Episode 2-13: Stand Down

Main Street
Malleus Malleus	To think there are those that would mess up Night Raven College, a place where mages gather, all for the sake of a photo. Just what compels them to go to such lengths for a single joyful photo?
Lilia Lilia	I would be hard-pressed to give you an answer. This has little to do with race and is rather an issue of one's own sense of values as an individual. It isn't good to cause trouble for others, but we cannot criticize the act of finding something important. However, it is a fact that what we deem important is different to what the Magicam Monsters deem important. And so, we clash.
Malleus Malleus	Hmm. That which we find important…
Lilia Lilia	We place importance on such drastically different things. I'm sure Diasomnia's venue is in a bit of a state itself. Now, let us hurry and be off.

Ramshackle Dorm
Sebek Sebek	You insolent fools! Anyone who dares defile Diasomnia in turn defiles Lord Malleus… I will forgive no more of your insolence!
Man A	He's so loud. Even the air around him is vibrating.
Man B	Yo, mister. You're standing all straight and you look super cool, but man, you're funny! You'd definitely go viral.
Man C	Let us take a picture! Oh, a video, too.
snap!
Sebek Sebek	You utter wretches! Didn't I just tell you to put away your phones?!
Lilia Lilia	You see? What did I tell you?
Malleus Malleus	Sebek… Did you inherit your hot-headedness from your grandfather?
Sebek Sebek	gasp Y-Young Master! And Master Lilia, as well.
Silver Silver	I apologize that you had to witness such an embarrassing display. I have told him many times that shouting will not solve the problem, but…
Sebek Sebek	You're too naïve, Silver! I will displace these humans immediately. Please wait a moment!
Malleus Malleus	Leave it. Stand down. …You tourists over there.
Men	Hm?
Man A	Wait, wait, huh? Is that…Malleus Draconia, from Briar Valley?!
Man B	H-Holy crap. He's exactly as he looked on the livestream of the magift tournament! He's really at Night Raven College!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph. Even the most ignorant of humans know Lord Malleus's illustrious name, it appears.
Malleus Malleus	How about we have a little conversation? Were you never taught to conform to the customs of the land you are in? No matter what you think, or what you like, that in and of itself is not evil. I have no intentions of criticizing you for that. But the moment you stepped foot onto this campus, you should have been following the rules in place. They may be a little restricting, and it may be simple to break them, but rules must be followed. Is that not common courtesy?
Sebek Sebek	Ohh, what humbling words! There is simply no way such words could not resonate with them!
Silver Silver	Mmhm. Lord Malleus is speaking so politely, and directly to them, at that. I'm sure this will convince them.
Sebek Sebek	…Hm? The humans look strange.
Man A	whisper
Man B/C	whisper whisper whisper
Men	stare
Malleus Malleus	Why are you staring at me? Are the fae such a rare sight?
Man A	Waheeeeeeeeeeey!
tap!
Silver & Sebek Silver & Sebek	Wha?!
Silver Silver	Are my eyes deceiving me...? A human just touched Lord Malleus' arm…like it was nothing!
Malleus Malleus	…
Silver Silver	Even Lord Malleus is surprised…
Sebek Sebek	…! …!? …!!
Silver Silver	And Sebek is just speechless. Do those humans intend to bring harm to him?
Lilia Lilia	Such riff-raff would struggle to leave even a scratch on Malleus, so I'm not particularly worried about him, but… what in the world are they thinking?
Man A	Yaaaay! Draconia Challenge complete!
All	Draconia Challenge?
Man B	Malleus Draconia, wielder of such powerful magic that everyone quivers upon seeing him! Taking a photo of touching it is practically a legendary feat.
Malleus Malleus	"It"…?
Man A	Only the most bravest of brave challenge it! A test of courage with no cheating allowed. We call it, the "Draconia Challenge"! No way this wouldn't go viral, right?!
Malleus Malleus	A test of courage…?
Man B	whistle I was shaking in my boots just watching you! My hands are covered in sweat.
Man C	That was amazing. Did I take the picture properly?
Man A	I'm gonna treasure this photo for life. Big thanks, Malleus!
Malleus Malleus	…I see. I now understand very well just what you all treasure. You prioritize a single moment of excitement over your life, is that it? Fine. In that case, it is only right that I…
boom!
Malleus Malleus	…grant you the most exciting moment of your lives!
Lilia Lilia	Oh, no, no… This is getting a tad too far into the dangerous side! Malleus, that punishment is a little harsh for these little humans!
Sebek Sebek	Lord Malleus, you're going to rain down the anger of the heavens upon these humans, aren't you?! I, Sebek, will assist with my feeble power!
Silver Silver	Sebek, wait! …The anger's gone straight to his head. He's not listening to me.
Lilia Lilia	At this rate, the humans are going to end up injured, as well. Silver, my dear. Let's chase these Magicam Monsters away with our magic before Malleus' lightning hits them!
Silver Silver	Yes, sir!
