“…You idiots.”
Aldro, the boy who had just pickpocketed two nobles, let out a sigh of relief and leaned his head against the wall.
“As expected, nobles are the easiest even if they look difficult.”
Aldo, who had been laughing, suddenly looked around as goosebumps spread all over his body.
“No way…”
The nobles are broadly divided into two groups.
Those who look down on the common people.
Those who look down on commoners.
They may look different, but in the end they are the ones who look down on us.
So I easily distinguish them as trash and hypocrites.
If you ask why they are both the same piece of trash and why they are used differently, I don’t know the exact reason.
I’ve heard it too, but the reason they’re distinguished is simply because they have different means of earning money.
The former, although hypocritical, will give you as much money as you want if you just pretend to be obedient.
The latter may pretend to do so, but all he gives is his fists.
That doesn’t mean it’s bad.
They don’t see us as human beings. That means they don’t look at us or feel our presence.
For that reason, if you weren’t a very strong person and were good at pickpocketing and hiding your presence, you could naturally steal their money.
If you think about it, the latter nobles were much better for us as long as the conditions were met.
“And those kids had faces that weren’t on the ‘strong people list’.”
It’ll be okay.
Then, a familiar face of a man appeared in his mind.
A man I met before being kidnapped to this country.
A noble who gave me money like a hypocrite, contrary to the rumor that he was a loser.
If he had been such an ordinary nobleman, I wouldn’t have even remembered him.
The reason Aldro remembered him was because of his eyes.
It was because I felt a sense of disconnect in those eyes, which were different from those of other hypocrites, and just had no reason.
…Actually, it’s the first time I’ve seen a noble with black hair and black eyes.
‘That person earlier also had black hair.’
“It doesn’t matter. Right now, money comes first. Those people looked like they had a lot of money earlier, but how much…?”
Aldo’s eyes, which had been filled with anticipation, turned pale in an instant.
The reason was that there was only ‘one’ sack in his hand at the moment.
“My wallet…? What the? There’s no money here!”
“Hehehe, of course, I was thinking of asking Adhan to buy it for me today.”
Aldro, startled by the familiar male voice, quickly looked toward the entrance of the alley.
There, in despair, Aldro saw a black-haired man entering the alleyway and a large man following him.
“Don’t act friendly. If you had asked me, I wouldn’t have bought it for you.”
“That’s too bad, but I picked up some money today so it’s okay.”
The man, who was clearly smiling but looked numb because of his dark eyes, shook his wallet.
“Is this yours?”
“…”
“No? Then I’ll take it.”
The man who said that it didn’t matter what the answer was, turned his back to Aldro.
“I was going to return it to the owner.”
“Okay, just sleep!”
“Why? Is this yours?”
At his cold smile, Aldro shivered slightly without realizing it.
‘This…this horror.’
That crazy bastard back then.
Why are you here?
No, before that, should I jump now?
The old men said they don’t associate with these types of people…
But… without that, the crew…
Then my younger siblings… huh…
No choice could provide a good future for Aldro.
“Hey, why aren’t you answering?”
Aldro swallowed dryly and slowly approached him.
‘You can do it.’
You can steal it.
Trust my skills.
I told you that the old men were talented too.
Aldro took a deep breath.
Pot!
In an instant, he reached out and snatched the sack from his hand.
‘Okay…!’
Was the floor originally above your head?
“Don’t think weird.”
‘Huh?’
*
‘It’s like the kid I saw back then.’
It got faster.
No kidding, if I had let my guard down just a little bit more, I almost got it stolen.
It’s a good thing I couldn’t hide my gaze. I almost got laughed at by Adrian.
“Put this down!!”
It’s been noisy since a while ago.
The little boy’s eyes, which had been looking down at the floor while holding onto his legs, looked straight at me.
Those rebellious eyes.
If they were normal kids, they would have already been crying and making a fuss.
Perhaps it could be seen as the bravery of a pickpocket.
In this situation, it’s a good attitude not to give up. But you still have to be careful about what you do.
“That’s not it, kid.”
“No kid!”
“Then what is it?”
“Aldro”
“Okay, Aldo, as your senior in life, I’ll tell you something.”
“I don’t need that kind of thing, just let it go!!”
“People need to be aware of things.”
“What the heck… Ugh!”
As soon as I arrived at the park where there were few people, I grabbed hold of Aldo’s leg and climbed up the tree.
“If you try to mess with me any more, I’ll drop you for sure.”
“Just look at that!! Please! I can’t die yet!”
“Do pickpockets have a lot of regrets about life?”
“…I,I don’t need to know!”
“Look at that piece of shit? I’m really letting you go?”
As the strength in the hand holding my leg gradually disappeared, Aldro called out to me urgently.
“Okay, wait! I can’t die yet! Hey, I made a promise! I can’t tell you what! But for now, I can’t die!!”
“How can I believe that.”
“Wow, we saw it once before, right? Just this once! Just one more time!”
I smiled in response to his earnest plea.
“I hate it.”
“Why!!”
“You’re not using polite language. You idiot with no brains.”
“What the heck are you talking about, honorifics…ugh!!”
Aldro fell from the tree.
Fortunately, Ad’s quick response also helped him survive.
Adeun put the unconscious little boy on the floor and came to me.
“No matter how much of a jerk he is, I think he’s playing too hard on the kid.”
“I did it because I trusted you.”
“If I hadn’t read your signal, this little kid would have died.”
“You read it after all, right?”
“… This guy really has no plan.”
“I will interpret it as a bold person.”
I took Edd’s words lightly and turned my gaze to where Aldro was lying unconscious.
‘?’
There was only a black mark left there, where someone had fallen and gotten up.
There was nothing left besides that.
“…Where did the kid go?”
“I guess he ran away.”
“I was going to give you my wallet…but I can’t help it.”
We looked into this place again, promising to meet again someday.
***
The stadium right next to the accommodation.
This stadium is usually divided into 9 sections,
During big games like the finals, the areas were structured to be combined into one.
It has a unique structure, so those who find it interesting find it fascinating.
No, I’m not.
Let’s get to the point.
Today is the day the first tournament was held at that stadium.
Let me say it again, this event is where all the prestigious academy cadets from all over the country come together to show their strength.
The number of cadets was so large that it was difficult to handle.
That number
“Our son, fighting!!!”
“I believe in you, daughter!!”
“Come and show the power of the Skyle family!!”
It just looks relatively small because there are so many spectators that it looks cute.
Ooooo—!!!!
I had a headache because the audience was welcoming us more than I expected. I just didn’t like these kinds of competitions and didn’t want to stand out.
Since he was with Ad as a team, he couldn’t help but get noticed by people.
I was going to live like a dead mouse since there was a heretic base there…
Nothing really goes according to plan.
Still, my hope is to go unnoticed in this tournament.
There is nothing worse than having problems when you have so much to do.
Fortunately, Adodo was aware of this and had even made a promise not to cause any trouble for each other. This meant that my wish was not impossible.
-No matter how angry you are, just endure it.
-Don’t give orders, you rascal.
‘…Will it be okay?’
“There are too many people…”
Standing in the center of the stadium surrounded by spectators, Sarah’s face paled at the unfamiliar number of people.
“Are you okay, Sara?”
“No, it’s not okay…I have a headache, Lina…”
Sarah, who was now complaining of a headache, went into Lina’s arms with an expression on her face, saying she couldn’t stand it any longer.
“, what are you doing all of a sudden, Sara!”
Unlike the surprised Lina, Sarah smiled and entered her arms more forcefully.
“This is the best place to keep your composure.”
I could tell that was true just by looking at Sarah’s expression. I feel sorry for saying this to Lina, though.
I also suddenly felt like I was getting a headache.
Of course, I didn’t say anything out loud because I didn’t want to get hit by Sarah.
And just looking at it wasn’t a bad sight. I’m sure all the men around here were thinking the same thing as me.
‘So it’s not just me who’s weird.’
“The representative teachers of each academy will soon draw the brackets. Please be quiet.”
With a single word from the announcer announcing the start,
The noisy voices of the students and spectators gradually became quieter.
‘This is the real beginning.’
In the future, the winner will be determined through several battles with promising players from each country.
‘I don’t care about winning or losing like that.’
just.
Please don’t kill, Ad!!
