245 Laura's Nightmares Coming True?

"Okaasan, the tournament at the academy will start in a few days. Shouldn't we do something?" Sylvie asked her mother.

"Hun, are you afraid of people attacking you in the academy? If they ever do, just tell me. I will make sure they won't see you ever again." Laura said as she stroked Sylvie's head.

"Okaasan, I am not participating in the tournament," Sylvie told her mother.

"Of course you'll do well in the tournament. You are my child, after all, wait what? You aren't participating, sweetie?" Laura said until she had a moment of realization over what Sylvie had just said.

"Mhm, I think I'd be bullying everyone if I participated. The rewards are pretty bad anyway. So I didn't want to, I let my friends participate to have fun." Sylvie said.

"Oh, that's pretty nice of you sweetie. Say, who are your friends? You should tell me about them." Laura said as she recalled her nightmare where there were four boys surrounding her.
