It was the day when Sir Alvard attended Alexey's school graduation. Sir Alvard smiled proudly at Alexey's academic achievements. He had always been a smart and hardworking child, and he had done well in school. He was always the top of his class, and he had gotten a lot of recognition for his skills.

He graduated from school with the highest marks and even got a 'distinction' mark in music. A child prodigy. It had been a proudest moment.

However, the young Alexey was also rebellious at the same time

However, the young Alexey was also rebellious at the same time. He had always been a strong-willed child, and he had a tendency to do things his own way. He would sometimes disobey Alvard and go against his wishes.

There was a time when Alvard had to scold him and talk him out of trouble. Alvard had been a strict guardian, but he had always loved him like a brother, and he had done everything to protect him.

The scene played when Alvard scolded young Alexey because he was involved in a fight

"It wasn't me who started the fight!!" young Alexey snapped.

Alvard looked at him sternly, his arms crossed over his chest.
"I don't care who started the fight," he said firmly. "You shouldn't have been involved in it in the first place. You know better than that."
He gave Alexey a pointed look, his expression stern.
"Dear Alexey, You need to learn to control your temper. You can't just go around starting fights without thinking about the consequences."

"So I have to just stay still when they hit me to death?! Is defending myself wrong?!" Alexey yelled furiously.

Alvard's expression softened slightly at the sight of his brother's anger.
"Alex, listen, you don't have to stay still," he said. "But you can't just go around to find them and fighting back. There are other ways to handle situations like that. You need to learn to control your emotions and your anger,"
He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"I know it's hard for you, but you need to learn to think before you act, how to defend yourself without resorting to violence."

Young Alexey opened his mouth to speak,
"Without violence? What am I supposed to do?! I don't understand! They were the ones who dragged me into this violence in the first place!"

"That is enough, young man." Alvard raised his hand. "Don't raise your voice at me. You're the one who decided to fight back."

"You don't understand me!!" Alexey left. "You don't know the whole situation!!"

Alvard watched as Alexey stormed out of the room, feeling a pang of frustration.
He let out a sigh and wiped his face, trying to calm himself down.

Alvard knew that Alexey was just angry and frustrated, and he couldn't blame him. But he also knew that he had to teach him how to control his emotions and temper.
