After lessons, Albert always leaves the classroom in a hurry.
But not today.
'Albert.?
'What is it? Elias."
"Let's settle this. We're gonna end this. Or are you afraid of me? You're the one who's avoiding me."
Until now, I didn't try to incite Albert to a fight.
But that's not something I could even say.
I can't allow Albert's arrogance to go any further.
He unnecessarily hurts his opponents in magic matches and scares the students around him by bringing a lot of people with him.
'What the ......? I'm scared of you? Are you kidding me?"
Albert-sama isn't scared of you!"
'Yes, Elias-sama. Albert-sama, the supreme being of this world, would never be frightened of someone like you."
The man who is always with Albert, Hagen and Franz, was waiting for him outside the classroom.
They are not from Class S.
They are always waiting for Albert after he finishes his classes.
"'It's none of your business."
They're just cronies and have nothing to do with us and our cause, so I get angry when they talk to me.
'What!
'We are Albert-sama's faction. There's no way we're not related to it."
'Wait, you guys. Elias, I understand. I'll accept your challenge."
'Oh, come on, Albert-sama, are you okay with this?"
"Yes, there's no need for you to get involved with people like this, Albert-sama."
"Don't worry, guys. I won't lose."
The time has finally come.
It's time to end this long feud.
"But I have a condition."
"What?"
Is there something else at this point? ......
"As I recall, your sister, Fiona... If she and Franz fight, and if she wins, I'll take the fight."
This is .......
He's got me right where it hurts.
I thought I'd finally be able to end this.
I thought I could finally settle it, but I can't put Fiona in danger.
"I'm sorry, Albert. I can't accept that..."
"Good, I'll accept that match."
Fiona interrupted me and accepted the match on her own.
'Oh, hey, Fiona?"
Don't worry, brother. I've always been interested in magic matches. I'm going to win brilliantly, so you should win too."
What is Fiona thinking?
It's too optimistic.
"The magic match isn't a joke. If it turns out terrible, you could lose your life, you know?"
"Oh, I'm not joking either. If I don't get hit by an opponent, I won't die, right?"
"That's true, but ......"
It's decided. Franz, can you do it?
"Yes! I'd be happy to do it if it's on Master Albert's life."
"Damn it, Albert, you'll keep your word!"
"Yeah, if the girl wins. Well, it's impossible. Ha-ha-ha-ha!'
He's going after Fiona, who's a newbie in magic.
I can't allow it.
I grabbed Fiona's arm and brought her to an area without people around.
'Ouch, it hurts, brother."
'I'm sorry. But why did you accept the match? I'm worried about you, Fiona, and I don't want you to fight ......."
"There's no one around. Elias, I'm trying to protect you."
"'Protect me? I'm not a weak person to be protected. Fiona may not know this, but I'm first in my year at middle school."
"I know."
"Then why?"
"Because you're scared Elias".
'I do? Why is it ?"
'You are not afraid of getting hurt yourself, Elias. But you are abnormally afraid that your friends will get hurt. 'They are not so weak. Mira, Ilsa, Anna, Hannah and Harriet. I think you look down on them, That's why you are more scared than you should be. They are self-sufficient people. They don't need to be protected by Elias in a weird way. They can protect themselves."
'You've hit a nerve. I'd like to deny that I'm looking down on them, but being more scared than I should be, maybe I am. I'm scared of someone getting hurt. Fiona's only been here for a short time, but you know a lot.'
'Your kindnessi is ... I like that about you Elias - no, it's nothing. I won't lose. Watch me, Elias."
"Yeah, Fiona. You're going to win."
"Yes, brother. Shall we go?"
"Yeah, sure".
I take my hat off to her for this change of attitude.
There's a part of me that's saved by Fiona's optimism.
I want to win the match and have another silly conversation with her.
