Bab 78: D Rank Aura?

As Kardama entered the shop, his face twisted with rage, his lips moving rapidly as he unleashed a torrent of curses under his breath. Observing the scene, onlookers caught fragments of his muttered invective: "Arrogant little..." "Who do they think they are?" "Disrespectful brats..."

Damian couldn't help but feel a twinge of confusion as he overheard Kardama's muttered insults. 'But we're the same age,' he mused silently.

Dark Fang stumbled over his words, his usual confidence shaken by Kardama's unexpected outburst. "Umm... this is... ummm... the thing is..." he stammered, struggling to articulate a coherent response.

In that moment, Dark Fang's remaining lackey interjected, "Dark Fang! He's no senior. Don't be fooled. He's the current rank 1 of the 1st year."

Dark Fang's face twisted into a mix of surprise, disbelief, and embarrassment. He stuttered, his words faltering as he struggled to comprehend the revelation.
