Chapter XCIX - The Trial

Paul ran up to Marcus. His frame was excessively frail compared to the other students. His shorter, petite stature and innocent face coupled him into being the proverbial punching bag for the rest of the squad.

Damian did not put an end to the hazing from his students as the boy's lack of ability needed to be pushed into manifesting. Marcus surveyed Paul and felt like wincing at the monumental task before him.

"Greetings Paul, I am Viscount Nobody." Marcus said as he extended his hand out to the young boy. Paul briefly panicked before bowing fiercely to the noble in front of him.

"I am honored to meet you, Viscount Nobody!" Paul yelled towards the ground as he remained in his position.

"Paul, straighten your back and look into the eyes of someone whose station is above your own." Damian barked as the boy shot up and stood at attention.
