Chapter 27 How Northern Nobles Handle Problems! Lucy’s Strong Aura!
Everyone around them looked towards the source of the voice.
”Lynn? Which Lynn? Ah, was it the man who was kicked out by the Kyle family?”
”Why did he come here? How could a civilian sit in such an extravagant carriage?”
”Who is the girl next to him? She’s beautiful. Is she a nobleman? Why is a nobleman with a commoner? Does she want to die?”
The young nobles were bored of waiting around, and looked over and whispered at the entertainment. Lynn looked at Linze with a calm expression. He had no anger at Linze’s crass manners.
”I have mastered magic, so I am here,” Lynn said plainly.
Linze sensed the mana in Lynn’s body carefully, and his face twisted a little with jealousy. Lynn really had magic! And he was a flame wizard too! Linze looked at Lynn with suspicion.
”Where did you get the monster meat and magic potions? No wonder you were so anxious to leave. Were you stealing from our house?”
His mouth only spat out insults. Lynn suddenly went up to him and decked him. Lynn had exercised all year, so he was physically stronger that Linze. He could not stop Lynn, and was punched in the face. Linze fell to the ground and spat out blood.
”How dare you hit me!” Linze spewed.
”Come over here! A civilian has attacked me on the streets! I sentence him to death!” Linze continued while covering his face.
Several men in charge of maintaining order quickly rushed over with a few soldiers of Monlar. Two magicians in magic robes also followed.
”What is going on?!”
”My reputation was sullied,” Lynn said. “He accused me of stealing precious potions and monster meat without any evidence. I merely solved the problem in the way of the northern nobles.”
The soldiers and magicians looked at Linze.
”He is a mule! Before the age of sixteen, he should not have eaten any monster meat or potions from our house! I have proof!” Linze exclaimed.
”How rich is the Kyle family?” Lynn asked. “If magic potions were stolen, would it be possible for no one to notice?”
At this time, Lynn was calm. In the face of provocation, his performance and aura led people to be convinced of his story. Speaking could also cut straight to the point, which allowed Lynn’s words to make the soldiers and wizards to agree with him. How could such a precious resource be stolen and not found out? Linze’s presence was much worse than Lynn’s as he was already panicking.
”He is a civilian! A civilian who dared to fight a noble! He broke the laws of the Holy Empire!”
The soldiers and wizards looked at Lynn again.
”Are you really a civilian?”
”Yes, but I have mastered magic, flame magic to be precise,” Lynn said with ease.
The wizards and soldiers focused on Lynn for a second, and found that his words were true. He really was a flame wizard. The security was a little embarrassed. Lynn was not a nobleman, but his reputation as a magician could not be tarnished. Yet, Lynn hit a person directly.
”Get him!” Linze yelled. “What is there to be afraid of?!” He is a civilian. I am the master’s cousin!”
Several soldiers still felt uncomfortable. Lynn’s civilian identity made it seem like he was bullying Linze. However, right now Lynn was calm. Since there was a large number of wizards everywhere, all Lynn had to do was unleash all of his magic to attract a large number of high ranking ones.
No one would go against Lynn’s reputation for Linze’s sake once it was apparent that Lynn was a genius with more than 1,000 mana points. If he dared to do so, he already had a plan in mind. Although, Lynn did not move and Lucy suddenly came next to Lynn.
”I am the daughter of the Count of Frost, Lucy Frost Maple! Lynn is my fiance, and anyone who dares to bully my future husband must be ready to take on the lives of my Frost Maple family.”
Lucy was soft and obedient in front of Lynn, but she was a nobleman of the North. She had the ferocity and determination of such a noble. She did not think that anyone would be allowed to fight against Lynn. The soldiers hesitated yet again.
The Central Aristocracy had always looked down upon the Northern Nobles, but they were able to get along because the Norths were excellent at fighting. By living in a relatively cold place along with a half beast lineage, their armies were extremely powerful. Even though magicians were scarce, no one wanted to fight against the might of the North. In the end the soldiers decided.
”Both of you, go back to your carriages! Do not get out of the cart until you are being called for your testing. That is it!”
Linze looked at Lynn with a grim face full of jealousy. Lucy’s strong guard showed her true love for Lynn. He was protected by such a goddess, making Linze jealous. Yet, he was obedient and got into his carriage. Now that the soldier had spoken, it was impossible to punish Lynn. Lynn was also so ferocious with his deadly presence that Linze was a little scared of him anyways. Once he got into his carriage, he let a servant deal with his wound.
”I am going to crush his mana value! Just because he became a magician, he will only be at one hundred points! I am going to let him see the gap in our power!” Linze exclaimed.
Lynn and Lucy also went into their carriages, and Lucy wiped his hand.
”You broke the skin,” Lucy said.
”It was tough,” Lynn replied.
”Next time, I am afraid you will be hurt.”
”It is okay.”
After a brief confrontation, Lynn and Linze both quieted down and waited with earnesty. The nobles that were next to them, however, discussed the conflict.
”The loser of the magic value test will have the floor swept out beneath them.”
”I want Lynn to win. He has great strength, and if someone insulted my reputation I would want to act like him.”
”I actually kind of want him to win too, but unfortunately he grew up too late. I heard about him. He is very talented, but since he is a mule he has almost no resources.”
”Well, Lynn is afraid of bad luck. He mastered magic but how could he compare with people who have been training for more than a decade?”
People continued talking and anticipated the two men’s test results.
