I am not the villain, okay?

Merciless. 

This was what everyone thought, especially after they saw Isao smash the head of a girl into the table directly to the tile ground of the cafeteria. 

"Guwah!" 

The girl felt intense pain as her head was smashed violently. 

"SHIZUKU!" 

Isao felt another threat, but he was as calm as ever. He glanced at the threat, causing it to stop and get rooted in a place. 

The young man, who was about to save the girl, was startled and turned sober, realizing what kind of situation he had come into. 

'Moreover, if I attack him...' 

If he attacked Isao, then he was sure that he would be expelled. Unlike Isao, who was known as the talented, he was the weakest and the most talentless. Causing trouble meant a dead end for him, and all of his dreams would be broken. More importantly, he knew the cause of this incident was his little sister, and Isao had just saved Stella once again. 

While he was confused and helpless by his little sister's act, he couldn't save her due to his weakness, which made him frustrated, and he could only watch her head pinned down by Isao.

'Are you not going to attack?' 

Isao looked at Ikki in the distance strangely. He thought that Ikki would go berserk and attack him, but it seemed that wouldn't be the case.

'Even though his family was hurt...' 

Well, it wasn't like he was at fault. The fault was on Ikki's crazy little sister, who suddenly attacked Stella in a sneak attack. "You okay?" 

"Ah, um, thank you." 

Stella knew that she was saved once again and thanked Isao, but it was impossible for her mood to be good, especially when she knew her attacker. 

"Shizuku." 

"You bitch!" 

Shizuku's head was bleeding and hurt, but even so, her mouth was as vicious as ever, staring daggerly at Stella. 

Hearing those words, it was impossible for Stella not to get angry. What did she do? She just went out with Isao and talked, and then this girl suddenly wanted to kill her and said that she was a bitch? 

What was she? 

Still, Shizuku was like a rabid dog; not only would she viciously bite Stella, but she also looked at Isao fearlessly. "It's all because of you! If you are not here—" At the moment, she took out her sword, ready to slice Isao's wrist, but Isao simply caught her hand and—

Crack!

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

Isao broke Shizuku's wrist bone simply. 

"SHIZUKU!" 

Ikki was dumbfounded, and the rest was the same since they never thought that Isao would be so cruel, especially toward the opposite gender. 

"LET HER GO!" 

Yet, even so, Ikki didn't move, but his eyes stared strongly at Isao as if ordering Isao to let go of his little sister. 

"....." 

Isao was speechless, feeling that this guy was a coward somehow. He glanced at Stella and asked, "Do you blame me?" 

"No. It's all her fault anyway. Moreover, she tried to attack you. I saw everything." 

"That's good. I don't want you to misunderstand after all." 

"....." 

Watching his helpless expression, Stella felt even more guilty since she knew that if it wasn't for her, Isao wouldn't be involved in this troublesome situation. 

Yup, if neither of them met each other and Ikki could save Stella, then there wouldn't be any strange drama between them, but as it had happened, it was too late. 

Yet, no matter what, could the dangerous act of Shizuku Kurogane be forgiven as long as she was a female? 

Isao hated this type of woman the most, who thought that she was an entitled princess who could do anything. Frankly, he felt that she was sick, or rather, she was already sick, so at that moment, he simply cut off her power as he did to Kuraudo and Nene. 

"M-My power..." 

Even though her wrist was broken by Isao, Shizuku never thought to give up and kept trying to fight back, but when she suddenly lost her power, she was in a panic. 

"What did you do?" Stella asked curiously.

"I just made her unable to use her power. She should be like a normal person now." 

"Eh? Can you do that?" Stella was dumbfounded. 

"I can." Isao looked at Stella and asked, "Do you want to try?" 

"No! No! No!" 

Stella shook her head furiously and didn't want to try Isao's technique. Being a normal person, how painful was it for a Blazer? 

As for worrying about Shizuku, there was no such thing, especially when Stella could see that Shizuku was living. 

As long as Isao didn't kill, Stella felt that it was all fine, and more importantly, she could tell that Isao should be able to recover Shizuku's power. When this crazy girl recovered, was able to think straight, and apologized, Stella was sure that Isao would return her power back, but now? 

Let her think about the consequences of what Shizuku had done. 

Still watching Shizuku, who had lost a few of her teeth, had a bleeding face, and also a broken wrist, Stella looked at Isao for a while. 

"What's wrong?" 

"Nothing." Stella shook her head and said, "Let's have a duel sometimes." 

"Okay." 

"...don't attack my face, okay?" 

"Okay?" 

As the two prepared to leave, leaving Shizuku there, someone stopped them. 

"Ikki..." 

Stella looked at Ikki strangely, feeling quite unfamiliar and also disappointed since Ikki never seemed to have any intentions of fighting Isao. As a man, shouldn't Ikki make a move to save his loved one? 

Yet, Ikki just stayed in a place that never had any intention of fighting to save his little sister. 

'It was the same as before...' 

Stella thought about the day when the terrorists wished to make her naked and molest her in front of the public. 

Could she entrust everything to such a man? 

Still, unexpectedly, Ikki bowed at Isao and said, "I beg you to recover Shizuku's power. She is my little sister, and I hope that you can forgive her." 

"Ikki..." 

While Ikki was angry, he didn't do anything and begged his opponent. 

However, Stella also understood that with Ikki's status, if Ikki had made trouble, he would be expelled. 

Ikki might be strong, but his status was like that, after all. 

Still, as expected—

Isao simply ignored Ikki and walked away. He didn't even try to avoid Ikki and even walked by Ikki's side, passing him as if nothing. 

"...." 

Stella's lips twitched, and then she let out a sigh. Even though she understood Ikki's situation, she had to say when Ikki did nothing in this situation, it was impossible for her not to look down on him. 

'Ugh...' 

If the previous problem hadn't happened, and Ikki had a big heart, who could have accepted his failure and wouldn't be so jealous, then all of this wouldn't have happened. 

Stella could imagine all of them becoming friends together, growing stronger as they competed with each other, yet it had happened, and it was too late unless... Shizuku and Ikki made a proper apology. 

Frankly, Stella was also exhausted, but she still had a remaining feeling toward Ikki, so she wouldn't say something cruel and quickly followed Isao. 

"Wait, don't leave me alone!" 

On the other hand, Ikki, who bowed his head, clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails into his palms until they bled, thinking that he would reverse everything in their fight later. 

"Shizuku!" 

Still, before that, he had to save Shizuku first, who was in despair after losing her power. 

"Wait, Ikki." 

"Hmm?" 

Ikki was surprised when Stella suddenly stopped him, and his expression turned better, thinking that her heart was all on him, but— 

"Try to ask Shizuku to apologize to him. If she did that, he might forgive her and return her power," Stella gave serious advice. 

"..." Ikki.
