Kindness of the Fierce Beauty (1)
Michael knew that Frederik was strong, but his intelligence and personality were questionable.
He was already in a bad mood because the Barbaric Couple was once again around to annoy him once again. Michael could tell that Julian Spinne must have heard them gossip about him, which is why the young, skinny man approached him with bad intentions.
Julian Spinne was not important to him, but the Barbaric Couple felt like a parasite. The first time he came across them was at the House of Witchery. Michael could accept their actions in the House of Witchery because he had received many benefits from interfering in their lover's spat.
But their attitude during the aptitude assessment was truly annoying. They were not weak, by any means, but the Barbaric Couple was just too full of themselves, bad-tempered, and looked down at their opponents.
