Episode 55 - The Guardian of Passion Pt 1

Cake: That fight was disgusting.

Azure: I did what was needed to win.

Azure and his companions, except Pudim and Hail, were leaving the HQ after the to go home after the Will Battle.

Qilin: Still, you could have done better...

Azure: And lose? No, thanks.

Cake: You should really stop listening to my brother.

Azure stopped and looked at them with an angry face.

Azure: I know that your brother is a massive dick and used to hit you when you were younger, but your feud with him is not any of my business.

Cake: Hey, chill--

Azure: He actually helped Tiger get stronger and me getting the victory today, unlike you who just has to lick Hail's ass all day long.

Tiger: Alright, that was uncalled for, Azure.

Fenyx: I agree with that last statement, but trust us, Pudim is only out for himself and his interests.

Azure: Ever stopped to think that winning is his interest?

They don't say anything and Azure goes on ahead, alone.

The next day, Allen wakes up in the hospital with Luiz sitting by his side, messing on his cellphone on the armchair.

Allen: What happened...?

Luiz notices Allen and makes a relief smile.

Luiz: Good morning.

Allen: What happened? Why am I here?

Luiz: You suddenly passed out last night, so I brought you here. The doctors said you fainted due to stress.

Allen: Thanks... But why are you here?

Luiz stands up.

Luiz: Because it was too late when they finished with you and I was tired. Besides, someone had to stay with you until you wake up.

Allen: And if I didn't?

Luiz: Someone else from the team would switch shifts with me.

Allen: Stress... Last night's fight got over me that easily...?

Luiz: Just rest, alright? Hanji will come to stay with you and I have to go back to my training.

Allen: I'm fine, really.

Luiz: That's up for the doctors to decide, not me.

Allen: Well... Thanks for the lift.

Luiz leaves Allen's room and yawns, but, on his way to leave the building, he notices Hail passing by.

Luiz: Oh, good morning.

Hail stops in front of him with a disgusted face.

Hail: Are you seriously talking to me right now?

Luiz: It's called "good manners". You should try it, it makes wonders.

She gets visibly annoyed.

Hail: We're rivals in the competition. You--

Luiz: That's right, in the competition. Outside we're just two normal IBI agents wanting the same thing.

Hail: Don't you dare to compare me to you.

Luiz: Alright, alright, touchy...

Hail: I'm a powerful warrior, raised from birth to be the strongest in my family. You are just some poor thrash that...
