Reborn As Noble-Chapter 160: Unexpected Guests ( )

The instructor clapped his hands to get the class’s attention after the last introduction. "All right, everyone. Before we proceed, I have an important announcement."

The students immediately quieted down, their curiosity piqued.

"There will be an official visit to each class by two individuals: the strongest duo of this academy. They are coming as part of your orientation to inspire and motivate you all. I ask you to behave appropriately and show them the proper respect when they arrive."

The class buzzed with excitement.

"Ohh! Those two?"

"I’ve heard about them—they’re legendary!"

"This is going to be amazing!"

Anticipation filled the room as students whispered excitedly to each other about the upcoming visitors.

Liana, sitting beside Javier at their shared table, noticed his expression change. While enthusiasm spread through the class, Javier’s face soured. His brows furrowed, and he drummed his fingers irritably on the table, as if he had just bitten into something bitter.

She leaned slightly closer to him, her voice soft and teasing. "Young master, could it be that you already know who’s coming?"

Javier let out a low groan, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms. "Tch. Don’t remind me," he muttered, his tone filled with irritation.

Liana tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with humor. Her calm demeanor and polite smile stayed intact, but she couldn’t help but find his reaction amusing. "I see. So it’s someone... important, isn’t it?"

Javier shot her a glare but said nothing, his lips pressing into a thin line.

The excitement in the class only grew louder, with students eagerly chatting about the famous visitors. Meanwhile, Javier stared at the ceiling as if contemplating his life choices, his expression one of pure annoyance.

Liana chuckled softly, adjusting the folds of her dress as she watched him sulk. Clearly, whatever—or whoever—was coming, her young master was dreading the encounter.

The classroom buzzed with excitement as the doors swung open, revealing Marcellus and Cedric Armand, the two most awaited figures of the day. Their presence instantly drew everyone’s attention, and they were followed by the summoned heroes’ party, who carried themselves with an air of importance.

However, the heroes were barely on the students’ minds.

"Kyaaaa! Cedric-sama!"

"Ahhhnn, Marcellus-sama!"

The girls squealed, clasping their hands in admiration, some even swooning at the sight of the Armand brothers.

Marcellus and Cedric, used to the attention, waved charmingly at the class, their smiles radiating practiced nobility. But their eyes were searching the room with purpose.

As the summoned heroes began to introduce themselves, sharing their backgrounds and grand missions, Marcellus and Cedric’s focus subtly shifted. Then they saw her—the elegant elf maid.

Sitting gracefully beside a boy who slouched with a bored expression, the elf maid stood out. Marcellus and Cedric recognized her instantly—Liana, the elf who had been their younger brother Javier’s personal maid since he was a baby. And the boy next to her was ..their little brother, Javier.

Interrupting the heroes mid-speech, Marcellus raised a hand with a charming smile. "Oh, excuse us. Please continue your introduction, heroes."

Without waiting for a reply, both brothers confidently walked to the back of the class, and the room fell silent, all eyes on them.

Murmurs spread through the classroom as students whispered about the brothers’ unexpected move.

"Wait, isn’t that the boy who gave the middle finger earlier?"

"What’s their connection?"

When they reached Javier’s table, Liana stood up gracefully and bowed slightly. "Master Marcellus. Master Cedric."

"Liana," Marcellus greeted with a warm but playful grin. Cedric’s gaze shifted to Javier, his smirk matching his brother’s.

"Well, well," Marcellus said playfully, "look who’s hiding at the back like he doesn’t want to be seen."

"Our little brother," Cedric added, leaning in with a smirk. "Still causing trouble, I bet."

Javier sighed, looking up at them with annoyance. "What do you two want now?"

They leaned in closer, lowering their voices.

"You got money?" Cedric whispered, grinning mischievously. "Help your brothers out here."

"Ehehehe," Marcellus chimed in, unable to hide his sheepish smile.

Javier glared at them, clearly fed up. "Tch! Again? You two are supposed to be the big shots. Why are you always broke?"

Marcellus chuckled. "Come on, don’t be like that. Help your beloved brothers out. Pleaseee?"

Cedric nodded eagerly. "Yeah, just a little. We’ll owe you."

Javier groaned, reaching into his coat with a reluctant expression. "Fine. But you better not ask again for a while." He pulled out a pouch of gold and tossed it to Cedric, who caught it midair with a grin.

"You’re the best, little bro!" Cedric exclaimed, his tone dripping with gratitude.

"We’ll pay you back. Eventually," Marcellus added, though Javier noticed he was avoiding eye contact.

Javier pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering, "Yeah, right.Just dont cause trouble for me."

"Oho... Someone was talking about us causing trouble," Marcellus said, his grin growing wider. He turned to Cedric with a knowing look. "But isn’t there a certain someone who mocked a certain princess earlier today?"

Cedric smirked. "Oh yeah, I heard about that. I wonder who that could’ve been."

Javier, now fully slumped over his desk, groaned in frustration. "Haaa... She started it."

Beside him, Liana stood composed, her lips curling into a faint, knowing smile.

Marcellus and Cedric turned to Javier with matching smug expressions, holding up the gold pouch he had reluctantly given them earlier.

"Well then, consider this," Cedric said, shaking the pouch dramatically, "as payment for the ’help’ we’ll provide to clean up your little mess."

"Haaa..." Javier exhaled dramatically, burying his face in his arms. "I knew you’d pull something like this."

Marcellus then focused on Liana, his grin softening into something more genuine. "Liana?"

Liana inclined her head gracefully. "Yes, Master Marcellus?"

"Did Father leave anything for us?" he asked, his tone hopeful.

Liana nodded. "Yes, Master Marcellus, Master Cedric. Here." She retrieved two pouches filled with gold coins from a hidden compartment in her apron and handed them over.

"Yes! Party time tonight!" Cedric cheered, holding the pouch high like a trophy.

Javier raised his head, resting his chin on his palm with a tired look. "Why don’t you two just come home if you want a drink? You know we’ve got plenty of good stuff in the cellar."

Both brothers froze for a moment, grimacing at the thought.

"Huh? You know how Father is…" Cedric began, crossing his arms. "Strict, serious, always watching our every move…"

Marcellus nodded, his expression mirroring Cedric’s. "Exactly. Besides, we’re on a mission—you know, helping these ’summoned heroes’ level up. It was a request from the king himself."

Javier narrowed his eyes, glancing at the group of heroes standing awkwardly at the front of the classroom. "Haaaa… Really…" he murmured, observing them closely. "So these are the summoned heroes, huh? Hmm… I wonder if any of them are from Japan." His sharp eyes scanned their features, noticing most looked like they were from western lands.

"All of them are summoned heroes? For what?" Javier asked casually.

"Hmm? I don’t know, lil’ bro," Cedric replied with a shrug. "We’re just working here. You know how it is."

Marcellus chuckled and added, "Yeah, yeah. It’s our job to make sure they don’t die before they actually do anything important."

Javier raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice to a whisper. "You mean, you both do all the monster-killing while they just stand around for the finishing blows, right?"

Both brothers flinched at the accuracy of his statement, quickly motioning for Javier to keep his voice down.

"Shh! Don’t say that out loud!" Cedric whispered urgently, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Marcellus, recovering quickly, leaned closer with a grin. "We’re just… you know… ’guiding’ them."

"Right," Javier muttered, leaning back in his chair with an unimpressed look. "Some ’guides’ you are."

Liana placed a gentle hand on Javier’s shoulder. "Young Master, perhaps it’s best not to antagonize your brothers too much."

Javier sighed. "Fine, fine. But you two better not come begging for gold again anytime soon."

Cedric and Marcellus exchanged cheeky smiles but said nothing, clearly planning to ignore that last statement.
