587 Spoiled Noble Classmates

“Go away you vultures, there’s no carrion here for you to eat.” I quickly tried to choo away the crowd, everyone naturally looked at me with anger.
“Who are you calling vulture?!”
“He’s really talented but does he has to call us like that?! So mean!”
“I wish someone could teach him a lesson…”

Teach me a lesson? These children are really braindead. Agh, I am already losing brain cells by talking with them, I better just walk away with my friends before wasting any second here. I just want to level up.
“Hey, wait there!”
Suddenly, the second most annoying classmate showed up.
A girl of great beauty with long, blonde hair made into gigantic drills, wearing an expensive and luxurious uniform custom made for her.
She even wore a little crown-like diadem over her head, just to add to her rather bizarre clothing style.
“You lot are here again!” She said.
“Clarice?!” Asked Rosen while being slightly angered.
It was Clarice, one of the students that wanted to join our party before, but which I had simply ignored. She’s talented and strong, but she didn’t filled any role we needed so I instead recruited Alberta and Elfriedden.
Yet somehow, due to that, she has taken a really annoying rivalry with us, and she and her party are always provoking us and trying to make a fight with us. Honestly I could beat them all singlehandedly but due to the academy rules, I’ve contained myself so far.
“Blake stop calling everyone a Vulture! Can’t you realize you have no rights to act like this?! You were born in a little countryside village! Most of us here are all nobles, do you realize you’re being incredibly disrespectful?! You’re nothing but a pathetic serf! Now kneel and ask for forgiveness! Ohohohoho!”
“I’ll break her neck.” I walked forward.
“W-Wait a minute!”
“Stop, Blake!”
“She’s annoying but don’t go overboard!”
All my friends suddenly held my arms and began dragging me back.
“What’s there to think? She insulted my family, I’ll kill her.” I said with a low voice, I was actually being quite serious right now.
“Blake don’t do stupid stuff…” Sighed Erika.
Hah, to think there would be a day she would say that to me.
“Come on now, let’s relax.” Elizabeth said.
She was also holding me back.
I guess I was going a bit overboard indeed.
“Huh, so you’re running away now?” Clarice asked with a spiteful glare.
“Clarice, if you want to cooperate withs you could also get a better attitude.” I gave her some advice. “Until then, try to grow a bit stronger, you’re as weak as I remember you from the first day.”
“Uuggh! So rude!” Clarice said while hitting the floor angrily. “I-I’ll show that disrespectful serf! I will show him!” She said, her party finally arrived at her side and stopped her from running towards me with her giant axe spirit.
As we made our way back home, Evelyn was reprimanding me.
“Blake why do you always get into fights with students?!” She angrily said.
“I don’t, they just get closer and start barking. Is that even a fight?” I sighed.
“It is!” Evelyn said. “Try to be friendlier…”
“Why should I be friendly with a bunch of spoiled children?” I asked her.
“Y-You talk like a really grumpy grandpa…” Evelyn sighed, seemingly giving up. “Then just ignore them… Also the next week all of you will need to cooperate. You’re the strongest members of the class so everyone is looking forward to cooperating with you guys, please try to be friendly with everyone else. I know the rest of the class is made of selfish and self-centered spoiled nobles, but they’re still your classmates… And soon, your comrades in arms.”
“I get it! I’m always friendly. I’ve got a lot of other friends!” Erika said. “But Blakie is just very grumpy. Hehe, but he has always been like this. Deep down he’s really nice though.”
“Sadly, that’s true, it is one of his… character traits.” Elizabeth sighed. “But he’s actually a really nice person!”
The two girls began to defend my honor. I felt slightly embarrassed though.
“Papa’s super nice!” Saphira said. “Maybe a bit grumpy sometimes though…”
“I don’t really know what’s wrong with his personality? He was simply doing the most obvious of things…” Eleanora shared my mindset so she couldn’t find any flaws. As expected of her, she really gets me.
“I get, I get it, you girls are heads over heels for him.” Evelyn sighed. “But anyways, Elfriedden you’re also quite problematic so try to be friendlier.”
“M-Me!? You are comparing me with this barking wolf?” Asked Elfriedden while pointing at me.
“What did you called me?” I asked.
“SEE?!” Evelyn asked while facepalming. “Ugh, at least the rest of you guys are all nicer. It compensates for these two.”
“W-We’ll do our best t get along with everyone else.” Eric said.
“M-Me too…” Alberta was nervous.
“This is probably the perfect opportunity to know other girls…” Chris began rubbing his chin.
“I just want to hunt monsters and demons, but sure.” Erdrich nodded.
“I will also try to get along with them.” I said. “I just need more patience. I’ve never had a lot of patience for children…”
My friends are an exception, they learned rather quickly to be nicer and more respectful with me. And naturally, I am equally respectful to them because I recognize their efforts and strengths.
“I-I sure hope so…” Evelyn sighed, looking all dispirited. “Now, let’s enjoy the rest of the day off.”
Like that, I went to take a bath and cool off. My mind was slightly stressed of this endless routine, going to the academy was fun in terms of hunting and learning skills and gaining strength, but interacting with spoiled noble children was really the worst.
Nonetheless, as long as I look forward to the expedition next week, I can gain enough patience to handle them. I will lead them to victory with all my accumulated skills.
