Chapter 275 - Probing Yakob's Attitude

Tension filled the air as Rila's voice traveled on everyone's ears. Yakob was taken aback by what he heard but understood that if nothing was done, this event could create a problem, a huge problem for their side even. 

Not waiting for the things to escalate even further, he moved towards the man and slapped him on the back of his head. 

"How many times did I tell you not to go around offending people? You sure are the dumbest in the Sander's household!" Yakob was fuming mad as he reprimanded the man named Brando. 

Brando was the cousin of Ciera. Upon hearing the situation she was in, Brando insisted on going along with the others. He was also an E-Elite Rank so Yakob had no problem letting him come. However, the only problem was that Brando's attitude and approach was often haughty and overbearing. He would always do as he pleases, especially if the other party is younger than him. In short he was a bully to the weak. 

Yakob as an Elder of the Sander's did warn Brando about this attitude of his. However, it looks like his warning has fallen into deaf ears, seeing the current situation. 

Yakob had no doubt that it was Brando who started everything. Firstly, Raul has already recounted Ban's attitude during the past days that he was away, and in that matter, he could tell that Ban was a responsible person. Second, Brando has the attitude of dueling those younger people who he didn't like.

It was a common fact that increasing a Summoner's Rank takes time and effort. It was normal for people to be already at 30 and yet would still be in the F-Apprentice Rank. Only a handful of people can reach the E-Elite Rank before the age of 30. These people are often the leader of their party or have a high rank in their group. In other words, they are considered geniuses. 

Brando, who came from the Sander's lineage, and who has already reached the E-Elite Rank at his current age of 20 was also a genius in the eyes of others. With that alone, Brando could truly have the capacity to be arrogant. However, in this world, there are different kinds of geniuses. For example, Ciera who has already reached the E-Elite Rank at the age of 18, and someone like Ban who reached it just weeks after his awakening. 

This was also part of the reason why Brando only bullied those who were younger than him. In his mind, he was a genius, and only a genius like Ciera can top him in terms of age to rank ratio. And was a genius like Ciera so common in this world? No, they only consist of a fraction of it. Brando was confident that only Ciera was the ultimate genius on the Falcon City. 

In actual fact, Yakob could relate to where Brandon was coming from. Before he met Ban, he also thought that his Young Miss was an ultimate genius and would surely reach the top if not met with a mishap midway. However, those thoughts were shattered upon meeting Ban. 

Although he has a large physique and a tall height, for someone like Yakob, it was already easy enough to determine someone's age. Especially when he got Ciera as a comparison, he realized that Ban was a genius who already reached the E-Elite Rank even though he was way younger than Ciera. It was also because of this reasoning that he came up with a lot of conclusions before. 

Ban was a hidden genius of an unknown family. They are currently accompanying him to train in this dangerous area. He came from a wealthy family seeing his expensive looking gears. 

In fact, Yakob already knew of Ban's real identity. The mask worn by Rila alone confirmed it. They are from the Panda Family who was active in Eagle City and Falcon City before. He also confirmed it with the other elders of the Sander's family. At this moment, they have the same thought as him, not to provoke the Panda Family. This was also part of the reason why Yakob was now much more respectful to Ban compared to the previous time. 

Especially when the life of their Master, and their Young Miss was literally on their hands. This was also why they were very supportive of sending another batch of E-Elite Ranks to help Yakob in fulfilling Ban's request. 

And now, this Brando who popped out and only came due to him being close to Ciera, was about to ruin their plan and even went as far as to provoke them. 

"What an idiot! An actual idiot!" 

If not for the fact that Brandon was also part of the Sander's younger generation and that he was close to Ciera, Yakob would truly slap him on the face again and again to vent his frustration. 

"Drag this idiot away!" He said to the others as he slowly approached Ban. 

He then bowed down deeply and made an apology with the sincerest attitude he could muster. 

At this moment, Ban's brows were still crunched together. It was clear that he was displeased by the event that transpired earlier. However, upon seeing Yakob's sincere actions, he decided to calm himself down a bit as he stored the beautiful dagger inside the Dimensional Storage. 

Rila atop of the tree only shook her head with a smile. Yakob brought a lot of E-Elite Rank when he came so she was actually worried that a fight would break out. In terms of numbers and strength, she knew that they are very outnumbered and would surely lose automatically if a fight really broke out. 

That was why she intended to provoke Yakob by saying those insulting words to see and probe his stand on this matter. She knew that it was Yakob who called the shots on the other group so if she saw any unnecessary movement from Yakob, she would immediately convince Ban to escape. And about Ciera and the others? Rila doesn't care what's going to happen to them. Her duty was to protect Ban and if she saw something awry, she would always prioritize his safety. It was no longer about Kuys order to her, but it was no more like a big sister trying to protect her younger brother. She has already grown fond of Ban. 

Meanwhile, Brando who was dragged away was still tongue tied about what just happened. His head was baffled by how strong Ban was. And more importantly, who the hell would attack someone with a dagger themselves? Use your Summon so I could prepare.
