"Young Master, would you like to be my sparring partner?"

"Oh, I think I'd be more suited to be Young Master's sparring partner?"

When Isolet class was over and it was time for break, the aristocratic students clung to me and asked me to be their sparring partner.

So many flocked to me that if someone else witnessed the scene, they would've thought that I'm a true villain getting persecuted for my piled up Karma.

Of course, it's true to a certain extent, but... that's not the reason now.

"...I will act to the best of my abilities and take responsibility for raising your score!"

"I have learned the art of socializing, and the act I will put on will even deceive the invigilator. Instead, Young Master Frey, please 'remember' my face."

In reality, these guys aren't trying to make an example out of me because they hate me, instead they're trying to curry favor.

Over the past few days, when I was dealing with these aristocratic students gathered around me appropriately, they judged my actions as a sign that they had entered my fold and formed a faction on their own.

And presumably they decided it would be suitable to carry out 'facilitate the grades' as the first mission of the Frey faction.

In view of that, it seems that they also thought that my duel with Isolet last time, when I overpowered her, was also a magic fraud.

Indeed, the reason they couldn't recklessly go after Isolet was because of her status and 'strength,' so it's only natural for them to believe that I had used that magic brooch to defeat her back then.

Of course, I was only demonstrating my true skills‌ back then.

"I appreciate the gesture, everyone, but I already have someone in mind I've decided to pair up with..."

"Young Master Frey, if you don't mind, why don't you pair up with me?"

Anyway, while I was turning down the students' proposals, suddenly one female student approached me with an alluring smile on her face.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I told you I have already decided on my partner..."

"...I can be your sparring partner for the night."

"........."

As I shut my mouth at her words, several female students approached me and winked at me.

Apparently, these guys are trying to show their hospitality beyond just facilitating my grades.

'...Crazy Bitches.'

Perhaps those girls did that because they heard rumors that I'm a ruffian obsessed with women.

Well, rumors about me are widespread throughout the Empire that it would be strange not to know about them.

Of course, I didn't take any actions to suppress them since such notoriety will help me defeat the Demon King. However, sometimes when I hear such a ridiculous rumor, deep inside I want to scream my lungs out that it isn't true.

As for what rumors are circulating around...

There is a large assortment of sex slaves being kept in the cellar of the Duke Starlight's Mansion with minimal food provided.

I've been in relationship with each and every one of the daughters from noble families below the rank of Marquis, and so on.

The reason why the Imperial family can't treat the Starlight family recklessly is because I have a secret relationship with the princesses, which would cause a continental scandal if a word ever leaks out.
