"Papa! Momma is in trouble!"
Arthur felt his heart drop. He was so focused on his fight with Lucas he completely forgot about giving Tess the beast will.
He should have never let her participate in this fight, what was he doing? How could he let himself get distracted like that?
Arthur saw Professor Glory fly at top speed towards Tess.
Arthur felt the same feeling when he thought his parents were dead.
'Don't think, act! Don't hesitate, fight! Move now and protect her... Protect the one you care about Arthur!' The young boy thought to himself, enabling his stage one beast will.
Breaking throughout the layers of time and space Arthur stood in front of the girl he cared for so deeply.
He wrapped his arms around her.
He wasn't going to let anyone hurt her. As long as he lived he would hold her tight when she needed him no matter what happened.
Arthurs mana reserves were already low before going into the fight with Lucas but now they were non-existent.
With not even enough mana to put up a mana shield he had to take the blow tenfold.
But that was fine. . . He could bear it if it meant she would be okay... Arthur hugged her tighter, feeling his last drop of mana escape from his spending him out of the beast wills transparency.
Gripping her silver locks tight with his left hand he braced for it.
He knew this was going to hurt. But he would never let her go through that pain he would never let pain touch her.
He swore it in that moment before the impact touched him.
In his very short moment of vulnerability his mind shut down. He let his heart speak for the first time in either life.
A promise that would be kept for his entire life.
A promise from his heart with no other reasoning behind it besides caring for the very person in his arms.
"I swear, Tess I won't let anyone hurt you, I-"
The strike of fire caught up to Arthur.
While it was less than a couple seconds for everyone it felt like an eternity to the boy who miraculously took the strike.
As smoke cleared quiet fear of what happened turned to gasps of shock as they saw the burnt boy with his arms wrapped around the princess.
No one would've guessed what happened, only shock and hope for the boy's safety was spread throughout the class at that moment.
<><><>Three... Days... Later<><><>
Arthur slowly blinked his eyes trying to get used to the light. Rubbing his eyes lightly as he slowly sat up he felt every muscle in his body scream of agony.
With the pain spread throughout his body and one hell of a headache he remembered previous events.
Arthur's eyes widened at the thought of Tess.
'Is she okay? How is she? Did the blast hurt her?' Arthur began asking himself all these questions then he noticed a silver haired princess leaning over onto his bed asleep.
Arthur smiled warmly when he saw she was okay well at least okay enough to worry about him.
It was weird...
People are worrying about him.
It felt so foreign to him, he lived his entire life without knowing a person who cared if he was alive or dead.
