract magic is taught early on, mainly for taming magical beasts.

There is another form of magic known as enslavement magic, which ranks higher than contract magic. As a result, only a few people in this world can wield enslavement magic. As for ordinary slaves, they are bound with magic items inscribed with enslavement marks, such as collars.

He must have been concerned that Douglas might lose after he witnessed me activating contracted magic without chanting.

Even my father, who realized that magic capable of being activated without chanting is not limited to contract magic, must have understood my arrogant attitude.

And since the contract magic got activated, his face turned pale with the realization that he could not cancel the duel because breaking the contract would inevitably turn him into my slave without hesitation. 

Moreover, the fact that he said he would make a contract if I could use the magic just a moment ago further makes my father anxious because he cannot refuse the contract.

“What’s the matter, Father? There’s no need to be afraid of anything.”

“D-Douglas…”

“It’s all about winning. After all, how could Older Brother who can’t do anything use contract magic? It’s just an empty threat, nothing more. There’s no need to be deceived by the bluffs of such an idiot. And even if it wasn’t an empty threat, as long as I win, that’s all that matters. There’s no way I would lose to such a weakling who can’t even use magic properly. Even if he could use other magic, the difference in real combat experience is crucial.”
