To think there are those that would mess up Night Raven College, a place where mages gather, all for the sake of a photo.
Just what compels them to go to such lengths for a single joyful photo?

 Lilia

I would be hard-pressed to give you an answer. This has little to do with race and is rather an issue of one's own sense of values as an individual.
It isn't good to cause trouble for others, but we cannot criticize the act of finding something important.
However, it is a fact that what we deem important is different to what the Magicam Monsters deem important.
And so, we clash.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Hmm. That which we find important…
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
We place importance on such drastically different things.
I'm sure Diasomnia's venue is in a bit of a state itself.
Now, let us hurry and be off.
|
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
You insolent fools!
Anyone who dares defile Diasomnia in turn defiles Lord Malleus…
I will forgive no more of your insolence!
|
Man A
|
He's so loud. Even the air around him is vibrating.
|
Man B
|
Yo, mister. You're standing all straight and you look super cool, but man, you're funny! You'd definitely go viral.
|
Man C
|
Let us take a picture! Oh, a video, too.
|
*snap!*
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
You utter wretches! Didn't I just tell you to put away your phones?!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
You see? What did I tell you?
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Sebek… Did you inherit your hot-headedness from your grandfather?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
*gasp* Y-Young Master! And Master Lilia, as well.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I apologize that you had to witness such an embarrassing display.
I have told him many times that shouting will not solve the problem, but…
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
You're too naïve, Silver!
I will displace these humans immediately. Please wait a moment!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Leave it. Stand down.
…You tourists over there.
|
Men
|
Hm?
|
Man A
|
Wait, wait, huh? Is that…Malleus Draconia, from Briar Valley?!
|
Man B
|
H-Holy crap. He's exactly as he looked on the livestream of the magift tournament! He's really at Night Raven College!
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Hmph. Even the most ignorant of humans know Lord Malleus's illustrious name, it appears.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
How about we have a little conversation?
Were you never taught to conform to the customs of the land you are in?
No matter what you think, or what you like, that in and of itself is not evil. I have no intentions of criticizing you for that.
But the moment you stepped foot onto this campus, you should have been following the rules in place.
They may be a little restricting, and it may be simple to break them, but rules must be followed. Is that not common courtesy?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Ohh, what humbling words! There is simply no way such words could not resonate with them!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Mmhm. Lord Malleus is speaking so politely, and directly to them, at that.
I'm sure this will convince them.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
…Hm?
The humans look strange.
|
Man A
|
*whisper*
|
Man B/C
|
*whisper* *whisper whisper*
|
Men
|
*stare*
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Why are you staring at me?
Are the fae such a rare sight?
|
Man A
|
Waheeeeeeeeeeey!
|
*tap!*
|
 Silver & Sebek
Silver & Sebek 
|
Wha?!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Are my eyes deceiving me...?
A human just touched Lord Malleus' arm…like it was nothing!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
…
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Even Lord Malleus is surprised…
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
…! …!? …!!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
And Sebek is just speechless.
Do those humans intend to bring harm to him?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Such riff-raff would struggle to leave even a scratch on Malleus, so I'm not particularly worried about him, but…
what in the world are they thinking?
|
Man A
|
Yaaaay! Draconia Challenge complete!
|
All
|
Draconia Challenge?
|
Man B
|
Malleus Draconia, wielder of such powerful magic that everyone quivers upon seeing him!
Taking a photo of touching it is practically a legendary feat.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
"It"…?
|
Man A
|
Only the most bravest of brave challenge it! A test of courage with no cheating allowed. We call it, the "Draconia Challenge"!
No way this wouldn't go viral, right?!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
A test of courage…?
|
Man B
|
*whistle* I was shaking in my boots just watching you! My hands are covered in sweat.
|
Man C
|
That was amazing. Did I take the picture properly?
|
Man A
|
I'm gonna treasure this photo for life. Big thanks, Malleus!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
…I see.
I now understand very well just what you all treasure. You prioritize a single moment of excitement over your life, is that it?
Fine. In that case, it is only right that I…
|
*boom!*
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
…grant you the most exciting moment of your lives!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Oh, no, no… This is getting a tad too far into the dangerous side!
Malleus, that punishment is a little harsh for these little humans!
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Lord Malleus, you're going to rain down the anger of the heavens upon these humans, aren't you?!
I, Sebek, will assist with my feeble power!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Sebek, wait!
…The anger's gone straight to his head. He's not listening to me.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
At this rate, the humans are going to end up injured, as well.
Silver, my dear. Let's chase these Magicam Monsters away with our magic before Malleus' lightning hits them!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Yes, sir!
