Episode 68: The Sprout Must Be Cut Down

“You… Shut up and listen! Don’t you dare look down on me with those eyes, you slave!”

Finally, the maggot seemed to reach his limit and tried to punch Johanna.

Thinking I couldn’t overlook this, I stepped forward to block his attack. But before I could, Johanna swiftly dodged and countered with a right hook grazing the maggot’s chin. Following up, she landed a roundhouse kick to his left cheek, sending him flying.

“Only Kaiser-sama has permission to touch me without my consent. Besides, resorting to violence because you can’t win an argument verbally is just pathetic, isn’t it?”

“You…!”

I briefly worried if the maggot suffered serious brain damage, but with onlookers providing a buffer and someone capable of recovery magic present, his head seemed fine. I felt relieved.

However, allowing my slave to go this far and withdrawing myself as the master would be unacceptable. I pulled Johanna behind me and stepped forward, taking advantage of the onlookers to stand in front of the barely standing maggot.

“Hey, who do you think you’re trying to seduce among my slaves? Your title is lower than mine, isn’t it?”

“What? Such nonsense doesn’t fly at this academy! You just started here, right!?”

“Huh? Who’s talking about the academy?”

“Huh?”

“How many years have you spent as a noble’s eldest son? Haven’t you learned anything from the Prevot incident? I’m talking about matters outside the academy. I’ll send a message to my father right away using my familiar.”

The negative influence of not noticing the slander against me until now may have been caused by my own doing, and such fools should be the ones to cut down the sprout that I firmly brought out.

“So cowardly!”

“Cowardly? Didn’t you just use your noble status to intimidate my slaves, lower-ranking individuals, and ignore their opinions in favor of your own? Did you call me cowardly for moving to formally protest outside the academy using my authority instead of wielding power within it like you? You’re a trash who tries to suck sweet nectar as a powerholder when in advantage and tries to suck sweet nectar as a weakling when in disadvantage, so don’t act so arrogant!”
