Chapter 16: Disturbance In The Market Part Two
Hearing Alissa's question I thought for a minute before spotting a young woman walking around in a set of leather armor that was simple and looked easy to move in. "Something like what she is wearing."
"Oh? That seems to be the new trend lately. Though the shorts are a little high on the legs but if you wore some stockings it would not matter. They are light and still offer some defense. With how you move during a fight they would be perfect. Especially after seeing that kick of yours. They also have daily clothes in the same fashion now as well. I think the academy even took on this style of clothing for the female students." Able said as he scrutinized the armor. He was actually matching my fighting style with the armor which surprised me. I never thought he was looking at me so closely. What if… No, I couldn't even begin thinking of such things. He was probably just interested in how I fought since it was unusual.
"Then let's go there. I, myself like this style as well." Alissa added in.
We made our way down the street to another store that was filled with many young ladies. It seemed this style was really popular amongst the masses. I was walking behind Alissa and Able as we were about to enter the store when a group of young ladies stood in front of me. "Since when did this store allow beggars to enter? Look, your clothes hardly fit. It could be said she probably stole them from somewhere else. Do you plan to steal from this store as well?"
I was a bit confused. I looked around to see no one else behind me, so I could only assume they were speaking to me. But I never met these girls before so why were they being mean all of a sudden? Tiling my head to the side I asked: "Do I know you?"
"Haha, did you hear that? She asked if she knew me. She wished she knew me, the Great Magus apprentice of Sir Felix, Angelina Borksmark. " Angelina proudly stated with her nose held high into the air. The girls behind her all sniggering away as they looked at me. It was as if I was about to suffer a great loss.
"I see… Well good for you and your great self." I said not caring too much for the girls in front of me as I went to walk by them. But I only got two steps before my path was yet again blocked.
"Did I say you could leave?" Angelina's voice was filled with anger. I guess my words must have angered her because her whole face was very red and the veins in her forehead seemed to be popping out. But I wondered why she was so angry? I did not say much and she was already on the verge of dying from anger.
I let out a sigh and looked at the girls. I could tell they were just looking for trouble with me. Why I do not know but I was not going to let them bully me. "Do I need your permission to enter this store? Do you own this store or does your family own this store? If not then there is nothing stopping me from entering. If you wish to be a bitch that's fine but I will say this. If you do not want me to beat you up then you best move out of the way otherwise I will make it so your mother will not even recognize you."
I really did not want to beat anyone up but this girl was just acting too forceful thinking she could pick on me since I seem weak. But even if this girl was able to cast magic without a chant I also did not need to cast magic without a chant so I could always form a shield to protect myself. I had now understood how magic worked so it would be fairly easy for me to form a shield to block the attack then punch the girl in the face. I of course was planning to be a magic knight after all which required me to use my physical body as well.
"You! You dare threaten me?" Angelina yelled out as she clenched her fist.
"Ummm… I guess you must be deaf. I am in a good mood so I will repeat myself to you. Move before you get beaten up." As I said this I took a step forward and was about to strike out when I heard my name being called.
"Rei!" Able pushed through the group of girls and stood in front of me. Alissa was right behind him.
"What do you think you are all doing to Rei!?" Alissa yelled out.
Angelina's cheeks blushed when she saw Able but she then glared fiercely at me. "Sir Able, why are you sticking up for this beggar? Look at what she is wearing, you can tell she has stolen it from one of the other stores."
"Huh? Are you a mindless idiot? The dress she is wearing was bought by me when I did not ask her clothes size and as my fiancee, she is even willing to go as far as to wear it for me to make me not feel bad about my mistake. Plus what does it matter what she is wearing? My fiancee's clothes have nothing to do with you. If you wish to stir up trouble, I am sorry to say that you will be the one to end up in pain. My fiancee may seem weak but I will say this now, not even I can beat her." I was blushing ear to ear. Did he really have to announce it to the world that I was his fiancee? It was only temporary anyway. Why would he do such a thing?
"Fiancee!?" Angelina's face turned even more ugly as she glared even more fiercely at me. "I request a duel! I will show you that this girl is no match for Sir Able!"
