Chapter 29: Remuneration for work (3)
The duel ended anticlimactically, contrary to Ihan's expectations.
While he was filled with disappointment, the spectators had a different reaction.
The way they looked at him had changed the most. Originally, some held glances of disgust toward him, but now there was no disgust. Instead, there were hints of admiration, and even awe. Most of the students were of common origin, and those from noble families had evaluative gazes, probably concluding that forming connections with him might not be a bad idea.
That’s just how nobles are—always calculating.
However, despite Ihan's lack of fondness for such attitudes, he proceeded with a proper introduction.
"As I said before the duel, I am Ihan Turtle. Not ‘Ri Han’—make sure you remember that."
"At least respond, you clueless brats."
"Good response."
These fledgling chicks, when will they finally grow into decent humans?
