Chapter 39 I dealt with the Hero Candidate
Hmm, interesting.
It looks like this boy hates nobles. Is that because he was envious that we live better than him or is it because something happened to him or his family?
It doesn't matter. if he has any bad ideas about my family, I'll eliminate him.
Now let's first try to diffuse the situation. Killing a kid, just because he tried to enter through the noble's gate or making a few rude comments on a young master would be considered too much. Though the people won't speak against the nobles, there is deep-seated fear and anger against many of them.
They just kept their mouths shut because they were powerless. If one day, when the awakening rate increases, there will be more awakeners of common people when compared to that of nobles. It would be bad.
Even if that's far away in the future, once in a while, a commoner genius would rise and change everything in his vicinity. When such a person appears, it would be disastrous. Having a good name among the people is not required but a bad name is dangerous.
So it's best to show that my family is not a tyrant, well, at least not the main family. Moreover, whenever a hero candidate is in danger, something miraculous happens and saves him, even if that miraculous event is something that destroys the world.
So I am sure that the boy would survive, no matter what. let's hope that there will be no enmity between us. If that doesn't work, there is always the option where I can just kill him and end it. I am not going to show mercy to my enemies. It would be the stupidest thing that one can do.
Now, let's end this drama before it drags my family down.
"Haha, Cousin Gregor, I didn't think to see such entertainment as soon as I returned home", I spoke chuckling as he moved to the front of them.
As soon as my cousin and the guards saw me, they stopped. Not everyone might know how I looked, because I spent most of the time in the family compound, but still, my face was well known to the guards who watched the noble's gate.
They were supposed to know the young masters of the land and also some important ones from other lands. This was so that troubles didn't arise when one of them visited the city.
"What are you doing here, Magnus?" he started to shiver when he saw me.
Whenever we fought, I always beat his ass. So he should fear them a bit or else how can I get back at those idiot elders? After all, he along with another girl who belonged to the neutral faction were the only ones near my age. So any duels would be among us three.
Older members shouldn't involve themselves in these fights and that's why I got away with bullying him. If not, there are others who can beat me too, well at least back then.
"What am I doing? I am returning home. I believe that my father still is the viscount", I said casually.
Gregor understood what I was implying.
It doesn't matter if he understood or not. The guards understood what I meant and they retreated back to their posts.
While I was dealing with this idiot cousin of mine, I felt a prick in my mind.
Ah, what was that?
Someone was trying to scan my status. Is it that boy?
Hmm, I was right, that boy was scanning my status. He is definitely a hero or else how can a commoner get such a skill?
Now, should I let him know that I felt his probing or not?
I should let him know in a way that he wouldn't forget about it ever and it also should be imprinted in the minds of others.
Did he believe that I was afraid of him?
I just didn't want to be entangled in unnecessary battles and gave him a way out. If he does anything that he shouldn't, only death awaits him.
Slap!
"Who do you think you are to scan other people's status?" I yelled out loudly.
I slapped him again before he could do or say anything.
Slap!
"Hmm, do you think you can do anything you want just because you have awakened? There are thousands of people that awaken just in Judland Province itself. Do you think you are special?"
I slapped him again.
Slap!
"Now get your ass and stand at the end of the line, where other common-born people are standing. Remember boy, if you do such a thing again, I'll personally end your life", I warned him.
Now that my identity was exposed, I could only enter through the noble's gate.

(Third PoV)
Dorian felt humiliated today. He almost died but that's not the worst of it. His system was almost got exposed and that would have caused a lot of trouble for him. He heard tales that there were many who sought power and would experiment on anything that appeared strange.
His system can be considered strange, 100%.
When he scanned the new noble child, he was sure that he could just read his status without any issue but that boy saw through it. Even though he got the details, he was found. Luckily the noble boy didn't murder him, probably because there were a lot of witnesses.
"No matter what, I won't forget today's humiliation. With your meager power, you can reach nothing. One day I will reach a higher stage and will crush your entire family", Dorian cursed inwardly.
He forgot the fact that the boy saved his life but that was forgotten by Dorian. He only remembered the humiliation he felt and he knew that these young masters depended on their family status.
He scanned both of them and they looked average, especially of the boy who first saved him and later humiliated him.
