Memories flashed through Aldrich's mind as he remembered every time Aria mentioned how miserable her life was before the Academy and the sole person responsible for it.
Andre.
He unconsciously flared his mana as he rushed to defend Aria against Andre's bullying.
-Clank-
His twin swords clashed with Andre's sword as he launched a kick at Andre's torso, only for it to be deflected by the armour he was wearing.
"Drakewind, don't interfere in my matters", Andre growled as he slashed his sword towards Aldrich.
Drakewind family were always considered different from the other great families. They didn't care about reputation, and the family head was quite popular amongst ordinary people.
Aldrich circulated his mana as he launched a barrage of strikes towards Andre.
Suddenly, two of Andre's cousins joined the fray as they circled around Aldrich, looking to end it in one strike.
"You messed with the wrong people", Andre smirked.
