Chapter 48:
Transmigrated Into a Noble's Beaten Son
"Naell?"
Andrew and the rest could not believe what they were seeing. Inside the barrier of Mony, there he stood with a huge surge of mana flowing from his body.
Wearing his uniform with his staff in his hand; white hair, pale skin, Naell was intimidating everyone with his presence.
No one had seen where he came from, but the fact was that outside Mony's barrier where Bhor was standing; the whole area had suddenly been frozen including the aura-infused cane.
Bhor was partially able to protect himself from the ice using his aura at the last minute, yet because of the difference in power, half his body had still been frozen.
His colleagues however weren't able to escape as they were frozen fully from head to toe, though fortunately still conscious.
Bhor’s hog-like body gave into the fear, losing his strength to stand, only making the ice as his support.
The shining red eyes of the glaring man in front of him never left his sight. He shivered from the cold and fear as he asked,
"Who… are you?"
Yet instead of answering, Naell's mana exploded once again, causing cracks on Mony's barrier.
Sweat could be seen on Mony's forehead including those who could see what was happening.
They were very surprised. The surging mana of Naell became more powerful, that the previous one they thought was already scary, exceeded everyone's expectations.
Meanwhile, all the alcohol in Bhor's body had seemed to have left him, as he became fully awake from the suffocating mana Naell was emitting.
The image of a dragon was etched in their minds that if it weren't for Naell's appearance, all those who could see it would have thought it was the presence of a dragon.
Yet it did not ease Bhor and his colleagues. While his gaze was as cold as ice, his demeanor was befitting a dangerous beast; the absurd amount of mana was so strong that it seemed to have the intent to erase them from Mundo.
Bhor in a panic remembered what he had done upon seeing Viola, who was just as surprised as he was.
"Sire, I'm sorry if I attacked your girlfrien---" Yet he could only shriek like the hog he was, as Naell stayed silent and only glared at him indifferently.
Truth be told, Bhor had changed and had become a better person, that was why even in the novel, Naell knew that the trauma Viola had, would have been solved by them visiting the Pando estate in the near future.
Yet due to alcohol, Bhor's old personality would resurface. If it weren't for his colleagues that teased him to drink, none of it would have happened.
"..."
Going back, Viola wasn't able to keep up from what was transpiring infront of her. Bhor, the one she feared the most looked pathetic.
‘That’s right… I have nothing to fear.’ She thought with a firm resolve.
She was still half awake when it all started and ended, yet what woke her up was the mana quaking infront of her; destructive yet upon closer inspection, the intent of the mana was without malice, just pure and angry.
“Are you okay?” Viola was startled when she heard his voice, it was gentle underneath all that power he was releasing, and when she caught his sight, Naell sighed and had a flustered face.
With a [ poof ] Naell's white red patterned robe appeared and covered her body up to the part where she was soaked, further the ground was already frozen eliminating the evidence of Viola’s “accident”.
"Thank you." Said Viola before realizing what her fear had done. Her reddened cheeks and the embarrassment she was experiencing at that moment was a new trauma she thought she would get.
"Uhhh..."
She was still shocked nonetheless, Not only did she pee in public, but she also caused an uproar seeing all the masses outside.
When Naell and Viola caught each other's sight as well, they both looked elsewhere, and before the awkwardness could continue, Naell and Viola heard someone’s voice dispelling the murmurs, and the trouble itself.
“Well done for dispelling the commotion students, although I see you did make another...” Earlteria Gem's gentle yet teasing voice echoed throughout the place calming everyone with her presence.
As she walked past the barrier, doubts and worries were erased from everyone’s minds. It seemed her fame was able to outshine the incident that had just happened.
Still, Mony’s barrier prevented some from seeing what was happening, as not all were able to bypass the blurring magic she casted.
Earlteria’s gaze alone calmed Bhor and Naell who deactivated his mana. She caught how the young master of Beryldot went and leaned on his staff after a second.
Naell’s tired eyes confirmed her theory that the mana she felt awhile ago was by no means normal. Still, she was impressed with the power and control he displayed.
It was true that when Naell mysteriously entered the area, his mana covered the area in ice, catching the troublemakers, and defending the victim from getting hit by both the aura-infused cane, and also his magic.
Soon, Andrew and the rest, with Mony's permission, ran towards Viola making sure she was okay. They glared at the fearful Bhor who was now being escorted by the guards with his colleagues, yet no one but the stout noble noticed Naell mutter,
“It’d be best if you stopped drinking, young master of Pando.” Naell had glanced slightly at Bhor’s friends behind him, who turned away in guilt as they walked.
They also escorted the Grandfather of the one called Anna to safety. During all those times, Naell actually made [ fortress ] for them so they wouldn't be harmed, and were protected from the aura and mana, normal humans would faint from.
"Grandpa that's brother snow!"
Both of them wanted to actually thank Viola and especially Naell since they knew him, yet before they could approach him any further, they were gently stopped by Earlteria as she said,
"You can talk to him later, young one. For now please be at ease and go to the clinic."
Earlteria then teleported them with the escort guards. She knew they were okay but precautions were needed especially since they were inside the fight,
Some members of the committee also gathered at the place, and were surprised at the sudden attack of beaks towards Naell. They heard the constant HOOTs that seemed to be angry at the young master of Beryldot.
“I’m sorry everyone…’’ Viola then stood up, embarrassed, and unable to look them in their eyes.
Yet what she got was a scolding from the worried Namiku, reassurances from the warm Rinca, and her classmates, Marcha and Noveam who were smiling with tears knowing she was okay.
Andrew, Rizaul, and Note were smiling with some distance as they were all embarrassed to suddenly be so close with Viola after she said to all of them telepathically,
• I kind of peed my pants. •
Yet the ladies just laughed and hugged her, pulling the shy Rinca into the party. For a moment Viola thought she was unwilling as that was certainly a disgusting hug, but upon seeing her face filled with joy, she smiled as well.
“We’re glad you’re okay.” Rinca softly said as she karate chopped Viola’s head.
It had already been some time since Viola and Rinca got acquainted. At first, the young miss of Arigare seemed intimidating from her poise and glares. Yet underneath all that, she was very warm and caring.
‘That’s right, I have my friends as well.’ Thought Viola with thankful eyes, earning her more hugs from Noveam, Namiku, Marcha and Rinca.
After that, all their gazes were then directed towards Naell as they heard Owly's HOOTs become softer and more anxious than usual.
They then noticed Naell's eyes were far from the intense gaze he had, his cold demeanor that was often amplified by his pale skin and white hair had now become far different and mellow. What they were seeing, was a delicate version of him, seemingly looking weak and exhausted.
• You noob human! •
Owly was really furious. He was actually the one who first felt the presence of Naell who teleported at the scene and even out of rage, destroyed the seal the young owl placed on his mana.
That was why upon calming down, Naell staggered and was unable to hold himself, completely in pain from releasing the substantial mana.
If it weren't for Rizaul’s reflexes, he would have already faced the ground as his strength left him, completely catching him off guard.
They all felt immense concern as they knew what Naell had done, but since they felt quite awkward still, they just stood from a slight distance gazing at him.
"..."
Naell's condition worsened as he thought they were blaming him for what happened to Viola.
''Don't forget, your partner, your responsibility, okay?''
He got paler from his stupid misunderstaning, only making the people around him more concerned.
"Naell, are you okay?" Even the often unemotional Rizaul was showing his unusual side, as his voice had hints of worry.
It was then, when they saw Naell smile with no hints of intimidation, far from the usual, it felt weak and at the same time gentle.
"..."
Seeing his condition, Earlteria decided to quickly teleport all of them away from the crowd and straight inside the main building.
