"Drake, I will pretend as if what had occurred just now never happened. Now, did you come here to accept the request to participate in our tournament, or just to mock my Elders?" he asked.

"I accept, of course! We'll beat all their asses." I said. I ended acting more arrogant than I would have wanted, but I ended letting the cliché Xianxia main character soul fuel my words passionately.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Oops, did I went too far?

I ended going a bit too far indeed.

"I-I mean, I will help you clean your asses! Wait, no, that's not it…"

"Pppffff… Hahahaahaha!"

Everyone with me began to laugh.

"You're too hilarious, oh my god…" laughed Benladann, even tears began to come out.

"Ah, maybe I did go too far."

I glared at the Elders, and they were about to explode, their faces were growing redder and redder.

Oh, there was that miss from the shop, the witch… she was looking at me seductively while licking her lips. Wait, she's an Elder? And sorry, but I got a wife, and I don't look at thots.

"REEEEEE!"

Suddenly, an Elder began to ree.

Wait, are you kidding me?

He jumped towards me and suddenly conjured a blade of ice, about to slice me in half.

I moved faster than him and punched him in the nuts.

CLASH!

"GEAGH…!"

BOOM!

He fell over the floor, unconscious.

Uegh, I didn't want to touch another man's balls, but it was a pretty obvious weak spot.

"Sorry about that but he attacked me first, no grudges right? We are all good?" I asked.

"Yes, we are good, you'll participate in the tournament in 7 more days, now, please leave this place immediately." Said the Sect Master. He was surprisingly nice. Was this my plot armor finally kicking in? About time!

The other Elders looked at the sect master in disbelief. They couldn't simply believe he actually forgive me for all this shit I had done.

"Alright then, see ya in 7 days guys, take care of your friend, a punch in the nuts is hard to recover. But don't worry, he should be able to get through it, however, perhaps he should begin to consider adoption." I said, walking away leisurely.

The moment we closed the door, an explosion of insults and words began to fill the room, the Elders were raging angrily as the Sect Master sighed.

"Shut up all of you!" He roared.

Of course, we were slowly walking away, but through my expanded senses, I could hear them clearly.

"But Elder, he punched Elder Kyarenn…!"

"He literally jumped over him to slice him in half, what did you expect he would do? Sit there and let himself get sliced?"

"Why are you defending that man?! He literally just insulted the whole sect!"

"I don't know, I like him. Got a problem with it?"

"Tch! We should really sentence him to death by doing so many of these things!"

"Sect Master, what is wrong with you?!"

"Silence! This is my sect and I do whatever I deem fit. I believe Drake had his motives, and all of you should stop being such temperamental babies for once. We'll get through him and see what he's capable of. I have already planned to slowly devour his sect one bite at a time. Ultimately, we should slowly and discretely assimilate him into ours. The point is to not make it obvious to the damn righteous faction! Can't you all bunch of idiots understand?!" he roared, the Elders remained in silence, finally understanding his true intentions.

Oh, I see, so he was indeed a bastard. Thank you for desperately revealing your plans, Sect Master, I am sure that everything will go accordingly to your expectations, my good friend. I cannot wait for all of us to be devoured bit by bit.

I walked with a bright smile outside of the building, as I decided to go in a walk with my group for a while, conversing about what had happened.

"What did just happened?" asked Benladann in disbelief.

"A lot of things, I guess I offended the whole sect… I couldn't resist it, it was very funny to see the rage, didn't you find it funny too? You actually laughed out loud…" I said.

"Ah… S-Should I apologize?" she asked.

"What? No, why would you do that? Don't apologize to idiots." I said.

"It was hilarious! Oh my god, Drake, you're one hell of a man!" said Tisha.

"Yeah, that was quite crazy, you're insane." Said Pekora.

"That's my master for you! He's crazy!" said Yuki.

"Awwooo!"

Frost also added something to the conversation.

"CRAA!"

"CROOA!"

Huginn and Muninn agreed with Frost.

"Anyways, after punching that old man's balls I really want to wash my hands, should we go to a restaurant? I'll wash my hands and we can eat something delicious for once." I said.

"Hahaha! That was the funniest part, I can't believe you would punch his balls." Said Pekora.

"They're so big and powerful, yet they get irritated by measly words. Ice Giants of this sect had once more disappointed me." Sighed Tisha.

"I want fried meat!" said Yuki.

"Alright fine, let's get to it then."

We moved across the streets as I noticed that a few figures were following me from behind.

Oof, is this another trope? Will they attack me in the restaurant? Oh my god, I can't wait.

This is like living my cliché tropes!

We entered the restaurant and took some seats, we ordered our stuff and waited while conversing.

And just as I thought, a group of three Elders of the sect rushed towards us, one of them slapping the table loudly.

CLASH!

Oh my god, it is happening! It's happening!

I looked with excitement at the angered black-haired man in front of me, I didn't even recognize them, but they were there raging at my words.

He looked mighty ugly.

"Drake! I won't tolerate your words! Perhaps the Sect Master did, but you committed a terrible mistake by insulting us! We'll make you pay!"

I see…!

[What should you do?]

-Apologize.

-Act arrogantly.

-Kick them in the balls.

-Just kill them.
