Chapitre 18: Distar II
After that, Leon and others left the two nobles discussing between them, all too happy to get away from that torture chamber.
They didn't interacted with anyone else but stood at one corner of the hall, with thier hands full of meal.
But as they were eating suddenly a commotion got thier attention, .
"Ah! Ah! Ah! There's a misunderstanding." The Baronet said to Counts Daughter.
"Are you implying we are both deaf or just stupid? Did you hear what I did too, dear brother?"
"I heard a nasty remark about one of our honoured guests, dear sister."
From the commotion, it seemed this baronet insulted Leon and his siblings leading to Count Lark children enraged about it.
Before things could escalate further, the Marchioness chimed in.
"There, there. It's a party, let's try to be friends and not spoiling the mood."
Her appearance made all heads turn, the chatter instantly stopped.
"Besides, it's so simple to separate the wheat from the chaff. What about a little magic challenge?" The room roared in an applause.
Under the Marchioness lead, the crowd moved outside. The park was already perfectly lit up, since after dinner the party was supposed to move outside, to enjoy the fresh night breeze while drinking properly aged liquors.
She made the two boys stand twenty meters (22 yards) from each other, before explaining the rules.
"This will be a friendly match, so it ends on first blood. Only magic is allowed. I want no underhanded tricks, also seriously harming the opponents is prohibited. A mage without control is no different from a violent drunkard."
Strangely, the Marchioness said that while looking only at Leon, and that pissed him off even further.
"So, just because I'm a commoner, she treats me like a barbarian? So much for losing with grace! Such a hypocrite."
Leon pissed at her words he smiled as he coldly thought ' You want to see control huh, I will show one that you won't even forget in your dreams' .
Lith and others who knew Leon felt bad for his opponent as they saw his smile.
After all they knew just how strong Leon has gotten in last 4 years.
Not only he has cleared 3 more floors of White Obsidian Tower but he also after reaching Cyan Core has learned the the Grimoire he got, the Eldritch Codex of Extinction.
He now basically powerful enough to even defeat Protector on his own, much less this pampered Noble Kid.
"I'll be the judge. If I say stop, you better stop." Fuel was added to the fire.
"Begin!"
She signalled the noble kid started chanting while forming hand signs, he was so slow that Leon just tinted his head and said calmly " Kneel"
He kneeled as if someone put a whole mountain on him.
"Leon of Lutia wins!"
The crowd was surprised, a murmur started spreading like wildfire.
"Why did she stop the match so suddenly?" Everyone asked.
The answer they got in the form of unconscious Noble Kid.
Defeating him so easily he looked at Distar with clear mockery in his eyes.
Distar blinked and the mockery was replaced by hunger for praise, she frowning thought inwardly ' was that my imagination?'
' damm it almost lost my emotions ' Leon on the other hand sighed in relief seeing her confused rather angry.
A small girl quickly rushed to the Marchioness, making a perfect bow to her while whispering something, her face all smiles and pleasantries.
She was so petite to appear ageless to Leon. She could be eight years or thirteen years old, he couldn't tell. She was definitely flat as a board, with gold blonde hair with shades of red. Her dress had gemstones the size of an acorn embroidered into it.
"Leon, this is Minnea Tristarm, daughter of the Viscount Tristarm. Minnea, this is Leon from Lutia."
"Nice to meet you." The girl performed a barely noticeable curtsy.
Leon merely nodded, not even bothering to show her the slightest bit of courtesy.
As expected, she got pissed off at his attitude. "You don't even have any manners," she said with a mocking gaze.
Without even looking at her, Leon mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear, "Respect is expensive. Cheap people can't afford it."
It was unclear whether he was talking about himself or her, but his reply silenced everyone. Before the matter could escalate, Distar intervened.
"Minnea was really impressed by your feat and would like to challenge you to a different kind of competition."
"It would be an honor to perform for her Grace. My father had tried for so long to get an audience with your Ladyship."
"Obnoxious brat!" Leon thought. "She has been watching the Marchioness the whole time, speaking like I'm not even here. You are in for a surprise."
Before the set could be arranged, Leon said " I am not interested in this competition "
His words got Count Lark to sweat like bullets.
" Dear Leon, showing your talent will surely get you backup of Marchioness here, and this in turn will increase your chances of admission in any Academy" He said anxiously.
" Really? Then I am right to decline this, an Academy that admits based on background, I can already imagine what kind of place it is" Leon said and then began to leave.
Marchioness frowned but she didn't stop him just observed.
Lith frowned but he understood Leon anger as even after defeating Distar twice she still didn't acknowledges Leon, So Leon even now doesn't want to perform like a monkey.
" I stand corrected you don't even have guts to accept my challenge atop of being a manner less dirty commoner" Minnea said crossing her hands.
Leon didnt mind her words as he kept moving,
" My Lady, what do you even accepted from bunch Dogs and thier children " she said while smiling fawnlingly to Distar.
Leon this time stopped in his tracks, his mana fell all over the place, causing everyone to step back , while Minnea who was on the receiving end of it was already on the ground sitting in the puddle of her own leakage.
" I too stand corrected, given the way you all think, Academy seemed more shittier to me now" Leon said and then took back his Mana pressure.
Leon then bowed to Count Lark and said " Forgive me Count Lark but i am not here to perform like a monkey" Saying so he jumped off the balcony and started flying back.
Seeing him flying many exclaimed as flying is Tier 2 spell.
Marchioness kept looking at Leon back, Count Lark approaches her and wiping his sweat he said " Forgive him Marchioness Distar, he is just a kid"
Marchioness nodded and then after some more time party came to an end.
Back at Leon house.
Leon laying on the rooftop, turned his head as he saw Lith appearing " Was it necessary? " He asked sitting near him.
" Maybe, Maybe not" Leon replied still gazing at Morgar Moon.
Lith sighed and then stood up as he said " You should learn to control your emotions, don't wear your heart on your face or people would take advantage of it" Saying so he left.
Leon smiles slightly as he heard him " Haah, it seems even he wasn't able to see through my intentions "
" Oh! Really then what is your intention exactly" Luna materialising in her fairy form and sitting atop his stomach asked curiously.
" It is as simple as it could be, I just don't want to enter the Academy " Leon shrugs and says.
" Why though? " She asked.
" It doesn't matter much to me, not to mention, the Academy records all the spells students uses in it" Leon replied.
Luna nodded and then both fell silent as they calmly gazed at the Morgar Moon.
***
Few Days later now all four siblings are going towards the Lighting Griffon Academy along with Count Lark.
Leon insisted many times but he lost to Count Lark who was as immovable as Mountain in his decision to send Leon to academy.
' This Shitty thing' Leon thought.
Luna noticing Leon grumpy mood try to help him feel better, ' Maybe it isn't as bad as you think? '
' yes, it can be worse' He replied.
Luna shook her head and calmly sits on bis shoulder taking in the outside view.
While Leon checked his Status Screen after a long Time.
