"Stop! Young man, why are you doing this?" Lord Kazo interfered.
"Why am I doing this? Because I need things from you," Lander said casually as he prepared his stance.
"What things do you need?" Lord Kazo asked.
Seeing that they were still looking at him, "You don't want to fight me? You guys suck!" Lander ridiculed smirking.
"You!!!" The Three Great Beauties were angered and was about to take actions but Lord Kazo flicked his hand and suddenly, the three weren't able to move.
"Lord Kazo, what's the meaning of this?" Barbara asked gritting her teeth.
"I invited you to my place to talk, not to cause trouble. Young man tell me, what are the things you need?" Lord Kazo said releasing his overbearing pressure.
Lander felt danger and was alarmed. But he never backed down as he showed his strength resisting the aura of Lord Kazo. Unlike the Three Beauties who became pale. Some of the maids became unconscious, the guard and the woman limped down.
Yan Yan and Grey was also suppressing the pressure while Elizaveta cowered in fear limping down.
Lord Kazo was amazed to see Lander resisting his aura, but became incredulous when he saw Yan Yan and Grey resisting this kind of pressure. Although he didn't fully brought out his hundred percent aura, but this kind of pressure was something not even the best of the students of the Wyvern Academy could withstand, "How could this be?"
While withstanding the pressure of Lord Kazo's aura, he spoke with difficulty, "Did... you... really think... I... offered you... free meals ...and I ...got nothing? Did ...you really think it's that... easy to create such delicacies?"
"So you stole things from us a payment?" Lord Kazo asked as he released his aura freeing the people from the pressure.
Lander shook his head as he raised his head with pride, "I didn't steal it. I borrowed it. Borrowed without asking."
"And the things I borrowed is an assurance," Lander continued winking.
"What do you mean assurance?" Barbara was really annoyed.
"Assurance that you would give me what I wanted before returning your borrowed things," Lander simply replied.
"So what do you want?" Barbara asked.
"You!" Lander said seriously.
All of them never expected such an answer and when they were about to scold him Lander laughed so hard that made them bewildered, "I was just joking! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!"
"Although you have a godly beauty. You're not my type!" Lander said still laughing.
"Audacious!" Barbara was really pissed. "How dare an outcast say that I'm not his type? Who do you think you are? You don't even have the looks."
Lander was hurt when Barbara said he doesn't have the looks. Who wouldn't be offended when they tell you don't have the looks. But he shook it out of his mind. He still needed a lot of informations.
"STOP!" Lord Kazo was now pissed and his aura once again erupted, this time it was even stronger. The Three Great Beauties crouched down gritting their teeth. The guard, the woman, Elizaveta, Yan Yan and Grey were now unconscious.
Lander also crouched down as he endured, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. Lander remembered this kind of pressure when he was on Earth. He remembered his training days with his master in which he has to endure the pressure of a waterfall. He nearly lost his life several times in this harsh training.
But his master urged him to dive back and try to resist the pressure to overcome his stamina. But he failed a lot of times and never succeeded.
Now, in this world, he again felt this kind of pressure. This time, he was determinedbto train in this kind of pressure.
He was trying to stand up when the pressure was gone, "What happened? Why did you stop elder?"
"I don't want to hurt you and them because I might be implicated," Lord Kazo replied pointing at the three who were panting heavily.
"No! No! Let's do it again." Lander said with desperation.
"My aura is not something you could withstand young man. You'll only get yourself killed. Although I applaud you for your tenacity being able to endure my aura despite being an outcast," Lord Kazo replied smiling. He was full of appreciation towards Lander.
The Three Great Beauties calmly stood up and faced Lander. They couldn't believe that they were defeated by an outcast despite using their own auras to counter Lord Kazo's aura and yet they still limped down unable to move while Lander was trying his hardest to stood up. They were clenching their fists but they have to accept the reality.
"So? The things you need?" Lord Kazo asked. Money was not a problem to him but he was afraid that Lander wouldn't return the things of the Three Great Beauties and that would cause him punishment or worst stripped of his position.
Lander pondered for a while with his index finger on his chin. Then he smiled brightly, "I need 4 things from the four of you."
"Say it!" Sung-min said agitated. The cheerful looks on her face was now gone as she can't endure the thought of being defeated by an outcast.
"Since you badly want to know, I need informations about the Centennial Ceremony and how to become a student in the Academy?" Lander said smiling at Sung-min.
"An outcast can't enter the Academy," Sung-min replied.
"Since you don't want your bracelet back. I guess I won't have to return it," Lander said casually as he took out the bracelet waving it in front for a second, then he kept it again.
Seeing this, Sung-min was now annoyed, "Fine! If you want to enter the Academy then there will be a competition 6 days from now where in almost everyone can join." Sung-min replied looking at Lander now with disdain. Apparently, she knew that Lander would be ridiculed and insulted if he ever joins.
Then Sung-min told him what he wanted to do. There was no rule that an outcast could join. It was just that outcasts were banned from using magic that they weren't privileged to join. She also told him stories about outcasts who tried to enter. Some died during the competition, some injured for lifetime and some can't bear the insults and disgraced that they quitted.
Another information she released was that he has to have a mount because the first event would be running where in the master would ride their mounts. Also, he needed to have a messenger beast and a pet.
Lander pondered and thought. Apparently Grey wasn't considered a mount because he can't ride on him so he has still time to find a mount, messenger beast and a pet he can use during the competition.
Another one she informed was that only a hundreds of people can be accepted as a student to be picked up by the different academy heads.
He then passed the bracelet to Sung-min, "Thank you!"
Actually, Sung-min didn't disclose every informations she knew.
Then Lander stared at Aria, "Then I need you to give me books everything related to mount, beasts and pet. You have two hours to give it to me."
He turned to Barbara as he smiled maliciously, "As for you? I want you in my bed tonight."
All of them were stunned with a single thought in their minds, "Pervert!"
"I won't do it, give me another one," Barbara said with disdain.
"It's your loss baby!" Lander said smiling as he thought for a while, "Oh yeah, I remembered. Give me all the informations you knew about souls."
Aria left the manor to get all the books Lander asked while the others stayed drinking tea as Barbara explained to him things regarding about souls.
The others who were unconscious also regained their senses when Aria took off. They were sweating remembering what happened, fear was apparent on their faces. Even Yan Yan and Grey.
Elizaveta on the other hand was now regretting being with Lander. Although she knew that Lander could teach her martial arts, but if he kept on provoking people then their lives would be even more threatened, she don't want that so she was considering to stay with Lander or not.
Having a weak mind, Elizaveta decided to interrupt their conversation, "Excuse me if I interrupted but Lander I want to talk to you for a while."
"Say it," Lander said uninterested.
"But..." She wanted to talk to Lander alone but was interrupted.
"Just say it," Lander casually said.
"Then I want to thank you for teaching me martial arts but I'm afraid I have to leave your side and go back to my village," Elizaveta said earnestly.
"Is that so? Then, I don't mind. Where were we again?" Lander said not the least bothered as he focused his attention again towards Barbara's explanations.
Seeing how Lander's non-bothered behaviour, Elizaveta felt crying as she knew that Lander has really no interest in her. And everything that happened to them that morning were all just an uncontrolled lust.
