Chapter 13: Making new friends (2/2)
What the heck, this kid doesn't value his life!
Isn't that the Lucardo family heir? I heard they are the only noble family without an affinity to any magic, veteran fighters… if he's here to pick a fight with the Raizen prodigy then you are right, he really has big balls! Three of them!
Whispers about the two spread across the cafeteria until it became quite noisy. Everyone watched Lucien with his glowing silver eyes and Brian who was sitting and wore a bright smile on his face.
”You are really easily agitated and noisy” A new voice caught everyone's attention.
It was a youth with blood-red hair tied back into a ponytail. Unlike other students he wore black trousers and a black shirt with a red jacket, bearing the school's badge. This was the first time they were seeing someone putting on causal clothes with the school badge. At first they kept asking themselves if this is allowed but when they realized who the kid is, they understood why.
He had sharp facial features and bright red eyes. As this youth walked forward this air of royalty and confidence followed him tightly. He was the direct descendant of the Emperor, Fei! Hex!
”And?” Lucien's answer left everyone stunned! Including Hex.
He was used to people shying away because of his identity. He found Lucien interesting because of his gutsy move against the instructor Han who stopped him from murdering the new time mage in the empire. Even the way he spoke with the new Instructor Cain at the class and most of all, he had the power and talent to back it up! All this, he assumed that Lucien was relying on his clan's name to protect himself against people below him in terms of nobility, so he didn't expect Lucien will be bold enough to speak to him in the same manner.
”Hahaha! I see why you enjoy pissing him off! It's fun to see him make that face” Hex said to Brian before taking a seat next to him.
With Lucien at the other side of the desk, both youths glared at him with a rare smile on their faces, leaving Lucien even more confused. He expected Hex to at least talk down on Brian who is just a human but he didn't seem to have any intentions of doing that. Instead, he seemed satisfied with Brian.
”Fuck my life” Lucien said as he slowly sat down and continued eating in silence. All he wanted was a quiet time alone with his food but judging based on the look on their faces, he was sure these two did not care about that. In his opinion, they were sent by whatever being that lives at the deepest section of hell to make life miserable.
”You don't seem scared of my name… you don't seem scared of my grandfather's name… why?” Hex finally spoke up and broke the silence.
Gulp!
”Because it doesn't matter to me… I will become the next Beast emperor… for that reason, I have no reason to fear… In case you don't know, fear is an emotion for the weak… last time I checked, I am not weak!” Lucien gulped down half of the content in his jug of water before answering the question.
He may have spoken those words casually or maybe it's because he spoke those words so casually that's why everyone was stunned by it. Ever since the birth of this empire, no one has dared say something like this in public. For the fact that Lucien can boldly claim he will be the next beast emperor meant that he was aiming to surpass emperor Fei who has lived for more than Five hundred years!
