Such disregard instantly reignited the anger in the man, who had just begun to settle down.
Actually, not just that man, under the young Scholar's words and actions, nearly everyone's attention inside the tavern had been drawn to him.
In the tavern, everyone turned their heads, fixing their gaze solidly on the young Scholar.
Even some, not satisfied just by watching, began to stir up trouble and fan the flames.
"That man, yes, I'm talking about you. You look strong and burly, as if you have quite the strength, but now, facing a frail Scholar, you are acting so..."
"Acting so..."
"Acting so cowardly..."
As they spoke, the troublemaker could not help but burst into loud laughter, and following his lead, most of the spectators in the tavern also erupted in laughter.
Amidst the laughter filled with thick mockery, the man's anger, which had just been reignited, began to burn even fiercer.
"Forget it, it's pointless..."
Inside the tavern.
