In an office at the tallest tower of Kryoris Academy, someone entered to speak with the school's head. She faced the old man, who raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that the woman had brought some trouble.
"Report," he said, and the woman bowed, handing over a spreadsheet with some reports. He began reading and quickly gave an order, and she started talking.
"A boy had both his arms forcibly ripped off during the line after a disagreement. Moreover, the boy who tore off his arms even threatened to kill him." The woman, an Elf dressed as a nurse, reported to the older man in a white suit and cape.
"Just give that boy who lost his arms a suspension," he said, and the Elf was incredulous at his order.
"What do you mean?! He lost both arms, Director! Why is he being punished?" She said, furious.
"First, he bullied the weaker ones. This girl who reported it had previously reported his actions, but no one took her seriously. Second, his arrogance led him to offend someone who shouldn't be offended, in addition to his lack of manners with the freshmen. Third, look at the description of the boy who tore off his arms." He said, and the Elf looked closely; did she miss something?
"Red eyes, black hair down to the waist, accompanied by a girl with blue hair..." The Elf looked again and glanced at the Director.
"Scarlet and Vortex, do I need to say what that means? Unfortunately, we can't interfere in this case, not out of fear of Valentina, but as we were requested. Matters of this level must be handled by the students themselves.
Reverse the boy's physical condition and instruct him not to cause trouble for himself by insisting on foolish revenge," the Director said, and the Elf swallowed hard, almost crying. 'Why do I have to deal with these problems?'
'He... is really her son?' The Elf wondered as if talking about a calamity.
"But Director, are you sure you won't give any punishment to this young man? He'll think he's immune to everything he does; this could be dangerous," she said, and she was indeed right. The Director then calmly commented:
"Tell Dante Scarlet not to kill anyone without an adequate reason unless he claims to be in a relationship with Sara Vortex; calling a man's lover a whore justifies death." The Director said, remembering something that made him smile.
"Director... why are you like this?" She sighed lightly. 'Why did I agree to help you, my queen? What did I do so wrong to receive such punishment? I thought we were friends... Geez...'
The Elf was going through a difficult time in her life, and it was only just beginning.

"ATCHUMMMM!" Dante sneezed, and then a cute sneeze was heard. "Atchinn!" Dante looked to the side and saw Sara wiping her nose.
"Are you caught a cold?" He asked. "You sneezed first, idiot," Sara said.
Dante looked at the blue sky and had a quick thought. "They must be talking about us," he said aloud.
Sara also looked at the sky and replied, "Probably, we made quite a scene back there." They looked at each other and laughed like great friends.
"Look, it seems they're getting ready to start the ceremony," Sara said, seeing some students arriving, including those two who were with the boy Dante crippled a few minutes ago; they had scared expressions on their faces.
"You traumatized them," Sara said, watching both walking as if they were in constant danger.
"It's your fault," Dante replied lightly, but before the conversation could continue...
"Make a single line in front of the central building; the entrance ceremony is mandatory!" An assistant with a badge said, and most students went; however...
"They're afraid of you," Sara said, laughing while looking at some girls watching and keeping their distance from Sara and Dante, basically clearing the way between them.
"You got it wrong, princess," Dante replied, and Sara was confused, and Dante said, "They're afraid of you," and fell silent.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked, confused.
"What do you think people would say if a man like me protected a princess so brutally?" Dante said with a smile. "Welcome to the bottom of the pit, my dear roommate. Everyone now thinks you're crazy and scary HAHAHAHA," Dante said, laughing like a light novel villain, and Sara was speechless, just looking at Dante and ended up bursting into laughter.
"Hahahaha, you bastard, I'm going to kill you," she laughed along with him.
"You can try," Dante said. "But will you endure it when I get a spear?" Dante said with a smile.
Sara's smile broke; she only realized now... He was using a sword... but he matched her, and... his mother wasn't a spear grandmaster... He trained with a sword grandmaster by his side? He was holding back much more than she thought.
"You have a long way to catch up, little one," Dante said laughing, and then those two teachers appeared.
'This bastard keeps mocking me!' She roared internally.
