Chapter 54 (2/2)

“You’re busy, right? We could’ve gone and taken care of it while you deal with your cute juniors…Where are the usual three at?”

“I told them I’m going to come to the school to get the job explanation, but they told me to go alone…The three of them graduated here as well, but for some reason they don’t like coming here with me.”

Loren wasn’t surprised, as he glanced at the girls behind Klaus, who were still looking at him with hostility.

It seemed that Klaus was very popular among the students, and it wasn’t surprising that any girls that were with Klaus would be met with hostility.

Loren could understand why Ange and the other girls didn’t want to come, since they would have to deal with a horde of girls that were giving even him harsh looks, even though he was the same gender as Klaus.

“I’m a graduate so I can show you around. So please let me go with you. I can’t escape even if I tried.”

He said to Loren in a small voice, but since it was so small, he had to get closer to Loren to say it.

It was a troublesome case for Loren, but when he thought about it, a portion of the students were attending the school because they were talented, but many of them were from a high cla.s.s.

He didn’t know what kind of repercussions he could face later if he treated them harshly, and if Klaus was thinking the same thing, he could understand why Klaus wasn’t being so hard on them. Understanding Klaus’ predicament, Loren decided that leaving him here was pitiful.

“Can’t be helped, I guess…Alright, let’s go.”

When he grabbed Klaus’ shoulder and pulled him towards the direction they were going, the girls that surrounded Klaus cried out at the slight rough treatment.

“What are you doing to Klaus!”

“Don’t touch Klaus with those dirty hands of yours!”

“Where are you taking him? We’re not done talking with him!”

Klaus went pale at the things they yelled at Loren.

To Klaus, who knew what kind of person Loren was, knew that insulting him was a very dangerous thing to do.

It wasn’t surprising that he went pale because he was the cause of those insults.

He panicked and tried to stop the girls, but before he could do so, Loren stepped forward facing the girls, who went silent for a moment at the atmosphere that Loren was radiating, and said in voice that wasn’t loud, but could still be heard clearly.

“Shut up. You want to get messed up?”

It wasn’t as if he had his hand on the great sword on his back.

But the girls went pale all at once when they heard Loren’s voice, filled with killing intent.

Not only that, the girls that were closer to Loren started foaming at the mouth and dropped unconscious.

On top of that, regardless of whether they were conscious or not, students who wet their pants or skirts started popping up, thus becoming even more chaotic.

While screams, wails, and howls flew around, Loren was shocked at the situation that he had caused.

He thought they would shrink away at the most at his coercion, and didn’t expect them to foam and faint, or even incontinence.

“Aren’t they a bit too fragile?”

“No, that made my own blood run cold too.”

As Klaus said that with a pale face, Lapis, who was standing near them, stared at Loren with intrigued face.

Her expression looked more like one of suspicion after witnessing something mysterious, rather than being surprised at Loren’s coercion.

As Loren wondered if she felt something, Shayna popped out from the side and giggled.

‘I think mixing a bit of a No Life King’s vibe with Onii-san’s killing intent was the problem.’

When Loren sighed at what she’d done, Shayna flew around in his sight, as if she couldn’t hold back her anger.

‘They called Onii-san’s hand dirty, you know!?’

Shayna said angrily how it was unforgivable, and Loren wasn’t sure how to respond.

He did feel a slight happiness that she had gotten angry for him, but the resulting chaotic situation seemed a bit too much.

When he told Shayna that he was happy, but to tone it down next time, although she looked like she wasn’t satisfied, she nodded and blinked out his sight.

“I felt an odd presence just now.”

Lapis told him, still staring in Loren’s direction.

Although Shayna only used a slight amount of her power for a fraction of a second, Lapis had felt it, so Loren, astonished at her senses, played dumb.

“I didn’t feel anything.”

“Really? Was I imagining it…no, maybe Loren is just a very scary person? Scary enough to make such a horrible scene?”

“The students here are probably too fragile. I’ve been in battle and I’ve come back from battlefield, remember? It must have been too much for kids that haven’t experienced real battle.”

As Loren decided to go with that explanation, Lapis, although she looked like she wasn’t convinced, couldn’t think of any other explanation, so she stopped investigating.

“Is that so? Anyways, let’s get back to work.”

“You’re going to the princ.i.p.al’s office, right? I’ll take you there, follow me.”

As Klaus took the lead, Loren and Lapis started talking in low voices.

“Didn’t his att.i.tude become way to good compared to the first time we met him?”

“Maybe he holds everything inside. He’s waiting to stab us from behind when our guards are down.”

“I’d prefer if you said I reformed, but…whatever…”

Since Klaus, who was a graduate, was guiding them, there was no worry about them getting lost in school grounds.

With Klaus, whose shoulders drooped but didn’t stop leading them, in the lead, Loren and Lapis left the havoc behind them.
