So far, Radmilo had gotten no effect after using his skills. He would only lose his magic energy when using the skills. That was why he secretly regathered his magic energy while at the evacuation site.
Radmilo always thought the skill that could control time was too great. It seemed weird that the compensation for using such an impressive skill was only magic energy. Still, he could not find the effect of using the skill even after researching it for a long time.
"Excuse me. Can we talk?"
Radmilo looked to the side to see Dianella, who had just spoken to him. He raised an eyebrow as he replied, "Yes, you can. What did you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm just bored and have no one to talk to," answered Dianella, making everyone in the room struck dumb.
Did the girl not realize that many people wanted to talk to her in this room? She was weird for talking to an ordinary man. Whereas some time ago Ellery, the nephew of the Golden Wattle guild master, had just entered the room and sat beside her.
The people thought Dianella would be more suitable to converse with Ellery. The two of them both had ties to a large guild. If Dianella and Ellery were talking at this point, then at least the people in the room could get gossip.
Radmilo, who noticed several people were staring at him with annoyance, could only exhale slowly. "I'm sorry. I thought I couldn't talk to you," he said.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Dianella asked, pretending to be confused, even though she knew Radmilo was uncomfortable with attention from other people.
"It's because I'm nervous. I'm afraid of messing up this test and failing to get into the guild."
"I understand how you feel. If you're nervous, try to control your breathing. It always brings me back to my senses."
The conversation between Dianella and Radmilo had caught Ellery's attention ever since. Honestly, he felt offended that Dianella ignored him at all. He deliberately took today's test schedule out of curiosity about the daughter of the Smith Family.
It turned out that Dianella Smith was a girl who had no manners. Ellery clenched his fists, thinking that Dianella was looking down on the Golden Wattle guild. The girl became arrogant just because her family's guild became popular.
"I sincerely apologize for interrupting your conversation," Ellery finally spoke while patting Dianella on the shoulder. When the girl turned her head, he immediately smiled and continued, "Can you lower your voice? It bothers me."
"What do you mean, my voice annoys you? I've never shouted. People are also chatting in the same voice as me. Then why don't you criticize them?" Dianella rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"That's because they're far from where I'm sitting. So I'm not bothered by their voices. It's different because you're sitting right next to me."
"Pardon? You sat next to me yourself. Why don't you just move if my voice bothers you? Even though the other people sitting near me didn't protest."
"I'm sure they're annoyed too, but they don't dare to say it."
The people in the room who were originally bored from waiting for the guide suddenly turned excited. They were grateful that Ellery was willing to start a fight. That way, they would get an interesting show before the guide arrived.
Unfortunately, Dianella noticed people's reactions and chose not to continue the debate. "Then I'll move to another chair," she said, standing up.
"Why should I fulfill your request? It's obvious that you're deliberately provoking my emotions."
"You seem to have misunderstood. I had no intention of doing that."
The people in the room waited eagerly for what would happen. Radmilo was an exception, as he had no interest in the conflict between the Golden Wattle and the Tasmanian Devil guild. Nonetheless, over time, his patience ran out because of Ellery and Dianella arguing.
"You all bastards," Radmilo cursed, causing everyone to stare in shock. He ignored that and immediately grabbed Ellery's hand. "Could you shut your mouth? Your voice crushing my ears if you don't know."
"W-what? How can y-you talk to me like that?" Ellery unconsciously stuttered. He suddenly felt goosebumps because Radmilo's grip was so strong.
"I can talk because I have a mouth. That is basic knowledge," said Radmilo as he pushed away Ellery's hand, which was still gripping Dianella earlier.
Meanwhile, Dianella woke up from her shock and had a little admiration for Radmilo. At first, she asked the man to talk because she wanted to see his reaction. She was very curious because the man did not pay attention to her like other people.
"It turns out that you are a true gentleman. You dared to fight when you saw Ellery bothering me, even though you know you are not a powerful person," Dianella praised with a sweet smile.
Instead of being flattered by the compliment, Radmilo gave a gloomy look. He glanced at Dianella and then said, "You misunderstood. I didn't fight this man because of you."
"Huh? Then why did you do it, if not for me?" Dianella frowned in surprise.
"That's because I'm distracted. You're just as noisy as this guy. Why don't you use your mouth for something else?"
"S-something else?"
"Like kissing, for example."
Dianella gasped with a blushed face from holding in the embarrassment and anger. She felt harassed because Radmilo had suddenly said something like that. "You...! Did you know that you've been perverted to me?" she asked, or perhaps accused.
"What are you talking about?" Radmilo stood up from his chair so he could grab Dianella's hair. A moment later, he banged the girl's face against the chair. "I haven't finished my sentence yet. What I mean is you can use your mouth to kiss the chair instead of saying nonsense."
The incident happened so fast that no one could stop it. Moreover, people never expected that Radmilo would do such a thing to Dianella. They were sure that the man had lost his mind for attacking the Smith family's daughter.
