George looked at Nadia, who was laughing hysterically.

“Na-Nadia-sama! Why are you cracking up?!”

Fran’s younger brother, George, gritted his teeth in frustration.

He pointed at Lou and spat.

“You bastard! It’s your f-fault! First off, w-why are you with Nadia-sama when you are your sister’s servant?”

Nadia answered George’s question on Lou’s behalf.

“Hahaha, that’s simple. He’s a teacher at my school. He’s also our Student Council advisor.”

But George was not convinced and countered.

“What?! Nadia-sama, your joke has gone too far!”

“A joke? No, it’s all true.”

“Impossible! A beautiful and noble woman like you should never be with such a lowborn!”

But no matter how much George questioned Nadia…

The truth remained that Lou was the advisor of the Student Council…

Nadia was completely unfazed and brought the hard facts to the center.

On the contrary…

Nadia’s eloguence, which shot out like a rapid firing cannon, completely defeated the helpless George.

Finally, the time came to give George the finishing blow.

“And Georges, I even have your sister’s permission.”

“Whaaat! My sister did?!! Guaaaah…”

George finally fell silent when he heard that his sister allowed everything.

The other male students jeered at their classmate’s hapless state.

“Hey, Georges, what’s with that look?

“You’re pathetic! If you can’t pick up even one girl, I’ll do it for you.”

“Tch, damn it! Let’s duel it out!”

Georges was unable to stand the intense criticism of his friends and became desperate. Finally, he lost his temper and challenged out loud.

Lou chuckled when he heard and shrugged.

“Nadia?”

“Huh? What?”

“People in this country are always looking for a duel…”

The image of a furious Giselle popped into her mind as she heard Lou’s words.

“Hahaha,” Nadia chuckled.

Meanwhile, George’s anger reached its peak and he blurted out something outrageous.

“Hey, servant! The winner gets to escort Nadia-sama!”

Nadia was surprised by George’s sudden and arbitrary declaration, so she protested sincerely.

“No, I’m not kidding! I prefer Lou-sensei.”

“Sh-shut up! I just made up my mind!”

Georges refused to listen to her at all.

”Hmph!” Nadia quipped.

Then, with a troubled look on her face, she signaled to Lou with her eyes.

At Nadia’s request, Lou couldn’t let George utter whatever he wanted anymore.

Lou nodded and stepped forward with a shove.

George was caught offguard and retreated.

He didn’t expect Lou, his sister, Fran’s, servant, to stand up to him…

It must have been completely unexpected to him.

There was nothing to it.

George thought that his face and reputation as a nobleman had been destroyed, so he let his momentum get the better of him and just said what popped in his mind.

The battle was already won before it was fought, and everything was only the howling of a loser.

Just then.

“Hey, you brats. You took those girls out without permission. What are you doing?”

Before they knew it, vicious-looking men surrounded them, staring at George and the others sharply.

There were ten of them. ..

“Huh?!”

“E-Eeep!”

“O-Oh, shit!”

The four male students behind George were clearly upset about the disturbing atmosphere.

They seemed to be the children of aristocrats, but like George, they were trying to endure their fears with only vain pretensions.

“W-What the f*ck! Y-You guys?”

One of the male students managed to retort in a trembling voice.

But at that moment, the bearded man who had spoken first slapped him, and he crashed to the ground in a heap.

“Aaah! Do, Donnie.”

George tried to run to the student who was called Donnie.

The women who were with them also shrieked.

“S-Stop it! He’s just a kid.”

The bearded man approached Donnie and kicked him in the leg.

One of the women tried to protect him.

Could she be the bearded man’s mistress? 

The man, however, also kicked the woman in the stomach till she collapsed.

“Lou, Lou-sensei!”

Nadia looked up at Lou with a dependent gaze.

He nodded as if to say he understood, and muttered a few words.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it.”

He then stepped in between the bearded man and George.

“What the hell, man?”

The bearded man threw a scornful look at Lou, who stood in front of him.

But Lou was completely unfazed.

“You have no name to call yourselves.”

Hearing Lou’s words, the men behind the bearded man began to shout.

“You fool!” They castigated.

The bearded man restrained them with a hand, and put on a snarky smile.

“Hey! Don’t dress up like you’re in front of a woman. Take a good look at her before you say anything. Look at the person you’re talking to before you say anything.”

“Haha, I’ll turn those words right back on you. Take a good look at me and say something.”

“Ha? Look at you and speak? You’re out of your mind, you f*cking brat!”

“Beard! He’s a brat. Forgive him and his women.”

When the man looked at him suspiciously, Lou stepped forward aggressively.

Then he smiled calmly and spoke, as he always did.

“I hate men like you. You prey on women, and you’re a violent a-sshole.”

Lou continued pressing forward.

What!

The bearded man backed up a little.

It was apparent that he was overwhelmed by Lou’s inexplicable power.

The bearded man’s hands were fidgeting in his pockets.

He was probably trying to take out a blade or something…

It was clear that they were looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

However!

The man’s hands couldn’t move.

To his surprise, they seemed to have gone stiff and immobile.

“Y-Yo-You bastard?! What did you do?!”

“Fufufufu, do you want to die?”

The corner of Lou’s mouth lifted up in a wink, and a cruel smile was etched around his mouth.

Sweat broke out on the bearded man’s forehead.

Speaking of which…

Recently, there’s been a rumor going around among their circle…

The bearded man seemed to have remembered someone.

“Oh, I remember you! Oh, your dark hair, dark eyes, and tall figure! I’ve heard so much about you.”

“…”

“Y-You don’t say! Are you the bastard who set up the Scorpions?” 

But Lou just smiled and didn’t answer.

“Th-They disappeared, just like smoke. It’s like they’re hiding.”

At that moment, a cold voice echoed in the bearded man’s mind.

It was a Telepathy that called directly to the soul.

『Mmmm, do you guys want to go through the same thing?』

Lou’s eyes narrowed, and the gaze from his jet-black eyes fell on the man as if to shoot him dead.

The bearded man couldn’t even scream and plopped down on the spot.

“Now, who’s next?”

Lou swept a glare around.

But…

Any attempt to rebel against Lou right then never made it to surface.
