"You guys are really ugly~" Louise's words were interrupted by a mocking voice before she could finish speaking, and the surroundings fell silent. She looked at the source of the voice in surprise.

No one expected that, in such a situation where public anger was so strong, someone would actually stand up for Louise, the source of all evil. However, when they noticed the speaker's identity, they understood everything.

A blond boy stepped forward first: "Unknown mage, although we have tacitly accepted your eligibility to attend the lecture because of your status as a mage, please do not forget that you are currently just a familiar."

Once someone started it, the other students began to chime in with their own opinions.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you are Louise’s familiar, we would have banished you long ago, as you are so rude and ignorant.”

"Don't mistake our mercy for the right to be arrogant!"

"Wearing bizarre and incomprehensible clothes, lacking any of the demeanor expected of a nobleman, he might just be some wild mage from somewhere."

"Yes, only a wild mage would make a deal with Louise Zero and become her familiar."

With the support of those around him, the blond boy became smug and looked at Seamo defiantly.

However, Simo was completely unfazed by the guy's gaze, lazily getting up and saying, "So you guys are really cowards."

"What did you say?" the blond boy glared angrily.

But Seamus didn't even look at him, continuing to walk slowly toward Louise at his own pace, saying as he went, "Are you really mages? You're actually afraid of explosions?"

"Can't you dodge? Haven't you learned magic? Don't you know how to use magic to protect yourselves?"

Simo's voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was clearly conveyed to everyone present. However, the way he ignored others and spoke with his head down made it seem as if Simo was talking to himself.

"So, on the battlefield, when you see the enemy army, you'd say to your commander: 'No! The enemy has explosive magic! We must save our lives, let's run for our lives!'"

Simo's imitation was so lifelike that he even deliberately added a female voice effect in the second half, causing everyone's lips to twitch.

"If all soldiers and nobles in Tristene are like this, then this country is doomed."

Finally, Seamus walked up to Louise, winked at her, then turned around and stared at the blond boy.

"This, this is different!"

"What's different? You're afraid of Louise's explosion, afraid of the pain, afraid of being involved, so you want to drive Louise out. But the enemy won't be driven out or let you go just because of a few words from you."

Through last night's conversation, Simo learned from Louise about the general situation of Tristene, which is basically similar to the Central European countries of the late ancient period, with many neighboring countries.

Therefore, if a nobleman shows fear and weakness towards his enemies, it is considered very bad within the noble circle and he may even be stripped of his honor by the higher-ranking nobles.

“This is different. We can bravely face the enemy’s magic and swords, but we don’t want to taste the betrayal of our comrades, especially when her reason is ‘mistake’!”

The blond boy retorted loudly, "He's the marshal's son, how can he be considered weak? Although he doesn't like going to the battlefield, he can't show it in front of others."

"Comrades-in-arms? Shouldn't comrades-in-arms help each other? Do you really consider Louise a comrade-in-arms?"

"When you see your companion's efforts or failures, shouldn't the right thing to do is to help her? Does your definition of a companion equal ridicule, mockery, and expulsion?"

Faced with Seamus's questioning, everyone was speechless. But Seamus didn't stop, because he knew that if he stopped now and left with Louise, she would only face continued isolation and neglect from everyone.

This was not what Seamus wanted, so he continued, "Humility, integrity, mercy, courage! Justice! Sacrifice! Honor! Soul!"

Simo's voice grew louder and louder, drawing all eyes to him.

"I swear to treat the weak with kindness!"

"I swear to bravely fight against rape!"

"I swear to fight against all wrongdoing!"

"I swear to fight for the unarmed!"

"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help!"

"I swear I will not harm any woman!"

"I swear to help my brother knight!"

"I swear to treat my friends sincerely!"

"I swear I will be devoted to my love until death!"

After speaking, Seamus raised his wand, using his left hand. He dared not use his right hand so Louise would believe he still had an injury on his right shoulder. This time, he was about to cast a spell, a spell he had desperately wanted to learn, a spell that could instantly elevate Seamus to heaven or plunge him into hell.

12. It's not something that can be solved so easily.

As magic surged, Simo knew he would succeed this time. The spell was surprisingly smooth, and the scene of the explosion was being repaired at a visible speed.

The broken stone benches, the overturned blackboard, the fallen chandelier—everything was restored to its original state. Except for the raven that had been swallowed by a snake. Seamus couldn't help but sigh, wishing he could have succeeded every time at Hogwarts.

If successful, it would save a large sum of money; however, failure would mean an increase in debt. Therefore, this magic is both heaven and hell. Success is heaven, failure is hell.

The classroom was easily repaired.

"What kind of magic is this?" the students asked curiously. But that was all they were curious about.

It's worth noting that students skilled in earth magic can also repair things using alchemy, although it takes time and involves repairing each item one by one, which isn't as convenient or quick.

However, in the eyes of the students, what's wrong with learning a magic spell to repair things, for nobles or mages?

In fact, people were more interested in what Simo had said earlier. The boys found it exciting, and the girls found it romantic, but of course, not everyone thought so.

Although many people's perceptions of Seamus and Louise have changed, the "Anti-Louise Alliance" is not so easily broken. Just how difficult it is to break is evident in the historical "Anti-French Alliance." They are all nobles, and strength alone is not enough, because in their eyes, Seamus's strength is insufficient.

Ms. Sibruz, possessing Triangle-level strength, clearly saw more than the students. She noticed that earth element wasn't very active in Seamus's magic. Rather than Seamus using earth-based alchemy, it was more accurate to say that Seamus had adjusted the classroom's state to before the explosion. [Is this time manipulation? How is that possible?] Sibruz startled herself.

In the students' eyes, Simona's not-so-tall figure, standing in front of Louise, made no one think that the young man's vow was just empty talk, because he was protecting his princess like a knight with his actions.

But Simo was alone, while they were a group. Although opinions were beginning to diverge among the group, this was precisely the step Simo wanted to take.

The atmosphere froze as if under a freezing spell, but this was not the end. The expressions of the people present varied: some admired, some envied, some regretted, some were dismissive, and some were eager to try.

Simo guessed that most people were probably leaning towards him and Louise right now, because during his conversation with Louise last night, Simo discovered that the thoughts of people in this world, especially the nobles, were very similar to those of the classical era.

This made it easy to analyze what they liked to hear and what they agreed with. So Simo used his expertise in chivalry to communicate with them and won them over with the actions of a guardian knight.

But now there's a tricky issue: how to wrap things up? We need to give everyone a way out of this awkward situation so that things can end perfectly.

Seamus didn't want to make a splash and offend everyone, after all, he still had to go back to Hogwarts. But what would happen to Louise after he left?

Although he and Louise have only spent less than a day together, Simo truly doesn't want Louise to be left alone and helpless once he leaves.

So let me give it a try.

Generally, one could seek out like-minded individuals who have been moved by one's own ideas. This person would need to have a certain level of prestige and be able to speak favorably of oneself and Louise. But would such a person be found in such a short time? Someone moved by one's words and actions.

If we were to ask who was the most moved and the most shocked among those present, it would undoubtedly be Louise. However, due to her status, Louise, who was the catalyst for the incident, clearly could not bear such a role.

Even without the obstacle of her identity, Louise certainly wouldn't be able to handle the job given her current state.

[He actually said "beloved"! How could he be so bold! Should I agree to his confession? Will Mother approve?] Louise's face turned as red as a delicious apple.

Merlin above, Seamus's most important point was to protect women and children; the other sentences were just casual remarks. However, Seamus clearly hadn't learned advanced dark magic like Legilimency, and of course, Hogwarts wouldn't teach it either. Therefore, Mr. Seamus was unaware of Miss Louise's current thoughts.

If Seamus were to look back now, he would surely think he was seeing things, because even though it wasn't the first day of school and he wasn't at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, he could see the Hogwarts Express steaming, and the steam rising from Louise's head looked as if she had accidentally eaten a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean that tasted like a train whistle.

Taking advantage of the blond boy's momentary lapse in attention, Seamus quietly retreated and approached Louise. However, this small action brought Louise endless trouble.

【Eeya!】

He's coming!

He's coming!

What should I do? What should I do?

Louise was extremely flustered; she felt she wasn't ready to let this boy into her heart.

"Hey! Louise!"

He called my name, how should I respond?

"What's wrong, darling?" No, no, that seems too frivolous. How could the Duke's daughter be so unreserved!

"What is it, Finigan?" While this creates a sense of distance, doesn't it seem too cold?

Louise, a young girl in the prime of her life, is caught in the bittersweet troubles of youth.

Louise!

"Louise Vallier! What are you daydreaming about?"

Simo is frantic! Miss Louise, what are you thinking? I need your help right now.

Fortunately, Louise finally escaped Cupid's spell temporarily: "Hmm?"

"Oh, Louise, you big idiot, what were you thinking just now? He's not angry, is he?" Louise was annoyed with herself when she came to her senses.

Unfortunately, she soon fell into a daze again.

[What is he going to say to me? What does he want to say to me? What will he say to me in front of everyone?] Louise's delusions couldn't stop.

Meanwhile, Seamus breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the guys opposite him hadn't taken the opportunity to attack him: "Louise, what was the name of the guy who was talking to me just now?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Louise was still lost in her fantasy and didn't react for a moment.

"That blond guy, the one with the showy look and the rose in his hand, what's his name? What's he good at? What's his elder's title?" For some reason, every time Seamus saw this guy, he would think of Malfoy when he was feeling self-satisfied.

However, judging from his prestige among the students, this guy seems to have some influence, otherwise he wouldn't have stepped forward to debate with him. So, Ximo plans to use him as a breakthrough to find those who are not very firm in their stance and turn them from opponents to neutrals.

But Seamus didn't notice that after he finished asking the question, Louise's face turned even redder than before, this time from anger.

After saying those things, you came here just to ask me about a man???

[Inquire about his name and background?]

【Symmo! You idiot! Fool! Moron! Stupid dog! Dumb dog!】

Taking advantage of the fact that Seamus's body was very close to her and that he was blocking everyone's view of her, Louise quietly placed her hand on Seamus's waist and then twisted it hard.

"Ugh!" Simo groaned, trying his best to suppress the pain.

Louise, what are you doing?

13. Seamus: Louise! You're attacking friendly forces!

The only thing that Simon was relieved about was that, although he hadn't let up, Louise had at least provided the information he wanted: "Hmph, that guy's name is Kisch du Grammon, and he's a playboy."

"As for what you're good at, earth magic and winning the favor of shallow noblewomen, does that count?" As she said this, Louise suddenly increased the pressure on her hand. Louise suddenly felt that this dull-witted guy was really not as good as a playboy in some ways.

[He's a playboy, why are you pinching me?]
