Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

In the break, I went to the cafeteria to have a quick refreshment.

Many children were already there as everyone from all the four classes would be allowed to eat at the Cafeteria.

I couldn't see anyone outside of the 1st year freshmen since the seniors would have different times for breaks and classes. The curriculum was designed so that the Juniors and seniors would not fight each other.

Anyway, that was none of my concern as I was only here to buy a drink.

I was from the Pendragon Barony and we are considerably rich despite no having much reputation, so I did have some money to buy myself whatever I want.

As I put my hand in my pocket to take out the money, 5 coins appeared in my hand.

'What the...!'

It was coins with the engraving of two headed dragon on one side and the roaring lion on the other side.

'Gold coins...!'

I was surprised to find that the pocket money was much more than I imagined.

There were 5 types of coins in the Mauryan empire, each was engraved with a double headed dragon on one side and different engravings based on their values on the other side.

For example,

An Iron coin with the engraving of two swords and a shield - It valued 1 gild.

A bronze coin with the engraving of a mystic eye, valued 10 gilds.

A silver coin with the engraving of a laughing man with big belly, who was presumed to be the God of Prosperity was valued 100 gilds.

A gold coin, like the ones in my hand with the roaring lions engraving, which was the symbol of Mauryan empire was valued 1000 gilds.

And lastly, the Platinum coin, with the engraving of the Founding emperor's face valued 10000 gilds. There were only few platinum coins in the empire and most are kept as treasures instead being used for business purposes.

To summaries it, I had about 5000 gilds in my pocket.

5000 Gilds!

'I would have to work at least three months as a mercenary to get this much money...'

I didn't realize it in my previous life, but it seems like I was a rich good-for-nothing before the collapse of Pendragon family.

"A cold Almond milk and a chocolate cake please"

Wiping off the embarrassment in my heart, I ordered the things that looked fancy to my eyes.

It has been years since I savored something delicious as I couldn't afford it being a mercenary, but now that I am back to my rick self, I ought to try out some good stuff.

"That will be 110 gilds"

The staff was respectful but I didn't converse with them much as it was none of my business, I just paid for the food and received my food.

The Cafeteria was an enormous place with the capacity to simultaneously seat more than a thousand students, so it didn't take me much effort to find an empty stop and ho[p my food.

As I slid the spoon through soft cake and pushed it into my mouth, happiness flowed down my body.

"yu.....mmy!!"

I took a sip of milk and savored the taste.

The rich dark flavor of the chocolate pastry that goes very well with the badam flavored milk was too good to not savor.

'As I thought, living off your rich family is the best feeling ever.'

"Umm....Excuse me?"

As I was savoring on my food, I heard a voice besides, calling me out.I think you should take a look at

"Hmm...!...Cough! cough!"

As I turned around to see who it is, I almost chocked myself.

"Hey!...Are you alright?"

I immediately took the bottle of milk and jolted it down in a single sip.

"Phew...."

I almost died for the second time while chocking myself!

"Umm...are you okay now?"

That's right! My reason for chocking, it was none other than this bastard's fault!

Zephyr!

The absolute monster of a genius, who became a sword master at the age of 20 and transcended to the realm of One with the Sword at the age of 27.

He was man who killed one of the seven Demon Kings during the demon army invasion, the man nicknamed as the Sword Emperor in my previous life.

He was a peasant boy who managed to get into the Kshatriya class just with his mere talent!

And he achieved all this while being a peasant, having no one to back him up, just imagining his face was angering me!

That's right!

I was furious to see this bastards face, that was because.....

"Can I have a piece of that cake....please?"

That's right! He was incredibly shameless!

Before I could say anything in replay to him, he grabbed the cake in my plate and swallowed it a whole.

"Thaks fos the foos"

He said while the cake still in his mouth and left without letting me say anything!

My rage went up and I was about to burst out....but I calmed down somehow.

This bastard....! Although he was an incredible genius, he had a shit personality. By shitty personality, I didn't mean the way he treated everyone, it was the in which he treated himself.

This bastard ignored everyone around himself and only though of himself, he would do anything if it benefitted him and wouldn't do anything if it didn't have any benefit for me.

And If he were to find a pushover rich boy, he would kiss their ass and spend all their money and leave them with nothing. And I was such a pushover whom he milked in my past life.

My blood boils every time I think about it.

He was my best friend during my academic days.

I treated him well despite him being a peasant, I spent money on this bastards clothes, I bought him good food, I even paid for his entertainment and even after I did all that, he didn't even look at me when I was getting kicked out of the academy.

He was worthless dog...No, even dogs would have loyalty, he was a bastard without any loyalty!

'Just wait you fucker!'

He may the Sword emperor in my previous life, but he was still a lowly brat in this life.

'I'll make sure you experience hell.'
