Novel Full Chapter 9 - We Need To Talk
"This is…. So average." said one of the Audience
Strength: 3
Mind: 4
Mana: 2
'Well, it seems not to be very different from the system calculation.' thought Angus while looking at the result.
While Angus thought about unnecessary things, "Um.. Do you want to do another test?" asked the teacher in charge of the device.
But Angus's answer surprised everyone, "Nah… I already expected such a result. Rather why don't you hurry to call the next student so we can move along." said Angus walked towards his seat.
The responsible teacher didn't even know what to do and only looked at the headmaster for help. But, before he could ask the headmaster, a loud laugh was heard from the senior year student.
"HAHAHAHA…Teacher, you must be joking, right? There is no way such a weak, pathetic ass like that is the son of the mighty Duke Victory." Said one of the senior students, and the audience also chatted around, thinking that it might be a joke.
At this moment, the arena immediately becomes hotter in seconds. But, the senior student didn't notice this and kept making fun of Angus. Feeling the change in the atmosphere, a middle-aged man begins to reprimand the student loudly at this disastrous situation.
"SHUT UP YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH, HENRY!!!" said the middle-aged man.
Looking at the old man's angry face, the senior student called Henry shut his mouth with a pale face. During this moment, everyone begins to notice the strange rise of temperature in the air.
"I see… So, he is your son, Count Dalton." Said Duke Victory in a deep voice.
At this time everyone is silently afraid of being burned by the mighty Duke Fire Dragon. As for Count Dalton thought to himself, 'Damn… Why does this son of mine happen to be the one that makes fun of his son? Moreover, is he truly his son?'
"Haha.. Don't worry about it, Duke Victory. He is just some kid.."
Before he could finish his excuse, "So, you also think that Angus is not my son??!" Jacob looked coldly and approached Count Dalton. With each step he took, the atmosphere began hotter.
"No.. no… Duke Victory" as Count Dalton thinks how to get away from the fire dragon in front of him.
As all this is happening, Angus could only lament his future getting some unnecessary trouble from this event.
'Haa… To think this kind of thing really happens. Father is always very sensitive about his family. I hope my father could still think rationally.' thought Angus inwardly.
Then, Jacob looked at Angus for a few seconds. Within these few seconds, Angus only shook his head. Looking at this, Jacob could only smile silently. But, to others, his smile looks like a devil smile ready to burn someone in hell.
After a few moments of silence, "Since Angus is weak, why don't your son protect him? Didn't it be the job of the strong to protect the weak? Unless… you want me to teach you how to protect the weak?" Jacob shows a smile that is not a smile at all.
"Y-Yes… Duke victory. O-Of course. It's my son's honor to protect the son of a mighty duke fire dragon." The count immediately agreed with Jacob before being burned into ash.
"Good… If by some chance Angus got hurt a little bit in the academy, then I guess I need to give you some tips about how to become noble." Said Jacob
Jacob looked toward Angus for a few seconds and went back to his seat.
Looking at this, 'Ahh.. I see. So, he wants to assign a bodyguard to protect me and remind those stupid people. Great move, Dad. I guess I still need to learn many things about noble's politics' Thought Angus.
After that, the test proceeds normally as before. But, the people weren't in the mood to look at the other new students.
Moreover, no one gives another surprise like the 4th princess or Ian's result. Soon, the event came to end with a few words from the headmaster Antonio.
Then, everyone immediately gets out of the building, afraid of the Duke Victory, while leaving few people inside the building. As for Angus before he tries to get away, he is forced to stay behind by his father with a silent glare.
'Haaa… Having an overprotective parent is troublesome.' thought Angus
After the other people leave, "Brother, Good to see you." Angus got called by his second brother Vergil as his brothers approached him.
"Vergil, how are you doing?" replied Angus cheerfully
"Fine. How's mother?" asked Vergil
"Mother's fine as she should be." answered Angus before looking at his older brother.
"Brother Jason.." said Angus.
"Hmph… Don't talk to me weakling. Talk to me after you become strong enough not to tarnish our family name." Said Jason coldly
"Aww… Don't be so cold, Older brother. It's been some time that we see Angus." Said Vergil to amend the atmosphere between the two brothers.
"Hmph…" Jason ignores Vergil before leaving his two brothers.
Looking at Jason's attitude, Vergil could only shake his head before going back to Angus, "Don't worry Angus, he's just a little bit cold outside but warm inside." Reassure his younger brother.
"It's okay, Vergil. I don't mind it. Anyway, you got stronger than last time we met." said Angus
"Of course, Ahh.. Yeah, If anyone tries to bully you, just call me and I will mincemeat them." Said Vergil while flexing his muscle proudly.
"Then, I guess I will trouble you to take care of me, brother. Anyway, brother, I hear that running…" Angus and Vergil begin to chat about various things to catch up with others.
They stop their talk when their father approaches them. "Father, good to see you. That fire performance is amazing as always." said Vergil
"Good to see you too, Vergil" replied Jacob before looking at Angus.
"Angus, we need to talk." Said Duke Jacob.
