For the past few weeks, Brad has been training like crazy to be able to match Ross.
They had reached an agreement that both would train together. Ross was going to get him in shape, both physically and intellectually, and Brad would teach him basic knowledge about the world. After hearing the reasons why Brad was such an idiot and useless, this provoked his anger.
Brad was the youngest of his family and he always heard from his relatives that he was born by chance and because he was lucky, his parents did not have much esteem for him and expected him to die within a few days.
He grew up believing that he did not have what it takes to be a Trudy, even his maturation metamorphosis to an adult dragon never happened, so he worked hard in the exams to be a fairy as he was left aside in the hands of his grandparents. They left him in the care of the maids, while his parents took care of his brothers who had great fame among the fairies.
At his family gatherings they pushed him away so they wouldn't have to talk to him or simply ignored him. That contempt was planted in his head and denied his reality, he insisted on placing a screen so as not to see around him.
The day he made a mistake and his wand was canceled, his entire family seemed to celebrate that they would finally get rid of him. They slammed the door in his face and he had no option to return one day. Even with all that, he was still steadfast in his vague belief that the Trudys considered him part of their family.
Ross thought Brad was too stupid and blind not to notice. So he decided to take him every day from 4 to 6am, even with rains and storms, to train. Ross would remove the blindfold, that covered his eyes.
When Brad realized that the Trudys were playing him for an idiot, the grudge he had, surfaced and he tried harder to try to beat Ross and his beasts to shake off the frustration. He learned a lot and was very happy, but Ross realized that something was wrong.
The aura that Brad began to manifest was overwhelming. Ross knew that feeling because he had felt it in the first person when he was in the war and it disturbed him. It was the presence of a potential killer and he was afraid that Brad would end up doing something stupid.
He thought that his thirst for blood would increase day by day and there would be no way to control his friend when he unleashed his madness, until a miracle fell upon them. Sonia came in one day and she brought chocolates for everyone and when she approached Brad, she gave him the bigger box and told him to behave if he wanted more. Leen offended with her sister began to argue.
At that moment, Ross noticed the abrupt change in Brad, his aura calmed down, it was almost that of a monk meditating and with that, the idea of how to get rid of the fear he felt was born. He would use his sister-in-law as his decoy to calm the beast.
Sonia was the excuse to handle it without fear of getting hurt. But ... what if something happened to his sister-in-law? Brad would go crazy. So, he tried to find another way to curb his insanity, so he talk to Rocket, Morty and Sylph to see how to help him.
-The only way is to give him the assurance that nothing will happen to him. Give him another reason if you want to avoid that.
-Which for example? -
- Well ... how about making it part of your family. He feels out of place and you don't have many relatives, except hares-
-But the change of families is a bureaucratic procedure that will take years without the permission of the Trudy-
-Morty, don't be an idiot. That would be in case the Trudys still consider him a relative. Everyone knows that he was disowned and expelled for life. Let's use that to his advantage-
-You do not have to ask permission, he has no one and he is of legal age. You also have the rabbits on your side. The process will last a couple of days. I will ask my cousin to start the paperwork in court-
Said and done, after a week, the leaders of the packs and the judge of the magic section, admissed the case and the camera ruled in favor of Ross and Brad. Now his name would change to Bradley Theodore Fox and he would consider himself Ross's foster and sworn brother by choice.
The news would not be released until the wedding day, where more than one would have to shut their mouths before the decision of both.
[This is your doing. If you hadn't taught him to fight, he might not have gone crazy]
[My fault? I remind you that whoever came out to defend was not exactly you, sweety]
Ross was pointing from afar at his sister-in-law, who began to criticize Brad's deranged action.
-You're an asshole! And if you had hurt yourself. Jonathan is a boxer! -
-Hehehe ... hurt? Me? The one who should be concerned is him. With this lesson he will not show his face in front of us again unless he seeks to die- Brad's eyes shone with emotion
Ross tired of seeing the behavior of his older brother, went to drag him to them boss's office.
-Stupid lizard! Come let them punish you.-
-And if I do not want? -
-I will tell Sonia to go with someone else to the wedding- Ross whispered in Brad's ear and he was furious
The two of them quietly left for Pryor's office while keeping a gaze war intensely. The employees in the buffet now understood why Brad never participated in the combats, it was because they could end up hospitalized and now they would begin to avoid him so as not to piss him off.
More and more Pryor's headaches increased. Now it was Brad's turn to confront her and that irritated them quite a bit.
-I apologize in advance, but my secretary did it defending his companions. In addition, it should be clarified that this pair was in a sector that does not correspond to them, obviously they were looking for a fight-
-Flake ... of all the fairies you hit a Flake. As you are from the dragon tribe it may end in a private arrangement or just a warning for you to apologize. The Trudy's won't be happy to have to stand up for you ... why me? -
-In the first place, I did not relate to that shit of people and in the second place I am not going to apologize. If I have him in front me, that bastard will die. I will end the fight-
Pryor was dumbfounded. She did not believe that she would hear such words from Brad. She knew that he was very shy and weak when it came to arguing with someone, even when he was accused of breaking a notebook three years ago, he was not even able to defend himself. She today she was seeing someone different and with a terrifying aura, ready to attack to kill.
-About that, take this file. The content is supposed to be revealed on Saturday but i would prefer that after reading it, you think twice about bringing the Trudys into the conversation-
The court ruling made Pryor sure it would be a scandal when the Trudys found out, but remembering the situation, she declined even to deal with them in the future. She knew that sooner or later they would come looking for Brad but not because of the fight, but rather because of his ability.
The most appropriate solution that she found for the disturbance was to silently call the matriarch Flake and reach an agreement so as not to end up in major problems.
Ross knew that decision would not be enough for Brad, who longed to end his unfinished fight with Jonathan. They withdrew and would wait for a response from the Flakes.
-Do not do that again. I ask you please, there are three days left and you are already causing problems. Don't you want to go with Sonia? -
-Don't get her into this .... Well, I won't get in trouble if they don't look for me first, is that okay? -
-Okay-
