New day at school. Based on last night, Subaru has malicious intent towards the profile owner by the name of 'Prisqueena'. He was multiplyingly sure it was Priscilla, a girl who'd gathered a reputation for being a bully, and somehow pulling a stunt that let her get out of trouble.

Whether it was against a can of beans or a literal bomb, Subaru would protect Emilia from it with his life. He was not wearing his tracksuit jacket today, as he thought just a T-shirt would be more intimidating. Emilia had just awoken, and she had rubbed her eyes, making them slightly red as she trotted down the stairs. She peeked her eyes open, and saw Subaru.
"Subaru? What are you doing up so early?"
Subaru simply smiled and told her a white lie. "I made you breakfast, of course! Why else would I be up?"
Sure enough, he had done just that. He'd fried some very particular cuts of eel for breakfast. He hadn't eaten, but he didn't really care.

After the process of preparing to go to school had been completed, the duo started the stroll to school. It was no challenge, almost right next door to them. However, it felt a lot longer than it actually was, and as a result, got boring.

Emilia and Puck were on their way, Subaru by their side. He was determined on this whole protector thing, though he wasn't too sure how he'd pull it off. Unfairly, a leg shot out and tripped up Emilia, into a familiar Cat Boy.

"Ufufufu! I just knocked down two freaks for the price of one!" She said. As Subaru suspected, t'was Priscilla.
"Nyoww.. my head.." said Felix.
"Ahh!" Said Emilia.

"Are you Okay?!" Said Subaru, in unison with Crusch, who was with Felix.

Puck floated over to the girl in the bloody dress, and spoke to her quietly. It was unintelligible to the four, but by the way he positioned himself, he was most likely threatening her.

Subaru helped Emilia to her feet. "Mili! Are you okay?"
She looked close to tears.
"Don't worry about her. She's a punk."

Crusch was holding up Felix in a similar manner, only Felix looked a lot more calm.
"Are you hurt, Felix?" Crusch asked him.
"Nyo, I'm fine." He said. "Hey Emilia?"

She looked up a little bit.

"Don't worry about her. She picks on people because she's insecure about herself, and her forty layers of makeup. If anything, it shows us she's weaker than she lets on, nyah."

Subaru was a little confused, but those words seemed to cheer up Emilia a bit.
"Th-thank you Felix." She muttered
Puck flew back over. "Lia, if they ever bother you again.. just call for me."

Subaru felt slightly scared. He didn't know why, just a hunch today would be a bad day.

They'd arrived at school and met up with Rem, Ram, and Frederica. Subaru already knew what he'd do today.

After first period, it was recess. He'd prepared his knuckles in case of a fight, and he'd learned a little bit of magic on his own, or, with Puck.

He approached the demon.

"Priscilla!!!"
