Chapter 55 – Fools – Ego

Nick had the attention of the Werfur students as soon as they entered the courtyard. One of the Werfur students was walking ahead of the others. Nick surmised him to be the leader of the group.

At this time, when the leader of the Werfur students group was looking at Nick, one of the Werfur students behind him stepped forward. He leaned closer to the group leader and started talking.

“Wednel, this is the human mage who signed the Golden Document with our race. His name is Epsilon. It is said that he is capable of taking down more than 200 mages all alone and he is a big researcher. He finished the research of elemental active shield by himself.”

The leader named Wednel heard his friend Wanin’s words and nearly yelled.

“B*******! Your words are definitely exaggerated. I don’t believe it.”

Everyone in the courtyard heard Wednel’ words, including Nick. Nick was no kid and he understood what Wednel was trying to do. One of the students behind Wednel was a female Werfur, who stood out in the group.

Even Nick understood that this girl was beautiful by the standards of the Werfur race. But he also noticed that the expression in the girl’s eyes was not good when she looked at Wednel.

Before he attempted to belittle Nick, Wednel looked at this female Werfur.

It looked like that he trying to impress her and court her romantically. But Nick could see as plain as day that Wednel did not have an ounce of a chance.

Not to mention romantic interest, this Werfur girl regarded Wednel with hate and disgust in her eyes.

Of course, Nick did not say anything or react to Wednel’s words; he was not a kid and he most definitely was not going to play kid games. These kinds of petty things were not enough for him to be angry.

Wednel on the other hand was indeed a kid; he was instantly angry seeing that the human mage did not respond to him, making him look like a juvenile fool.

He circulated his magical energy; clearly, the matters of mating and libido had made him lose all his rationality.

After circulating his magical energy, he whispered and attacked Nick.

“Plant Energy Spear.”

A spear made up of green energy, with vines circled around it, manifested and shot towards Nick.

Nick sighed and did nothing. The spear spell Wednel used against Nick broke down after it hit Nick’s passive shield that was too strong for a spell of this level.

“How!”

Wednel and other Werfurs behind him opened their small rabbit mouths in absolute shock. They did not want Wednel to attack a human who signed a Golden Document with their race, but they still did not expect that their friend and leader’s spell would be this powerless against the opponent.

They at least expected the human mage to avoid the spell or cast a counterspell to block it.

Nick looked at Wednel and started talking.

“I am Epsilon, the bearer of the Golden Document signed with the Werfur race. What you did was attacking me without any plausible reason or provocation. This is a breach of the contract made in the Golden Document.”

Nick’s words further stimulated Wednel’s anger. First, the human did not pay any attention to his insult and then he blocked one of his strong spells without even lifting a finger. He made him lose face in front of his friends and the female Werfur he was interested in.

Wednel looked at the Werfur girl called Welia, and noticed the look of ridicule in her eyes. This time, he completely lost his senses and cast several spells against Nick.

“Plant Energy Bomb.”

“Plant Energy Spear.”

“Plant Binding.”

With his words, a green energy ball manifested and charged at Nick. At the same time, a spear made up of light energy and vines glowing with green energy headed in his direction.

Nick gave out a breath and whispered.

“Summon Anubite.”

He summoned the Anubite in front of him at a distance of about five meters so that the Anubites will not hurt by the spell of student, 

when the spell was about to hit Epsilon

At this time, Welia, who was furious at Wednel’s actions, started talking.

“Wednel are you stupid!? What are you trying to do? He may be a human but he is a human with the Golden Document. Attacking him is the same as attacking the leader of the Werfur Anderium Base. If he dies, you would not see daylight for the rest of your life.”

Welia’s words pulled Wednel back to his senses. Just then, the dust created by his spells also settled.

The group of students saw the human mage Epsilon standing in his place, not harmed even in the least. But at the same time, a creature jumped towards Wednel. They could not follow with their eyes because the creature was too fast for them.

Within seconds, the creature captured Wednel and put its sickle to his throat. All other Werfur students were shocked and could not move a muscle due to fear.

After the creature held Wednel, Nick got closer to the Werfur students and started talking.

“Right now, even if I kill him, there would be no danger or punishment that I would face at all.”

Not only had he attacked me unprovoked, but he attacked me twice with the intent to kill. This is reason enough for any individual to kill another. What do you say in his defence?”

At this time, the last person Nick expected, the Werfur girl whose name he heard only when Wednel spoke, Welia, gave a word of caution.

“He is the son of one of the council members. If you kill him, even if you have the Golden Document, you will face problems.”

Nick smiled and asked.

“So, it means that he could try to attack me, kill me or injure me but if I do something to him, I am the one who gets the short end of the stick.”

Welia did not say anything; she looked at Nick without any respect whatsoever.

Nick exclaimed at this time.

“It seems that there are places where the humans are not very different from the Werfurs.”
