Hail your New King

After a few hours of wait. They've finally arrived...

All of the Noble Families were present. Namely;

The Verre Family, led by Bernard Verre. A man with an unshaved beard that looks like still in his 50s,

The Kryx Family, led by Kris Kryx, a young looking man with a noticeable pale complexion.

The Regan Family, led by Gregor Regan, a fiery man with an unkempt long crimson hair.

The Gerrd Family, led by Gerrard Gerrd, a fat man. Very fat. Wearing merchant clothes.

The Larc Family, led by Kris Larc, a man with shining emerald green eyes. And lastly,

The Bastier Family. led by the General, Dalton Bastier.

As per my request, only the Heads of each families were present. No other family members, companions nor guards...

"King Deyran! What is the reason of this!?"

The King was still on the ground. Unable to move.

"How come you're on the ground while some unknown person is sitting on the throne!? Are you betraying your people!? Do you know what would happen if this goes out on public!?"

As expected, some saw this as a chance to ridicule the ridicule and threatened the helpless King to the point that it became too annoying for me.

"Ahem! Gentlemen (?) I suggest that you shut your mouths before you regret it. Let's maintain silence shall we?"

I calmly asked.

"You shut up Brat! Who are you!? Why are sitting on the throne!? This is blasphemy against the 'Beast God'!!"

Take note that the noisiest one among here was 'Gerrard Gerrd'. The family head of the 'Gerrd' Family.

The other attendees were talking to themselves.

"For future reference, what's the 'Beast God'?"

I asked with the purpose of annoying the Gerrd guy even more.

And it was successful...

"Y-you!!! You wear the uniform of 'Farco Academy' yet you don't know the identity of our 'Beast God'?"

"Mhm, I don't."

Smirk.

"Khuk! Fine, I shall enlighten you. The 'Beast God' is a bei-"

"-- I'm interested but that's not what I'm here for so..."

"SHUT UP."

And he shuts up. He was angry of course but as much as he opens his mouth, no words could escape. It was a useless struggle.

The poor guy rushed towards me and attempted to punch the great me.

The complexion of my first victims were blue as they watched their acquaintance rush towards his doom.

"DANCE LIKE A PRINCESS UNTIL THE DISCUSSION IS DONE..."

This command was aimed at Gerrard.

"Now, gentlemen... SIT DOWN AND LISTEN..."

They all followed my commands.

"The reason you are gathered here is because I want this country to send reinforcements to aid the Elves' against their ear against the demons of Mount Lyr."

"P-please wait a moment! The Beast Country and the Elves Forest has no connection or so whatsoever! Our armed forces are incomparable to theirs too. There are no merits in us if we do as you say. There's no reason to do this at all!"

I think he was the head of 'Regan Family' since he had Crimson red hair just like Teacher Jane's.

After hearing the 'Regan's complaint, the king sighed...

"Stop Edward. Let's not make him mad."

Hoho. This old man really knows his stuff.

"I already agreed to send reinforcements."

"B-but your majesty, there's no merit-"

"Merit you ask? The merit itself is that we get to see tomorrow as one of the living not as a corpse."

The head of the 'Regan Family', Edward Regan, did not continue to argue.

"H-however, O' Powerful One, you have to swear to be our guardian if you want us to send reinforcements to the elves."

I wrinkled my eyebrows...

Why should I do something as annoying as that? But wait, if I want to face off against that damned father of mine, I need these guys' help to locate him easily.

And with that thought in mind, I stated my own conditions.

"Now that you mention it... If you have conditions too then so am I."

"... Eh?"

The people present inside the Throne room swallowed their salivas in anticipation for their doom.

"I shall be this country's King. And so, I shall protect your lowly lives. Rejoice!"

They were speechless. They were dumbstruck. They were punched by the almighty boxing champion of the world...

"Wait...Nevermind. Your King is still Deyran Farco. All I want is this country to be mine. I don't want a mere King's title. Agree?"

Well, their opinions don't really matter since I can just force them to do my bidding but that would make me a villain. And I don't want to be someone like that fuxking father...

The King looked at his people and everyone answered him with a nod.

"O' Powerful One, we shall serve you with our utmost effort from now on."

And that's how I obtained a country in a single night.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Send the reinforcements right now ASAP!"

-----

The next day, in the palace...

The King, Deyran, and the General, Dalton, were talking in private inside the King's Quarters.

"What now? Your majesty..."

The General troublingly asked the King who was sitting on a chair with a desk full of documents in front.

"What can we do? In front of that young man, we are mere ants... helplessly crawling on the ground, just to be stepped on."

Deyran drooped his face.

"How about we hire that clan?"

After hearing Dalton's suggestion, Deyran instantly turned his face to Dalton, wearing a shocked expression.

"Assassination?"

"... No, not assassination but clarification. We're just gonna hire them to assess that young man's strength and check his background."

After staring at each other for a short while, Deyran smiled.

"I leave this to you, General Dalton."

-----

A week later, in the school grounds...

Unlike Karin who was as lazy as a sloth, I participated in classes actively...

People were shocked at first but they got used to my change after a week.

In this single week I obtained quite a lot of knowledge. One of the many knowledge I obtained was about aura.

[Aura]

Aura is the body's internal energy. It is mainly used in combat since it strengthens everything it envelops. If it is not controlled, it will destroy the holder's body in an instant.

The Strength of One's aura is determined by it's color. The darker the color, the stronger it is. The stages are from White - Yellow - Orange - Red - Dark Red - Purple - Dark Purple - Black. The black aura on the other hand, is being reevaluated since it has been more than a millenia since the last 'Black Aura Holder'.

The strongest aura currently know is Dark Purple.

Aura can be strengthened in two ways. 1. Meditation, and 2. Near death experiences.

[Vessel]

The Vessel is the imaginary container in every living being. It contains the aura inside the body and prevents it from running rampant.

The Vessel signifies the limits on how much aura one can possess. If the Vessel widens, then so will the amount of Aura one can possess.

These two are the ones that caught my attention in the past lectures...

Now I know that I am the strongest...

"The Academy's 'Founding Anniversary' will be on next month..."

Today was the announcing of the school competitions and all students were gathered.

"As usual, every student will participate in the school competitions. There are no exemptions."

An old man was talking in front of the whole school body. Behind him were the teachers, standing under the heat of the sun.

I can't gauge his strength... I guess that just shows that he's pretty strong.

"The school competitions will last for 7 days. On the 7th day, the annual tournament where your skills may get recognized by adventurer guilds and clans... Or maybe the Royal Family themselves will recognize your skills and talents."

This old man was the Academy's Dean.

After the long lecture, they opened the training grounds to let the students train for the upcoming competitions.

I headed back to class room but was interrupted by two familiar faces.

"Hey... Karin... Won't you help us practice our skills in the training grounds?"

It was bully no. 1 speaking. And bully no. 2 was hysterically laughing while hanging his arm on bully no. 1's shoulders.

Haha... these bastards... unfortunately for them, Karin is no longer...

Should I show off a little?
