Young Kalim
|
Let’s play, Jamil~! I’m gonna win against you this time for sure!
|
Young Jamil
|
Again? I always win, you know? I wanna play something else, too…
|
Jamil's Mother
|
Jamil! How dare you talk to Master Kalim like that!
|
Young Jamil
|
Ow…!
|
Jamil's Father
|
Master Kalim, thank you for always inviting my foolish son to play with you.
|
Jamil's Mother
|
We are truly blessed to have such a kind-hearted master.

The very first memories I could remember were Kalim, his parents, and my own parents boxing my ears. I hated seeing all of them.
|
Jamil's Father
|
Listen, Jamil… When you’re dueling, make sure you lose on purpose the third time, okay? Don’t try to one-up Master Kalim.
|
Jamil's Mother
|
We know that you’re a smart child, so… You understand how we feel, don’t you?
|
Young Jamil
|
…… I know.

Kalim’s parents were always better than my parents. That’s why… Kalim should be better than me, too. That’s why, I could never surpass Kalim when it comes to studying, exercise, and even playing— Every time I was with Kalim, I had to pretend to be incompetent.
|
Kalim
|
Jamil, look! I won first place at the dance festival! Ahaha! I did it~ 3 wins, 2 losses! It’s my victory! I got 75 points thanks to your help, Jamil! What? You got 70 points…? I see. Cheer up, okay?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
You didn’t win against me. I just lost on purpose. You’re always so carefree. Get a clue, you fool!
|
Kalim
|
You’re making me the Prefect…? I don’t really get it, but leave it to me! Right, Jamil~?
|
|
Jamil
|
Headmaster, why did you choose Kalim to be Prefect? He doesn’t have exceptional talent, and he’s only a 2nd year. We’re the ones always covering for his mistakes.
|
Crowley
|
There is no rule against 2nd years being Prefects in Night Raven College.
|
Jamil
|
But…
|
Crowley
|
Viper-kun, sometimes there are things that mere grades can’t do. Asim-kun’s family provided us with a very huge donation, you see… Though, I do not fully acknowledge the practice. You are sharp, so I am sure you already know what is going on.

|
Every one of them kept saying the same thing— “I’m sure you’ll understand,” they say. So… Who will be there to understand me?
|
Kalim
|
Let’s keep having each other’s backs, okay, Jamil!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Stop it.
|
Kalim
|
Jamil’s the only one who will never betray me.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Please stop!! Kalim, as long as you’re here, I… I… I thought that I had to always surrender to you! I… Even I… I wanted to be number one, too.
|
Kalim
|
Jamil… Jamil!
