Suddenly, she was slapped on the back of the hand with a ruler. "YOUNG LADY, YOU ARE TO RAISE YOUR HAND BEFORE YOU SPEAK. IF YOU REMEMBER, THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED FOR THEIR MISDEEDS TOMORROW MORNING. HOWEVER, YOU, AS AN ADULT IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY HAVE NO PLACE IN TERRORIZING CHILDREN WITH WALLS OF FIRE, OR THREATENING THEM. WE ARE TRYING TO NURTURE THE NEXT GENERATION, NOT RAISE THEM IN FEAR, NOW TELL ME, SINCE I AM SURE YOU HAVE BEEN PAYING SO VERY MUCH ATTENTION, WHAT IS MY GREAT GREAT UNCLE THRICE REMOVED'S FAVORITE NON DAIRY TOPPING OF FLANOIR COD TACOS?"
'... You did THAT? You kind of deserve to be in here...' Derrick thought with a dull look on his face. 'And did he even say anything like that? This is like listening to a very loud drone...'
~~~~~
"I wasn't showing off, I was trying to save mana..." Irvine sighed, the three appearing in front of the home.
Mai-Fei immediately ran in. "Gleeeeeeeeeeenn!! She called out.

"Don't know, don't care..." Taini yawned as she had a dull look on her face. Tail flicking, she glanced at the ceiling above, not at all laying her eyes on the man. "Blah blah blah, so you have a rich history of nobles. Noble blood here too. Granddaughter of an ex-prince of Meltokio. Sorry, but you know, children need fear, otherwise they'll never learn. They're just go on and on terrorizing, and then it will be too late because they'll die in some freak accident or war, or whatever. I wasn't hurting them, so what's the damn point?"
~~~~~
"...Showing off, saving mana... same difference." Ai also walked in, blinking. "Hey! Anyone home!?" She called, hearing nothing. "Hm... is anyone even home?"

"GLENNY!" Mai-Fei called out. "Where are you!? We're going to super chicken house, come on!" She said.
Irvine sighed, pricking up his ears and listening for any sign of the boy anywhere.
~~~~~
Another ruler slap. "YOUNG LADY, YOU ARE CLEARLY MISSING THE POINT OF THIS LESSON. TERROR LEADS TO RAGE, AND RAGE LEADS TO INCIDENTS WHICH COULD EASILY BE AVOIDED IF THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROLE MODELS WOULD ACT AS SUCH." He said, picking her up and throwing her in a chair and then placing a dunce cap on her head. "AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE TOPPING IS TOMATO FLAVORED BACON CHIPS. SURELY YOU MUST HAVE GAINED SOMETHING FROM THIS EXPERIENCE, AND AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU SHOULD LEAVE KNOWING THAT THERE IS A ROLE FOR ADULTS IN THIS SOCIETY."

Taini pulled off the dunce cap, very tempted to shove Trinity down his throat... if she had it. "Grrr..." She found herself growling. "I said I wasn't paying attention, dammit! Whatever, I get the point of the damn lesson! Don't resolve everything with violence and threats because it's not nice, blah blah blah. Well that's just the thing! I'm NOT with society! I live in the middle of nowhere AWAY from society! My son is being forced INTO society!" I'm starting to think that he should get out.
~~~~~
"Hm... no luck..." Ai then noticed a slip, seeing it as a detention slip for both Taini and Glenn, though they were separate appointments.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Ai burst out laughing as she thrust it into Irvine's face. "Taini really IS pathetic!"

"... Where is he then...?" Irvine asked, ignoring the laughter and deciding to check the alchemy lab. "Glenn, are you in here?" He asked.
~~~~~
'Taini, you're digging yourself into a hole here...' Derrick thought, shaking his head.
"PERHAPS YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CHOSE TO ENROLL YOUR SON HERE. NOBODY HAS FORCED HIM HERE. AND YOU ARE A PART OF SOCIETY WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE OR NOT. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO BECOME A HERMIT, WHICH YOU HAVE NOT BECOME. I SEE THAT DRASTIC MEASURES WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT YOU ACT AS A FUNCTIONING MEMBER OF SOCIETY AND NOT ANOTHER DELINQUENT MUCH LIKE THE CHILDREN WHO YOU HAD THREATENED WITH FIRE. AS OF THIS FRIDAY, YOU WILL BE ATTENDING AS A MEMBER OF THE PTA."

Glenn was seen making a small granite fountain, a little upset with himself. And everyone. He had been delivered at home right before the parents' detention, and he knew that they wouldn't be long. "Hm?" He then turned around, frowning. "Hey, Uncle Irvine..."
~~~~~
Taini groaned, then stood onto her feet. Tail stiffening and her fangs bared, she began, "You know what? I've had it with your bull. I'm pulling Glenny out, then I'll go live as a damn hermit who saves people in the middle of the night! I don't care! Society is bull and I don't care if I'm a delinquent or not! I've been labeled as a delinquent for as long as I remember! I've skipped school, I sneaked into rated R films, I even stole a couple times! Ugh, you people have sticks so far up your ass that you can't see that there are OTHER ways to deal with it! If you find me a threat to people, look at my brother! He murders people if they are rightfully deemed as criminals! GAH you people make me sick! Putting Glenny in this school was the WORST mistake I have ever made, next to blowing off Irvine!!!"

"YOUNG LADY." The principal said. "THOSE ARE NOT THE WAY TO GET AHEAD IN LIFE. THAT IS THE WAY THAT AFFORDS YOU MANY ENEMIES. THERE IS A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEALING WITH CHILDREN AND DEALING WITH CRIMINALS. WE MUST MOLD CHILDREN SO THEY DO NOT BECOME CRIMINALS. THREATS WILL ONLY LEAD TO MORE ANGER WHICH WILL LEAD TO WORSE ACTS. YOU CANNOT PUNISH THEM FOR THAT WHICH THEY HAVE NOT YET DONE, LIKEWISE, THEY CANNOT BE PUNISHED WITH A MAGNITUDE GREATER THAN THEIR MISBEHAVIORS. THAT IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU WILL ALSO BE ATTENDING THE MOTHER'S CLUB EVERY TUESDAY, AND I WILL BE TAKING YOU THERE MYSELF IF NEED BE. THERE IS A REASON I AM KNOWN AS PETER RICHARD IVAN N'CIPAL, THE FOURTH GRAND COLOSSEUM CHAMPION, AS WELL AS THE PRINCIPAL OF HEIMDALL ELEMENTARY. I HAVE DEALT WITH FAR WORSE PARENTS THAN YOU."
'You know, Taini... This may actually do you some good...' Derrick thought with a sigh as the dunce cap was placed back on her head.
~~~~~
"Come on, kiddo, we're going to the super chicken house." Irvine said with a smile, ruffling his nephew's hair. "So what's that?" He asked.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Taini just basically smashed her forehead into the desk. To the point that the desk was smashed. Lifting her head, she felt like she had enough of it. "I've handled children before and threats only made them better people! I don't threaten with violence! Argh, why can't you see that? I mean, I've helped people all over the world! We are the most renown detectives on Carleon! I have friends everywhere! I take down what needs to be taken down! I don't even kill them, unless I am fending for my life!!! I also reserve myself! I don't like being social at all unless I'm around my own friends! I would end up killing everyone! I know I would! Or worse! I COULD DIE OF BOREDOM! You wouldn't want that on your hands would you?"
Again she ripped off the dunce cap. I'll gut you if need be...
~~~~~
"Huh? It's a fountain... it's a dragon statue with spouts..." Glenn replied sadly while looked up at his Uncle. "Were you ever hated Uncle Irvine? You seem so nice... probably not..." He mumbled.

"... You probably wouldn't begin to understand how much." Irvine said. "But for now, let's go get some dinner, shall we?" He asked, picking up the boy. "I'll leave a note for your parents, telling them exactly where to find us."
~~~~~
"YOUNG LADY, WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE THREATENED YOU TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS?" Principal P.R.I. N'Cipal asked.

"I WOULD PROBABLY STOP, SO SHUT THE HELL UP YOU RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLE!" Taini shouted. "THAT'S MY JOB!!! SCREW YOU!" Flipping him off, she turned away ad looked to Derrick. "Come on."
~~~~~
"Okay..." Glenn nodded as he went with his cousin, Uncle and Aunt to the restaurant after leaving the note. He soon found himself sitting in a booth, kicking out his legs. Ai glanced at him, wondering what was wrong with the boy.

"VERY WELL THEN. STOP ACTING LIKE A DELINQUENT AND SIT DOWN AND ACCEPT YOUR PUNISHMENT, OR ELSE I WILL BEAT YOU UP." N'Cipal said sternly.
~~~~~
"Hey, Glenny, Ela, what's up? Wasn't school fun?" Mai-Fei asked, blinking.
Irvine simply observed, wondering why the boy was so down.

"I AM NOT A DELINQUENT YOU STUPID MORON! CAN'T YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOU PIG-HEADED SKULL!? GRAH! WATCH IT, OR I'LL BEAT YOU UP!!!" She hissed, now causing some of the parents to be frightened of the scene. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ELEVEN FEET! I CAN WIPE OUT CARLEON IF I NEED TO DAMMIT!!"
~~~~~
Ela looked to Mai-Fei, having sat down beside her. "No... he went through a lot of bullying."
"Yeah... I was constantly bullied... then they beat me up after school... they kept calling me a Pipsqueak... and a possessed bastard... I tried making friends, I really did! But the only one who I thought would be my friend hates me more than anyone it seems..." He sighed as he slunk in the booth, only after he ordered five chicken sandwiches and ten chicken tenders, as well as some fries and a shake.
"Seems he's going through it... Ugh." Ai tipped in as she ordered just a few chicken tenders.

Mai-Fei ordered just as much as the both of them combined, and Irvine simply ordered a chicken caesar salad.
"Indeed... But we all went through it for one reason or another, did we not?" Irvine asked. "Glenn... Your mother, your father... Your aunt and I... We all went through the same things... And we all dealt with them in one way or another... I did it in the worst way... But we all survived... And grew for it.
"Could people really be like that to you, daddy?" Mai-Fei asked, shocked.
"They did." Irvine said.
~~~~~
And then Principal PRI N'Cpal beat her up, tied her to a chair, and replaced the dunce cap. "ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR SHENANIGANS? MAY WE CONTINUE?"

"Grr..." How the hell was he able to do that!? Taini thought, feeling incredibly sore all over. However, she wasn't done yet. "NO YOU MAY NOT! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN ANNOYING JERKWAD! THAT IS ALL YOU WILL EVER AMOUNT TO!" She roared. "WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU! I'LL... I'LL!!!!" Of course her own words failed her as she pushed the dunce cap off with her own tail. Come on, it was three feet long.
~~~~~
Glenn blinked. "But you're so nice... and brave... and strong... why would they even want to pick on you? I'm just weak and small..." He sighed. "I donno how to deal with it. I don't ever want to go back to school." He mumbled.
Ai sighed. "As much as I would like to take you in and home school you for awhile, I think it is best for you to go to school. You may learn to be a better man because of it."
"No way! Can't you home school me!?" The youth cried out.

"Sorry, but it's enough of a handful with just Mai-Fei at this point." Irvine explained. "And you two aren't at the same level right now... I would need to wait until you've finished at least a few years before we could teach the both of you... Just to be safe."
Mai-Fei blinked, wondering who could have bullied her father.
~~~~~
"YOUNG LADY, I HAD HOPED TO MAKE A POINT... BUT MAYBE I HAVE. DID THIS VIOLENCE REALLY SOLVE ANYTHING?" The man asked.

"...Tch." Taini didn't say a word, but instead gave in, knowing this whole damn thing was pointless. Instead she just waited it out, then once they were finally home, she quickly picked up Trinity, then began to bash a tree with the bracelet on. Even with it on, it was enough to strike it down in three hits, due to her current anger. "RAAAAAAAAAUGH! STUPID ELF KNOW IT ALL! IF ANYTHING I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK JUSTICE IS! I DON'T CARE! GAH, I'LL KICK HIS ASS!!!"
~~~~
"A few years!? Is she that far ahead of me?" The boy asked, now very grumpy and now determined to study harder. Ai sighed, glancing at the food that had arrived and began to eat hungrily. "Mmm, I love this place..." She mumbled.

"No, she isn't." Irvine said. "She is about one year ahead of you." He explained. "When you don't know a lot, that's a huge deal. In a few years, once you've both spent a lot of time learning, the one year won't make a huge difference." He explained.
~~~~~
"You know, he did have a point... Things tend to be a lot messier when we charge in... And when we negotiate, at least the fighting is... less an issue." Derrick sighed. "This may... Do some good for you."

"No way! I'm gonna keep studying and get ahead of my class!" Glenn squeaked as Ai chuckled. "What a rivalry." She said as she continued to eat.
"I'll be rooting for the both of you!" Ela cried out as she hugged Glenn, who smiled at the girl. He then scooped up his food. "I'm already far ahead of the class anyway! I'm gonna try to go into the advanced classes. I might get away from all those stupid heads."
~~~~~
"..." Of course that only irked Taini more. She HATED being told that she was wrong. Which forced her to fell a good fifty trees or so until she released the pent up rage. "..." Eye twitching, she brushed passed Derrick. "You know what? I've never had a problem with it, and I am well respected and liked! But you know what? Fine. I'll be an obedient dog and be all 'negotiable'. But just remember this. Tonight, IF we have sex, it's definitely going to be angry." She pointed out as her tail swished viciously, almost to the point of falling off.

Derrick winced. "I'm just saying... It may be good for you... We have been getting a lot of death threats in the mail lately..." He mumbled, shivering. "I really don't want to be crushed..." He groaned.
~~~~~
"Well, I hope you do well." Irvine said with a smile. "Because I don't want you to struggle through it. As my oldest nephew... I need you to do well. I want you to do well. I wouldn't skip classes though... Being with older students could only be harder on you."

"What death threats? You never told me anything about death threats... -.-" Taini folded her arms as she sheathed her blade, now tapping her foot. "Who? Why? What the hell did I do? No, wait, it must be you!"
~~~~~
"Why? They probably are more mature right?" Glenn asked as he worked on this third chicken sandwich. "I can't stand these kids... they're so mean... and I hate them. I wanna get back at them for picking on me. Like make them fall in a hole out of nowhere or something."
