Octavinelle Dorm
 |
So, Azul... How about you and I make a deal? |
 |
I'm...sorry? |
|
What are you prepared to offer me if I return these contracts to you? |
|
I-I'll do anything. I'll give you all the study guides you want. I'll write your graduation thesis. I'll pad your attendance. Anything—just name it! |
|
Interesting. That's a pretty tempting offer. |
|
Then— |
|
Here's the thing, though. No offense, but none of that's gonna be enough to justify me returning these contracts. |
|
What? |
|
See, [MC]'s got me over a barrel right now. If I don't help Team Ramshackle dispose of these contracts, they'll make a huge racket outside my room every day until morning. |
|
Huh...? |
|
Basically, if you take their dorm away from the, they take my good night's sleep away from me. I want them gone from Savanaclaw, so these things have gotta go. |
|
THAT'S what this is all about?! |
|
Sorry, Azul. You're just not quite as dastardly a villain as [MC] is. |
|
R-ridiculous... Don't do it! |
|
Now... "Kneel before me!" King's Roar! |
|
NOOOOO!!! |
| Ssshhh... |
|
Ah... Aaah... Aaaaah! My... My... My golden contracts... All...reduced to dust... |
 |
Azul's signature spell, It's a Deal... Once the contract scroll is signed, it cannot be damaged, regardless of how many people try. |
|
You made a show of how unbreakable it was several times, just to hammer that impression home... But there's no such thing as a spell that's completely flawless. From what I saw, it looked like they were impervious to damage only under specific conditions. Namely, either being in the VIP room, or being in your hands. And judging by how easily my magic turned them to sand, I was right. The contract scrolls themselves are no stronger than any other sheet of paper. |
|
I... I don't believe this... |
|
Shyeheehee! You could just knock [MC] into next week for trying to blackmail you. I've been wonderin' why you'd go to all this trouble, and I think I've finally figured it out. |
|
Oh yeah? |
|
You've made a contract with Azul before. This whole thing is a way for you to conveniently get rid of it. |
|
Hah... Nobody likes a snoop, y'know. I'm just a nice guy who can't ignore a friend in need, that's all. Heh heh. |
|
Haw! Listen to you, laughin' at your own jokes. I should've taken a peek at what kinda contract you made before you sanded 'em down. |
|
Ah... Ahhh... |
|
Hm? |
|
Aaah, aaaaah... NGAAAAAH! I HATE THIIIS! |
| Huh?! |
|
It's gone. My carefully amassed collection of magic... My omnipotent power... |
|
What in the world? |
|
Talk about changin' your tune... |
|
All of it, up in smoke! How could you DO this to me?! Without that, I... I... I'm back to being that "silly little octo-twerp" again! That's the last thing I want... I refuse, I refuse, I REFUSE! I don't WANNA go back to being my old self again! |
|
What's going on?! There's a black aura growing... |
|
This is your fault for gettin' his hopes up and then dashing 'em on the rocks, Leona! Okay, Azul. Let's all just...take a deep breath and chill for a second. Okay? |
|
SHUT! UP!!! You don't know me! You don't know my life! All that time I spent being roundly mocked for my weakness... My intellect... Nobody could EVER understand! ...... Heh. Heh heh heh. Of course. It's so simple. If you lose something... just take it back. Give them to me. Come on. I want your prowesses... GIVE THEM TO MEEE! |
