30,000 a year. That's a very important distinction.
[IT'S A LOT OF MONEY OKAY.]
[sigh he can't believe he's doing this. this is so dumb. he does kind of want to go easy on her because look at her! She's just a kid! but this is also a matter of principle, he can't let himself lose and have his other students thinking he's a pushover. he needs them not incentivized to challenge him.]
[so he's going to fight her, and he's going to go hard, because sorry Mikoto--you get to be the "you should take me seriously" example for this year.]
[at least it's probably warm in contract duelspace...]
[When he brings them into the duel, his normal casual clothes switch out for armour--leather, not metal, he's a cleric come on--modeled after some obscure occult mythos. Which, if you knew it, would mark him pretty clearly as a demi-god known as the Vahishta. Deity of clerics. Normally he'd have a sword, too, but he knows enough about Mikoto's powerset to have left that out of this particular duel.]
[He doesn't waste any time getting started. No banter, no nothing, just straight into the fight. First up, magic shield - reduces the effect of any elemental attacks; her lightning won't hit him as hard. Second, right on its heels, a holy bolt. He's aiming to finish this as quickly as possible, so it's a strong one.]
