Chapter 49 (1/2)

Doug’s sudden declaration turned the crowd noisy.

“Oioi, he just challenged him…”

“Heath?”

“Isn’t this guy crazy strong? Is Heath gunna be alright?”

“Don’t tell me he transferred here for Heath’s spot in the 18th?”

Doug and Fii stared at each other.

His grey eyes were locked onto Fii from behind his blonde hair.

“If you’re really a knight, then you won’t run,” challenged Doug.

“Oi. Not so fast,” interrupted Gorm. “Don’t you think you’re being pretty selfish?”

“Gorms from the Zalsik Dojo, huh.”

“Oh? You’ve heard of me?” smirked Gorms as he looked downwards at Doug.

“This is really none of your business,” argued Doug. “Mind not interrupting me?”

“No can do.”

Pointing his thumb behind him at Fii, Gorms continued,

“This kid is like my underling.”

(Underling…!)

Fii had no recollection of becoming anything like that though.

“Ya think I can sit around if you pick a fight with him?”

“So what are you saying.”

The two boys glared at each other.

Watching them, Fii joined the conversation as well.

“Gorms! Friends are equal! It’s weird to have those higher and lower! I’m completely opposed to this!” she complained with her hand up.
