Chapter 44:

“… Sigh.”

Hailey Baroun set free a deep sigh.

Of all of the folks he didn’t wish to run into, it needed to be him.

Bleuhan Eloy was a fourth-year scholar at Privia Academy. He was accompanied by 4 college students who appeared to be his entourage—two ladies and two boys.

They appeared to be amused by Bleuhan’s phrases, and noticed Lua and her group’s reactions.

“… Who do you suppose you might be to be so impolite?”

Olivia Nuez glared at Bleuhan. Bleuhan Eloy smirked and shrugged calmly.

“In the event you’re following across the Northern King, you need to introduce yourselves first, proper? Huh? Isn’t that the way it goes, little first-year youngsters?”

Bleuhan was fairly good-looking, however his look didn’t catch Olivia and Anise’s consideration. It was the disdain and disrespect in his eyes that made them really feel uncomfortable.

“What did you say? Little youngsters…?”

Olivia gritted her tooth. Then one in all Bleuhan’s entourage boys acted boastful.

“Oh, she’s getting indignant. Are you aware who he’s?”

“Properly, in the event that they’re from a distant territory, they won’t know. Don’t blame them for that. It’s not these youngsters’ fault for not realizing somebody from a giant household.”

Bleuhan replied with a mocking snigger.

Watching this, Hailey narrowed his eyes and stepped ahead.

“Cease bothering my associates. If in case you have one thing to say, say it to me.”

“What? Buddies? The king raised associates like that? However anyway, right here within the academy, you need to handle your seniors correctly, proper? There’s no father right here. Are you able to be so conceited even with out your father round?”

Bleuhan Eloy raised his palms in exasperation.

“Isn’t your father additionally absent? You’ve by no means crushed me in a duel, so why do you act so conceited? Do you belief these lackeys you’re hanging round with?”

Hailey didn’t again down regardless that he was dealing with somebody a number of years older.

Realizing Bleuhan’s standing by now, Olivia trembled, and Anise stood behind her with an uneasy expression.

“What? Lackeys? Hey, younger grasp. You shouldn’t disrespect your seniors like that.”

One of many ladies following Bleuhan glared at Hailey and tried to intervene, however Hailey didn’t even bat an eye fixed.

“I don’t know what you’re making an attempt to realize. If in case you have any complaints, problem me to a duel. Or ask this Bleuhan Eloy for revenge. I don’t know if he has the center for that, although.”

After saying that, Hailey eliminated one in all his gloves and forcefully threw it at Bleuhan’s face. Bleuhan didn’t dodge the glove, and the white leather-based glove struck his cheek, leaving a mark.

“… This brat.”

Bleuhan Eloy furrowed his eyebrows.

“In fact, I can’t forgive anybody who insults my associates’ honor, so I formally problem you to a duel. Do you will have the braveness for a good battle, Bleuhan?”

Nobody amongst his entourage mentioned something in response to his surprising actions. All of them stared at him as if asking what he was going to do.

“Come on, you punk. I’ll allow you to do as you please.”

Hailey chuckled at Bleuhan’s proposal and forged a wry smile at Olivia, Anise, and Lua earlier than talking up.

“You guys ought to head again. That is my battle to deal with.”

“Are you planning to battle them?” Lua requested with an anxious look on her face, having grasped the scenario somewhat earlier.

“Almost definitely, however I can deal with them simply.” Hailey nodded confidently.

The scenario was clear-cut – regardless that Hailey possessed exceptional sword abilities, taking up 5 4th-year college students alone was an excessive amount of, and Olivia and Anise couldn’t simply stroll away.

“Let’s go.”

Hailey took the lead, and walked towards a much less populated space.

With a touch of annoyance on her face, she set free a sigh and conveyed the scenario.

“Among the academy college students are gathering within the alley, and it seems like a battle would possibly escape. I assumed you would possibly wish to test it out.”

“Oh, expensive… I apologize for this inconvenience. I’ll handle it and return shortly. If my companions arrive, may you please allow them to know the rationale for my absence?”

“In fact, thanks.”

Reluctantly, Philip received up from his seat and left the cafeteria.

As he reached the alley, he discovered a battle already in progress.

Regardless of being college students, they wielded their swords with dedication. 5 of them appeared to be confronting a single particular person.

The lone fighter was one in all Philip’s college students. He already bore a number of bruises on his neck, and blood trickled from his brow.

It was considerably disheartening to witness his unwavering spirit in opposition to the percentages.

“What on earth is happening? Put an finish to this instantly!”

When Philip shouted loudly, the scholars realized he was a college member and ceased their actions, nervously him.

“… Um, who’re you?”

Bleuhan Eloy took a deep breath, making an attempt to regular himself as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He couldn’t acknowledge the face of the particular person in entrance of him—Philip. The fourth and first-year instructors not often interacted, and being from completely different backgrounds (Bleuhan from the western areas and Philip from central the Aristocracy), they hardly crossed paths.

“Hailey Baroun, what on earth had been you doing combating within the streets sporting the academy uniform? Care to clarify?” requested Philip sternly.

Bleuhan didn’t supply any excuses. As an alternative, he turned to Philip and addressed him confidently, “Properly, I assumed I’d give the juniors a little bit of a lesson in humility. I didn’t intend to trigger any actual bother. In spite of everything, aren’t you an teacher too?”

“What do you imply?” Philip was stunned by Bleuhan’s audacity and couldn’t assist however chuckle on the absurdity of all of it.

“Your identify?” requested Philip, making an attempt to take care of his composure.

“I’m Bleuhan Eloy.”

Philip acknowledged the identify. Bleuhan was the second son of the Eloy household, not that it mattered a lot to Philip, who thought of himself a mere further within the grand scheme of issues.

“All proper, Bleuhan Eloy. I’ll take it upon myself to provide you a correct punishment.”

Bleuhan raised an eyebrow, seemingly unimpressed. “And by what authority, Teacher? Isn’t it the Senior Professor who decides on correct punishment?”

Hailey Baroun was nonetheless wiping the blood off his brow, and checked out Bleuhan with a mixture of admiration and bewilderment. He couldn’t consider Bleuhan was daring sufficient to problem Philip, the son of the Oswald household, one of many influential northern guardian households.

‘Does he actually not know?’

Hailey puzzled, realizing that Bleuhan may not pay attention to Philip’s true id and the results of his actions.

Hailey couldn’t fathom how Bleuhan failed to acknowledge Philip, a famend determine even among the many instructors of the Swordsmanship Division. Hailey shook his head in disbelief, which inadvertently made him snigger, inflicting him to spit out somewhat blood.

Bleuhan was unfazed, and responded to Philip’s warning with a touch of defiance, “Do as you please. If in case you have the authority.”

Philip chuckled at Bleuhan’s obvious conviction. “I’ll provide you with and your folks an opportunity. In the event you acknowledge your mistake and present some regret now, I’ll spare you from additional punishment. However in the event you proceed like this, your folks will bear the results too.”

As Philip spoke, the fourth-year college students’ consideration shifted to Bleuhan. He calmly disregarded their involved seems.

“Properly… I’ll do as I see match.”

Bleuhan replied confidently, displaying that he had his personal rules guiding his actions.

Philip discovered himself amused by Bleuhan’s demeanor and casually positioned his sword and coat on Hailey’s shoulder. “Maintain on to those for a second, will you?”

Hailey was barely bewildered and replied, “Uh, positive. Okay.”

Hailey accepted Philip’s belongings and stepped again. He had a tough thought of what was going to occur any further.
