Chapter 101: Scum High Noble

"Who's not mind about it?" said Jayna who is approaching them.

"Ahh.. Afternoon, Jayna." said Angus as nothing happened.

"You said something behind my back, right?" asked Jayna grumpily.

"Really?? I don't remember anything about it." replied Angus lazily.

"Grr… " as Jayna ready to punch Angus who is blatantly lying in front of her.

"Hold up…" said Angus before Jayna pounced on him.

"Did you forget about what we talked about before?" asked Angus

"What did we talk about before?" asked Jayna back.

"About that one." said Angus

"Emm… Huft…" as Jayna closes her eyes and uses [Heart of Perseverance] to calm her agitated mind.

While Jayna calms her mind, the other two girls are surprised at Jayna's reaction. Normally, Jayna will immediately launch an attack towards Angus while Angus is trying to run away. 

However, this time the famous short-tempered Fourth Princess listened to Angus and tried to calm down her mood.

After Jayna calmed down, "Alright, anyway Jayna can I ask you a favor?" asked Angus nonchalantly.

"Favor? What is it?" asked Jayna.

"It's for Millie. Currently, she is having trouble with the upperclassmen. Can you help her a little bit?" said Angus

Jayna immediately looks at Millie, "E-Eh… No, Fourth Princess. This is just some unimportant stuff." said Millie hurriedly.

"Hmph… Don't worry about it. Just tell me your problem." said Jayna.

"B-But…" said Millie before being interrupted.

"Come on, Just tell me your problem. I guess it's about stupid vulgar boys." said Jayna.

"Ehh.. How did you also know?" said Millie.

"Of course, with your reputation. You will have trouble with this sooner or later." said Jayna.

Normally, a girl in Jayna's age will envy a pretty and popular girl like Millie. However, Jayna herself is too busy to be getting stronger to think about this stuff. 

Although she is royalty with high pride, she actually could tolerate these things and only focus on getting stronger. This is also the reason why she always challenges Angus before. 

For her to not land a single hit on Angus is making her feel weak. However, after looking at the bout of Angus with her master, she feels that Angus is truly an enigma and couldn't be thought of with normal common sense.

Because of this, she didn't have any choice to ask Angus to help her and become meek in front of him. One of Angus's requests is to control her emotion and not be easily agitated. 

Her [Possession] state makes her mind, body, and soul unbalanced that leads her to get easily agitated.

The more she is getting too emotional, the more her body becomes unbalanced. It is also harder for her to control her own body and mana. 

As long as she can't control her body and mana properly, Angus can't do anything to help her. So, the first thing she needs to do is to control and calm her easily agitated mind. 

Then, Millie begins to tell her story about her predicament to Jayna. While the girls are having their girls talk, Angus goes back to read his book.

At first, Angus wanted to focus on the book while enjoying the sun that began setting slowly. But, he couldn't help hearing the girls talk using his enhanced senses.

Millie is getting entangled with a high noble scum. This high noble scum is named Taul Burgess son of Marquis Burgess. Taul is famous for being a playboy scum that already does many deeds with many women.

In Firuman, a human becomes a legal adult after the age of fifteen right after puberty. However, Taul has already done many kinds of immoral deeds even before he reaches the age of fifteen.

He only escaped from the law because of his high noble status, But now he targets Millie who is currently famous inside the academy. Although he couldn't touch Millie as she was also a noble, he still self-proclaimed himself as Millie's girlfriend.

At first, she ignores Taul. However, every boy that tries to converse or tries to get close to her is getting beaten up the next day by him or his lackey. The situation is getting worse when Taul is getting more clingy towards Millie.

If it is another adult woman that seems fine even if it is an inappropriate act, but Millie is still an underage girl. Angus who heard this couldn't help but feel a little bit angry. Touching an underage girl is a crime no matter what.

Even though Angus knows that in this world there are no such laws because of different cultures. But, touching an underage girl is a different matter. This is like inhibiting someone's future. This kind of activity is the worst for Angus.

Hearing this story even Jayna couldn't keep her calm and wanted to kill this Taul guy. If he is not a high noble, Jayna will send a person to eliminate this guy.

"Tch.. what a wastrel.. Alright, Millie. You are not going to worry about this anymore. Just tell me when he is trying to harass you again. I will beat him into a pulp." said Jayna proudly.

Hearing this, 'I hope nothing will happen from this.' thought Angus worriedly.

As someone who is learning about the noble's society, Angus knows that dealing against high nobility such as Marquish titles is quite troublesome even for Royalties.

Unless it is related to serious matters about the kingdom. The high nobles usually have a certain law immunity. The higher their rank, the higher their law immunity. Because of this, even royalties are having difficulty punishing high noblemen over small matters like this.

'Well, if something goes wrong, I will just handle it before it escalates further.' thought Angus inwardly while back focussing at his book.

From what he has read so far, Archmage Bern's biography is actually like a fairy tale. He is born from the commoner class society. His parents are farmers that barely enough to support their everyday life.

He only gets lucky to learn magic from the local merchant who happens to have spellbooks. Then, he enters a normal academy for the commoner and his talent begins to shine in there. 

His talent at magic and alchemy keeps growth further. From then on, he became the apprentice of the academy headmaster and formed his mana core at the age of 13.

Just by using his calculation ability, he managed to simplify many complicated spells and reduce their time to cast over them. From here, he created a transmutation technique that helps them using other elements.

Although this technique seems simple, not everyone could use this technique as it required a fast calculation mind. Then, his legend began to spread further when he reached the sixth grade.

According to the book, when he reached sixth grade he already mastered many kinds of elements and hundreds of spells. He could even copy a spell just by looking over it at once.

His talent in alchemy is also not lost with his talent as a magician. As an Alchemist he found a lot of new elements and potions. He was also the first person that could transmute a lot of elements into new elements.

This new element he found is always better than the founded element. Because of this, he could be called the father of alchemy despite being a human race. Moreover, he also created many techniques for casting spells and concocting potions.

One of the most famous potions he created is the Mana Zone potion. A potion that creates a sense of mana inside a certain area. By using this potion, the combatant inside will have their mana regeneration increase and could utilize more spells or skills.

Soon, the night came. The girls are already going inside the dorm to rest while Angus keeps engrossing reading his book to pass his time inside the garden. After a while, Angus goes inside the dorm.

Inside the dorm, Angus hears another commotion from the dining area. Ian once again was stubborn and challenged Jayna in a fight. On the contrary to her normal behavior, she kept ignoring him while waiting for her dinner to come.

"Hmph… Jayna, don't ignore me?! I will beat you later." said Ian.

However, Jayna kept ignoring him like didn't see him at all. At this moment, Angus comes into the dining area and sits next to Jayna.

"Jayna, what's the menu for dinner?" asked Angus.

"It's a hamburger steak." replied Jayna shortly.

"Hamburger steak?! It's been a long time since we have that. Right, Millie?" said Angus.

"Ehh.. Y-Yeah.." said Millie as she was surprised at being suddenly called out.

"Angus, don't talk to Millie casually!!" said Mia

In the meantime, Angus converse with the girls, the other two boys are completely being ignored. Feeling ignored, Ian couldn't help but be grumpy inside. While Axel already used to be ignored by others.

After the hearty dinner, Angus went back to his room to do his secret training. He summoned his system panel and chose a manual battle system.

Today he planned to practice his spell and his casting speed. He believed that his mind was already capable of using transmutation techniques.
