June shook his head and snorted while Noah limited himself to look ahead of him.
'Enjoy life? I don't even know when the Balvan family will find me.'
Rhys' face appeared in his mind and some of his suppressed emotions were kindled again.
'I bet that daddy is pretty desperate about Fabian disappearance. What a pity, I'm way too weak to make a move against a medium-size noble family.'
Some traces of killing intent began to be exuded from his figure.
However, before anyone near him could notice it, a big commotion invaded one of the streets near his position.
Tens of students surrounded a tall man of about nineteen years old.
He had short silver hair and a slender body.
A warm smile was on his face as he greeted those that came to welcome him.
His aura too was warm and fiery which improved his figure in the eyes of the others.
Ruth suppressed an excited scream and whispered to June.
"That man is Daniel! The prodigy of the Uyde family! It is said that not only his family is one of the wealthiest among the large-size noble families, he is also the stronger student in the academy! Think about it, he has the record in the hunting entrance tests with one hundred and ten Earth lizards killed!"
June was speechless and pointed at Noah behind her.
"But he broke that record."
June didn't hold her voice so all the students near her heard what she said.
Whispers began to resound between the various groups of students until, eventually, those words arrived at the youths surrounding Daniel.
"Someone broke Lord Daniel's record? Hump, I bet he was fighting ants!"
"But I heard that they were Ice-born Yetis, their strength is quite similar to the Earth lizards."
"Nonsense. And even if they did that, Lord Daniel was less than seventeen when he did that accomplishment! We must all remember that."
"But this Vance is not even sixteen apparently."
"…"
Silence reined on the streets and June sensed a cold stare on her back.
She turned and saw Noah looking at her with the same gaze that he had back when they fought.
"I'm sorry, ok? I'll make up for this at some point. I just don't think much about the consequences of my actions."
She bowed while saying these words.
Noah felt like an old man scolding a child and sighed loudly while massaging his temples.
However, some stares and gestures that pointed at him had already begun to appear between the students.
He then felt a scorching gaze on him and turned his head in that direction.
His eyes inevitably crossed Daniel's ones and they stared at each other for a whole minute.
Noah felt that Daniel's nature was completely different from his, he could not explain why.
It was more of an instinct rather than a sensation.
'Is he stronger than me? Well, he is at least three years older.'
Noah felt that Daniel's strength was slightly above his, he wasn't sure that he could beat him.
After their stares, Daniel began to speak.
"So, you must be Vance! Why don't you join me and my friends for a drink? Oh, you can bring your group too, the more the merrier!"
Daniel's smile began even brighter as he gently asked that.
Ruth turned to look at Noah with an eager expression but he answered immediately before any plead reached his ears.
"No, I have a lesson now."
After these words, he walked toward his appointed building between the amazed gazes of the other students.
