"Rebellion in Gallean Town-2"

"Eh? Are you sure?" Ivory gasped. She then asked, "My normal mana?"

The Vampire Servant nodded.

"Then she might be… my relative?!" she opened her mouth in shock. "Oh my… then I must save her!" Without second thought, she ran towards them and stood between the two.

"What the f- that birdbrain…!" Sigmund stood up, then followed his Master.

Ivory yelled, "Stop, please!"

But it was too late. Euphorie's legs were tightly constricted by Venomsplash, while Hans had already created a large ball of fire pointing to her.

Ivory prayed to Goddess Destinia in her mind before she even tried to interrupt the fight. She might die in that situation, but she was very determined to stop their fight. If Hans' fireball killed Euphorie, she might have a hard time finding another person with the same mana type as her. Where in the whole kingdom would she and Sigmund find a possible relative with the same mana? There were far too many people to look into!

Sigmund suddenly sensed that she released some of her extraordinary mana, so he tried to jump in and save his Master who stood in the middle. But there was an invisible, strong barrier, which surprised him, and so he was thrown on the floor at the far back of the room.

Ivory held the two wooden sticks tightly, and these glowed together with her light blue irises. She pointed one stick towards the ball of fire, and the other stick towards Euphorie.

"No… No one will die!!!" Ivory yelled with sheer determination.

A second after, Hans released the ball of fire, but their attention was all caught by the blinding light coming from ivory. Slowly, at the same time, one small crystal ball appeared at the edge of each stick. The one pointed at the ball of fire had a white crystal, while the one pointed at Euphorie had a black crystal. The large ball of fire disappeared as soon as they approached the staff!

Not only did Ivory stop the big damage it might have caused, but her broken wooden staffs also fused together into a single, long gray staff with a white crystal ball on one edge and a black crystal ball on the other. The shaft was also entwined with oakwood weavings.

After seeing Ivory's great power, Hans widened his eyes as he was stoned in surprise. He was overwhelmed by the superior magic technique that she had shown and decided to lay low while the strong Master was still in the middle.

Sigmund then ran towards Ivory and checked on her, "Why the hell did you put up a barrier against me?"

Ivory smiled at her Servant, "I apologize, Sigmund."

"Good thing you successfully fused your extraordinary mana with your normal one and that you didn't lose control." He grabbed her arm after, "Don't do it again and let me handle such dangerous things... I was very worried."

She blushed at the thought that Sigmund was worried about her, but she immediately erased the thought, incorporating the idea that it is common sense for a Servant like him.

Since she used too much of her extraordinary mana, her cloak and layers of cloth were torn, and the string which was knotted behind her back had gotten loose. The true size of her chest and her feminine figure was exposed!

"You…!" She stared at her with such anger. "What is a woman doing here?! This is my kingdom! I should be the most beautiful woman in Gallean Town and no one else!"

Because Euphorie was startled with Ivory's sudden revelation, Sigmund managed to weaken the hardened clay using his mana. He ran at full speed towards Ivory while setting up a bubble barrier, and pushed Euphorie away using his full strength.

She ended up a bit further and laid flat on the ground, and knights in full armor suddenly entered the devastated room. They first took Euphorie and chained her hand at her back with enchanted metal cuffs and a specialized muzzle to prevent her from casting any kind of magic, while Venomsplash returned to its inactive, smaller state and wrapped itself onto his Master's arm. It readied itself for further orders, but Hans willingly gave up himself to the knights, ordering his Servant not to do anything.

"I really didn't intend to cause a rebellion, especially in my hometown. I just wanted to free my father from that woman's spell," he explained to them. "I apologize for the ruckus me and my companion rebels have caused. Please take care of my father… And please tell the King… to help Gallean Town to go back to normal, revise the city laws once again, and regain its glory."

One knight, who has more flashy armor than the rest of the knights, removed his closed helmet and revealed his cyan hair and violet striking eyes, "I shall make sure it will reach His Majesty's ears." He then turned to Ivory, whose bubble barrier had just dissipated. "That light… It must have been caused by a strong mana. You are a strong Master. When did you graduate from the academy?"

"Uhm… I am only in my second year, sir," Ivory said politely.

"I see, then you must be a prodigy," Seeing that the student's Servant was glaring at him, he finally introduced himself, "I am Xenos Joltane, a Royal Knight."

"A… Royal Knight?!" she exclaimed, and she compared his armor to the others, which was icy white in color with grayish undertones and was accented with gold streaks. The closed helmet had gold wings at the end of the visor and the comb was designed with a crested dragon. "I apologize for not recognizing your armor, sir!"

Xenos chuckled, "It's alright. You actually helped us a lot, because this woman needed to be captured alive and be sent to the Silverblade Castle."

"The Silverblade Castle?!" Ivory was worried that she might not discover Euphorie's origin or relation to her if she would be sent that far. "Uhm sir, I need to ask her a few questions, can I speak with her?"
