For a few seconds, Julian stood without motion. On his face, shock and disbelief were mixed with fury, indignation… and fear.
Slowly, he raised his head and pierced the distant view with a hateful gaze.
"That scum..."
His voice was trembling with suppressed rage.
'So, to protect himself, he teams up with Lady Calyra…'
At first, Julian had believed that Ruvian was able to defeat twenty-five scholars because Calyra had helped him, since his summoned beast had mentioned that she was currently together with him.
However, the beast soon corrected that misunderstanding. Calyra had only approached Ruvian later, after the fight was already over, not before, and since then… the two of them had been traveling together.
Even so, Ruvian had still fought against a large number of scholars by himself. His summoned beast then explained everything that had happened in more detail.
'I see… so that damn commoner only fought against sixteen scholars. Not twenty-five.'
