Never Again (Part One)

Main Street
One morning, a few days before Camp Vargas...

My liege! Please, allow me to escort you to your classroom.

As you wish.

Sebek so enjoys being overprotective, doesn't he?

Malleus, if you ever find his presence stifling, I suggest you tell him so as clearly as possible.

What is this nonsense, Silver? I wouldn't dream of stifling my liege.

'Sup, Hornster.

My word... What an appalling lack of manners!
Rectify your transgression at once, or you shall never be allowed in Malleus's sight again!

Well, would you look at that. A talking wall.
Hey, Malleus. Do you have to hide behind someone to have a conversation now?

...Sebek, stand down.

But, my liege—

Do not make me repeat myself.

...Yes, sire.

Now then, what is it you need, Kingscholar?
I highly doubt you would approach me without reason.

Even if the headmage sent him, it's rare for Leona to actually bother paying us a visit.
Normally he'd send Ruggie to pass on a message.

Ruggie seems afraid of Malleus, though. I would not be surprised to learn he'd refused the task.

Gracious, there's no need for the boy to fear Malleus. If anything, I wish the other students could be chummier with him.

...Sebek.
The next time you see Leona, you will apologize for your behavior today.

WHAT?!?!?!
Why, the very idea of we noble fae bowing before another species is beyond the pale!
Wouldn't that cause you to lose face, my liege?!

You're missing a key point, Sebek. Leona is royalty in his own land.
Your aggressive behavior toward him could potentially spark tension between our royal houses.
I think you should do as Malleus says.

Ah... Yes, sir!
I sincerely apologize for failing to uphold the dignity of the fae!

I am not the one you must say that to, Sebek.

Understood. I will apologize to Leona Kingscholar within the next few days.
Dwarfs' Mine - Campsite
The first day of camp...

Ah! Isn't that...

Yes, it's Leona.

...... Silver, I will be back in a moment.
Hey, you—*cough*—I mean... Excuse me, Leona!

Yeah?

I just wanted to say... I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR MY PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR!

Sheesh, could you be any louder? Who just walks up to someone and screams their face off?
Also, who are you again?

What?! We spoke in the Mirror Chamber before coming here!
And we also met on Main Street a few days ago! I am Malleus's guardian—

Never mind, I don't care. Look, if that's all you had to say, then I'm gonna go.

Wha... Wha... *sputter*
WHAT WAS THAT?!
We saw each other mere minutes ago, and he already forgot who I was?!
Does he consider everyone but Malleus beneath his notice?!
Well, Malleus IS a great man. Anyone else would certainly pale in comparison...
But this is still quite irksome!
Mark my words, Leona Kingscholar... You shall acknowledge my existence!

Never Again (Part Two)

Dwarfs' Mine - Forest Road
Camp Vargas - Day 2

Where, oh where…
...could that lanternblossom be?!

It's a crucial component of the potion we have to brew for our Vargas badge...
And we simply can't find one. We've been searching for quite a while.

It's certainly living up to its reputation as a rare plant. I didn't imagine tracking one down would be so onerous.
And our club isn't the only one struggling with this assignment.

Hm? Wait...
There! I've spotted one for real this time!
It's atop that cliff to our left.

You're right. It's blooming about 10 meters up.
Good eye, Sebek.

That's the very least one should expect of Malleus's personal guard!

I'm not sure finding things is part of a guard's job description...

Oh, hey Riddle. These guys your Equestrian Club buddies?

(...Leona Kingscholar!)

Hello, Leona. What brings you and the Spelldrive Club out here?

These guys wouldn't stop whining about how they can't find a lanternblossom.
They kept interrupting my nap, so I decided to find one and shut 'em up.
Spelldrive Club Member A
Look, Leona! There's a lanternblossom on that cliff!

Pardon me, but the Equestrian Club found that one first.
Spelldrive Club Member B
So what, you calling dibs or something? You don't got it 'til you GOT it, man.
Spelldrive Club Member A
Let's shimmy up that cliff and snag it before they do!

Nah, don't bother.
Spelldrive Club Member B
What? Why not?

Lanternblossoms convert nutrients into magic and store it.
There are plenty of nutrient-dense areas around that don't involve scaling a sheer cliff face.
Look for spots in the forest with lots of humus, or go by the lake where it's sunny. Way less exhausting than climbing a cliff.
Only chumps bite at whatever bait dangles right in front of them. Come on, let's go.
Spelldrive Club Member A/B
You're the boss!
Equestrian Club Member A
It does seem dangerous. Maybe we should look somewhere else too.

No, that flower will be mine!
Leona Kingscholar balked at climbing this cliff. I'll do it myself and triumph over him!

Huh? What put that into your head— wait, he's climbing already?!
Sebek, come down this instant!

It's all right, Riddle. Just watch him.

...... My goodness...
Spelldrive Club Member A
Well, no luck in the forest.

Tch. I just wanna get back to my nap. Okay guys, let's head to the lake.
???
WHOAAA!

Hm? What's all that racket?
Spelldrive Club Member B
It's coming from where we left the Equestrian Club. It's on our way to the lake anyway; wanna check it out?

  • huff* *huff* This cliff is steeper than I thought. It's been an arduous climb, but I'm only about a meter away now.
Equestrian Club Member A
It's too dangerous, Sebek! Just come back down!

Don't treat me like some paltry human!
This should be child's play for any self-respecting guard of Malleus... Hrk!

There! The lanternblossom is in reach!
Equestrian Club Member A
Woohoo! He actually made it! He got the flower!
Equestrian Club Member B
I can't believe he climbed that high. You're incredible, Sebek!

Did he seriously do that...?

Silver! Riddle! I have claimed our lanternblossom!
I believe we can brew our potion now.

We certainly can. Thank you, Sebek.
I must say, you've surprised me. I didn't expect you to go so far as to scale a cliff for the flower.

Au contraire! This is exactly to be expected of any guardian of Malleus!

Must you always go back to that? Well, regardless...
I'm not exactly an authority on mountaineering, but it looked like you knew what you were doing.
Have you done this sort of thing before?

Yes. This was a part of the training I received from Lilia.
At one point, he had me scaling a sheer cliff both ways, 10 times a day, for three months.
I could never have accomplished today's climb without his rigorous training!

Perhaps a rather extreme method, but... Yes, I see now.
I understand why you stopped me from calling him back, Silver. You already knew about that, didn't you?

That's right.
Spelldrive Club Member A
You got all the way up there using just your arms and legs? No extra gear? That's nuts!

Hm? Oh, you're with the Spelldrive Club. Which means...
YOU! Leona Kingscholar!

Yeah?

I am Sebek Zigvolt, proud guardian of Malleus!
And I am the man who plucked the flower you gave up on. Remember that!

Hah. You purposely chose the more tiring option? That's an impressive level of stupidity.
Hey, Spelldrive Club. We're leaving.

Wait! I've not finished speaking—

Later, Sebek.

!!!
Did he just...address me by name?!

As he was taking his leave, yes. What of it?

Heh. That mannerless lout has finally acknowledged my existence!
Never again must I endure his ignorance of my identity!
This is the first step in making him see he's no match for the fae!
HAAAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
