Are you seriously going to question the progenitor and the strongest of all Devils, a race meant to be able to use magic in which limit is mere creativity?

I'll have you know that the Fourth Wall and I are not in good relations.

Ignoring that strange comment that further deepened my confusion over the mysterious figure that was Lucifer,

I continued with my hard work, stopping only to prepare some coffee for Ruruko and I.

The brunette offered a thankful nod as she stopped to sip at her warm cup, while I did the same while checking back on the last papers I had signed.

It would be a shame if I got distracted and somehow messed up some of the writing in there and-

The door of the room opened without notice, with a slightly annoyed Ravel entered inside without offering any greeting nor comment.

A scowl was on her lips, and I could tell that she had been crying from how red her eyes were in that moment.

I glanced at her with a perplexed look, questioning what happened to her to bring her to such a furious state of self.

She stared at me for some time and… then spoke.

"I want to quit."

I frowned. "Why?"

She slowly took a seat by the chair in front of me.

"I'm not wanted here."

My frown deepened.

"Who told you this?" I asked calmly, a longer pause following shortly after.

"It doesn't matter," Ravel mentioned tiredly. "I just want to quit Kuoh Academy."

"I want you to tell me, Ravel, because it's the right thing to do."

She snorted. "Says who?"

"I do."

The girl returned my frown with her own. "What do you get out of this? Do you wish to fix this, or maybe worsen things up?"

Surprise flashed from my eyes at that defensive approach, and I knew that I couldn't trip on myself about this case.

"I don't get anything out of it," I replied calmly. "But you get proper retribution out of it."

"Why?" She pressed on with a serious tone.

"Because it's the right thing to do. And because if you were hurt, I wish to know."

"Why?"

"Because I can't just ignore a problem, Ravel. Especially since I've gone through a similar situation to yours myself."

She looked shocked at that response.

"You- You don't even know if-"

"Did someone corner you and bully you, yes or no?"

Ravel offered a surprised look, but still answered my query.

"Y-Yes."

"What did they say to you?"

She sighed. "They said that- that I was some stupid rich girl. That I was fat and my hair are ugly."

"I know this might sound bad, but did Koneko-"

"She- She wasn't around when this happened," Ravel admitted. "It was after the second lesson for today and… I was put in a position where I couldn't use magic."

I sighed. "I suppose it wasn't the insults that got you, right? But how easily they got away from hurting you like that."

She looked at me with quite the intense look, with her blue eyes shining with interest.

"Yes."

I offered a tiny smile. "Bullies are… morons, Ravel. What happened today will be an isolated case, you can trust me on that."

"And- And how do you plan to solve it?" The blonde inquired, her interest growing.

"Tomorrow morning, I wish for you to wait for me at the entrance," I told her with a confident voice. "I will handle the situation myself."

A perplexed look appeared on her face.

"That sounds like… a threat?"

"It might sounds harsh to say, but if a situation like this happen in a school of this caliber, the resolution has to be serious and quick,"

I explained politely. "You might think that I'm trying to do something against the rules, and that would be a wrong assumption.

This isn't the first time bullies made a move, but it would also not be the first time Kuoh Academy responded to such an issue with a proper punishment."

Ravel leaned on her chair, giving me a fascinated look but she kept quiet as I gazed down back to the paperwork.

...

"Thank you."

I blinked, my stare lifting up again from the desk and back to the girl.

"There's no need to thank anyone, Ravel. It's a line of work that dictates this."

She huffed. "You know, it's not nice to spurn a lady's compliment."

"But I didn't. I just pointed out that you didn't need to thank me for anything," I rebuked kindly. "And I think you should be praised for not acting too brashly about the matter."

"Y-Yeah, it's only natural for-"

"A proud member of the Phenex clan?" I inquired mirthfully, getting a quick nod from her… and then a shocked look.

"You- you know about… us?"

"I do know about the world of supernatural, Ravel," I replied happily. "In fact, I think your brother already knows of my awareness after our encounter."

"B-But why didn't he mention any of that to me?"

"Maybe he didn't want to drive any pressure on you. After all, this is a place where that side of the world hardly matter," I pointed out with a shrug.

"You're here to learn away from political games and annoyances created by your status."

Ravel snorted. "But I'm still facing problems."

"Problems that can be solved without any major issue for anyone, I can assure you of that," I returned with a sigh.

"Then again, I hope you're enjoying your stay here despite this bump."

Her stare turned away and I could see her cheeks flaring at the little poke.

"I-It's a school with decent standards. It could improve but- but I think it's sufficient right now."

I allowed a relieved sigh out of my lips. "That's good to know."

The blonde was still there despite the fact that our conversation was now over.

Her attention now moving to Ruruko as the girl resumed her work.

I stood out of my chair to assist the humming brunette, ignoring for a while that Ravel decided to spend the day in here to see the unfolding of the Student Council's work.
