In this era where magic is dwindling,...

Chapter 9 Today's Morning Edition: Duel for Love (1/2)

The carriage continued on the road to the academy as usual.

Suddenly, the three people in the car heard shouting from the morning newspaper shop.

"Extra, Extra, this morning's edition. Ryan from the Gray family and Damon from the Mick family are dueling for love."

Listening to the special edition, Ryan opened the car window and looked at the crowded morning newspaper shop outside, feeling a little confused.

It’s just a glory duel, not a life-and-death duel, so why is it so popular?

There are more than a dozen Glory Duels every day, so it shouldn't be surprising, right?

What Ryan didn't know was that the creation of such a lively atmosphere was entirely the work of the Mick family.

The Mick family hopes that through this duel, Damon's reputation will reach the highest level, so that he can propose to Sofia directly after winning.

Even if it is impossible to get married directly, at least engagement is possible.

"Drake, buy me a morning paper."

"Okay, Master."

Drake slowly stopped the carriage, got out and walked towards the morning newspaper shop.

The crowded crowd looked at Drake's extraordinary clothes and the carriage that symbolized the Grey family, and made way for him.

This made it easy for Drake to buy a morning paper.

Drake handed Ryan the morning paper through the car window and continued driving.

Ryan opened the morning paper and looked over its contents with Emily and Cecily.

The morning papers described Damon's various glorious deeds.

For example, leading the knights to destroy monsters near the royal capital, training with ordinary people in the army, etc.

Some commoners must have thought Damon was an approachable aristocrat.

Ryan's description was a bit disgusting, such as fighting with a certain noble, peeping at the Grand Duke taking a bath, bullying the common people, and having an affair with an assistant teacher in college.

The difference between the two was immediately apparent.

After reading the report in the morning paper, Ryan understood why this duel was so exciting.

It turned out that it was the Mick family who was causing trouble.

Emily and Cecily frowned cutely as they read the description of Ryan in the morning paper.

"Master, that morning newspaper shop owner actually slandered you like that! Quick, let's get off the car and demand an explanation from him."

Ryan put away the morning paper, shook his head, and hugged the two people on his left to comfort them.

"Alright, alright, let them say whatever they want. I don't care about reputation anyway. As long as you know that the young master is good, that's all."

"And they're not wrong. I, Ryan, am a scoundrel."

He actually quite likes the word rogue.

First, he simply didn't follow any complicated aristocratic etiquette.

Secondly... I've been called a scoundrel, so isn't it reasonable for me, Ryan, to be lustful and bully men and women?

"Master, the academy is closed."

The driver, Drake, put down the stool and knocked on the door.

As the protagonists of today's duel, the Gray family's carriage attracted the attention of a large number of students and civilians as soon as it arrived.

Ryan got out of the car first, followed by Emily and Cecily, who were helped out of the car one by one by Ryan holding his hand.

He put his arms around their slender waists, one on each side, and walked into the academy under the gaze of everyone.

Looking at Ryan's back, everyone dared to whisper.

"Master Ryan is still as charming as ever, always accompanied by beautiful women."

"That's right. I heard that the maids in Gray's house are all Ryan's personal maids. You know what a personal maid is."

"Hush, keep your voice down. Didn't you see the driver is still here?"

Ryan took Emily and Cecily into the magician's tower, and both girls were shocked by the fantastic and magnificent decorations in the magician's tower.

"Wow, this is the most luxurious magician's tower in the empire. How impressive!"

"Yeah, Sister Emily, look at that spinning thing that looks like a Rubik's Cube. It looks really ancient."

The two girls looked around like curious babies.

Anyway, most of the magicians in the magician's tower were doing research in the laboratory, and the two of them did not touch those strange magic devices.

Ryan did not stop the two from visiting.

After a while, seeing that the two of them were almost done, Ryan took them to his room in the Magician's Tower.
