The mana gathering at the bottom of his sheath became more powerful and compact causing a bright smile to appear on his face, but right as he started to unsheathe the sword-

"BANG!"

The big guy bent forward 90 degrees and Lucius could see a wide smile on his face.

"I've got to go now friend but I won't forget this favour!"

Lucius just waved him off as he walked away 

'Despite his big and scary appearance, he's rather childlike on the inside.' Thought Lucius, almost chuckling. 

Looking at the sight Lucius rubbed his nose and a slight smile crept onto his face.

"Maybe sometimes it's okay to do some good in the world."

But Lucius's smile didn't last long.

Before the big fella could leave the room.

Two tall muscular men entered next. They were nowhere near as big as the big fella but still larger than average and built like bodybuilders.

As soon as the pair entered the room their cold eyes scanned the room before quickly locking onto the big guy.

Lucius could see their expression contort into one of annoyance.

Stomping over towards the big fella they arrived in front of him with a ferocious aura.

The big guy quickly froze in place.

"H-hello, I-I'm sorry-"

Slap! 

Before the big guy could even get some words out of his mouth a fierce slap was sent across his face sending him down onto one knee.

Looking at such a sight, Lucius couldn't help but gasp.

'He really went and hit this Russian Mafia-looking motherfucker?! Has this guy lost his mind?'

It wasn't just Lucius that was stunned speechless, even other people here couldn't believe their eyes!

But what made Lucius even more shocked was that instead of transforming into a raging berserker this guy curled up and carried on letting these guys hit him. No, he even started apologising!

"Useless bastard!"

"What use is a bread shuttle that can't even do things on time!"

"S-sorry.. I-I'm sorry I won't mess up again I promise!"

But instead of helping the big guys distraction, the apologies seemed to piss off the two attackers even more.

"Ptui! A bastard child like you truly is an insult to the family!"

"Look at you, Ryan? Such a big body and you don't even dare fight back? Hahaha! What a fucking joke!"

Seeing this sight Lucius couldn't help but frown.

'A bread shuttle? That guy?' Lucius almost couldn't believe it 

But the more he thought about it the more it made sense.

Some people were just like that.

Twisted and insecure people who often like to bully and torment those better and bigger than them because of their own inadequacies.

For whatever reason it was, Ryan would never fight back against those bullies and they would continue to attack and harass him. Revelling in a sick sense of pleasure they can from having such a big strong person utterly helpless in front of them

But just because Lucius figured out their reasoning didn't mean he approved of it, such behaviour is quite unsightly

And It wasn't just Lucius that felt so, everyone looked rather disgusted seeing such a one-sided beatdown of such a meek individual.

The two bullies also sensed the disapproving gazes accumulating everywhere around them which caused one of them to snap.

"What are you guys looking at?! The Montford family is conducting business. If you know what's good for you, you'll fucking scram."

When they heard the man's words the crowd froze a little. 

A man near Lucius turned pale

"M-Montford as in, the family of the Shield Hero!"

Hearing the exclamation from the crowd a smirk appeared on the bully's face.

"Since you know the situation, do yourself a favour and screw off!"

The crowd of people was a little aggrieved but there was nothing they could do but suck it up and walk off.

Well, all but one.

A devilishly handsome man with raven black hair and eyes as red as ruby, was watching the entire scene with a look of amusement on his face.

"Hey, bastard! Are you slower than the big oaf we have over here? I told you all to scram 

The crowd turned back to look at the commotion.

Lucius and the subject of it all, tilted his head in confusion. 

"You're really Me? I don't think you have what it takes to order me a round 

For Lucius, this wasn't a matter of arrogance but plain and simple fact.

The first act he did In the academy was brutally beat up a third year.

And besides, Who was Lucius? 

The leader of the largest terrorist organisation on the planet and disciple of a woman strong enough to serve the queen directly!

If he still lets himself get pushed around by a family name he may as well smash his head in with a brick!

What was the point in trying to gather strength in the first place?

But the two oblivious bullies couldn't see it this way 

Seeing himself still being ignored the man finally blew his fuse 

"You must be a first year, right."

"Yeah, and? What does that have to do with anything? 

Hearing this the bully finally smiled 

"Only a first year student who hasn't seen the world would dare ignore us. If you knew what we were truly capable of, I don't think you'd still be talking like this."

Lucius didn't care and picked his ear with a nonchalant 

His brow twitched but the man tried his hardest to remain calm.

But when his next threat was meant with a simple 

'Ok'

He couldn't take it anymore and finally snapped 

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Do you really think the academy will protect you? Were descendants of the Shield Hero, You better watch out for the-"

But before the man could finish his sentence-

Bang!

Lucius wrapped in bloody lightning crashed his knee straight into the man's face! 

Boom!

The body was sent flying and crashing into a nearby wall with the sound of echoing thunder.

"Shield Hero this, Shield Hero that. All I can hear from your mouth right now is that you're one big bitch!"
