Chapter 103 – Confusing Betrayal (4)
◈
Zenit Tsire was born as the eldest son of the Tsire family.
Tshirega, like the Bunnings, was a family that produced excellent wizards.
In Tsirega, Zenit grew up without any shortcomings.
Zenit grew up in an affluent environment and was loved by her family because she was a countess.
So Zenit naturally thought.
She said she would also thrive as a magician and bring glory to Tshi Rega.
But Zenit Tshire did not have her magical talent.
Even though she had a decent amount of mana, she didn’t have the talent to use it for magic.
It was discovered when Zenit was 8 years old.
It was during the course, which she taught through her direct teacher for three years starting from the age of five, that she was declared unfit by her teacher.
For Zenit, it was the first setback of her life.
However, that did not mean that Count and Countess Tsire treated Zenit harshly.
Because for them, it is a replacement for Zenit.
Because there was Tshirega’s second son.
Unlike Zenit, her second son, who is three years older than her, has been showing her magical talent since she was five years old.
That’s why Countess Tsire and her wife did not ignore, belittle, or criticize her, but simply treated her with love.
She said she couldn’t help herself if she didn’t have magical talent, so she stopped having ‘expectations as a wizard’ for Zenit.
It was the first feeling of humiliation to bloom in young Zenit’s mind after three years of trying to unleash her magic.
Of course, that didn’t mean Tshire was mean to his younger brother, who was three years older than him.
Her younger sister followed her well, and above all, Tshire instinctively realized at a young age that her parents might react to her if she behaved badly toward her younger brother.
Therefore, Tshire’s humiliation only piled up in his mind and could not be resolved.
Meanwhile, Zenit went to a social club for the first time.
A private church where families other than her own gather.
Zenit was her countess, so she thought there was no way her father and her mother would be defeated.
Just like that, it is extremely rare for a duke or royal family to appear in person at a social church held normally, and the social church the Tshire family attended that day was such an ordinary social church.
Then I saw Zenit at a social church.
“Ah! Count Bunnings! It’s been a while!”
“It’s been a while, Count Tsire.”
Her own parents, who were solemn and dignified even to the people in their household, appear as if they are fawning over Count Bunnings, who is probably her same earl.
Rather than simply exchanging greetings, he was blatantly trying to impress his father, the Earl of Bunnings.
He always said his father was the best.
Zenit’s pride, which he felt was the best because he was a count, began to crack.
Her self-esteem, which was covering up the humiliation she always felt, began to suffer.
And even at a young age, she learned about the gap between the Tshire family and the Bunnings family through conversations between several nobles at the Zenith Church.
The Tshire family also produces great wizards, but they do not reach the level of the Bunnings family.
By producing great wizards, the Bunnings family can exert greater influence than the Tshire family.
Her own father is coming forward to receive a little favor from the Bunnings family.
In other words, her own family, even though she was a countess, was a family of lower status than the Bunnings family.
It wasn’t just what I heard at the social church.
The youngest daughter of the Bunnings family.
Scarlet Bunnings.
The news reached Zenit’s ears that she was born with the talent of all generations in the Bunnings family.
Even though she is about the same age as me.
Even though she is a countess who produces wizards like herself.
Scarlett Bunnings, who has a talent completely different from her own.
From then on, Janet began to harbor a vague sense of humiliation and inferiority towards Scarlet Bunnings.
Since then, we have continued to hear news about her Scarlet Bunnings.
She doesn’t really need to go to church.
Because the story of Scarlett Bunnings comes from her own parents’ mouths.
It was just information about other families, but for Zenit, it was news that continued to make her feel inferior and humiliated.
Scarlett Bunnings is already starting to show promise in her multiple properties.
The total mana amount of Scarlet Bunnings has increased again.
Scarlett Bunnings is finally old enough to enter the academy.
Scarlett Bunnings entered the Academy as her senior.
The more she heard about Scarlett, the more Zenit felt her inferiority complex.
It was that kind of time.
Zenit, who had no magical talent, began to blossom with an unexpected talent.
It was a day when warriors awakened simultaneously.
Zenit Tshire has awakened to her dual level of heroism.
The moment she awakened, as the hero’s symbol was engraved on the back of her hand, Zenit realized that her body was imbued with the power of protection, and she also learned what that power was.
It was such a celebratory moment for Janet that she let go of most of the inferiority complex she had harbored.
“I am… A hero!”
The fact that she became a special person was sweet to Zenit and was a special medicine that healed her heart that was hurt by her inferiority and humiliation.
From then on, Zenit began training as a warrior.
And when I was looking for colleagues in the guild to begin my career as a warrior.
“I’m Scarlett Bunnings.”
Zenit Tsire met Scarlett Bunnings.
She felt so humiliated.
At the time, Zenit desperately tried to suppress the wound in her heart that had healed greatly by becoming a hero.
Then, another unexpected incident occurred for Zenit.
She realized that Scarlett had a big problem.
The Scarlet Bunnings.
She was so humiliated and felt inferior, and Scarlett Burnings had been tormenting her for years.
She was an incompetent wizard who couldn’t concentrate properly and use magic in battle.
To Zenit, she was sweeter than anything she had ever felt.
She was the youngest daughter of the Bunnings, who was so well-known in her church and her own parents were so proud of her.
It was so sweet to see Scarlett Bunnings, who was called her prodigy and the genius of all time, struggling with her problems one more time, embarrassed and anxious.
That’s why Zenit mercilessly kicked her Scarlett away.
The look on Scarlett’s face that day made Janet’s heart beat every time she remembered it.
‘However… I did… !!!’
The man in front of me.
Kaltra himself said that Scarlett’s problem was solved.
And, it was obvious to anyone who saw her, that it was denigrating her own personality and inferring and stimulating her sense of inferiority that she did not show to others.
“What should I do because this is pitiful? You were so interested in Scarlett that you felt so inferior… But our Scarlett is not that interested in you.”
Her provocation, coupled with a fact she didn’t want to admit, was very fatal to Zenit.
“You say arrogant things just because you have a pierced mouth! Me! Do you think I feel inferior? To such a useless and incompetent bitch? Haha! That’s so unpleasant! That’s right! Even though I’m called the greatest talent of all time by those around me! Even if I’m the head of the academy. I, the eldest son of the Count Tshire family and a dual-strike hero, feel inferior to a bitch who is of no use in real combat!”
“Jeez, Zenit. I told you to calm down! You’re so excited right now!”
“Shut up!”
Even if his colleagues tried to stop him, Tshire did not stop his anger.
No, I didn’t even try to stop.
“It’s true because I see you getting angry. Look at that, Scarlett. Isn’t your face as red as a monkey in anger?”
“No, isn’t that a bit harsh?”
Scarlett was not angry at Tshire’s angry attitude despite being belittled as incompetent, but the anger she felt just now turned into embarrassment.
Rather, I was worried that Kalt was deliberately provoking Zenit.
Kalt ignored Scarlett’s words and looked straight at Zenit and made an additional provocation.
“If you keep emphasizing that you are the eldest son of the count… Do you know that it seems a bit cheap? It only seems like something you should do once and be done with.”
“Commoners… Preach to me!”
“Zenit, why are you doing this? That’s not like you!”
“Let’s just stop worrying about those guys and leave.”
“I told you it was noisy!”
Zenit violently waved his arm away from his comrades who tried to stop him and pointed at his kalt.
“I can’t just get over it! How dare you try to taunt me, a nobleman, while you’re a commoner?”
Zenit’s anger shifted from her Scarlett, who was the cause of her inferiority complex, to her Kalt, who continued to provoke her by scratching her own temper.
Zenit shouted, pointing her pointed finger at her kalt.
“I said Kalt! I challenge you to a duel! You have no right to refuse!”
Zenit lost her senses in her anger and behaved like a vicious aristocrat.
And Kalt, who had been challenged to a duel by her, stood up crookedly, placed one of his hands on her waist and laughed softly, making Zenit even more angry.
“A duel? Okay, I’ll accept it. Instead, if I win, I will personally apologize to myself for cruelly throwing away Scarlett.”
“Kalt, you…”
“I’ll apologize or something! I’m not tired of commoners like you!”
The duel between Kalt and Zenit Tshire was established.
