Boy in Love (4)

The whole banquet hall remained silent until Luke was able to wrap some bandages around the upper part of my body after pushing himself to use more heal on me. When Jules offered to help, Luke glared at him to stay away. Meanwhile, Alex also pushed himself to use heal on me on my lower half, seeing I would be dangerously close to dying from blood loss.

"Can you search the mansion one last time?" Yulee asked Jules to scan for more death traps.

Compared to me who was almost healed, there were purple bruises on Jules' arm from when we both slided on the ground. There were also some red scrapes and scars as we landed on the crystal shards. But I couldn't pity him as I was the one who suffered the most from his carelessness.

"I don't think we can attend another event hosted in this mansion," Luke turned to Yulee.

"From tomorrow, Jules and I will be hosting the event in one of my family's mansions a day earlier than planned," Yulee threw an apologetic glance towards him.

"Can I get the details of the environment inside your mansion?" I spoke up.

There was no way I was attending another event with a bunch of dangerous props. Either Ella or the boy would be able to freely manipulate them according to their will. Yulee hesitated before she showed her screen with all the details.

"Yup. I'm definitely not attending this one as well," I refused.

I noticed a big problem in the layout. There were a bunch of purple and white crystals both outside and inside the banquet hall. What would happen if someone lifted up the boulders and crushed someone as a result?

Another issue was how there was also a fountain of drinks as they were automatically filled. What would happen if one of the glasses shook, making the entire structure collapse on someone on either side? Plus, the walls had amazingly bright candle lights instead of the ones powered by mana like today.

These things were dangerous on a whole other level. I shuddered when I thought of that incident of almost burning down the entire school. But this time, the whole mansion could burn down with their guests. Fire was easily manipulable, and I still didn't know that boy's specialty yet. It could be a disaster if the fire rapidly spread to other mansions in the process, destroying social week altogether.

"Do I have to go?" I asked Luke with the saddest voice.

"They have large ice blocks inside their mansion. What if someone manipulated the ice and crushed one of the guests in the process? There's also a lot of vases in the banquet hall as well. What if one of the vases fell on someone?" I pointed out some things that came to my head.

Shelly trembled, recalling all the events that happened to me today. The room went back into its awkward silence as everything I mentioned could really happen during the next event. Anything was possible when there were guests with an enormous supply of mana that couldn't be controlled.

"I don't think we can attend your other events as well," Luke agreed with me.

"Do we have to go as well?" Shelly shivered.

Even Shelly appeared like she didn't want to attend. When I took a glance at Alex, it looked like he agreed with Shelly as he stayed silent. It was likely the other thoughts that appeared in my head also popped in their minds as well.

"We can't change everything in the last minute," Yulee sighed.

"At least get rid of the candles. Fire is easily manipulatable," I gave her some advice.

Everyone froze from my advice. The four of us had actually experienced going through a fire before. One tiny mistake could spell an entire disaster that we wouldn't be able to take back. Yulee's eyes widened as she carefully went over the entire design plan again.

"You should really get rid of the candles," Alex warned her when we noticed she was hesitant.

"I couldn't find anything," Jules came to interrupt at an extremely bad timing.

"I think you should cancel the event altogether," I said from Jules' appearance.

"Do you know the repercussions from what you just said?" Yulee appeared a bit offended.

I opened my mouth to say all my thoughts about the fountain of glass cups, the crystal boulders, the sharp gems laying down to stab someone, and more. By the time I was done, it was clear that nobody thought about all the decorations to this extent. And nobody could disagree against what I have just said.

I was sure I missed some, but it appeared like they had gotten the point. Shelly looked at both Yulee and Jules in a new light. She shifted closer towards us, standing quite a distance away from them. Even Alex shuffled a few steps away from them.

"My brother will also host for our fraction during the other days," Luke had the heart to comfort them.

It was clear that Luke also agreed with cancelling the event altogether. That way, it would bring less damage to the fraction as a whole. Although, even I knew it would bring both the reputation of the Pelargonium and Niflheimr families down.

"Even if you choose to continue the event, we won't be going," Luke still supported me so I could stand with him.
