I Became the Demon King of Lust

"Who do you think we are?" The black haired young man then asked.

I couldn't help looking at him with a strange look when I heard this.

The look on his face almost seemed like he was proud of himself, like he thought that he was acting tough.

It was the same for the others that had surrounded us.

It was clear that they were thinking that they were acting tough even though all they did was embarrass themselves by asking this.

The question that they asked didn't make sense at all, it just showed how immature this young man was.

When I looked more closely, I found that all of the people that were surrounding us were all young.

They all seemed like they were just in their teens, like they had just awakened their powers.

Seeing this, I shook my head before saying in a calm voice, "I don't know who you are, but I don't want any trouble."

"Trouble? Oh, I'll tell you when there's trouble." This black haired young man suddenly said.

Once again, all of the others surrounding us revealed smug looks like what he had said was threatening.

But it just made me think of a kid trying to act tough when I saw him like this.

Once again, I calmly said, "We just want to get through and you're blocking our way. If possible, can you please move out of the way?"

The black haired young man gave a snort before saying, "Now you're giving us orders? Do you even put us in your eyes at all?"

I just said with a sigh, "I didn't give you an order, I just simply asked if you could move aside."

The black haired young man just looked right at me and said, "And if I don't, what will you do?"

I shook my head once more before saying, "I won't do anything. I'll just wait for you to finish whatever business you have with me and then be on my way."

It was clear that he was trying to cause trouble, so the best thing that I could do in this situation was not rise to the provocation. I would just let him do what he wanted and leave once he was satisfied.

The black haired young man acted like he didn't hear this as he said, "My name? You want to know my name? How could you not already know my name?"

"That's right, you tell him!"

"How could he not know the famous Black Flame Dragon?"

"He's just pretending to be cool!"

The others around us all cheered on this black haired young man, which made the proud look on his face even more prideful.

After listening to them cheer him on for a bit, the black haired young man said, "I am Kaito, the Black Flame Dragon! I am the hope of Elementia for the new generation, the one that will become the next guild master!"

He even took a pose when he said this…

After his voice fell, the four kids of our group knitted their brows as they looked at him. With this look on their faces, it was as if they were taking him seriously.

It was only Long Shui Ling and I who looked at him with strange looks.

Long Shui Ling might have seemed younger than everyone here, but she was actually older than me. She was a proper adult, so she didn't get sucked into his pace like the others.

The way that she looked at him…almost seemed like she was pitying him.

As for me…I felt very strange when I saw him acting this way.

I didn't feel pity for him or get angered by his words. Instead, all I felt was cringe when I saw him acting this way.

That was because seeing him act this way stirred up a few deep memories that I had wanted to keep buried deep inside of me. When I saw him act this way, those memories that I had locked away came up…

They were the memories of me when I had been in middle school, when I had acted a certain way.

Seeing him act this way really made me want to fold myself in half and die of cringe.

But he said it all so naturally like he wasn't embarrassed at all.

Even his friends all seemed like they were very enthusiastic about this, like they fully supported him even though he was doing something this embarrassing.

When it was over, he pointed his finger at me and said, "Do you know who I am now?"

I would have laughed, but I really couldn't laugh when I saw him like this.

Luckily, Su Chen was with me, so he came over with a tablet and showed me something.

It was the profile of this young man that called himself the Black Flame Dragon…

He was an Awakener that had been recruited recently into Elementia, though he did join before I did. He had been here for a few months and he actually had quite the impressive record when it came to clearing dungeons.

Then Su Chen showed me the profiles for the rest of the people here.

These people were in the same party or in parties that worked with this young man who called himself Black Flame Dragon.

They also had quite the impressive dungeon clearing record.

But the only thing that I could take note of was their age.

All of them seemed like they were quite young, having awakened naturally before their awakening ceremony or having awakened in their first awakening ceremony.

They were completely different from me, they were true geniuses.

But then again, they had been recruited by Elementia, so it would be strange if they weren't geniuses.

Seeing him look at me with that smug look on his face, I couldn't help shaking my head and giving a sigh.

It really hurt me seeing him like this…

However, I now knew the reason why he was acting this way.

And I knew the best way to deal with someone like him.
