Chapter 14 - Dalton Von Rozental

"Dalton Von Rozental...?....Why is he here''

Grant Ballard, the report that was waiting for Eren in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering.

Dalton von Rozental, the 6th son of the Rozental Family, although not as popular as his other siblings, he was quite a popular person.

Dalton is a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Rozental's being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for the Rozental Family.

'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of the Toyboy!'

It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Eren Rozental, the one who was famous as the toy boy of the Rozental family would be participating in next Awakener's association exam for registering himself as a Hunter.

Even though Eren is considered a worthless dog by the Rozentals, the World nonetheless deemed him as a part of Rozentals, so it was natural that any news about them would be trending.

Reporter Grant thought that it would be a major headline about his awakening, but seeing as the 6th son of the Rozental's was also there, it didn't seem like Eren would get any attention from the media.

"Seeing as how they are talking it doesn't seem to be just an attention-seeking act, what is the matter, John?"

Reporter Grant asked his cameraman who was standing beside him.

"Apparently, it seems like the appearance of another irregular!!"

'Irregular!'

Report Grant exclaimed as he heard his words,

Irregular.

An awakened person who got awakened with more than one special skill.

If nothing unexpected happened, then he would be a Hunter with tremendous growth and power. They were so rare to the point that there were only 10 Irregulars so far in the country among which only seven were combatants, so if there appeared another Irregular in the country then the attention of the whole nation would obviously shift there.

"Why don't we have information about such a huge matter then?"

The matter of Rozental's toyboy's awakening was definitely a scoop but compared to the appearance of a new irregular, it was just a gossiping matter.

"Apparently, it was revealed that he was an Irregular only after his examination this morning and more than that, both his special skills don't seem to have anything to do with combat or anything related to dungeons"

"Then...?" Reporter Grantasked him.

"He was awakened with skills called 'Animal speech' and 'Nurture', both of which are deemed ineffective on monsters, all he could do was to rear some domestic animals, We also got a call this morning about the news, but it was disregarded as it doesn't seem to make any scoop"

He patiently explained the news to the reporter Grant.

"Then why is the 6th son of the Rozentals here?"

He was still stuck in the same question about the appearance of Dalton von Rozental.

"It seems like he came here immediately after hearing the news about the appearance of Irregular to recruit him, you do know how fierce the Rozentals are when it comes to dominating new talents, right? but he gave up that thought seeing his abilities were useless and was just returning"

Now the whole thing made sense.

Whatever may happen, the scoop about Rozental's toyboy's awakening still seemed to be the hottest news. So naturally, he was happy.

"There he comes, Eren Rozental!"

Someone among the group shouted as a luxurious car was parked not far from them.

The driver came out first and opened the back door, from there descended a man with dirty bloon hair and a handsome face.

'Damn bastards! He is at least a five..no ten times better looking than that bastard standing amist the crowd'

He thought seeing Eren getting out of the car while comparing him with the Dalton von rozental.

Eren already got the gist of the things just a minute after he arrived there.

'Should I also announce myself as an Irregular?', He thought for a movement as that would be the best way to make his father-in-law turn around to look at him.

'Well, it would be more effective if the association announce it'

He thought as he imagined the surprised face that his beloved Julia would make when she found that out.

'Too bad I couldn't see it.'

Thinking so he strode towards the association entrance.

"So the reason he was here was that he wanted to recruit the new Irregular to his faction?"

He asked in a low voice still smiling at the cameras that were taking his pictures.

"He initially came here for that purpose but now that the mentioned Irregular is useless, he withdrew his offer and is returning now"

Scarlet explained what she learned in the short movement that they came down from the car.

"hmm...Ircus"

He stopped for a movement and called out to Ircus who was standing beside the car.

Ircus, as soon as he heard him, went running towards him, "Yes, Master"

"Find the Irregular that was registered today and invite him to our House"

He instructed him before continuing to walk, Now that he had some means to check out the status of a person, it wouldn't be too bad to look at it himself, who knows he may have some hidden talents or information.

'...it wouldn't hurt to see once.'

Thinking so, he was about to ignore the 6th son standing among reporters when he heard a call.

"Oh, my! Brother-in-law! you are here too"

Dalton von Rozental smiled broadly as he called out Eren. The voice was kind and filled with pleasant touch, if anyone who didn't know about them, could misunderstand that they were so close, which was the furthest away from truth.

In response to his call, Eren who was originally planning to ignore him gave a fake smile, and Scarlet who was beside Eren frowned.

There was a reason why she frowned like that!

It was because the one who constantly humiliated Eren and even beat him up sometimes(Yep! that bastard in the first chapter) was none other than him, Dalton von Rozental, the sixth son of the Rozentals.
