Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 73
73. I’m right.
‘This is crazy….’
Cain couldn’t believe the newspaper article he was seeing with his own eyes.
My pupils shook as if there had been an earthquake, and I felt a sense of emptiness as if I had been hit in the back of the head.
[Ariel’s first ever 3rd round test taker appears!]
▶Introduction: Just 40 fairy tears brought in!
So far, the two candidates who have contributed the most to Fairy Tears have been:
But as of yesterday, that record has been completely overturned.
Just the fairy tears I brought, over 40 of them!
The names of the protagonists who changed the records of Ariel Academy in the year 901 of the Imperial Calendar are….
Trembling.
The two arms holding the newspaper trembled.
I saw some familiar names.
Lucy, Aria, and…
‘cyanogen!’
-bang!
Cain slammed the newspaper he was holding down on the table.
“Ka, Cain…?”
Ellis, who sensed something odd about Cain’s atmosphere while he was sitting in the cafe, called out Cain’s name out of concern.
Cain tried to show a kind smile to Ellis and said,
“It’s nothing, Ellis. I’m going to go get some fresh air.”
“yes….”
Ellis noticed Cain’s uneasy smile, but could say no more.
It was because his trembling back seemed to be asking no one to grab him.
Boom! Bang!
The rocks are breaking helplessly, sending debris flying.
It was a mountain behind the academy where there were few people.
“What the heck… why!!”
Kwakwakwang!
Cain was venting his anger with his sword.
A multitude of emotions were crossing his mind from the sword he was swinging.
“Why does it have to be me!! You damn loser, Confucius Xian!!”
Kwaaang!
Only after pouring out his last emotions violently was Cain able to stop swinging his sword.
My feelings were complicated.
This time, I thought, things would not go as that scoundrel Confucius wanted.
[Lucy, Aria, and Tia. They all help the leader, Sian, and make their first contribution.]
But look at the results.
He beat out other applicants and became the first person to bring dozens of fairy tears to Ariel Academy.
Moreover, he even has his childhood friends Lucy and Aria…
“haha….”
I didn’t understand.
The fat, rascally Confucius Xian who persistently harassed him and his childhood friends.
Even though he lost all that weight, there was no way he could have changed his ways.
Because people wouldn’t have changed.
I don’t know what made him decide to lose weight, but in Cain’s eyes, he was just a fallen noble, beating himself up and publicly criticizing himself in front of his friends…
He was a villain who poured excrement on himself for no reason while he was sitting on the toilet.
This time it seemed like he was trying to steal his friends in a different way.
Sure enough… it could have been done.
‘At the Academy restaurant we ran into back then…’
He was eating with Aria and Lucy, and they were looking at him with curiosity.
Cain took the meaning as obvious ridicule.
like….
‘Those who are incompetent, please leave.’
‘Lucy and Aria are too different to hang out with someone like you.’
Cain began to become increasingly agitated.
What if Lucy and Aria completely turn to his side?
What if he takes away even Ellis, who is currently by his side?
I got goosebumps all over my body.
Hard.
Cain’s teeth clashed quickly.
At the same time, the words of a person suddenly flashed through Cain’s mind.
‘It’s an indiscriminate world. A world where those who have take everything from those who don’t, without leaving anything behind.’
‘What can you protect if you become a chosen warrior in this rotten world? Come with us, boy. We can recognize your talent.’
“No… no!”
Cain shook his head violently, trying to forget the words that kept running through his head.
And he ran. With his mind made up, he ran straight towards the academy.
***
“You’ve done a great job this time too. Congratulations, Mr. Sian.”
Cian was walking near the lecture hall while talking with Lucy and Aria about the current situation.
The 4th princess Rosaria, whom I met by chance.
He stopped in front of Xi’an and spoke to him.
“Hello, Your Highness the Princess.”
“Oh my, oh my, meet Her Highness the Princess!”
Aria quickly bowed to the accustomed knee and bowed.
Lucy was so surprised that she was a beat late in coming to her senses.
Cyan said to Rosaria.
“… It was possible because there were capable women. It was never something I did alone.”
“I know. You said Aria was with you too, right? And… you must be Lucy.”
“I’m sorry!”
Sian wanted to get out of this situation quickly.
“Hey, look over there! It’s the 4th princess! What brings you here?”
“Next door… All the hottest people these days are gathered here?! Wow. Is something serious going on?”
The attention from those around me began to become increasingly burdensome.
I was already physically and mentally exhausted from the third test, so if I got aggro again, I was sure I would get annoyed.
Cyan struck first.
“Your Highness, I am not feeling well, so I will be going now.”
“Yeah. You must have been on your way to the dormitory. Go and get some rest.”
“Xian, are you leaving already? What’s the story?”
“Let’s do it later, Aria.”
It was at that moment that Si-an tried to escape from the place.
“Lucy!! Aria-!!”
Everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise and turned their heads in the direction of the sound.
Someone was running.
A man wearing armor that looked like a swordsman… He was covered in dirt, as if he had just come from rough training.
Lucy and Aria were the first to recognize him.
“Cain…? What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“… … !”
Xi’an was astonished.
Cain?
Why is he suddenly coming this way?
No, it’s only natural since Lucy and Aria are here.
In any case, it had nothing to do with him. Having decided so, Si-an tried to continue walking.
“Stop right there! Where are you running off to!!”
Cain, who had come closer, grabbed Sian’s shoulder.
Cyan, startled, reflexively turned his head towards him.
Running away?
No, running away is true… but how did he know that?
Without even having time to think about it, Cain blocked Sian and pushed him back so he couldn’t escape.
Then, Rosaria, who was momentarily dumbfounded from surprise, grimaced and said.
“How rude, let go of him! What are you doing all of a sudden?!”
But Cain, who was excited, paid no attention and called Lucy and Aria.
“Lucy, Aria!”
“yes yes…?”
“Why are you doing this, Cain?”
Lucy flinched in fear at his actions, which she had never seen before.
“Why on earth… why do you stick around with him like you’re close to him!”
“What are you talking about, Cain…? Something seems off today. Are you okay?”
“Cain. What do you mean? What’s wrong with being friends with Sian?”
“You, you guys…!”
Cain trembles in despair, then laughs in vain.
“That guy named Si-an… Do you know who he is?”
“I hear you, it’s really serious! Weren’t you Aria’s close friend-”
“Lucy! Aria! Listen to me carefully!”
Cain ignores Rosaria and raises his voice.
“Do you remember that rascal Confucius who used to flirt with you and be so persistent in the first semester?”
“I remember… that’s true. But why did he suddenly…?”
“He was quite persistent. I remember that he finally retreated only after I raised my sword. Thinking back, it gives me goosebumps. But why is he suddenly mentioning it?”
“Haha… Ha, right! That’s right! It’s creepy! But why… Why do you stick with that guy!”
Everyone looked at Cain strangely.
I suddenly couldn’t understand what kind of crazy stuff he was talking about.
Lucy and Aria tilted their heads.
“Come on! Come on, bring this guy down!”
Rosaria, whose face was on edge, was waving to the knights around her.
Cian, who had been silently standing still, stopped Rosaria.
Then, Rosaria was momentarily confused as to why Cyan was stopping her, and in that situation, Cain spoke.
“That b*stard is that damn Prince Xian of the Duchy of Brace! The one who has been harassing us so relentlessly! That damn b*stard, that guy!”
It was a dangerous and insulting remark for a mere baron to make to the prince of a duchy.
But Cain didn’t care and kept shouting.
Everyone freezes at his words.
Lucy was the first to break the brief silence. She shook her head and said,
“Mr. Xian is that prince…? Hey, Cain. What are you talking about?”
“I think you’re acting strange today, Cain. Don’t you think Sian and him look completely different now? Apologize to him quickly…”
“-That’s right.”
When Si-an, who had been listening silently, spoke first, silence fell once again.
““… … .””
Lucy, Aria, and now even Rosaria all looked at Cian with bewildered eyes.
Rosaria had also been harmed by Cyan.
The scoundrel Prince Xian persistently courted Rosaria, who was one of the five most beautiful women in the academy, but was rejected and then stalked again.
It was only after the royal court imposed punishment that he stopped pursuing her.
Rosaria denies the situation with a strange laugh.
“Mr. Xi’an, what does that mean…”
but.
“I’m right. That fat, spoiled brat of a duchy.”
Cyan spoke again as if to tie up the situation.
Except for Cain, who was grumbling, everyone else who had been standing there for a while was just dumbfounded.
