Chapter 70
A few hours before the match—
After the war of nerves with Cassion, David headed straight towards the fourth knight order’s quarters, not the training grounds
Taking long strides, he soon reached the door of a certain person’s roo
His hand had absolutely no hesitation
On the wall next to the door, the sign that said 〈 Zobel 〉 shook
Soon, the door creaked open and a skinny young man appeared
“D…David”
David’s brows crumpled as the man sta with the command, David sla the thin youngback
As he sauntered in, David sat on the small sofa with practiced ease
Zobel, the owner of this room, closed the door and stood still
An uncomfortable silence settled over the space, and carrot-colored eyes furtively glanced sideways to gauge David’stime, then he quietly spoke
“You ?”
However, the pitiful atteht
Just as if he had chopped a carrot in half, David cut off Zobel onna cut me off, then at least talk first…’
Zobel muttered inwardly, but outwardly, there was a smile on his lips
“You oing to deliver it to you”
“If I had left it to a slowpoke like you and waited, the htaway, the sharp words held not a single ounce of consideration
“S…Sorry”
Nevertheless, Zobel kept his mouth shut and just faltered like a fool
He knew very well how painful it was to get hit by David’s huge fist
David soon approached the desk and leaned down
Zobel was the son of a doctor as also a pharether to the academy with David
He knew a lot about medicines like his father, and he learned how to make prescriptions from herbs and also inally, there were always sohts ould dabble in case a war breaks out, and Zobel was one of them
However, what’s unfortunate was that his skills as a pharht
However, his dreaht who’s skilled in the hthood
David was someone who noticed Zobel’s talent
Since his way of thinking was crooked in the first place, David planned from the very start to use Zobel to ensure victory in his matches
As a fellow academy student, he ell aware of his skills
And so too was David aware of Zobel’s ti Zobel into sub brute force, he became David’s pawn in an instant
Zobel tried to refuse at first
He said that he couldn’t do such a thing—he couldn’t throay his conscience
Until the pot lid-like hands beat hiave the answer David wanted
When the bruises on his body couldn’t possibly increase any longer, when his thighs turned black and blue fros, that was the point when Zobel started to constantly stutter in front of David
In the end, Zobel was the one who surrendered
And his surrender continued to this day
For more than two years now, he secretly served David as a personal pharmacist and pawn He always had a hand in David’s matches
Two years had already passed like that, but every time he did this, his conscience continued to be prickled
However, he had no choice but to help in this way, and so he turned a blind eye to his conscience as he had nightht
Thanks to this, Zobel grew emaciated, and his eyes always had dark circles around theht order also slowly started to avoid Zobel
David was pleased with this fact
The more isolated and distant he was from other people, the better This ensured that Zobel’s aid would remain a secret
The loneliness and torht him
“Um… D…David, thanks to the herb that you supplied… it asn’t hard to make the medicine T…Thank you”
As Zobel h the bottles ofti out angry huffs, but he soon smirked at this
How hilarious was it that soar-coated words
Ever since he saw the detestable face of that ‘street rat’, he felt a little better
David nodded as he answered
“Yeah, I had to take action because of your useless incoo that David ordered Zobel tothat no one would notice’
It was the same day that David had been appointed as Cassion’s opponent
After thinking about it for a long ti
However, there was a probleredient needed for it, but it was soreat deal of hesitation in case he ht strike a nerve, Zobel carefully asked David
‘I’ve heard ruredient B…But, it’s just, the guild doesn’t accept requests froht if y…you help with this? Since y…you’re a member of House Valentine’s b…branch family’
It was a very troublesoain, did he have a choice?
The perfect forredient was being supplied by that guild
This punk was so useless that he couldn’t even get his hands on it hined and stamped the request form from Zobel
