Bell: So what do you say? Will you two stop fighting over this and continue being my teachers?

Aiz and Ryu were just completely slumped. His words cut through the tension, gentle yet firm. They glanced at each other, brief and conflicted before turning their eyes back to him.

Ryu: This is a hard ask of us, even for you, Bell.

Her voice was quieter now, the edge gone, replaced by a reluctant softness.

Bell: I-I know.

He looked down, hands clenched slightly, but a faint smile stayed on his lips, small but genuine.

Bell: *Smile* But like I said, you two are my precious teachers. I don't want to lose either of you.

He lifted his gaze again, voice barely above a whisper but steady.

Aiz and Ryu's faces flushed with a light red. Not just from embarrassment, but from the warmth in his words, simple, honest and impossible to ignore. 

Bell: So what do you two say?

Hearing his continued plea, Aiz and Ryu exchanged glances. Unlike before, this one lingered longer, deeper—as if they were silently weighing their thoughts, trying to speak to each other without saying a word.

Aiz: If you want us both to be your teacher at the same time... You'll listen to both of our conditions.

Hearing this, Bell's face immediately lit up. His eyes widened with hope, the weight on his shoulders lifting in an instant. A bright, relieved smile broke across his face, shining with gratitude.

Bell: *Smile* Yes! Anything at all!

His voice was bursting with relief and excitement, his eyes practically glowing. The tension that had been weighing on him melted away in an instant.

Ryu: You have to ensure you're able to manage your time.

Her tone was gentle, but firm like a teacher laying down the foundation. She crossed her arms lightly, but there was a playful glint in her eyes.

Aiz: You can't be late. Even if you just finished training with Ryu and it's my turn next, you still have to be there.

Aiz's voice was steady, her expression serious, but the faint curve of her lips gave her away. She was just happy to be able to continue training Bell.

Ryu: *Smile*  No excuses. If you want us both to teach you, you can surely manage this.

She tilted her head slightly, a teasing lilt to her voice. But underneath it was something warmer, trust. Encouragement.

Bell: I-I... Right... I can do that!

He straightened up, nodding quickly. His fists clenched at his sides, not from pressure, but determination. His smile was wide and full of energy, his heart racing with renewed hope.
