Cardin Winchester is pulling my ears again; I hate him so much. I know I could easily take him in a fight but it wouldn't look good if I went around beating up my juniors. For the sake of Beacon, and myself, I always let this happen; just the thought of Professor Goodwitch's infuriated expression makes me shudder internally.

The thought of going to my friends for help comes to me a lot but I hate troubling people.

These jerks were laughing as they pulled my ears, it hurts so much. I closed my eyes and winced in pain as Cardin further tightened his grip my on ear. I keep on getting tempted to unleash the contents of my box on him.

"What do you think you're doing? Are you looking for a fight?" Cardin said in mild annoyance and let go of my ear.

I opened my eyes and saw that someone grabbed Cardin's arm.

"Bullies are such an eyesore." He boldly replied.

He was tall and seemed almost anorexic. He had red hair with bangs covering his left eye, but from what I could see his right eye was orange. He dressed in all black which, combined with the covered eye, gave him the generic emo look.

"In giving you one chance to back off before I blow you away" he threatened angrily.

Cardin took his arm back in his frustration. Then pulled his arm back in preparation for a punch, with whoever this new guy was as his new target, but then something I never expected happened.

An explosion suddenly erupted and blew all of CRDL to the other side of the court yard.

The guy who saved me turned to me and said "You better go, this never ends well!"

"Thank you!" I yelled to him as I ran away. The ends of my mouth turned slightly upwards.

"Avant Ruina, leader of team ROYL" he called back to me as he laughed.

I stopped and turned around to respond for the last time.

"Velvet Scarletina, member of team CVFY!"
