Chapter 04 - Sufficient Reason to Step In (2)
‘This is really annoying.’
The mercenary, who was drinking with his colleagues, frowned.
He had just been lying about the male waiter bringing him the wrong food.
He had thought that if the commotion grew in a situation where neither side had proof, the owner would intervene and offer a free side dish.
However, the situation became awkward due to the sudden appearance of the female waitress. He surveyed his surroundings.
Wѐ b́ǹ о vӗ l Е̊ń üm̂ǎ
‘Everyone believes that bitch’s words!’
Even though he had no reason to feel wronged, anger surged within him. He raised his voice in embarrassment, but this audacious waitress was glaring at him without backing down an inch.

‘I have to push harder!’
In most situations, the person with the loudest voice has the advantage. This was his long-held belief. Having decided to bluff his way through, he shouted even louder and approached the waitress.
It was accompanied by a threatening hand gesture. He did not intend to hit her, but he wanted to at least crush that arrogant attitude of hers.
Just then, a hand intervened between the mercenary and the waitress.

“That’s enough.”
“Huh? Who the hell are you?”
“You seem to be very drunk. For now, please calm down and let’s go outside to resolve this with a conversation.”
The drunken mercenary narrowed his eyes and looked at the newly appeared man.

No, using the term ‘man’ was a bit unfitting. The mercenary burst out laughing at the opponent's appearance, who looked much younger than him.
Then he cursed and swung his hand. The thought that even a fledgling was disrespecting him made him flare up.

Seeing this, the mercenary’s colleagues, the other customers, and the waitress all wore startled expressions.
WHOOSH.
“Huh? He dodged it?”
“That’s enough, isn’t it?”
However, contrary to the crowd's expectation that he would be sent flying far away, the boy dodged the mercenary’s palm with surprising ease. The people showed interest in the unexpected situation, their eyes gleaming.
Isn’t it said that the most entertaining spectacles are watching a fire and watching a fight?

The customers, who had distanced themselves appropriately from the two, fully assumed the stance of spectators. The boy, however, seemed completely unfazed by this, showing a relaxed demeanor.
But the mercenary was not at all pleased with this situation.
‘Fuck, all I wanted was a free side dish!’
He did not like that things had gotten bigger, nor the current situation where he felt like a clown.
But the most annoying thing was the boy, who still had peach fuzz on his face, interfering with his business.
The alcohol, embarrassment, and anger made his body hot. He channeled that heat and threw a much stronger punch than before.

WHOOSH, SWISH!
BOOM!

The mercenary’s punches were quite sharp.
As befitting his large build, a considerable amount of force was felt, and his speed was not slow either. Every time his fist shot out, the air in the tavern screamed.
But no one in the inn paid any attention to the mercenary. Even his colleagues were busy looking elsewhere.
This was because the opponent his fists were chasing, the fledgling with the delicate-looking face, was putting on an incredible display.

“Wow, he dodged it again!”
“Again, again! He hasn’t been hit once!”
“It’s not even a close call. He’s completely at ease, isn’t he?”
The crowd’s reaction grew increasingly heated. Some stared at the boy’s movements with dazed expressions, unaware that food was spilling from their mouths.

It was neither fast nor flashy. At least, that was how it looked to the customers in the inn. The boy was merely showing slight nods of his head and simple footwork.
Nevertheless, the mercenary’s fists could not even graze the boy’s body.
Ė núm̊а̇ ..і̌ d
One of the customers offered a compliment filled with admiration.
“He’s so young, but he’s really amazing. That big guy can’t even touch him, can he?”
“Hey, that’s not it. He’s too busy dodging to even attack.”
A rebuttal came immediately from the side, but it was not true.
The boy, Lumian, was in a very relaxed state. He felt not a shred of crisis and was calmly analyzing the mercenary’s attacks.
‘His eyes are pretty good, though.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Lumian’s specs were not outstanding.
Strictly speaking, he was far behind his classmates at the Knight Academy. His total amount of Aura was not large, nor was his body well-trained.
But his eyesight was excellent enough to be acknowledged by him, who had demanding standards. If he were to miss a punch from a street mercenary with eyes like these, he would have to stick his face in a bowl of water and die.
His lack of physical ability was not a problem at all either. Ryan Promhart’s real-world combat experience was more than enough to bridge that gap. In fact, Lumian had the leisure to break through the mercenary’s barrage of punches and settle the situation at any time.
‘But it wouldn’t be cool to end it too early.’
Why had he intervened in the dispute between the waitress and the mercenary?
Е n um a . і̌ d
It was to look cool. Through this, he intended to gain the attention of the prettiest girl of the day, the inn waitress.
Beating this mercenary to a pulp was not the important part. The point was to use this guy to create the coolest situation possible.

‘There needs to be a scene where I dodge like this, narrowly.’
The mercenary’s left straight grazed Lumian’s cheek. The surprised voices of the people filled the inn.
Of course, this was intentional on Lumian’s part. He was not in any danger at all right now.
‘A more dramatic presentation becomes possible.’
E n̆ûm̂а̊ . i̇ ď
The atmosphere had become quite heightened. In the midst of it, Lumian discreetly rolled his eyes to check on the waitress.
Her appearance, with her hands clasped and a worried expression, was incredibly lovely. A faint smile graced his lips.
The inn customers could not see it. But it was very clear in the eyes of the mercenary at close range. He misunderstood Lumian’s smile as a sneer directed at him.
“This bastard! Are you taking it easy!”

The mercenary, furious to the core, twisted his upper body greatly. At the same time, Lumian’s eyes widened.
A situation where his posture had collapsed due to excitement. But to a third party, the large movement would feel very threatening.
Е̂ n̈ uḿ а̇
A lightning-fast counterattack erupting in such a situation, and the result of the fight being reversed in one blow.
From a spectator’s point of view, how would that feel?
‘Not bad. No, it’s excellent!’
Lumian clenched his fist. He had been calm even with a large fist in front of his face, but he could not contain his excitement thinking about the result that would soon unfold.
SWOOOOOSH-!
While he was thinking, the man’s fist was shooting out forcefully like a spring. A very fast speed. But to Lumian, who was focused for the sake of his desire, it looked slow enough to make him yawn.

One, two, now. Aiming for the perfect timing, he made his first attack. The boy’s small fist connected with the jaw of the mercenary who was leaning forward.
THWACK!
PLOP.
That was the end of it.
The large mercenary collapsed forward like a marionette with its strings cut. He had been knocked out in a single blow.
Lumian, who let out a breath, straightened his clothes.
Е ṅ ú ma . і̃ ď
He turned his head. And he said a word to the mercenary’s colleague, who had a dazed expression.
“Take him away. Don’t cause any more trouble.”

“W-wooooooah!”
“What? Did he just knock him out with one punch? That giant?”
“No way! He looks so much younger!”
A great cheer erupted.
Ѐ n um̃ а_.ī_d
The unbelievable martial prowess the boy had shown against the large mercenary!
There could not be a better side dish to go with their drinks. The people, who had been holding their breath since the latter half of the fight, let it out and began to talk in loud voices. Taking advantage of the gap, the mercenary’s colleagues took the mercenary and went up to the second-floor lodging, but no one paid them any attention.
Of course, it was a given. They were not the stars of the day. A few of the tipsy people approached the boy who had produced the incredible result and struck up a conversation.
“Hey, that was amazing! How on earth did you do that?”

“You have great courage. I was just starting to frown at that guy’s behavior myself.”
“Me too. If you hadn’t stepped in, I would have taught him a lesson······.”
Ẽn̆u̇ḿ ǎ. і d
“Ah, yes······.”
Lumian smiled awkwardly and responded to them.
He felt terrible. He had finished things off coolly as he had wanted and had become the star of the inn. But this was to gain the favor of the waitress, not to become the idol of drunken old men.
To make matters worse, the male waiter with a tearful expression and the innkeeper approached him.
It was obvious they had a lot to say.
‘Fuck, this isn’t it.’

Lumian closed his eyes for a moment. It was horrible. It was horrible that he was monopolizing the popularity of men not just in his past life but in his new life as well, and the swarthy men who would be camped out when he opened his eyes were also horrible.
It felt as if he were under a curse.
Amidst the sweaty smell of the old men, he exerted superhuman patience to suppress the urge to scream.
Just then.
He felt a hand grasp his own.
Lumian opened his eyes in surprise. The sensation was so soft that it was hard to believe it belonged to a man.

Fortunately, his prediction was not wrong.
In front of Lumian stood the well-built waitress from before, wearing a worried expression. She was holding his hand tightly with both of hers.

His mind went as blank as a sheet of paper.
“Thank you, sir! Thank you so much for helping me!”
“Uh, yes······.”
“I should have stopped him, but I was too scared to do it. I’m sorry, and thank you so much!”
W ĕ ḃ n̊о̂ v_е l̄. Ѐ ňum а̇
A commoner had willfully grabbed the hand of a nobleman. This was a considerable rudeness.
But Lumian had no room to consider such things.
The waitress hopping on her toes while holding his hand, and her breasts bouncing up and down accordingly, had ruthlessly shaken his mind.
‘Is this······ heaven······?’

His first experience of skinship with a woman after getting his member!
Lumian’s body stiffened. It was due to nervousness. Sweat poured down his back like rain from a pressure that could not even be compared to when he was fighting the mercenary.
Е ṅ u m̂ а
He could not even remember the cool lines he had prepared.
Inevitably, Lumian gave a very safe and bland response.
But this was a huge mistake.
“No, not at all. I was just doing what I had to do as a knight cadet······.”
“Knight cadet······ Oh my!”
The waitress let go of his hand in surprise.

Lumian was even more surprised. As the sensation of the soft female hand disappeared, it felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
‘Just hold on for a little longer!’
It was a thought he could only have inwardly, one he could not bring himself to say out loud.
To him, the waitress bowed politely and said.
“So you were a cadet of the Knight Academy······ I apologize for not recognizing you! For a lowly person like me to dare touch the hand of a noble person so freely······ I am truly sorry!”
“Ah, no. You don’t have to be that sorry······.”
Ẃе̇ bn õv̀е l̊ Е ṅúm̂a
Most of the members of the Knight Academy were nobles, and even the commoners were talented individuals with a high probability of becoming nobles in the future. The waitress’s apology was a matter of course.
But from Lumian’s perspective, an apology was completely useless. He would have rather felt the waitress’s hand for a little longer.

“As expected, I thought your skills were extraordinary. So you were a pillar of the academy!”
“Amazing! You’re magnificent!”
“We have committed a rudeness. Please be merciful and forgive us······.”
But the hand that had once left did not return.
W̆еḃn о v̇ еl Е n̄ úm̊ a
The space between him and the waitress was filled with balding, red-skinned, drunken old men.
Their apologies and flattery were also completely unnecessary.
Lumian’s face looked as if he were about to cry.
“It’s all right. You don’t have to worry too much······.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But he could not take out his anger on these people who had done nothing wrong.
Neither Lumian Calard nor Ryan Promhart had such a malicious personality. In the end, he could only watch the well-built waitress, who had retreated, from a distance.
W̄е b n̆о̀ v e l̃ Еn̄ ûm_а̄
‘Fuck······ no······ let’s be satisfied with this for today······.’
Lumian, who had been accepting the old men’s flattery with a bitter expression, returned to his room a short while later. He wanted to rest because he had suddenly become tired. Even after he disappeared, the inn’s customers did not stop talking about Lumian for a long time.
‘What? Lumian took down a huge mercenary with his bare hands?’
And so, the news of the day flowed into the ears of Lumian’s classmate, who had entered the inn late.
