Chapter 121 Alfred, Challenges the Duel Again (1)
"I'll say this one last time. Go apologize to Ella."
Alfred gives Brady an ultimatum.
"But, damn it?! Stop being so arrogant, you useless son of a duke. I am Ulysses, the son of a hero! How dare you treat me like this? I will never let you go! I will teach you a lesson!"
Ulysses, who was furious, seemed completely unaware of the murderous intent emanating from Alfred. He kept twisting his body and struggling on the ground, roaring hysterically.
Anger, jealousy and the twisted pride of being the son of a hero.
These emotions mixed together and turned into black mist that overflowed from Brady's body and slowly flowed towards Asmodeus who was lying on the ground in the distance.
(Tsk, I thought this thing was just a replica of a demon, but I didn't expect it to have the same troublesome characteristics as a real demon. So I said, demons are troublesome.)
Alfred couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.
He wondered whether he should just destroy Asmodeus.
But if it were to mess around with Brady, even in the training ground with a protective barrier, innocent students might be affected and seriously injured.
And after that, Alfred would destroy other students' puppets in practical classes without permission, which would cause trouble for Webster.
(In that case...)
Alfred broke off the sleeve of his right hand and threw it hard at Brady's face.
"Since there are no white gloves now, I'll use this thing as a substitute. Feel happy, I'm going to completely crush your disgusting self-esteem."
he declared to Brady.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
There are no classes on Friday afternoons, so students are usually free to arrange their schedules.
So Alfred and Brady decided to set the duel time for this afternoon.
Before heading to the arena, Alfred decided to visit Elaje in the infirmary.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
Elajeer apologized while sitting on the hospital bed.
Although the training ground barrier has been weakened, the curse effect attached to Asmodeus's attack is very powerful.
For safety reasons, Tiffany decided to let Ella stay in the infirmary to rest tonight.
Tiffany will also stay in the infirmary to observe Ella's condition and make sure she is not in any danger.
"Pfft, why are you apologizing to me?"
Alfred asked with a mischievous grin as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"That, that's because of me, Al-san, you had to duel with Ulysses-san... And for me, you even used very expensive special-grade healing medicine."
Ella lowered her head in guilt.
"So that's what you're talking about. It was my own idea to provoke that guy to duel, so Ella, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, we are all classmates in the Norren class, and there are not many people in our class. How could I just sit there and let you be bullied by idiots from other classes?"
Alfred gently touched Ella's head and comforted her.
"Lily and the others are also very angry. They said they wanted to help you vent your anger."
"Hey...thank you all."
"As for the special healing medicine, you don't have to worry about it. After all, we shouldn't leave any scars on girls' bodies. I think it's very happy to be used by a cute girl like you, Ella."
"B-cute... I'm not at all... Well, as for the money, I'll find a way to pay you back later."
Ella hesitated for a long time before finally saying a relatively complete sentence.
"It's all right now. If you really want to repay me, Ella, instead of paying me back, why not treat me to a meal that day that you cooked yourself."
Alfred suggested half-jokingly.
After all, this is a college for aristocratic students, and most of the freshmen don’t know how to cook for themselves.
He originally thought that as time passed, Ella might be able to forget this matter without any guilt.
"Eh? Is this the food I made?"
"Well, being able to eat a meal cooked by a cute girl is an extremely happy thing for a man."
“Is that so… I may not be doing well, but I will try my best.”
Ella lowered her head in shame, and clenched her fists with full energy.
"Since you are fine, I am relieved. The time is almost up, so I won't stay here any longer and won't disturb you, Ella, to rest."
"The time is almost up... Is it the duel with Ulysses-san?"
Ella raised her still red cheeks and looked at Alfred with worried eyes.
"Don't worry about what I say. I will teach him a lesson, and then drag that self-righteous idiot in front of you and make him kowtow to you and apologize."
"Eh... well, there's no need to go that far."
"Meow meow meow~ meow meow meow."
The little black cat, which had been lying on the hospital bed, also meowed to show its presence.
Unlike Elaje, she seemed to be very supportive of Alfred's idea, as if she was encouraging Alfred to just go for it.
"By the way, I haven't introduced this kid to you, Al, before. Her name is Lulu."
"Lulu, huh? What a cute name."
Alfred scratched Lulu's neck and she purred as if she was very comfortable.
"I'll leave Ella in your care."
“Meow~ meow~ meow~”
Lulu patted Alfred's hand with her little paw, as if to express that you are saying something stupid.
(This little guy is also very interesting...)
Alfred couldn't help but laugh.
After saying goodbye to Elajeer, he immediately went to the arena.
At the entrance of the arena, Rose, Cecilia and Louise were waiting for him.
"Junior Al, you have done something really exaggerated again this time. I am very optimistic about you."
Louise said with a mischievous expression.
"Wordsworth... I hope you can act more seriously. Junior Alfred, we have also heard what happened."
Cecilia shrugged helplessly and looked at Alfred.
"Although we understand your feelings, you have gone too far this time. However, since Professor McIlroys does not intend to hold you responsible, our student union will not intervene in this matter without authorization this time."
(The senior must be saying that the student council would turn a blind eye to my teaching Brady a lesson in the practical class.)
Alfred speculated in his mind.
Because there may be students passing by nearby, if outsiders hear it, it may have a bad influence.
That's why Cecilia deliberately used such a roundabout way of speaking.
