The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Chaos at the Training Field (2)

Aisha stared at him, saying nothing.

He must have noticed their uniforms marked them as guides. Though it didn’t seem to matter to him at all. If anything, recognizing that they belonged to the lower class only made him more entitled, certain that his behavior wouldn’t cost him anything.

Everyone knew only Class 7-D students bothered coming out to the field at this hour. No one was as free as they were. It was common knowledge that they were being shunned by even the professors at the academy. Unlike the higher-ranked classes, who had better things to do.

That only seemed to embolden him further.

Sabel and Vesper had already broken off their mock fight, both of them turning toward the commotion, still panting slightly after struggling with their fight.

Vesper’s face went red almost instantly when he heard the student, his hands curling into fists.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Sabel shouted at the student. "You nearly killed them!"

She was usually composed and hardly burst out in anger. Whenever Vesper acted out, she was the one who tried to stop him or keep him from getting into any more fights.

But this time, she was truly angered by what had just happened.

Corwin blinked at her, unmoved. "Why are you reacting so much? You’re not involved in this. No one even got hit."

He said it so plainly, erasing any responsibility on his part. For him and his friends, as long as nothing too serious happened, it shouldn’t concern him at all.

Then, as if the matter were settled, he repeated himself, jerking his chin toward the spear on the ground.

"Come on, bring it here already."

Vesper looked ready to storm across the field and do something he’d regret. A-rank or not. Getting expelled or not. This was unacceptable. Sabel wasn’t far behind him, eyes shooting daggers already while balling her hands at her sides. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Stop," Kane said, stepping between them before either could take action.

"Kane, are you serious right now?" Vesper looked down at him as he snapped. "He almost hit you two!"

"We’re not hurt," Kane replied, though he couldn’t stop his hands from trembling.

That had been too close. If Aisha hadn’t pushed him away and moved, who knows if they would get speared together?

"We’re on the training field. Accidents happen here."

"Are you blind? That wasn’t an accident. They were being—"

"I know." Kane cut him off.

He glanced briefly at the student and his friends, who were now watching the exchange with mild amusement, as though it were some kind of entertainment.

"But you weren’t the one who almost got hit. So don’t decide how to react on our behalf."

Sabel’s eyes narrowed. "Are you really okay about this, Kane?"

She wasn’t just asking about the danger they had just escaped from. Kane knew that. She was asking about the fact that he was willing to bow his head, swallow his pride, and let it go. He knew he was lowering himself in front of someone who clearly thought they were beneath his feet.
