Ugly impressions of forceful figures. Kang Yoo-sik, who recognized that they belonged to Knight College, looked at the eyes.
âTotally crazy.â
They look a little dull, but itâs clear that Kaina used them. When Kang Yoo-sik smiled inwardly at the reaction as expected.
âI asked if youâre the one who cowardly knocked down Sir Trua!â
Angry shouts rang out, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the surrounding 10 people.
âNo.â
ââ¦â¦what?â
âYou said I knocked him cowardly. I won fair and square, so itâs someone else.â
Kang Yoo-sikâs blatant sarcasm distorted the faces of men and they shouted in a fierce voice.
âShut up! The little trick that provokes Sir Trua to make yield the first attackâ¦â¦!â
âStop talking nonsense!â
âThis honor-less trashâ¦â¦!â
Kang Yoo-sik calmly looked at the 10 people surrounding him with abusive language from all sides.
âThey are all low class.â
Kainaâs tricks made them more willing to fight, but their skills were all terrible.
If He fought properly, all 10 people could easily be knocked down, but Kainaâs aim was also seen that way.
âIs it not about killing or hurting, but about causing a disturbance?â
If there is a conflict with Knight College, contact will be banned, and it will naturally apply to Trua and he will be separated.
It was a good idea for an impromptu plan.
âKnight College fights with a mouth, right?â
It was an easy plan to reverse if you knew the purpose.
âYou bastard!â
The man who seemed to be going to run for a while ran out of reason and swung the sword off his waist with all his power.
He has some power, but his breathing is disorganized and his aim is poor. Kang Yoo-sik lifted his left hand to open a mana barrier.
Pakaang!
Like a sheet of paper, the Mana Barrier was broken.
Fuquaak!
ââ¦â¦oh?â
The man wielding a sword opened his eyes wide with an unexpected sensation, and sticky blood splashed on his face and sky.
The sword, which was naturally thought to be blocked, broke the barrier and cut the opponentâs left hand horribly. Ten people surrounded by the wound turned pale.
âYou understand the situationâ¦â¦slowlyâ¦â¦â
Kang Yoo-sik staggered back and looked at his disgusting left arm. A burning pain like setting a fire.
It was okay so far, but when heâs not recovered from Truaâs battle and blood fell out, he unconsciously twisted his feet.
The moment his body leaned back before he finished his posture.
Tuuk.
A familiar black robe accepted him, and Kang Yoo-sik smiled inwardly when he looked up at her.
âAs expected⦠She meant to come to me for a reason.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who thought he had to clean up by himself, let go of his consciousness he had been holding on to. Ban Hye-young was seen turning her eyes toward the men.
And just before the consciousness is completely gone.
ââ¦â¦ die.â
A terrible scream followed with a cold sinking voice.
* * *
Kuang!
Trua, who stormed out of the office of the dean of magic, ran out of the main building, and everyone looked at him with a surprised look.
Normally he would have adjusted his posture to be aware of that gaze, but today he kept running, ignoring them all.
And the moment the entrance got closer. He could see the woman standing far away.
âAhâ¦!â
Kaina, a beautiful woman who seems to be from a picture. The way she looked over here and waved with a slight smile on her face shook his heart.
âTruâ¦.â
Whoo!
He ran as hard as he could outside today, ignoring her.
âAâ¦â¦ Sirâ¦â¦â¦?â
He removed Kainaâs stunned voice from his head and ran as hard as he could, leaving the Round Academy.
Arriving ahead of the running cars, Trua headed up to his usual luxury hotel room.
âStop.â
And he was stopped by Ban Hye-young in a black robe.
âUghâ¦.â
The pressure makes his stomach flutter even though sheâs just standing. Truaâs face turned pale with a presence that made him feel a difference in character with just one word.
âIâmâ¦â¦ Iâm not feeling very well right now. If I look at the Knight College kidsâ¦â¦ I get angry.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âSoâ¦â¦ can you get out of here before I crush you?â
The neck of Trua was chilled by Ban Hye-youngâs warning in a gentle voice.
On the day Kang Yoo-sik was attacked by radicals at Knight College, the ten men who attacked were found with the bones of their bodies smashed into pieces.
They felt terrible pain without dying or losing consciousness, and their arms and legs were tied tightly to each other.
Trua knew he would also be like that if the woman makes up her mind.
âNo.â
He replied in a determined voice.
âIâ¦â¦ I must meet him.â
Heinz also asked not to meet until he left England, but he couldnât. Because he had to ask something about yesterday.
Therefore, Trua did not take a step back, and Ban Hye-young looked at him and sighed.
âHaa, Iâm so softâ¦â¦.â
Ban Hye-young, who grumbled discontentedly, turned away scattering her mana.
âGo in.â
At the end of the word, Ban Hye-young entered the next room, and Trua, who breathed a sigh of relief, entered Kang Yoo-sikâs room.
Unlike before, Trua, who passed through the clean interior and entered the bedroom, hardened his face by the sight of Kang Yoo-sik sitting against the bed.
âHmm?â
When Trua was standing in a daze. Kang Yoo-sik, who found him, smirked while holding the book.
âWhat? Are you here to fight again?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âItâs going to be a little difficult today.â
Truaâs hand trembled faintly at Kang Yoo-sikâs talking as if nothing had happened, and soon asked with his fist clenched tightly.
âIs it because of me?â
âHmm?â
âThe fight has consumed a lot of manaâ¦Is that why you didnât respond properly to the attack?â
âUmâ¦â¦.â
When asked by Trua, Kang Yoo-sik looked slightly embarrassed.
In that unspoken affirmation, Trua clenched his fist so strongly that Gauntlet squeaked.
âWhat the hell is the knightâ¦â¦what is honor!â
If the attack was a vital point, not a left hand, and if Ban Hye-young was a little late, would Kang Yoo-sik be safe?
Even those who called themselves knights but committed cowardice, and the Round Academy, which tried to pass it quietly, Trua felt unbearably disgusted and angry.
He knew the absurdity through Kaina, but this was the first time that he had caused damage to others.
âIâm soâ¦â¦ Iâm so sorryâ¦â¦.â
Trua, who bowed his head in shame, apologized in a trembling voice, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at him.
He was thinking about how to tell the problem, and he flicked his finger instead of talking.
Snap!
â!â
Suddenly, Trua stepped back embarrassed by the flames that rose in front of his eyes, and Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the sight.
âFast response.â
âIâ¦â¦ this isâ¦â¦.â
âIâm fine.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Truaâs bewildered look and said.
âYou treat me as if Iâve become crippled who canât even use magicâ¦only my left hand was smashed. Itâs fine. The first aid was fast, so it wonât be long before it gets better. Well, the competition could be a disadvantage, butâ¦â¦.â
As Kang Yoo-sik continued to bounce his fingers and create sparks, Trua looked perplexed.
âIâ¦â¦ I donât meanâ¦â¦.â
âAnd Iâm sure this time. You donât like Round Academy, College, and the surrounding environment, do you?â
ââ¦â¦.â
When he was caught off guard, Trua couldnât keep talking, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at him as if he knew it.
âYouâre so pathetic, too.â¦if you donât like it that much, you can just go somewhere else. Why do you have to stay?â
âItâsâ¦.â
When asked by Kang Yoo-sik, Trua couldnât answer immediately. To protect Kaina? It was not enough.
He vowed to protect her, but it was not deep enough to go beyond the hatred and anger he feels now.
âThen why would Iâ¦â¦.â
For the first time, Trua asked himself why, and the answer returned simpler than he thought.
âThereâs nowhere to goâ¦â¦.â
Heâs had enough of all the sights heâs seen here, but itâs not different from other countries, guilds, or schools.
Itâs a sight that people canât help but see, and thatâs why Trua has long hated but turned a blind eye to it.
âI was a coward.â
He didnât want to change it, he didnât want to leave, but he just despised others by wrapping everything up in boredom.
Truaâs face turned red because of his scandal, and Kang Yoo-sik asked calmly after thinking about it for a while.
âThen will you follow me? I know a good place.â
âGood placeâ¦â¦?â
Kang Yoo-sik nodded at Truaâs question.
âNot now, but Iâm going to make a guild soon. Iâm not going to do anything grand, but Iâm going to gather some people who I know.â
At the story of the guild, Trua hesitated for a moment and asked again with a serious look.
âCan the guild be a place of integrity?â
Is it a place where people can not feel the same disgust? Kang Yoo-sik shrugged at the question after contemplating for a while.
âI canât be hasty in saying cleanliness because it depends on the person. If I do something wrong, it can be a lie.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âBut I can promise you this one.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who looked at Trua, smiled.
âIâll make you proud of yourself.â
âProudâ¦â¦?â
âYes, what youâre going to do. The changes and consequences that will occur there. It makes you feel proud of all that.â
ââ¦â¦.â
All the guilds that have been offered to Trua have talked only about high salaries or practical benefits that they can enjoy by joining.
But it makes him proud of himself.
It was such an embarrassing condition that others would think it sham if they heard it.
âIf it doesnât, you can leave anytime. Iâll keep this. How do you like it?â
However, Trua felt the most heart-beating of all the numerous proposals he had ever received.
Makes you proud of yourself. That one word is combined with an unknown lift and makes his heartbeat.
âIf itâs really like that, Iâd love to go there if I could!â
âYouâre not going to ignore after graduation, are you?â
âI mean it! I swear to Godâ¦â¦.â
âNo, I donât need anything so heavy. I need simpler and more certainâ¦â¦ Oh, yeah. Thatâll do.â
Standing up from bed, Kang Yoo-sik stood in front of Trua and took the Ring of the lake out of his pocket.
âItâs the Ring on the lake, and itâs an expensive item I got this time. Itâs a must-have item for me later.â
âI seeâ¦.â
âSo Iâll give it to you.â
ââ¦â¦yes?â
âHurry up and take it.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who forcefully gave the ring to embarrassed Trua, looked satisfied and pointed directly at the pendant around his neck.
âInstead, you give me that precious looking pendant.â
âThis isâ¦â¦ a gift from someone elseâ¦â¦.â
âI know, so whatever happens, youâll come back to get it back. Isnât that a good token?â
âUmâ¦â¦.â
At Kang Yoo-sikâs words, Trua looked at the Ring on the lake in his hand and put his hand behind his neck as if he had made up his mind.
Click
Trua, who placed the loose pendant in Kang Yoo-sikâs hand, grabbed the Ring of the lake while looking at it.
âFor sureâ¦â¦ Iâll definitely pick it up.â
âDonât even think about running away. And about what happened yesterdayâ¦â¦ well, letâs do what we normally do.â
Smiling Kang Yoo-sik tapped Trua on the shoulder.
âYou owe me one.â
Kang Yoo-sikâs voice that shows no self-interest. With that integrity, Trua smiled and bowed his head deeply.
âThe debt. I will pay you back in honor of Donatien de Trua.â
[The debtor âDonatien de Truaâ increases.]
[The debtor âDonatien de Truaâ rises to Class A. The collection list is added.]
A smooth increase in debt.
Seeing the notification window, Kang Yoo-sik alternated between the parts of Trua with his head down and mana sword Perceval in his hand and smiled brightly.
âEasy.â
It was an appropriate transaction for joining the guild.
