It took Ferdinand a moment to process what just happened, a one star ranked mage spoke to him in such an unrespectful way, and that was not all, he tried to remember a big force which was ruled by a family surnamed Licht but he realized there was no such a thing.
So, in his mind he was basically insulted by a commoner, which had enough luck to enter the elite class somehow.
Ferdinand took a deep breath; he then nodded and spoke.
“Very well, if that was the case, the one at fault here is not just my useless daughter but you, and since your selfish actions harmed the head of a clan from the beast faction, I can take you prisoner to be interrogated, elders please proceed”.
The atmosphere suddenly tensed up, the two old men and Ferdinand let out their pressure in the surrounding area in a try to suppress Daimon and the other students, of course Irina, Yvonne’s grandpa and Boris let out their own to counter them, but there was noticeable gap.
Daimon evaluated the current situation, “two middle stage and peak stage Archmage in their side, and one peak, one middle and one early stage one in ours… it doesn’t look good for us”, he said.
Calvin saw that even right now Daimon was smiling, and he sighed.
“Oi class rep, if you have a card up your sleeve, the sooner the better, I’m proud of my guts, but I don’t want to see them outside of my body you know?”.
Daimon laughed.
“Calvin, do you know what time is it?”, he asked in a relaxed voice.
Before Calvin could answer Michael interrupted.
“It’s nearly midday… but what does that matter”.
“Well, let’s just say that these guys from the Risha family have a bad timing”.
The two old men in Ferdinand’s side suddenly placed their hands over their chests as if they were feeling pain, their faces turned pale as paper before they spat out blood.
“Uncles!!!”, screamed Ferdinand in a terrified voice.
“How interesting, apparently the Risha family is now the ruler of the White Fang galaxy… if not they wouldn’t be acting so dominant in front of the young master of both my Revy family and the Argent family”.
Daimon smiled, he looked at the roof of the training facilities, just to see the origin of the pressure that made two peak Archmages vomit blood, a beautiful light brown-haired girl, she was using an outfit that combined both western and eastern styles, her eyes had a bright red tone, but probably the most outstanding characteristics… besides her perfectly curvy body, were the foxlike ears and the four tales which completed her look.
Ferdinand’s eyes widened.
“Isn’t that the champion of the Revy family!!! … wait did she just said “young master” of the Revy and Argent family, then this kid is…”, he couldn’t finish his thoughts when he felt his heart sinking, unlike the two elders which somehow managed to stay up, he directly fell to the ground.
*Crack*
“Aghhh!!!”.
The sound of bones cracking and Ferdinand’s screams made the girls turn away their faces, well with the exception of Yvonne and Aisha.
Daimon cleared his throat, to draw Liz’s attention.
“Ahem, that’s enough if he faints, then how do you expect me to threaten him?”.
Liz smiled, she stopped using her pressure on Ferdinand, before winking and sending a kiss at Daimon, her image flashed as she disappeared from the scene not without saying clear and loud.
“If that’s what my future husband wants, then as a diligent wife I will obey ♥”.
…
Daimon shook his head, “Punishment tonight, definitely”, he thought.
He then walked until he was a couple of meters away from Ferdinand and spoke.
“The next time you want to bully someone, make sure you have the higher ground, also whoever they used to be, they are now my classmates… friends, and I’m already starting to have fun with them, so it would be a pain if I end up having to look for new ones”.
Ferdinand which was having problems to breath, heard Daimon and he nearly fainted due to the excess of anger, he coughed a couple of times before forcing himself to speak.
“This is an abuse of authority… you have no right to interfere in the matters of my clan”.
Daimon looked at Yvonne and spoke.
“Yvonne, are you related to this man?”.
Yvonne shook her head.
“No, the only ones in that place which I recognize as my family, are my mother and my grandfather, since I was born up to this day, the only ones that have ever worried about me are them… even now my school fees are being covered by my mother alone”.
Daimon smirked.
“You heard her, there is no place for you to interfere in the matters of my class”, after saying that out loud he approached Ferdinand and said in a low voice.
“To be honest that’s just an excuse, I’m clearly bullying you… but what can you do about it, never appear in front of me again if you value your balls that is, go ask to that vice principal that allowed you to enter, what happened to that idiot from the Gladius family”.
Ferdinand didn’t understand why, but when he looked upwards and saw Daimon’s eyes, he felt his whole body shiver a bit, his back was drenched in cold sweat as he thought.
“This makes no sense, I an Archmage am being intimidated by a star ranked youth!!! … no, this kid isn’t normal, this feels as if I’m being targeted by a monstrous magic beast”.
Unlike the previous idiots Daimon has fought, Ferdinand is an Archmage, so normally he would of course not feel pressured by him, luckily his mind is quite agitated, he failed to break through and then was humiliated by Liz after all, so right now he was quite susceptible.
Daimon looked at the little window which had a description written.
[Overlord’s Pride LV 2 (Passive): Your sole presence makes your opponents tremble in fear, the more others fear you the stronger you will look for them, absolute submission is possible given the proper amount of pride]
[The user gathers the fear caused by his actions to others, and wears it as part of its natural aura, which is only detectable by enemies or those who harbor ill intentions, it also protects the user from mental attacks]
“Out of all the skills I got from the manticore… this is the one I like the most, it originally only gave me a strong presence in front of others, but it changed quite a bit after levelling up”, thought Daimon.
Evangeline of course took the chance to brag.
“Of course, I told you the system will always adapt to your desires, since you wanted to make others tremble just by the mention of your name, then this particular skill has the potential to help you achieve that”.
Others can’t see it, but in Ferdinand’s eyes, there was a huge dark shadow whose figure is unrecognizable behind Daimon, the only exception were the eyes, which were clearly visible, the shadow’s murderous sharp violet gaze fell over Ferdinand making his heart clench, he felt as if he was going to suffocate.
Ferdinand looked at Yvonne and found a way out of this terrifying situation.
“I-I as the clan head declare that this incident will be totally forget… Yvonne entered the elite class, so the family will give its support to her!!!”.
After finishing speaking, Ferdinand unconsciously looked at Daimon and saw him nodding, that horrible shadow disappeared and the sun seemed to illuminate the world again.
Daimon patted Ferdinand’s shoulder as if he didn’t threat to castrate him a few moments ago, before saying with a calm smiling expression.
“That wasn’t so hard, was it?”.
“Be sure to show your support to those who stand at my sides, and your Risha family will of course be compensated, who knows what we might find in that magic ruin… if Yvonne feels “loved” by her family, a couple of gifts might find their way to those who support our class”.
Ferdinand’s eyes light up like lamps, a wise person once said “There are no eternal enemies, just eternal benefits”, and he was a firm believer of that.
“That girl managed to get in the good books of this monster, perhaps Irina was right to send her to the academy… I have to talk with the other clan heads”, he thought.
Daimon saw the reaction he was expecting and he mentally smiled, “The carrot and the stick, what a wonderful method to get subordinates”.
Ferdinand slightly nodded, he helped the two elders stand up and the three of them left, not without giving Yvonne a complex gaze as he thought, “To think the fate of my Night Sparrow clan will be in the hands of Irina’s daughter… sigh”
The previous scene looked quite incredible for Ferdinand, but the members of the elite class, Irina and the old man, only saw Daimon approaching Ferdinand which made him look as if he has seen a ghost, before he left without complaining or even showing the slightest anger.
Yvonne knew there was more to Daimon than what meets the eye, so the most surprised out of everyone was none other than Irina and the old man that was with her.
“One thing is having a high status, but making an Archmage retreat with the tail between his legs… what did this kid told to Ferdinand”, they thought.
Now that the situation was over, Daimon shook his head as he gazed at his classmates.
“You guys are for sure a headache… but it wouldn’t be fun to hang around with you if that wasn’t the case”, he said with a relaxed expression.
Calvin laughed.
“Come on, you like to cause problems anyway, so why not use that scary personality of yours to help your friends hahaha”.
On a rare occasion Michael agreed with Calvin, even Aisha laughed at his observation.
The only one which wasn’t laughing was Boris.
“You get a headache, bullshit, I’m going to have to deal with the aftermath… what the hell is the champion of the Revy family, a peak Archmage, doing here?”, he thought.
Aura requested Liz to come, but she kind of forgot to tell Boris about it.
