Reborn As Noble

”Haaa... they’re boring!” Javier sighed dramatically, brushing imaginary dust off his hands. He turned to Liana and Gloria, flashing his signature mischievous grin. ”Liana, Gloria! Finish them all. Ah! But leave some for Buddy and Pikko. Ehehehehe...”

Liana drew her twin blades, her eyes sharp and focused. ”As you command, Young Master.”

Gloria smirked, adjusting her grip on her weapon. ”Ara~ such a generous Young Master, always thinking of everyone, even the Pekkos.”

Javier plopped down on a nearby chair, lounging as if at a picnic. ”Now... where’s my drink? ”

Buddy and Pikko squawked eagerly, stomping their feet as if ready to join. Javier chuckled, waving them off. ”Patience, you two. Liana and Gloria need to warm up first. Your turn soon!”

The two maids sprang into action, gracefully weaving through the immobilized attackers, their strikes precise and merciless. The air filled with the sharp sound of blades and muffled cries.

Javier leaned back, pretending to yawn. ”Haa... such a peaceful day... nothing like a little entertainment to pass the time.”

Liana finished off her last target with a swift strike, sheathing her blades with a flourish. ”All done, Young Master,” she said, her voice calm but satisfied.

Gloria turned to Javier, wiping her blade with a cloth. ”Ara~ that was quick. Should we leave some for Buddy and Pikko now?”

”Of course!” Javier replied, gesturing to the remaining attackers. ”Alright, you two, have at it!”

Buddy let out an excited squawk, rushing toward the restrained figures, followed closely by Pikko. The Pekkos stomped at the assassins, who were too immobilized to resist.

”Ehehehehe..!” Javier laughed, raising an imaginary glass as if to toast the scene. ”This is how you handle intruders with style.”

”Buddy! Pikko!” Javier called out, his grin sharpening. ”Crush their heads! Make them gone forever! I bet they’ve already killed a lot of people before. No mercy for the enemy!”

Buddy squawked loudly, stomping his powerful clawed feet as he approached one of the immobilized attackers. With a forceful stomp, he struck the assassin’s head, ending them instantly.

Pikko followed suit, her sharp beak and strong legs delivering decisive blows. The once-intimidating attackers were reduced to lifeless figures under the relentless assault of the two Pekkos.

”Now that’s what I call teamwork,” Javier said, leaning back with a satisfied look. ”You two really are the best! Keep it up until every last one of them is gone.”

The Pekkos continued their work, ensuring none of the attackers would rise again. Liana and Gloria watched from the sidelines, their expressions unwavering but ready to step in if needed.

”No mercy for those who try to harm us!” Javier declared, crossing his arms. ”This is what happens when you mess with the Armand family.”

Buddy let out a triumphant squawk as he finished his last target, while Pikko stomped one final time, leaving the battlefield eerily silent.

”Good job, you two!” Javier clapped his hands. ”Now, who’s ready for a snack?”

Buddy and Pikko squawked excitedly, clearly proud of their work. Liana approached Javier, her blades sheathed but her gaze serious. ”Young Master, we should ensure there are no more threats nearby.”

”Eh, fine, fine...” Javier stretched lazily, still grinning. ”But first, let’s grab something to drink.”

After taking a long sip from his drink, a mischievous grin spread across his face as he glanced at Liana and Gloria. ”You both up for some more fun?”

Liana raised an eyebrow while Gloria smirked knowingly. ”What are you planning, Young Master?”

”Enemy detection... magic binding!” Javier announced, clapping his hands together as green, glowing ropes of magical energy extended throughout the arena, snaking through unseen pathways.

Liana tensed, instinctively moving her hand to her weapon. ”Young Master, what are you—”

”You both go around the arena,” Javier interrupted with a playful smirk. ”When you see someone bound in green magic ropes, that’s the bad people. Oh, and there’s a group of robe mages—I gave them bindings they can’t dispel. Go and finish them all.”

Liana and Gloria exchanged glances, amusement mixed with exasperation.

”Buddy! Pikko!” Javier called, snapping his fingers. ”Go with them! Crush them all!!”

Buddy squawked in excitement, stomping the ground enthusiastically, while Pikko let out a sharp call, ready for action.

Liana sighed, gripping her twin blades. ”As you command, Young Master.”

”Ara~ this is going to be fun,” Gloria said, drawing her weapon with a sly grin. ”Let’s see what kind of trouble our little master has found for us this time.”

”Ehehehe... make it quick! I want to hear the report when you’re done,” Javier said, plopping down on a rock to watch the chaos unfold. ”I’ll keep an eye out in case there are more of them hiding.”

The two maids, flanked by Buddy and Pikko, set off to hunt down the remaining enemies. The arena became a flurry of movement as the magical ropes glowed, highlighting hidden attackers.

Javier leaned back with a satisfied sigh, his grin never fading. ”Ah, life is never dull around here. Now, let’s see how they handle this.”

Javier stretched lazily and stood up, muttering, ”Time to go back home.” He activated his trace skill to scan the area, making sure no one was around to see his true power. Satisfied that the area was clear, he grinned to himself, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

In the distance, the screams of the assassins echoed through the arena—men who had once been hunters but were now the prey.

”Next time, choose a job that’s better suited for you, stupid assassins,” Javier said quietly, shaking his head mockingly.

He glanced over at Liana, Gloria, Buddy, and Pikko, who were efficiently handling the attackers. Their movements were quick and precise. Liana’s twin blades slashed through enemies, while Gloria kept a smirk on her face as she took down her foes.

Buddy stomped and squawked loudly, delivering powerful blows, while Pikko used her sharp beak and claws to take care of anyone who dared to approach.

Javier smirked, tilting his head as if talking to the defeated assassins. ”Didn’t your boss warn you who you were dealing with? Honestly, you should’ve stayed home.”

After taking one last look at the chaos, he turned away, humming a cheerful tune as he headed back toward the rental house. ”Ehehe... can’t wait to see their faces when I pretend like none of this ever happened.”

As he walked away, Liana’s voice called out behind him. ”Young Master? Where are you going?”

”Hmm? Going home, of course,” Javier replied casually, waving his hand dismissively.

Liana’s expression darkened as she rushed toward him and grabbed his ear firmly.

”Eeeepp!! Lianaaaa!!” Javier yelped, flailing a bit.

”Don’t you dare go alone!” Liana scolded, glaring at him.

”Okay, okay! Jeez... chill, girl,” Javier whined, trying to pull away.

Finally, Liana let go and crossed her arms. ”You wait for us here! We’ll finish this quickly.”

”Yes, yes...” Javier grumbled, rubbing his ear. ”Just finish faster—I’m hungry!”

Liana sighed, shaking her head as she turned back to Gloria, Buddy, and Pikko, who were still dealing with the remaining assassins. ”Honestly, Young Master...” she muttered under her breath, though a small smile crept onto her lips.

Javier plopped down on a nearby rock and pulled out a small snack from his magic storage. ”Haaa... this is why I need more maids to keep me company. Liana’s too strict sometimes,” he grumbled, munching away.

While munching on his snacks, Javier paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face. ”Hmm? Ah... I forgot to think about what I should tell them,” he murmured to himself.

He chuckled softly. ”I guess I can just say that my personal maids were the ones who rescued me. Ehehehehe!”

He nod his head in amusement, imagining the reactions of his classmates and instructors. ”They’ll probably love it. ’The mighty Liana and Gloria saved the helpless noble,’ heh... yeah, that works perfectly.”

His grin widened as he added under his breath, ”And no one will ever guess what really happened here...”

Satisfied with his plan, Javier popped another bite of his snack into his mouth, kicking his legs lazily as he waited for the others to finish. ”Ah, life is good...” Discover hidden stories at freewebnovel
