Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

Floor 18

Laurier POV

"Ms. Laurier I'm going to take a bath do you want to come with me," Lefyia asked. I looked up at the girl and smiled at her.

"Sure Lefyia let me grab a change of clothes" I responded. I fished through my bag grabbing a change of clothes. I then exited the tent and began walking with Lefyia to a stream on the 18th floor.

"You did pretty well on the expedition Lefyia," I said. She blushed in embarrassment. "Oh, I didn't do all that well," she said squirming. "Not what I saw. You took out a whole army of mammoth fools on the 21st floor" I replied.

"But I couldn't have done it without everyone's help" she replied. I laughed. "Always the humble one," I said. We then reached the stream and began to disrobe. However, I noticed something was bothering Lefyia.

"Lefyia is something the matter," I asked. She jumped as if she was in her own little world. She then looked at me and spoke. "It's just. This Bell character I don't like him" she said. I quirked an eyebrow at this.

"What do you mean you don't like him," I asked. She paused for a minute as she collected her thoughts. "It's just. He comes into the city and levels up in two weeks. Not even the sword princess could do that. Then he comes into our house during the war of the pleasure district bleeding all over the place and gives us some half-assed excuse and lady Astraea doesn't do anything. Then he comes back with a matter of justice but when we tell him it'll take time he goes off on his own and wipes the familia out. And don't even get me started on what he did to their captain. But then again lady Astraea doesn't do anything against him" I cut her off before she spoke some more.

"But he and his familia had it coming for what they did to the poor girl," I said. "I'm not disagreeing with you there but there's a process to this" she responded. "Lefyia we both know the process doesn't work sometimes" I replied. "But that doesn't mean one should take the law into their own hands," she said as we stepped into the stream.

"But isn't that what we do? Just because Bell doesn't belong to a familia of justice doesn't mean he didn't enact it" I said. She paused for a moment and seemed to think about what I said. "Yes but there are other ways to enact justice than what he did," she said. "You are correct he did take it too far but in the end, he enacted justice for that girl and made a promise to protect her from any further harm," I said running the water through my hair.

"Bell's actions may seem Barbaric and brutal. Because we'll let's face it they are. But he does it with a heavy heart and a quest to save someone. If that's not a paragon of justice then I don't know what is" I said.

She stood there in silence for a moment as she washed her orange hair. "I enjoy our debates, ms Laurier," she said a smile on her face. "So do I. It's always nice to debate with someone who doesn't shout at you to try and get their point across" I said.

We both turned around quickly and covered our chests. "Who's there" I demanded. No response came and I was about to speak again when the very topic of our conversation walked right in front of us. He was pale. Very pale. It seemed he didn't hear us and he stumbled forward another step before collapsing on the ground. I quickly got out of the stream to go and check on him.

"Bell! Bell!" I yelled trying to shake him awake. His eyes didn't open and it was then I realized the gaping wound on his side. "Lefyia I need your magic over here" I called out. Shaking herself out of her shock you ran up to us while chanting Noah heal.

I saw the wound on his side close and he stopped bleeding. However, he was still very pale and his breathing was very shallow. "We need to get him back to camp and quickly. Grab some towels and let's go" I ordered. Lefyia nodded in agreement before wrapping a towel around herself and handing one to me. I quickly wrapped it around me and we picked up Bell and started running.
