155 – Mask (6)
Numerous eyes were fixed on Theo on the podium. Most of the eyes are on the figure of a young Young master from a family of marquises who will be overthrown by an unexpected counterattack.
In other words, it was the gaze that wanted to see Theo’s shame.
‘It’s not easy to see a scene like this. I’ll have a good look in a while.’
‘Where is the young laborer trying to eat raw? In today’s world, no matter whether you’re an aristocrat or a commoner, ability is limited!’
‘I was called the greatest genius among our jockeys, but at that age I just rolled without thinking.’
Theo calmly glanced at those gazes with an indifferent look.
Another angle, another angle, another angle.
With lofty and distinct steps, he walked toward Johnson, the man who raised the question. Then, looking at the people in the audience, he opened his mouth.
“Hello, distinguished guests. I am Theo Linn Walderk, co-author of this paper.”
“·······.”
Without an answer, a desolate atmosphere lingered in the hall.
No wonder, because the voice of the young Young master who introduced himself did not contain any tension.
Theo continued.
“First of all, I would like to apologize for wasting the precious time of the people present here unexpectedly.”
“·······.”
Again, there was no answer.
Theo immediately raised his finger and pointed at Johnson.
“Sure, Mr. Johnson.”
“·······.”
“What part are you curious about?”
Gulp.
Johnson swallowed dryly.
‘Mi… You’re a crazy bastard.’
Johnson had his head spinning.
I was taken aback by Theo’s arrogant attitude and suddenly cut off the speaker during the seminar, but I hadn’t even thought of this situation.
What Johnson expected was Theo, who, like the others in the auditorium, was overtaken by an unexpected counterattack.
‘This… Chew. Crazy, f*ck!’
Johnson pretended to be calm on the outside, but on the inside he cursed constantly.
What made it even more upsetting was that Theo, who was looking down at him from the podium, was indifferent, unlike himself, who was dripping in a cold sweat.
···No, rather, she seemed to enjoy the situation.
Johnson’s mind went blank.
Johnson was extremely sensitive to images, but he couldn’t look around. I was afraid to check how others were looking at me.
‘If I show any more parenting, my life is over.’
Contrary to Johnson’s wishes, however, there was already a stir in the audience.
“That, that…!”
But Johnson had nothing to say. No, no one in the audience other than Johnson would have had anything to say.
Johnson’s justification for attacking Theo was, “I can’t believe he collaborated on such high-level research at the young age of 16.”
However, it was heartbreaking to the end. It makes no sense to ask for proof. It is also questionable what should be demanded as evidence.
In the first place, the boy in front of him who had been hit by an unexpected counterattack took a proud stance, and the situation ended with Johnson showing embarrassment.
Male voice, male voice.
Will Johnson ‘bite off his tongue and die?’ While he was thinking about his back, the chatter in the audience grew out of control.
“To be proud of yourself like that… It seems like you really did joint research?”
“That’s right. Even a 5-year-old warrior often shudders at the first seminar presentation… Are you really asking me to ask anything?”
“You must have made a big mistake, Mr. Johnson. If it’s such a trivial question, you can ask after the presentation.”
“Anyway, that’s all. Anyway, I really like that little Young master. He doesn’t show any signs of embarrassment. Really, if we weren’t jointly conducting research, that kind of attitude wouldn’t come out.”
“Am, even considering that he is a direct descendant of the great Balderk family, he is unique. I think he will do a great job in the next Noble Warriors Association.”
“Wow, those kids are nobles, aren’t they?”
“Take your hands off your thighs and speak, Mr. Narand…”
“Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen something interesting, so my heart is shaking. My heart.”
The voices of the people in the audience, which grew out of control, were no longer babbling.
Suddenly, the voice resonated throughout the auditorium.
“Excuse me, everyone, could you please be quiet.”
In an instant, the audience became quiet.
The eyes of the people in the audience turned to the owner of the voice.
The owner was Theo.
Theo glanced briefly at the audience, then he fixed his gaze on Johnson.
“I think the questioner, Mr. Johnson, briefly forgot his question.”
All eyes in the auditorium were focused on one Johnson.
“·······.”
Johnson no longer had time to pretend to be calm, and was openly sweating.
It’s been a long time since image management has disappeared from my head.
‘Mi, you crazy bastard… Are you going to hold a public execution ceremony?’
Johnson wanted to run out of the auditorium at any moment and jump from the roof of the building.
This is the level of kicking an opponent who has already been knocked out and is lying on the floor of the arena.
Whether or not he knew Johnson’s feelings, Theo put a light smile on his face.
“Ha ha ha.”
‘That bastard. Should we bring the same nobles down like this? There’s nothing I can do to this extent.’
In Johnson’s heart, sadness was now gone, and anger welled up. He was socially dead anyway.
I don’t know what’s going to happen next, and I want to kill the young laborer on the podium.
Young Nomu Sheki opened his mouth.
“I have been like that often, so I sympathize.”
“·······?”
Johnson’s eyes widened.
People in the audience also looked at Theo with their eyes wide open.
‘No, wasn’t it a fun public execution ceremony?’
Ignoring the gazes of people in the audience, Theo said with a light smile.
“Then, Mr. Johnson, if you don’t remember the question right now, could you organize it later and ask it again?
“Eh? ······!”
Johnson’s eyes doubled at Theo’s unexpected words.
Theo saved himself.
‘······Real dog, ant-mad bastard!’
Johnson’s heart melted. Even ten seconds ago, the thought of how to kill Theo was nowhere to be found.
The desire to commit has also disappeared.
In vain, a young laborer. No, the handsome young genius of the great Marquis de Balderck made excuses even while humbled himself.
Johnson, who entered the heavenly time in an instant, followed Theo’s pale smile and opened his mouth.
“hahahahaha, that’s right. Maybe it’s because he’s the son of the great Marquis Balderck, so you have a special eye for it. I deeply apologize for interrupting the presenter and instigating a dispute. I know the questions are annoying, but I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. “Are you all right, Prince Theo?”
Before anyone knew it, the title Johnson called Theo had gone from being a f*cking bastard to being a Young master.
Theo bowed his head similarly to Johnson, who was staring at him brightly and bowing his head.
“hahahahaha, of course. I don’t deserve an apology. Rather, I just want to thank Sir Johnson for making it such a good experience.”
“Thank you for understanding me, hahahahaha.”
Johnson sat down again, holding back his laughter.
Theo said, looking at the audience.
“Now then, let me finish my presentation. I apologize once again for unexpectedly wasting your precious time. This is Theo Linn Balderck.”
Theo gave a short bow to the audience in a dignified and noble manner.
“Let’s go, Marie Jane.”
“Uh, um. That’s right…”
Theo exited the auditorium with Marie, who looked bewildered.
People in the audience stayed in their seats for a long time even after the two left.
This is because the afterglow of the situation from just before left a strong impression.
‘Rather, he showed generosity to the person who openly attacked him. Even while lowering himself.’
Academic seminar of the branch of the Warriors Association of Rosenheim Kingdom where various dirty conspiracies are prevalent.
In contrast to him, a young genius with distribution and abilities that can only be found in myths.
A young Young master who showed a heroic appearance was strongly imprinted in the minds of everyone who attended the seminar.

“·······Khahahaha!”
As soon as Maximin returned to his guest room, he burst out laughing. It was a laugh that I had endured from the auditorium because of the image of being the head of a great aristocratic family.
Whether or not his subordinates and daughter were in the same room, Maximin’s laughter seldom stopped.
“I thought it was unusual, but I never thought it would be this much. Really… Kuhhahahaha! My father is handsome too, but he’s much better than him, better.”
Maximin laughed so long, he felt his daughter’s gaze staring at him.
“What’s wrong, Piel. Aren’t you funny?”
“Father…”
Piel’s voice was bleak.
It wasn’t a matter of seeing his father happy like a cheater he’d never seen in his life, and he was in a hurry to find out whether Theo was a contract holder.
Sensing his daughter’s gloomy energy, Maximin stopped laughing and looked at Piel with a serious face.

“Why is that?”
“Right or not?”
After saying that, Piel lowered her head.
Maximin’s coat of arms, ‘Banisher’, can distinguish beings other than humans.
Of course, it’s not as good as ‘it’ sleeping deep in the family, but it’s possible to distinguish it with a probability of about 90%.
Piel prayed, biting her lips in her nervousness.
‘·······Please.’
Seeing her daughter like that, Maximin tilted her head.
“Isn’t it?”
How long has it been 😌
