Chapter 46: Becoming Enemies
With the instructor's approval, Masatsuki left the examination grounds and made his way toward the crowd.
Halfway there, a sudden commotion broke out.
A group of nobles and commoners had formed a defensive line, dozens of them gathered closely together.
"Useless trash! You can't even handle something this simple?!"
A furious voice rang out from within the crowd, followed by the sharp crack of a slap.
One by one, trembling students in the front row began kneeling, their faces gradually turning pale.
Then, a figure clad in noble attire, a Zanpakutō resting at her waist, strutted out with arrogant confidence. The wave of kneeling students spread outward in eerie silence.
Asaka Tsunayashiro was furious.
She had been eager to represent her family in crushing a rebellious vassal, only for these incompetent fools to disgrace her.
What infuriated her even more was that a mere lowborn had dared to defy the Tsunayashiro Clan, and yet the people around her could do nothing but tremble in fear!
If not for the fact that her personal attendants were barred from participating in the Konsō internship, these Rukongai-born mongrels wouldn't even deserve the privilege of kneeling before her.
