The Author's POV
Chapter 9
I kind of expected this but...
I'm currently being ridiculed by half of the class.
As I was practicing the first movement of the [Keiki style], I couldn't help but notice that some of my classmates were openly pointing their fingers in my direction as they ridiculed me.
Hello? I'm fine with you talking smack about me, but at least do it behind my back where I can't hear nor see you.
As I tried my best to concentrate, ignoring the ridiculing looks, I couldn't help but notice a tall man with dirt blond hair standing beside Donna.
Instantly cold sweat appeared on my back.
'Gilbert von Dexteroi'
One of the first antagonists that the protagonist encounters.
His father, 'Thundergod, Maximus von Dexteroi, was one of the only SS rank warriors in the human domain and was currently ranked third in the Hero ranking', moreover he was also one of the seven heads of the union!
With such a background, Gilbert could basically do whatever he wanted.
This was already shown by how he managed to become an assistant tutor in the academy at the tender age of 22.
What especially stood out about Gilbert, was not his father's background. No, although his background was indeed terrifying, it wasn't what people paid attention to when interacting with him. What stood out about him was the fact that he was a bloodline supremacist.
He believed that only those who had special bloodlines were allowed to stand at the peak.
To him, Kevin was an eyesore.
Kevin's parents were just regular people with at most a D rank talent.
Once they were killed by a demon, he was sent to an orphanage from which he lived there for 5 years.
He then later disappeared and reappeared as a prodigy that would make any guild drool at his talent.
How could he let Kevin who had a dirty bloodline take the spotlight?
He was a firm believer that only those who inherited a strong bloodline were destined to reach the peak.
He viewed the world like an aristocrat.
He firmly believed that commoners had no place in this world, and only nobles could rule the world.
So as soon as he heard about Kevin, his first reaction was to remove such cancer that was hiding within the academy.
Actually, Gilbert wasn't like this in the past.
But whenever Gilbert looked at Kevin, deeply hidden feelings that he tried to forget resurfaced in his mind, making him despise Kevin with all his might.
In actuality, his hatred stemmed from a trauma that occurred to him in the past.
Back when he first arrived in the lock, he was confident, kind, and well-mannered.
However one day a transfer student came into class.
Unlike Gilbert who was the son of the Thundergod Maximus, he was just a regular student with no notable background.
At first, Gilbert didn't think too much about him, but slowly the transfer student climbed up the ranks.
Startled Gilbert started to pay more and more attention to the transfer student.
Seeing his stunning growth he was extremely excited.
'Finally, someone who is worthy to compete with me'
He thought, as he trained and studied more than before.
Slowly the two started competing in almost every subject, and a friendship slowly blossomed between them.
At first, Gilbert always came out on top, but as time passed the gap gradually became smaller and smaller, until the transfer student started winning all their competitions.
Shocked by his progress, Gilbert studied and trained even harder.
But...
The results were the same.
The gap kept growing bigger and bigger, and a seed of inferiority started to plant inside of his heart.
'How can I the son of the thunder god lose to him who had nothing since birth?'
Every day he would ask himself the same thing, as he tried his best to bridge the gap between them.
At first, it went from wanting to get higher scores than him, to later wanting to be not too far from his score.
Gilbert's expectation of himself slowly started becoming lower and lower.
All along he kept his feelings hidden inside of him as he continued being friends with the transfer student.
