Chapter 200: Together with Sol

"M-My lor-, ahem! Eman."

With a bright smile, Sol screamed when she saw him in front of the door.

Eman just smiled. "Let's go?" He asked right away. Sol did not say anything as she followed him after a nod. But a delighted expression was on her face.

The two of them went to the nearest pub.

"How's the Academy?" Eman asked after taking a seat.

"Uh, everything's fine. But there are many inse--"

'Wait, did she just about call them insects?' Eman thought.

He wasn't bothered by it. However, he noticed Sol stopped her word before speaking it. 

"I mean little puppies who tried to bite me, so I punished them," said Sol. Seeing the troubled expression of the person in front of her, "Uh, err… but don't worry, it was a legal punishment…"

"....."

'What is that supposed to mean?' Eman asked himself, though he didn't voice it out. But he had a gist of what she truly meant by it. "A legal punishment, huh. "Do you mean a duel?" He asked.

"Yes, yes!" Sol nodded her head.

He wondered who was the idiot who picked a fight with Sol. They probably thought she was an easy target. Perhaps they tried to bully her. But it was futile, she wasn't a normal person.

Hearing the word 'legal', she probably meant a duel. "Fufu, that's good."

"Regardless, did you enjoy the academy?"

He asked her.

"Ah, not particularly, but I didn't dislike it. Though I hope we are in the same class."

Eman just smiled. "Well, we can't do anything about it since it was one of the academy's rules."

The two of them weren't talking about important things. It was just a leisure day that Eman wanted to waste with Sol.

"By the way, E-Eman…" no matter how long or how many times, it was still hard for her to call him by his name. Eman just waited for Sol to finish her words. "Will you come to the academy tomorrow?" She asked.

Seeing his nod, a delighted smile appeared on her face.

"How about your mission?"

"Well, it's a success."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Then, you won't go away anymore?"

"Yeah."

Eman noticed Sol's questioning one after another. At least there was a slight change in her personality. He thought she acted more human now unlike before.

After his nod, her mouth broke into a wide smile. He stopped for a moment when he noticed her using a fork instead of her usual hand when eating. 'So, she was learning pretty fast, huh.' He was happy for this subtle change of Sol. 'Even the way she ate was also controlled now and very ladylike.'

'In addition to her appearance, she finally looked like a proper noble.' Eman secretly sighed in relief and smile at her development. At least, sending her to the academy was not in vain. 

Eman was only wearing casual clothes. On the contrary, Sol was wearing an expensive-looking dress. He made sure that she would look like a noble. So, Eman purchased expensive dresses for her. He had a reason for doing it. Oddly, he felt like he was becoming like a doting father to her.

Money wasn't a problem to him. But even though he had so much at the moment, he was still stingy in spending his money on some commodities.

Especially that he had no proper source of income at the moment. He needed to be careful if he didn't want to become broke in this world.

Also, he had so many subordinates to feed. So Eman was careful in spending his money.

Around them, he noticed some curious gazes directed at them. Eman chose to ignore it and casually took a bite on a piece of sausage.

When he was about to take another bite, he stopped eating as he noticed a presence behind him.

Sol, on the other hand, remained calm as she was sipping her tea. 

If there was another thing admirable to her except her appearance, it was her disposition. He secretly admired this trait of hers. She wasn't the type who barked unreasonably when something was amiss around her. She remained calm and observant, he didn't even need to teach her about it. This was her innate trait. This bearing of her made her look so cool. But on second thought, he noticed her killing intent was overflowing from her. She wasn't truly calm. In fact, she was barely holding herself.

"Ahem!" Eman cleared his throat to dispel the pressure from her killing intent.

Although she took back her killing intent, it didn't dispel the twitch on her brow. Eman's mouth broke into a voiceless laugh as he whispered the word 'good grief'.

A second later, he heard a voice in his mind. "My lord, give me permission to squash these insects," she used telepathy. He almost fell on his seat. He wanted to take back all that he said about her. She didn't change at all! He screamed in mind.

Eman chuckled inwardly. "No. Let me handle them," he replied through telepathy as well. 

"Hehe!" They heard a chuckle from behind him.

"What do you want?" Eman asked as his eye glanced towards his back. He saw three men standing behind him.

"Hey, Lady, what is your name?" The man in the middle who was wearing a neat suit asked Sol, ignoring Eman.

"Go away," Eman warned in a nonchalant voice. Seeing the man's attire, he guessed this person was a son of a wealthy person. With him must be his bodyguards or perhaps his helpers.

'Shut up, we don't have business with you, peasants!" answered the neat-suited man in the middle.

"....."

Eman made a sudden push on his chair which caused a disturbing creaking noise. But aside from it, the man behind was hit by his chair and stumbled on the floor in a dull sound. 

"Damn! Are you seeking to die?" Yelled the neat-suited man.

"....."

He did not reply. There was only a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Hey man, you must be aware of what you did," one of the two people along with the neat-suited man told him in a cold voice while at the same time, cracking noises came out from twisting his fingers and neck.

"Yes, I am fully aware," he said with a mocking grin.

"Ugh, beat him!" Shouted the neat-suited man.

The two bodyguards summoned their magical aura on their bodies and went to attack him.

Fwoosh! Fwoosh! He evaded the enemy's combination of punches.

"Man, you have no idea who you're making an enemy to!" Said one of the men while throwing another glowing punch to Eman.

But before the punch landed on him, a kick came faster from it. Eman's kick landed on the person's guts.
