Herro and the others were asking him many questions but they froze when suddenly Faye summarized what happened in their training.

"Are you sure about that, Fayatzu?" Fatsu asked.

"Of course, even if you ask the other students in our class," Fayatzu said with a smug.

"R-really?" Herro asked in amazement. 

"Woah, isn't it unbelievable, deputy dear?"

Only Yumen and Eman were silent in the group. He felt awkward as he was the topic of their conversation. More on when the spirit of liquor invaded their consciousness. The four dudes had become a little noisier.

He noticed Yumen opened and closed her mouth while repeatedly glancing at him. He wondered if she wanted to say something. But he decided to ignore her and acted like he didn't notice it. She probably was curious as to why he was still fine even though he drank as much as the others.

In truth, he couldn't get drunk easily because he had high physical, magical, and mental resistance. So drinking liquor won't affect him that much.

And also, it's better to ignore her. He didn't want Herro to have a misunderstanding about it.

This guy helped him a lot regarding the enrollment. Not only of him but also with those former rats. Right now, they are admitted to different academies in the empire. And only Eman and Sol were in the same academy.

Regardless, even though he already denied Herro's insistent help offer, in the end, he gave up and let him help him.

"Hey, hey, look who we have here?"

Their happy celebration came to a pause when suddenly a person came to their table and said the words.

They glanced simultaneously and saw a tall guy with a large build. The guy had a tattoo on his face and was wearing a vest. He looked like a goon for some reason.

The guy was looking at them with a smirk. More or less, their eyes darted to the only female in their group. Yeah, they were looking at Yumen. Upon noticing their eyes, Herro grabbed her shoulder and pulled her towards him.

"H-Hey, you have a problem with us?" He said to the other party. But his voice was easy to comprehend that he was drunk already.

"Right. Don't disturb us as we are not disturbing you lots!" Said Fatsu. His mouth was a reek of liquor.

BWAHAHAHA!

The other party laughed at them. Then the person in the middle tapped the table in an impactful way which caused the liquor and beverages in the glasses to spill. Even the snacks scattered around.

"Hey, you!"

Fatsu immediately stood up with an angry drunken face. "Are you opting for a fight huuuh!" Fatsu bellowed as he rolled the sleeves of his shirt.

Looking at them, Eman noticed the other person was taller by a few centimeters than Fatsu. And the other person had well-developed muscles. On the contrary, Fatsu only had a big stomach.

Well, strength wasn't only the basis for a person who could manipulate magical attacks.

Since everyone was already drunk, none of them were afraid of fighting anymore. After Fatsu stood up in a hurry, the others also followed after him. They were now staring at the other group with knitted brows.

However, there were a total of 7 people in the other party. And all of them seemed to be confident. They were grinning wide while disregarding the angry Fatsu.

"Hehe, Miss, come join us, these wimps cannot make you happy?"

HEHEHE!!!

Said the person in the middle while extending his hand towards Yumen. But the person knitted his brows when Herro pulled Yumen towards his back. Then slapped his hand.

"Back off!" He said. This time he would be going to protect her. He could not let others take her away from him. After Lun Ho took her away, he realized how important she was to him. He practiced day and night to become a man that could protect her.

"Oi, that's a bad joke right?" Said Paula as he stared at the other party. 

Although Paula was taller than the other guy, the other party wasn't intimidated by him. Especially that he wore thick makeup on his face.

PUWAHAHAHA!!!

They laughed at him.

"You dolt! You've got some nerve slapping my hand!" The guy said to Herro while showing an intimidating face. The members of their group were sneering at him.

"It's your fault, Bastard!" Herro roared but it was noticeable that he was frightened. But, he did not back down even in the face of such an enemy.

"Oh…? You aren't afraid huh," said the tall person while crackling his fist. Seemingly ready for a fight. Or maybe trying to intimidate them.

Herro was taken aback but he remained on his feet.

"Leader, let's beat the shit of these people!" Urged Fatsu.

"Eh, eh?"

Fayatzu was rolling his eyes everywhere. He was looking for the bouncers. However, no one came to settle it.

The situation had become worse every second and every response. Until a fight finally broke out. The other party manifested their magical aura, covering part of their bodies. 

In response to it, Herro and the others also summoned their magical energy. But before started, he told him, "Eman Bro, please take Yumen and stay at the back. Right, if something bad happened please take her away and hide. Don't let these people get her!"

"Young master no!" Yumen shouted.

He didn't want his sworn brother to get involved in this commotion. After all, he was a newly awakened person. And he didn't want his attendant to be taken from him.

"Heh! Useless!" Said the tall guy then sent a punch to Herro.

Bang!

Herro used his two hands to block it.

"Hehe, is that all you've got?" Said the tall man while showing a wide grin.

Herro's hands trembled.

That punch was the signal, the others also took their stance and brought out their magical energy. 

"We are the Merciless clan, let's beat their asses!"

Fatsu yelled. Then summoned his magical energy.

The enemy also reacted the same. "You guys, get the woman!"

Yumen grimaced upon hearing it. Two people went to get her. She repeatedly called out to Herro. But he already focused on the battle.

"Someone's fighting! Call out the bouncers!" The other people were noisily looking for the pub guards. 

However, even if the pub guards would come to meddle and stop the fight. It won't be easy to settle the current commotions. Regardless, if they didn't do something about it, it would be total wreckage.

Eman believed it would be the case.

Nonetheless, two people were coming to get Herro's attendant. He sighed. He already suspected that it wasn't good to bring a woman to a place where people would come to drink.

Especially that this place had random guests that were coming and going.

He shook his head. Perhaps he was wrong. It wasn't just because of bringing women. The real reason for the trouble was the people who love causing trouble.

The two people grinned at the person who didn't join the fight. "Let's beat him and take the woman!"

"Hehehe, okay!"

They agreed to each other. After they arrived in front of him, the person who arrived first threw a punch. He had no mercy even if the enemy was a non-combatant person. He would beat him up! 'This guy had only himself to feel remorse at,' the person who came to beat Eman, who was currently standing beside Herro's attendant.

The punch came rapidly approaching him. A grin was visible on the face of the person who threw the punch.

Thump!

Suddenly, his grin was overwritten by a surprise expression when his raging punch was caught casually with one hand. On top of that, he wasn't using magical energy while taking the punch.

"What!"

A surprised utterance escaped from the person's mouth. He could not believe that his punch was easily caught like it was nothing. And the person who caught it was having a nonchalant face. Like saying what a bothersome.

"Dammit! Don't get too cocky bastard!"

He roared. But then he noticed he could not take back his hand. "What the—!"

He exclaimed inwardly. Nonetheless, at the corner of his eyes, he noticed his comrade arrived beside him. 

"Bullshit, release him!" His comrade shouted while going for a kick.

Just then, the hand that was holding his fist suddenly released his hold. But because he was trying to pull his hand to free it, the sudden release caused him to lose his balance and roll backward.

Annoyingly, he got up hastily. Could not bear the embarrassment that he had for falling into his enemy's trick. 

He would be going to kill him! He shouted in mind. After successfully getting up, he peered in front of him to where that guy was standing. He grinned when he saw the broad back of his comrade facing him. In his mind, he probably taught that guy a lesson.

Even so, he wanted to beat him more! He leaped in haste with a glint in his eyes. But soon he widened his eyes when he noticed his comrade's back was slowly falling down.

"How the F##k…"
