Historia and Zia flinched in gazing at Aaris's back,
"Aaris, I know you care about her, but she is no longer a comrade, she betrayed us, she even tried to kill you." Historia raised her chin and shouted…
While Melvi was just looking at Aaris marching to her, with a stern will and a warm smile.
– Melvi - PoV –
'That's right, I tried to kill you! I betrayed you! I put all of your lives in danger!
Why are you looking at me like that?
Why are you smiling?
Why did you even come back?!' My mind couldn't get rid of these thoughts, I was clenching my fist and hiding my gaze from him,
Please don't come here! I am no less than a scum who killed their teammates, I lost my right to live the moment you shed blood because of me!
There is no need to save me!
I couldn't help but cry and bite my lips, I wanted to scream but couldn't,
When you all were ambushed, I decided at that moment, I will give up on everything,
Honor,
Dignity,
Dreams,
Friendship,
I looked at him and saw him still walking at me,
Love, I had given up everything to save her!
I needed to save her, if I couldn't I would've died anyway!
So, why?
Why do you want to save me, why? Rise?
"Ah! This is getting boring! You know I don't like overconfidence kid, an ant shouldn't dream of hollow earth after cutting a grass stem, well if it's your death wish then, I'll make it quick for you!
Jeremy, Bria go test your-" The duke was glaring at him with his horrendous smile, but his son walked in front of him,
"Father! Please let me handle this one, you see it's kinda hurt my pride after seeing him alive!" Roschart threw his coat on the ground and started walking at him….
Yet, Rise isn't stopping too! No this can't be happening!
"Ahaha! What? Really, you shouldn't let these bugs get you, but I want to know how much these two have risen up in power, so I wanted to test them on him, also he doesn't seem like an ordinary kid, I want him alive."
The duke nodded and three of them started treading toward him,
Captain, please stop him, take him away.
"Rise! Have you gone mad? She deceived us, whatever the reason was, she lied to us! How can you forgive her?" Captain yelled and pulled his face to her,
***
"Aren't I doing the same? I am a criminal in the face of the kingdom if anybody knows who I really am, I will get executed in no time-" Aaris held Historia's hand and freed himself but Historia wasn't ready to listen to him.
"It's different! You are innocent! They don't know the truth! They never even gave you a chance…to…let you…explain…"
Historia lowered her gaze clenching her fist, she was feeling her own words, her steps stopped and he couldn't think of any reason to stop Rise anymore.
"No matter what you try, you can't save her, even if she can make out of here, Esnair and Ovyrus will charge her for treason and attempted murder,"
Historia mumbled under her breath, she felt her heart sinking down.
"Captain, I know it's hard but trust me! I know a way to save her, but then you have to believe in me, and please let me fight alone then!" Aaris straightened his back,
Historia couldn't move her eyes from it, she prepared herself and turned to Styrmir and Zia,
"Head to the sideline!"
"But captain!"
"Zia, forgiving her or not it's choice for everyone, you decided not to, and he wants to, so let him be, this isn't our fight, for now, if he dies that his own choice, now let's move!" Historia vanished in a flash and Styrmir followed her.
Still, Zia can't make herself to leave him,
"Why are you being like this? I want to save her too, but when I think about what she did to us, it's hard to trust her again! If you act naive like this, everybody will take you for granted!
Are you really prepared to die for her?"
"Hey! I never said I am going to die for her, and don't misunderstand if something happens to you, I won't die for you either, but if when you need my help, even if you can't ask for it, I will come back alive even if I am in the depths of hell, so will you believe me for the first time?"
Aaris spoke and Zia just clicked her tongue and leaped to Historia and Styrmir.
"Isn't he persistent?" Historia chuckled when Zia stood beside her,
"I couldn't care less about that pervert!" Zia turned her gaze away from him.

"You talk too much!" Roschart leaped at him, landing a strong blow in his face, he was blown into the air for a while before hitting the ground.
"Rise!" Zia shouted and Styrmir raised her hand in front of her,
"He won't die! Don't worry!"
Aaris raised his hand back again and stood up again, and started walking to Melvi with wide a grin,
"Melvi! I told you, I won't fight back, you want to know why? I'll tell you if you tell me,
If we would have won this fight, what would you want to do after then?"
"What are you saying?" Melvi and everybody were looking at him, completely stunned.
"What the hell are you going about? You really think you would have defeated us?" Roschart raised his hand and Jeremy disappeared, he was standing behind Aaris with his huge fist above him.
'Please run!' Melvi was looking at him, the terror she felt after seeing Jeremy's speed and strength, she couldn't help but tremble.
Jeremy landed his fist and created a huge crater on the land, the impact was already destructive enough that hollowed nobles fell on the ground, the rest fell with his mana pressure.
Jeremy jumped back behind Roschart, they were staring at the rising mist and dirt from the ground, but Roschart's smile faded when he saw Aaris standing up shaking on his feet.
"Tell me Melvi what would you have done? If you ask me, I would've gotten a nice serving of that Ramen dish! Man, that was tasty!" He started walking to her again,
"Hoho, you amuse kid, now Bria, show me how strong you have gotten." Selvis raised his hand, and Bria quietly raised her hand at him, her words were meek but she could've chanted it.
And in mere moments many explosive magus circles appeared around him,
"Rise! Please run!"
and she snapped her fingers and an enormous explosion with flame clouds scorched everything around him.
"Rise!" Zia shouted and Historia was flinching,
"This should be enough!" Clove spoke with a confident smirk and Selvis shrugged,
"Guess she overdid it…alright Roschart, take those nobles too-"
"But you know, there is also a book in the academy library, I would've read that first!" Aaris walked out of that flame cloud, with a scratch.
Leaving everyone in awe, the smile faded from both father and son faces and their veins started popping out,
"Roschart, I want to crush down every bone in him!" Selvis yelled, and all three of them ganged on him,
"Heeiii…three against one, can't say you guys have real balls or not, well one of you is a girl so-" Jeremy started pummeling, Roschart also covered his fist in crystal and pounced on every opening.
Meanwhile, Bria was bombarding every inch of the ground Aaris tried to touch, the scene was cruel, Historia couldn't bear to look at it.
The ground was trembling, the heat was rising up, the sounds of the blast were so loud the unconscious nobles covered their ears and screeched.
Many of them were shredded because of the shockwaves of the explosions and impacts.
"Stop! You are overdoing it! You are wasting fodder!" Selvis sighed, he was sure that Rise won't stand up again and three of them backed off after destroying the land into churns and amber.
"Rise!" Melvi screamed, she screamed until her voice broke, everyone's gaze moved to her, and Historia's teary eyes turned to her,
"What are you doing? Sympathy for an enemy? Did you forget about your sister?" Roschart turned to her with a pissed look,
"Rise! Answer me! Are you alright! Tell me! Answer me Rise!" Melvi was screaming and weeping, Selvis started walking to her slowly,
"Guess, I need to turn you into a corpse too, we don't deal with emotional fools here!"
"This isn't the answer, Melvi!" Aaris's voice came out from the smoke, covered in blood and wobbling legs, he was still smiling at her…
"What in the world are you!" Roschart screamed and jumped at him,
Melvi was looking at him, while Selvis's hand was reaching her, he was triggered now and was lashing in anger,
"This brat! I'll make sure you die by her hands now!"
'Why? Why did you stand up? Is my answer enough to keep you alive? What do I want to do if we win? What will I do?
"Die!" Roschart created a huge spare aiming at him,
"Melvi!" Aaris screamed and Melvi raised her gaze,
"I want to, I want to, I want to walk with you once!" She screamed with tears and Selvis was a bit away from her, but his hand stopped before he could touch her.
"What the-"
Aaris was slowly walking to Melvi, and Zia, Styrmir, and Historia was still rubbing their hands in sweat,
"Captain, trust me I'll be fine!" Aaris turned
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Historia and Zia flinched in gazing at Aaris's back,
