The cold atmosphere inside the mansion.
The gazes of the people around.
The guy frowned and rubbed the area where the glove had hit him, then opened his mouth.
“Did you really…?”
“Shut up. Will you accept the challenge or not?”
I cut off the guy’s words. He seed to be quite annoyed that I interrupted him, and his already narrowing eyebrows beca even narrower.
“Hmm. Fine, I accept. You know what a duel between nobles ans, right?”
“What, are we betting on sothing?”
“Yes. Let’s decide on the bet tomorrow, and let’s have the duel at the training ground used by the Royal Knights.”
I nodded.
After all, that place is not in the castle, so it’s fine for us to go there.
Moreover, it’s a place where he can’t show off his tricks.
“Then, is our conversation over? Now, get out of our sight.”
“……Yes. That’s the end of that.”
He spat out a line that suited him, then disappeared from our sight.
Like a third-rate villain from so novel.
As soon as he disappeared, people around us started to glance at .
With eyes full of interest.
“Wow. I didn’t expect you to throw the glove right away, Kaine.”
Skaya was impressed by my action.
Eileen nodded in agreent.
“ too. I didn’t expect Kaine to challenge a duel here.”
“Yes. I thought you would just ignore it since you usually avoid troubleso matters.”
[The Goddess of Fate agrees with what the three of them said.]
No. What are you agreeing with?
To be honest, it’s true that I usually avoid troubleso matters.
Because it’s better not to get involved unnecessarily.
However, the reason I threw the glove just now wasn’t just because I was annoyed with the guy.
I also wanted to teach that blond noble a lesson.
‘But I’m also warning the other guys here.’
In fact, all the n around here have been glancing at the three of them.
With lustful eyes.
Of course, no one has the courage to approach like the blond noble, but.
‘But I still need to show them.’
What happens when they provoke .
So, I explained to the female companions.
The three of them blushed and bowed their heads shyly.
They didn’t expect that I would challenge a duel for that reason.
Then.
[The Goddess of Fate asks if she’ll be protected if she’s there too.]
No. Shouldn’t you be the one protecting ?
Of course, two of them are stronger than , so it’s the other way around.
‘But there’s a wall between and the Constellation.’
In reality, there’s almost no chance that the two of them will be in danger, but it’s still possible.
On the other hand, in the case of the Constellation.
‘Will such a situation even occur?’
Even Ange, a mortal, had never been in danger.
So, what about the Constellation, who is far stronger than her?
I can confidently say that if such a situation occurs, the world will co to an end.
‘I can’t even protect her in that case.’
As I thought this, I nodded.
“Hey, but what do you think about that hooligan’s proposal?”
Jenny asked with a curious voice.
Hearing her question, I shrugged and quietly spoke to the guy so that only he could hear .
Jenny widened her eyes at my answer, then looked at with a disgusted face.
“Wow. You’re such a devil.”
“Why? Isn’t that a fitting punishnt for him?”
“That’s true, but anyway, I guarantee that even the demons in hell would bow down to your personality.”
No. Why?
What’s wrong with making the blond noble a eunuch?
.
.
.
About three hours had passed since then.
It usually takes a long ti for rumors to disappear, but they spread quickly.
So, even though only three hours had passed, the news of Kaine’s duel with Gerald had already reached Patrick’s ears.
“Okay, I understand. Go ahead.”
The mustached butler bowed and closed the door.
Kim Soo-yong, who was standing next to him, couldn’t help but raise one corner of his mouth.
‘That guy is still causing trouble here.’
Kim Soo-yong was feeling incredulous when.
“Hmm? Why are you laughing?”
“Oh, yes. Sorry. I didn’t expect Kaine to cause trouble here as well.”
“Hmm. I thought he had changed, but he’s still causing trouble?”
“Well, he has changed.”
At his words, Patrick furrowed his brows.
With a face that showed he didn’t understand.
“You say he’s changed, but he’s still causing trouble?”
“Well, he does cause trouble, but he doesn’t pick fights or anything.”
“Ah, I see. I understand.”
From what Kim Soo-yong said, it seed like Kaine was just minding his own business, but people were bothering him.
Was it because this topic suddenly ca up?
Patrick asked curiously, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
“In your opinion, who do you think will win?”
“Hmm. Well, I don’t know about his opponent, so I can’t guarantee who will win… But I think Kaine will win.”
“Hmm?”
I didn’t expect that.
I had heard the rumors of Kaine’s change, and I had seen his changed behavior for a short ti.
‘But that’s only in terms of personality.’
I’m not sure how much Kaine’s strength has changed.
After all, it hasn’t even been a year since the rumors of his change spread.
“Is there a reason for you to think that way?”
“Is there a reason? It’s because he’s strong.”
The person in front of , Kim Soo-yong, is an otherworldly person like the first king who ended the war with the monsters.
Moreover, he is a genius who surpassed Eileen and Skaya, the top students of all ti.
Such a person said that Kaine was strong.
Without a mont’s hesitation.
“Hmm. I never imagined that those words would co out of your mouth.”
“Well, I haven’t seen his strength recently, but I watched a video of him during this year’s entrance exam. He was quite strong. If it weren’t for Eileen, , Skaya, Rain, and Burke, he would have been the top student.”
Patrick widened his eyes.
Then, his eyes beca filled with interest, and he opened his mouth.
“If you say he’s that strong, he must be really strong.”
“Yes. And he’s the kind of guy who will do anything to win.”
“Hmm. That’s quite interesting. I’ll go watch it tomorrow.”
“I’ll go with you. After all, you have business with Kaine and the others, right?”
Patrick nodded, agreeing, and raised one corner of his mouth.
The next mont, he turned serious.
“Let’s get to the main topic. Is it true that you encountered the highest-ranked demon?”
“Yes. To be precise, it wasn’t an encounter, but a fight.”
“Tell about it. It would be good if you could also tell about the incident with Andrew.”
“Yes. I understand.”
So, Kim Soo-yong explained to Patrick in detail about the events involving him and the cult.
.

The next day.
I woke up and raised my upper body, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling from a soft bed.
[The Goddess of Fate says it’s ti to wake up.]
Then. The Constellation gave a forced morning call.
She must have been really eager to do this, as she sent a ssage as soon as I got up.
“Since Lise isn’t here, do you have to do it now?”
[The Goddess of Fate says that if you were in her position, you would understand her feelings.]
I don’t really want to understand.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes with my arm and looked around the room.
Then, I headed towards the shower room in the room.
‘Hmm.’
As expected of a mansion prepared by the royal family, it’s not bad.
Twenty minutes passed.
Finally, I finished showering and ca out.
I completely dried my hair using the lowest-level magic, Wind.
“Young Master. It’s ti to get up.”
As usual, Lise knocked on the door and ca to wake up.
No. If soone sees this, they might think it’s our house.
“I’m already up. I’ll be out in a mont.”
“Yes. Young Master.”
I quickly changed my clothes and left the room, and Lise was standing at the door, waiting.
I wondered why she didn’t co in, even though the door wasn’t locked. So, I asked her.
“Lise. Why are you standing here instead of coming in as usual?”
“Ah, the door was locked so I couldn’t open it without a key. I could have opened it if I tried, but then…”
I nodded in understanding of her answer.
“Yeah. I wondered why you were just knocking and not coming in as usual.”
“Do you have a lot of complaints?”
Lise narrowed her eyes and puffed out her cheeks.
Then, she continued.
“Young Master. The reason I usually co in is not for the kiss… but to make sure you don’t arrive late for school.”
It would be much better if she hid her true intentions before saying such words.
If she had just hidden her true feelings, I would have understood to so extent.
That’s how convincing her words were.
As I narrowed my eyes, Lise looked at the distant mountains and coughed.
“Cough, cough. Anyway, that’s one thing. Did you adjust your condition well?”
“It’s obvious that you’re trying to change the topic, but… I’m fine. After all, I didn’t do anything yesterday, right?”
“That’s true.”
Lise nodded in agreent.
In fact, all I did yesterday was look around and chat with my friends.
Besides that, there was nothing special.
After all, social gatherings are usually held to have conversations.
Of course, people of lower status might feel ntally tired because they have to be mindful of their surroundings.
But the people in our group, including , are not of such low status.
‘At least, if there’s any stress.’
It’s the won bickering with each other.
‘It happens all the ti, so whatever.’
At first, it was tiring, but now I just let it be.
In fact, such things are no different from daily life.
At that mont.
“Young Master. I think this is the place.”
Soon, we arrived at our destination.
The news had spread so much that the spectator seats were filled with people who had co to watch.
From the nobles who attended the social gathering to the Royal Knights who followed the royal family, Patrick, Kim Soo-yong, and finally, our group.
‘There are so many people.’
Usually, rumors spread quickly, but it’s rare to see so many people coming to watch in just one day.
‘It’s definitely because that blond noble is up to sothing.’
If not, it wouldn’t make sense for the spectator seats to be full in just one day.
‘It’s obvious that they want to take sides in front of all these people.’
Usually, I would feel like I’ve been hit, but.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
After all, with so many witnesses, there’s no way the guy would break his bet.
Rather, the current situation is more advantageous for .
“Lise. Then, you go to the spectator seats.”
“Yes. I understand, Young Master. You won’t lose, right?”
“Yeah.”
With those words, Lise headed towards the spectator seats.
I turned my head.
I looked at Gerald, who was grinning like a third-rate villain.
“So, what’s your proposal?”
“Yes. If I win, how about you hand over your personal maid, Lise, to ?”
I knew that he liked won, but I never expected him to say it so openly.
Most of the people here are nobles, right?
His words were as good as saying, “I’m a hooligan.”
‘Well, aside from that, the rumors of him being a hooligan have already spread.’
I turned my head towards Lise for a mont.
She had joined the group and was sitting next to Skaya.
Then, she looked at with unwavering trust in her eyes.
As if it was obvious that I wouldn’t lose.
“Yes. But if you lose, how about we cut off what’s between your legs?”
“Let’s do that.”
Gerald nodded and raised one corner of his mouth.
His reaction showed that he couldn’t even imagine losing.
Mikasa, the captain of the Royal Knights who was acting as the referee, heard our conversation and spoke.
“Then, I’ll take it that both sides have agreed. Let’s start the duel now.”
Thus, the blond noble’s ‘first’ lesson began.
At the sa ti, a quest ssage appeared.
