Chapter 38

After the entrance ceremony.

I walk with Ada and Francis flanking me on either side.

Francis is making a fuss, saying something about it being unprecedentedโ€ฆ

โ€œThatโ€™s why! If you do something like thatโ€ฆ!โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with me acting high and mighty if I can erase this city in the blink of an eye?โ€

โ€œN-No! Please, Iโ€™m begging you, stop it!โ€

โ€œWhat should I do?โ€

โ€œPlease! Iโ€™ll do anything!โ€

โ€œHm?โ€

Did you just say anythingโ€ฆ?

As Iโ€™m teasing Francis for funโ€ฆ

Suddenly, weโ€™re surrounded by about ten students. Probably upperclassmen.

โ€œWho are you?โ€

I ask, while squeezing Adaโ€™s chest. Itโ€™s wonderfully soft. This is my first time squeezing a twelve-year-oldโ€™s chest; itโ€™s refreshingly new.

โ€œYouโ€ฆ!โ€

The one who stepped forward is a handsome guy with silky blonde hair. Well, not as good as me.

If Iโ€™m a Hollywood superstar, heโ€™s like a second-rate model in Japan. Like one of those โ€œJa-somethingโ€ types.

โ€ฆWait, why is he popular if heโ€™s not that handsome? Not that heโ€™s ugly, but still.

I guess even if a guy is somewhat ugly, he can make up for it in other ways.

But if a woman isnโ€™t beautiful, sheโ€™s often dismissed regardless of other abilitiesโ€ฆ

Which is harder, I wonder?

So, what was it again?

This guyโ€ฆ who is he?

I ask who he is, and he responds with โ€œyouโ€. What kind of upbringing did he have?

โ€œOh, so your name is โ€˜Youโ€™? What a terrible name, Iโ€™d like to see your parentsโ€™ faces.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆI am Sei Cladion, heir to the Cladion Count family.โ€

โ€œCladionโ€ฆ? Oh, thatโ€™s right. The one with nothing but a run-down mine.โ€

Ah, I remember now.

The teacher mentioned it.

A Count family with a reputation for bad finances.

โ€œA run-downโ€ฆ?! You dare insult my family?!โ€

โ€œInsult or not, your family really has nothing. Why didnโ€™t you industrialize before exhausting the mine? Stupid?โ€

โ€œY-Youโ€ฆ! Unforgivable! I challenge you to a duel! This is not just to make you retract your insult but also to remove you for disrupting the schoolโ€™s order! If I win, you will leave the academy!โ€

Sigh.

Blood sugarโ€ฆ oh, a duel.

Ah, right, that kind of thing.

โ€œCan I kill the people around us?โ€

Since weโ€™re surrounded.

โ€œโ€ฆThey are witnesses.โ€

I see.

Witnesses or not, the fact that they surround and intimidate a younger student shows their true nature.

โ€œCan I kill you?โ€

โ€œTry if you can!!!โ€

Interesting.

As I was about to snap my fingersโ€ฆ

โ€œWait a moooooooment!!!!!!โ€

Francis grabbed my arm with amazing force.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong, Fran? Want some attention? Oh, good girl, good girl.โ€

โ€œWait, seriously, wait! This isnโ€™t a joke, please wait???โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€œPromise you wonโ€™t do anything, okay? Please, for Franโ€™s sake.โ€

Calling herself โ€œFranโ€ is hilarious.

Itโ€™s amusing, so Iโ€™ll wait.

โ€œSure.โ€

โ€œAda! Make sure he doesnโ€™t do anything! Please!โ€

โ€œYes!โ€

Ada responds enthusiastically, but she wonโ€™t listen to you, you know?

And then, Francisโ€ฆ

โ€œAhemโ€ฆโ€

Clears her throat and faces the guy from the trash province.

โ€œPardon me, Lord Cladion.โ€

โ€œYou areโ€ฆ from the Klein family?โ€

โ€œYes, my name is Francis.โ€

โ€œMy apologies. I am Sei Cladion.โ€

โ€œLord Cladionโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll get straight to the point. Please, stop this.โ€

โ€œButโ€ฆ!โ€

โ€œLord Cladion. Exas here shows no mercy. Win or lose, it will only harm you. Think of the insult from a fallen knight as being bitten by a dogโ€ฆโ€

โ€œNo, I canโ€™t do that! I am the student council president of this academy! To maintain order, I cannot forgive him!โ€

โ€œIf so, at least teach him the proper way to duelโ€ฆโ€

โ€œFrom your tone, Lady Klein, it sounds as if I will lose.โ€

โ€œTh-Thatโ€™sโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDo you think I would lose to someone who cheated on the entrance exam?โ€

Ah-ha?

So thatโ€™s how it is.

Interesting.

Well, humans are like that. They always claim โ€œThere must be some mistake!โ€ when they donโ€™t understand something.

Few people are willing to investigate why such a mistake happened.

You should learn that in college, though! Strange, isnโ€™t it?

โ€œUm, wellโ€ฆ Yes! Even if he loses, if he doesnโ€™t know how to surrender, he might die! Thatโ€™s not good, right?โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ I understand. Letโ€™s wait a bit.โ€

โ€œThank you.โ€

And then, Francisโ€ฆ

โ€œOkay?! You absolutely must not kill him, got it?!โ€

โ€œHow much can I hurt him?โ€

โ€œNot how much, just donโ€™t injure him!โ€

โ€œThen itโ€™s not a duel, is it?โ€

โ€œAnyway, just try not to hurt him!โ€

โ€œAlright, I get it.โ€

Now thenโ€ฆ

โ€œUh, Trash Province guy?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s Cladion!!!โ€

โ€œSo, if I lose, I leave the school, right?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆThatโ€™s right.โ€

โ€œWhat will you do if you lose?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll do anything.โ€

Hmm?

โ€œThen Iโ€™ll give you plastic surgery.โ€

โ€œPl-plastic surgery?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll shave off your nose and replace it with a goblinโ€™s nose.โ€

โ€œHow farโ€ฆ! How far do you intend to insult me?!โ€

โ€œOf course, to the very end.โ€

While Francis, with an expression of utter despair, looks on, the noble duel begins!

โ€œGyaaahhhhhhh!!!!โ€

Itโ€™s over.

Even though he was acting all high and mighty, Trash Province guy got beaten in an instant.

Sad, isnโ€™t it?

He shot some strange flames at me, but I have โ€˜Dispelโ€™ that neutralizes magic and โ€˜Barrierโ€™ that absorbs excessive energy on my body at all timesโ€ฆ

In theory, I wouldnโ€™t die even if a nuclear missile hit me.

So nowโ€ฆ

As promised, I shaved off his nose.

And now Iโ€™ll transplant the goblinโ€™s nose.

โ€œAlright, itโ€™s done. It suits you.โ€

โ€œA-Aahhhhhh!!!!โ€

Oh, heโ€™s going berserk.

Interesting.

He ran away, covering his nose.

โ€œWhat was that about?โ€

Ada asks.

โ€œThere are idle people everywhere. Iโ€™m envious.โ€

I reply.

Carrying the still-frozen-with-despair Francis, I returned to the Klein family mansionโ€ฆ
