Axel entered the horse carriage and the carriage going to his destination. As he sat on the carriage, he watched the sceneries from the window. He felt curious as it was his first time to go outside after reawakened in new life. He watched as the peasants walk beside the roads with common rough clothes. He saw hawkers shout as they call the customers. He saw commonly seen buildings in every fantasy novels: blacksmiths, clothes shop, alchemist guild, Merchants guild, warriors guild etc.
Finally, he saw his destination, the famous restaurant in Anson territory. As he entered the restaurant, he saw the bustling crowds talking and laughing as the music was heard at the background. As a noble, the ground floor where peasants dine is quite lowly for him and he went to the highest floor where the nobles, merchants dine-in peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
The waiter guides him to the private room as he was one of the regular customers. Of course, besides regular, he was quite a troublesome one too. As he entered, he saw his best friend Ren Benjamin drinking Alcohol as he enjoyed the service of the ladies beside him. The scene was not surprising as the former he was like that too. Except that he now knows his dream as he takes his baby steps to his goal. After the rebirth, he fully accepted the identity of Axel Anson, mage apprentice. Even the former Axel's actions and experiences.
"Axel, you are here"
"How's the taste of punishment? Ho ho "
"Just one week banned in my own room"
Ren lightly joked and Axel answered back the question as he too asks his friend's punishment.
"How's yours?"
"Don't talk about it man.. That old man actually sent his own son, me to the barren land and I had to train there lifting stones those slaves do! It was one of the worst punishments I have received!"
Ren speaks with a bitter tone as he remembers the tortures he went through there and felt a shiver run down his spine.
"I am quite fortunate it seems"
Axel smirk as he picks up the drink and sat down. Ren looks at him with a look saying 'lucky bastard".
"Bastard.. your friend, I had gone through so much trouble and you didn't even comfort me. How sad!"
Ren speaks with a mocking tone as Axel's smug face twitch a bit.
"Alright alright. You are indeed a good brother."
Axel speaks blandly as Ren looks sarcastically at him.
"No one will believe in your sincerity ..."
Ren talks sarcastically as he drinks and flirts with a beautiful lady beside him a bit.
"You are lucky you have a brother like me"
Indeed both Ren and Axel had a wild fun party with a group of ladies and they were too rambunctious. That day, it seems they have bad luck. The room beside them, their fathers are talking official business with other nobles. They found out their sons are the room next to them and very much high and wild. They lost so much face that day and they, of course, punish them.
Both continue to drink and finally, Ren notices the change in Axel.
"Fuck dude! You look, sissy!"
"Fuck off! What do you mean sissy! This is called charming. Do you know this father's face can attract and charm the mature and seductive ladies"
"Bluh"
Ren's face looks like he was about to vomit hearing Axel's words.
Axel rolled his eyes looking at the exaggerated reaction to his words.
As they were talking, the door of the private room was kicked open. Both look at the people who kicked open the door as the people entered the room with presumptuous and arrogant looks.
'Am I about to experience the clingy scenes of face slapping young masters?'
Axel looks at them with a poker face as Ren looks like he was about to erupt.
"Oh my young masters Ren and Axel, I heard you gentlemen had a joyous party a week before?"
The leading young noble, Bolt Nexen spoke with a sarcastic tone. Obviously, these people come to mock them after they were lifted from punishment. (A.N-- Axel was only punished for trying to ogle Alina, not this party. It was just a coincidence. After the party, the high Axel wanted to... Well yea know the rest~)
Ren was a hot-headed person and he looks like he was about to punch the man in front of them. The ladies beside them had already scattered when they saw them coming to cause problems. They are just lowly people and they can't take the blame if someone in the group got hurt. After all, they all are aristocrats.
Axel put the hand in front of Ren and try to stop when he saw Ren was about to stand up to curse and punch them with a look saying 'I will handle it'.
"Oh my young master Bolt, I heard that you can shot a 3 seconds bolt"
Axel laid back on the chair comfortably with a smirk saying 'Do you know what I am talking about?'.
"As we are not too good, we can only have fun with those ten ladies. I heard you are quite loyal to the lady. Umm, what is the name again? I forgot."
Bolt Nexen face turned red then blue then purple hearing one of the most humiliating events in his life. He was making out with a noble lady and because of the excitement, he shot only in a minute. The noble lady mocked him that the intercourse with him felt like shit and left.
The noble lady was high and he can't do anything on her. Somehow, the news spread and he was named '3 seconds bolt'.
The lackeys behind him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Ren, of course, did not care as he laughs loudly so much so that he falls from the chair. Axel looks at Bolt with a smirk.
"There's a door behind you young master Bolt. I hope you have a good time with the ladies here. I think they won't be mad even if you are '3 seconds bolt'."
The people who seek drama are surrounding the room and heard it. They wouldn't laugh out loud. But their eyes are laughing and Bolt felt greatly humiliated.
"You...you! We shall meet again and the next time, I will kill you."
Bolt said angrily and left with his lackeys in his tow.
Axel's smirk turned a little cold. His eyes look like he was having fun. But deep down, there's only coldness and calmness.
"Nice one Axel! Haha, I have such a nice time here."
Ren looks tired after all those laughing. The crowd already left after seeing the drama was finished and the two talks a bit more and returned to their estates.
'I need to practice my spell and after that, I will train the footwork I trained at my previous world.'
Axel make plans for the next week as he sat on the carriage to return home.
