《My Story in the Otherworld》Chapter 22

Advertisement

What I feared most in the depths of my heart came true. I'm not dense like Ichika from Infinite Stratos or Akihisa Yoshii from Baka to Test. Like come on, she's forcing me to go to school with her after looking at me with yandere eyes. However, I ignored it and thought that I was looking at it wrong since I was rejected every single time I confessed on Earth. Sure, she's hot and has a personality that any guy would fall for, but she's a noble. I'm technically a commoner that got lucky by meeting her because if the Duke was not a nice guy, I would have been screwed on every single turn. However, even with the fact that the Duke was nice, would other nobles accept me? Only someone with a status like Julian or even Varin is capable of marrying her without repercussions. I'm not willing to get into that much trouble that could potentially cost my life for someone I don't love completely.

Varin started to run towards me with hate apparent in his eyes. His looks reminded me of a rabid dog.

"Lyka, you said you like this peasant?" Varin asked as soon as he got close to her.

"Yes, in fact, I like him much more than your weak ass. You're so weak that you probably can't even take care of a starving Plague Wolf Cub. However, I wouldn't mind that. Strength, in the end, never really mattered to me. However, even though you're so weak, you love to bully others since you're just a little stronger than them in terms of power and you especially love to bully commoners because your dad is a Viscount. Let me tell you this, if you think you bullying others will make me look at you in a good way, think again because I detest that kind of action,"

"Lyka you know that even the weakest of cubs could do significant damage to us. We're only first years at the Royal Academy. We also just finished the first term. We barely got into the subject of adventuring. Let me also tell you that I am not weak! In terms of potential, I have S rank potential. I am far better than those commoners that attend the Royal Academy. The best ones over there are A ranks. Even you yourself are a S rank, the same as me. There is no reason for you to ever call me weak!"

"Hmph, the only reason you have good potential is because of the fact that you took the Upgrade Potion since you were 5! If you're so strong then why don't you go against Jeffrey to see if you're strong. If you win, then I'll make sure that I will marry you, bear all your kids, and live with you till you find me too annoying and throw me away," Lyka said with disdain not caring for anything that Varin was saying.

Varin eyes narrowed and started to turn to me with a hint of fear in his eyes. Since he saw me battle Viktor and almost getting hit in the crossfire multiple times, it seems that he became much more afraid of me. However, since he knew I was a commoner, he thought I would never attack him, but if it's a battle then he knows I could easily break all his limbs and say it was an accident and no one can say anything about it.

Suddenly, Julian spoke up.

"If Varin isn't strong enough then shouldn't I be strong enough? I could most likely break all of this guy's bones in 2 seconds," Julian said. "If I could beat this guy, will you take me back?"

Lyka looked at me. She started to fidget around and started to contemplate about my strength. However, it might have been that match against Belphegor, but she agreed.

"Alright, if you are able to defeat Jeffrey, I will be your fiancee. However, if you can't, you will never try to get together with me again. Furthermore, if Jeffrey wins, you will try your best to break my engagement with Varin. I don't think I can wait for Dad to break my engagement with him,"

"What do you mean?!" Varin started to shout. "Lyka, your father agreed to my father's arrangements. He would never let this happen!"

"Hmph, that's where you're completely wrong. He knows what you've been doing in school and he knows that you're a terrible person so he doesn't even recognize you anymore. If it wasn't for the fact that it looks extremely bad on me for my father to break the engagement after agreeing to it, he would've already destroyed the engagement a long time ago!"

Hmmm, no wonder, the Duke never even mentioned a hint of Varin when threatening to kill me for mistakenly believing I was her boyfriend. He probably came to the solution that the engagement was stupid and started to dislike him completely. Also, judging by the fact that he did not say anything about future engagements, he probably let her choose her boyfriend. As the Duke is extremely nice to commoners and nobles alike as long as they have the right character, I could see him allowing Lyka to choose her boyfriend as long as he's "dead for 10 years".

Varin collasped. His eyes started to turn blank and he started to mumble to himself.

"This is not real... I am the son of a Viscount. Sure our family is in a bit of trouble right now, but with enough help from the Duke from the marriage, my father could easily be an Earl. The Duke knows this. There's no way he won't..." Varin stayed silent for a second before looking towards me with dense hatred evident in his eyes.

"You gigolo, it's your fault that I'm in this position! I'm going to kill you!"

Varin started to run towards me and swung out a weak looking punch. I easily evaded it and kicked his stomach.

Bwok!

"Argh!"

Varin lost consciousness and he quickly fell to the floor. The soldiers besides Julian quickly went forward after snapping out of it and placed him on a bench nearby the mansion. After that little fiasco, all attention went back to Julian to see what decision he would make.

Julian started to think extremely hard as offending a Viscount although his father was an Earl did not seem to be a good idea at the moment.

"I-I"Julian thought about it until he made his final decision.

"Alright, I accept your terms,"
