dimension ring and gives a respectful bow towards them, sweat beading
down his forehead.

 
    “What is going on, Arthur?”   Jarrod is the one that speaks up, making
everyone in the crowd raise an eyebrow in surprise.

 
    “Looks like the Scholar Mage knows someone from
the Student Council.”   “No wonder he
was acting so cocky just now.”   “Pfft.   Did you see him raise
up his arm like he was going to stop the attack with his bare hands?”   Whispers were heard from the crowd
making me roll my eyes.   The
immaturity level of some of these brats continues to astound me.   Even for 12-year-olds, you would think
that children from such influential families would be taught some manners.

 
    “Nah, nothing much happened, although you
should go take a look at that dwarf student lying over there, Boznean I think
that was his name.”   I point over to
the tree where the dwarf was still groaning while clutching his stomach.

 
    Elijah walks towards me hoping to distill the
situation.   “Hi Lilia.   Sorry, we ended up getting caught up in
this little scuffle after the duel between them ended.   No harm done!”   He gives a slight wave at her as he
starts talking while directing his words at Tessia, who still wore a mask of
apathy.

 
    “Still, this student was about to attack you
when a duel wasn’t even issued.   This is a serious offense.”   Lilia stepped up, her gaze a bit sterner as she jotted something on a
notebook she carried around.

 
    While Lilia, Jarrod, and Elijah were talking
about what exactly happened, I felt Tessia’s strong gaze piercing through me,
as if she was expecting me to do something.   Honestly, even with an extended life
experience, I have no confidence in what to do when it comes to these
situations.  

 
    Did she want me to treat her respectfully as
the Student Council President?   Did
she want me to treat her as a childhood friend?   Did she want to keep our past relationship
a secret as a whole?

 
    ‘It’s Mama!’   Sylv ‘kyu’d’ on top of my head and I had
to firmly tell her to stay on my head and not go to her.

 
    Meanwhile, the crowd was getting more and more
rowdy, the males doing the best they can to get a better look at Tessia, hoping
to engrain her image into their memories to use in times of loneliness or
longing.  

 
    “You.   I believed I asked you a question.   Do you dare?”   She takes a
step forward, her eyes boring down on the second year student.   I was thinking that the student was
technically a level higher than Tess, but when I took a look at the ribbon that
was tied neatly underneath her collar, it had two stripes as well.

 
    “N-no.   Of course I would never dare break the rules like that.   Please forgive my earlier actions.   I think I was a bit too hotheaded.”   He bowed even lower to the point that I
felt like he was shrinking.  

 
    “Leave.”   Her eyes continue to look down at him as he shuffles himself a good
distance away before he turns around and runs out of sight, a few of the boys
in the crowd following after him.   Figures.

 
    “And you!   Why are you starting a fight with a senior on the first day of
school?   You should know your
place!   No matter how rowdy he may
have been, he is still your senior and he did not break the rules when dueling
with the other student.   Furthermore, he is a Battle Mage student while you are a Scholar Mage
student.   Did you not pay attention
to my speech about discrimination between the two sects of students here?   Yet, you still chose to interfere,
making these types of problems apparent on the first day?”   She crosses her arms even tighter as she
looks directly at me.   Her face was
a bit flushed in embarrassment but she took it too far with this.

 
    “HAA?”   I couldn’t help but let out an annoyed sound of surprise by her
statement.

 
    I take a step forward this time and I can see
Elijah’s eyes widen as he
