Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 75
75. The Wicked Confucius’s Cyan (1)
I thought to myself as I walked to the Kendo Club lecture hall building, where the lecture was about to begin.
The situation between Cain and the heroines was somehow resolved well.
There was still one more problem to be solved.
‘Darius Trevan… We need to catch that crazy b*stard and beat him up.’
Despite my repeated warnings, he continued to reveal my identity.
This was clearly an act of bullying. More than that, it was an act of treason.
I said I would send a disciplinary notice to his family, but I didn’t.
But I was still concerned about the fact that he was a fan until the moment he died. It was my own way of showing mercy.
‘But he also… .’
The back of my head felt so cold that it felt bright.
-Thump, thump.
My steps were calmer than ever.
As I walked, I roughly thought about what to do with him.
When I arrived at the classroom, I quietly opened the door.
-Knock knock.
And he stood in front of the stage and said.
“Darius Trevan, come out.”
My voice echoes calmly throughout the classroom.
The students who had been sitting in the pyramid-shaped seats and chatting stopped chatting and all looked at me.
It was because I felt the air current.
A quiet child who lived buried in others without any sense of presence suddenly points out someone and calls them?
And that student is usually a troublemaker and has a bad reputation?
Everyone knew right then and there that something was about to happen.
Hedy, who was sitting in the middle seat, also looked at me with surprised eyes. But I had no time to pay attention to her.
“Wh, what’s going on…?”
Darius approaches me, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
The other students opened their eyes wide when they saw that sight.
This was because he was known as the problem child of the swordsmanship club and the lowest-class bad boy, and he had never been seen to listen to others and act humbly.
I told him without caring.
“Stop talking and come out.”
No matter how heightened my emotions are, this is a classroom.
If you do your work in a place where students’ eyes are focused, it will become annoying.
“Oh, it’s almost time for class…? I don’t know what’s going on, but if you do it later, you shouldn’t-”
I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the classroom before he could finish speaking.
“Wh, what…!”
As he was being dragged away, Darius muttered something with a look of protest on his face.
His high self-esteem seemed to have been damaged by being insulted in a public place.
I sighed and said again.
“Be quiet and follow me.”
“… … .”
Darius followed me silently, his expression unreadable.
In a situation where it seemed as if a storm had passed, the students seemed to be staring out the door for a long time with bewildered expressions.
I stopped walking in the deserted backyard and finally opened my mouth.
“I told you not to go around saying that.”
“…What do you mean?”
Darius opened his eyes sharply.
His eyes were filled with rebellion, as if he was asking why he was being treated like this when he had done nothing wrong.
I looked Darius in the eye and said with a hollow smile.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“Yes, I really don’t know, so I’m asking.”
“I overlooked the warning last time because I felt bad for you, but you hit me in the back of the head like this?”
“… … .”
Darius remained silent until the end. The more he did so, the more my emotions grew intense.
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
“I really don’t know.”
“… You don’t know?”
Darius’s continued evasion made me wonder for a moment if he was really innocent.
But that thought was quickly dispelled by Darius’s reaction to the next question he asked as a test.
“Someone told me that you and your friends gossiped about me in the swordsmanship department’s lecture hall.”
Darius flinched.
And then he looks at me as if to say, “So what?”
I was so touched. I didn’t need to say anything else.
-Swish!
“… Catch it?”
“… … .”
I tried to punch him in the face, but he grabbed my arm.
So I rammed my counter punch into his groin so quickly that he couldn’t react.
-Kudangtang!
It was like a deja vu moment. He groaned and glared at me, his back against the back wall.
“What did I do that makes you look at me like that?”
“Confucius… What have you done so well… that you act like a good person?”
“…what?”
“Isn’t that right…? Just like me in the past… Phew… You committed all sorts of atrocities… And now you’re acting like a good person? It’s really disgusting…”
“… … .”
While I was getting angry, many thoughts came to my mind.
I am not a scoundrel, Confucius Xian.
This is Choi Ji-an from South Korea who has been in love.
… If I seemed to be acting like a good person to those who were entangled with the former Ping-yi Shi-an in human relationships, then what kind of life did the former Ping-yi Shi-an live?
He was a man who lived a reckless life without dreaming of the future because his danjeon was damaged.
Assault? Drinking? Maybe… he went beyond delinquency and created a victim like Cain, and then used the family’s support to cover up what he did.
It was enough to disgust me in Darius’ eyes. It would be ironic to be held responsible for the same thing now.
but.
…one thing was certain.
The man in front of me insulted me and, as if that wasn’t enough, threw away the favor I had offered. This was enough to hold him accountable.
I stood up and punched Darius in the stomach again as he glared at me.
“Ugh…!”
And said.
“Get out of the academy. Get out of my sight. If you ignore me again this time, then a letter will really be sent to your family.”
“… … .”
After saying those words, I walked into the classroom without even looking at Darius.
It was the moment to get out of the backyard.
Knock, knock, knock! The sound of hurried footsteps running away was heard.
‘… Did someone eavesdrop?’
Since I suddenly dragged the problem child out of the classroom, there might be students who came to see it out of curiosity.
I wasn’t too worried.
‘It doesn’t matter anymore.’
Since Cain and the heroines had already discovered their identities, there was no need to hide them any longer.
I headed to the classroom without paying any attention.
Darius seemed to be lost in thought, so he didn’t follow me or come to me. He didn’t show up until I got to the classroom and started teaching, and the next day was the same.
***
A few days passed since then.
Darius submitted his resignation as I said and I haven’t seen him since.
Often, while walking around the academy, I would run into Lucy, Aria, and Rosaria by chance.
“Ah! Mr. Cian, just a moment…!”
“sorry.”
Every time, I turned away and passed them by.
Now I was really mentally exhausted, so I desperately pretended not to know. I didn’t want to get involved.
Hedy’s related work was also put on hold.
Things hadn’t healed between her and me, but I also needed a mental break, so I treated her in the same way.
I felt like he was staring at me sometimes in the classroom, but I thought it was just my imagination and never looked up.
It seems like I spent the week peacefully without any major changes to my daily routine.
Yeah, a week.
“T-That’s a lie…! Didn’t the Brace Duchy’s Cyan resign…?!”
“Wow, how can a person change like that? Then why did you pretend it didn’t happen until now?”
“I tried to seduce you without even knowing that you were the same person… I’m disgusted with myself! Ugh!”
“But didn’t his danjeon get damaged? How did he get such high scores on the grade test?”
“Ariel Academy doesn’t seem to have any family backing….”
I don’t know how the rumor spread, but it seemed like most of the students in the swordsmanship club knew my true identity.
Darius, it can’t be because of that.
Because he disappeared without a trace. If he had wanted to screw me over until the end, he would have spread rumors and then shamelessly showed his face around.
I sat in my classroom, ignoring the students who were staring at me and thinking.
‘Who the hell is it…?’
Cain’s personality makes it highly unlikely, and Lucy, Aria, and Rosaria would have no reason to spread rumors either. They’ve been together all this time, so there’s no benefit to spreading rumors.
Hedy sitting across from me can’t be the culprit either. She’s… .
Because I don’t have any friends.
‘… Was it when you were in the backyard last time?’
After dragging Darius away, as I was coming out of the backyard again, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps running away.
I don’t know who it was, but I didn’t really care… Maybe that was poison. It seems like he was a more open-mouthed person than I thought.
“Phew… .”
After the combat theory class was over, I got up straight from my seat.
I couldn’t stand the burden of the students’ small, sullen stares at me any longer.
I walked as if I was running away to the dormitory.
“wait for a sec!”
But then, someone called me.
“Xian, are you Xian of the Duchy of Brace?”
He was a student from the fencing club who took classes in the same classroom.
Small, pea-like eyes and a crooked, upturned nose.
His hair is bushy, his skin is somewhat dark and yellowish, and he is tall but fat.
“…who?”
“Wow, heh heh, are you going to pretend not to recognize me now because I went on a diet?”
He chuckles unpleasantly. Was he someone who had met Si-an before Bing?
I asked cautiously.
“Sorry, I don’t remember very well. Were we acquaintances?”
“Hiya~ That’s too bad! It’s Verdi! Verdi! The prince of the west who used to play with you!”
‘The Prince of the West?’
The West is mostly desert, so if there is a prince, that is the only country he can be in.
King of the Desert. Ruled by the great ruler called ‘Khan’ who stands at the top of the pyramid… .
“…Are you the prince of the Bahatra Empire?”
“Right! Now I remember! Hehe.”
He clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
