As expected, soon enough Guy was called to the principal’s room. Arriving there, he needed to wait and spotted a cute acolyte sitting in the waiting benches.

— Did they already get you? — Asked Guy.

Nero didn’t say anything and just looked away hiding how hard he was blushing and feeling outraged.

— Are you okay? — Guy continued.

The principal’s room door opened, Guy left Nero and got in. Arian, wearing new clothes, and the college’s principal welcomed him with serious expressions, although Arian face was hiding how he was insecure about it.

— Why Nero is outside? — Asked Guy, taking a seat, or two, because of his big armor.

— Silence! — Said the principal, making it sound like thunder. — You were not allowed to talk yet!

— If you wish… — Guy replied.

— Your petit ami was the one who came to me and told us all the plans you both had. You caused all the trouble today in Arian’s presentation, didn’t you?

— Yes, that was me — Guy replied. Arian was fidgeting in his seat.

— Bold of you to assume right away, may I say — the principal got up and closer to Guy, as the student height in his black armor was making him feel small in comparison while sitting. — Should I ask you why?

— Yes? — Guy asked back.

— They tell me to hear the students — the principal said, looking Guy from above — to know everything before screwing their successful lives. I’m obliged to ask you why. However, if you don’t have any proof of your innocence I will just…

— I do.

— What? — Said the principal. Both he and Arian looked to Guy distrusting him. Arian was sweating clouds now, almost losing control of his weather powers.

— I do have proof — Guy completed.

— What on Geonova would you possibly have to make you innocent out of this? — Questioned the principal, almost losing his patience.

— This — Guy turned his arm to turn his wave navigator screen on and turned it for the principal to read. — Arian specifically said in his Heatwave page that he would like to be embarrassed in public.

— Not ohm the first day at my electrical work! — Arian screamed, now showing how desperate he was, charging the air with static.

— Arian! — Shouted the principal.

— Yes, father… — answered him, turning cold blue.

— Woah! Are you son and father?! — Asked Guy, surprised.

— Silence! — Shouted the principal, making it more like thunder than a shout. — Arian and I aren’t family related. I’m from the Tempestas family.

— It still is family, though… — said Guy, seeing how sad Arian was now.

— You know how the family hierarchy works — said the principal, pointing out how biological families are considered less important than magical families.

— I know, my parents aren’t related to my magical family too.

— Silence! — The principal was getting angrier each time Guy had spoken. — I had enough of you. — He then turned to Arian, which was shrinking in his chair, getting violet pale. — Arian, Arian… Why couldn’t you be more like your brother?

— Maybe because he can’t be his brother? — Guy said, but he was ignored.

— I had a hard time getting you this job… and this is how you pay me back?

— B-But… dad — stuttered Arian, turning yellow. – I told you to not insulate my admission!

— Your mother was getting worried about you. I needed to do it!

— But I am electrified to the job!

— Not enough! You are not that qualified for the job! You are just a regular person who graduated from college!

— I had high voltage notes! I am well electrified to the job!

— Enough! With this scandal, I will lose my credibility! If the students ever come to know about your… your… damned kinks! They would never give me a reason to punish this delinquent! I would lose my job! I have no option, son, I need to fire you!

— Oh, but you will NOT do that! — Said Guy out loud, being sure to get their attention this time.

— What is this now, mister Slayer? — Asked the principal. — Aren’t you happy enough with your absolution? You can leave now!

— Oh, yeah, I can leave! But Arian will NOT be fired! — Guy stood up and showed to the principal his wave navigator screen again. — Or I will leak YOUR Heatwave profile.

— You are bluffing! I don’t have a Heatwave profile!

Guy smiled and started reading it:

— “I’m an old man who is looking for a young boy to call me daddy”

— Stop reading it! — Demanded the principal, getting red.

— “I miss so much my young ‘boys’. Come and light me up!”

— Watt?! — Questioned Arian, surprised.

— This… This isn’t true! — Now it was the principal time to stutter.

— Oh, but I didn’t say the best part yet! — Guy threatened.

— Don’t you dare say it!

— Or what? Do you want to get this to the court and get caught as the respectable ‘daddy’ that you are?

— You can’t prove it’s me!

— No? I know a few of those youngish men you have already met. I’m not new on Heatwave, you know.

Arian jaw couldn’t drop any lower.

— Dad! How could you! I’m shocked!

— That’s… That’s totally not me!

Arian didn’t stop staring at his father in disbelief.

— Guy, please, tell me watt is the most negative part.

— “I can let you gang bang me if you have friends”.

Arian rubbed his face, turning magenta again.

— And I am the family short circuit, ain’t I? You were the ohm who taught me how to follow the circuit! How to leave those discharged things aside to focus on my electrical studies! You wanted me to be the high voltage! Now I can connect the right wires! — He got closer to his father’s face. — Then tell me that this ‘fake account’ doesn’t come from your electrical system in my face!

— Before you can say anything, mister Tempestas — said Guy. — This account has more than a hundred thousand followers. This isn’t something that you started now. You have been working on it for a while and, wow! You do have more than one million ‘light up’s! You are quite famous, mister ‘Daddy’.

— Enough! — A dark cloud was forming over the principal’s head and his skin turned green in response. — None of you will ever tell anyone about this!

Guy smiled:

— Arian keeps his job and nothing happens to my friend who is outside and me.

— But you can’t get out of this unpunished! They would like to come up with an investigation after this scandal!

— Hum… I have an idea! — Guy was really happy with it.

— Tell me about it, then! — The principal cloud was clearing.

— I want to take classes with Arian, my friend and I will have extra work from the field control classes. What do you think?

— Excellent! — The principal hurried to say. — Now you two leave before I change my mind!

Guy had a triumphant look in his face under the armor while both got out of the room. Still by the door, Arian wanted to say something to Guy:

— Thank you… For helping me discharge my dad.

— You are welcome! — Guy smiled, though still hidden in his armor.

— But let me ask you about some things that are discharging me… Why did you shock me light that?

— You are hot, and you like undies as I do too.

Arian got red-orange. He does love them a lot.

— Okay, you noticed watt charges me up! But, how did you connect its wires? I just connected it some days ago! No ohm should power it up!

— Man, you really talk hard!

— That’s how I normally power my voice…

— Really? How is that even possible?

— It’s just is! Well, I wasn’t charged with it when I was born, obviously, but when my brother and I powered it up, I couldn’t turn it off!

— Interesting. Hot and cute, and wears colorful undies, I like that.

Arian got more reddish and embarrassed.

— Do you power it so?

— If I “think about it like that”?

— Positive…

— Oh, sure! You should check on your Heatwave profile again, you will get a surprise!

— Okay, okay! Turn the Heatwave thing off! I still didn’t get where I want to charge! Why a Bellum would light to take field control charges? You guys are pretty much off for magic!

— Not really. That’s why I looked for the best teacher. I know you will help me learn about field control.

— But… why? Why are you so magnetized in field control if you can’t do field control properly?

— I’m want to be a combatant like my mom — Combatants, different from heroes that are forced to stay in one city, can travel around the world to fulfill lots of different quests.

— Your mom? Watt is her family power?

— She’s from the Jaw family.

— An advisor? Do you light to get charged on combats?

— Yup! My mom said I would need to know field control if I need to face more powerful people out there. It comes in handy when you need to detect people and protect yourself.

— It connects the wires to me now…

— Yeah, and my main element is body, but my second element is darkness, I can use it to my advantage.

— Being a combatant… It turned me on!

Guy made a smirking face and giggled.

— Watt?! — Said Arian, knowing he said something silly. — Don’t get me on the wrong wire! I mean, I lighted the idea… It’s positive! I would light to be ohm too!

— Really? Maybe you can take me to some quests with you, then! I will need some supervision to get on my first missions!

— If you promise to get off my undies from now on…

— Well, I can’t promise that… You do wear them too well for your own sake!

Arian turned red again.

— I see what wires you want to connect, but I’m not available for that welding!

— Haha! — Guy Laughed. — I’m not interested in that too. I like you as a friend, really! Even if you are a hot friend with a nice taste on undies. I have this cute boy right there to talk to, though…

— Yeah, I can connect the wires to see why you light him…

— See you later, teacher Arian — said Guy, waving to him.

— Charging later, mister Slayer.

Waling closer, Guy abruptly sat by Nero’s side.

— So… Why did you give it out?

— I… I freaked out, okay!

— You liked Arian! He does have a nice body, though…

— …

— But that doesn’t explain why you told them you were part of the plan. I thought you would be out of it and just tell them I was the sole culprit.

— …

— Nero, why would you consider me your partner in the plan?

— …

— And principally, why would you wait for me here all this time?

— … — Nero was almost crying. Until he felt something pulling on his pants through the gap on the side of his robe. He looked to the side and saw Guy’s finger pulling it and showing some of his underwear. — WHAT THE FUCK!!!

— Haha! You still use the same kind of underwear! I love them!

— I’m going to fucking kill you!!! — Nero shouted like a beast ready to attack.

— I like you too Nero… — and Guy ran away.

Nero chased him all the way to the nearest coffee shop and offered some doughnuts to him. Nero calmed down while eating.

— How did you…

— I still remember what you liked back in school…

— Well, you could have known that I hated people’s attention…

— Sorry for that, I simply love your undies.

Nero giggled.

— They are just common white ones! I don’t have money to buy fancy ones… Each one I bought was with my… own money…

— Yeah, but they make you look even cuter. Oh, to remember you putting them up…

— What the… How much did you see?

— Do you really want to know?

— I… I shouldn’t! But, did you see… them?

— That you have scars all over?

— Yeah…

— I did hear about how hard it can be for an acolyte to be a saint…

— Principally for being a failure one… I… I didn’t want to be one… Deep down, I just want to… Do it…

— And why you don’t try it?

— Dunno… It doesn’t work… I had the luck to escape with it whole… Some boys get null if they show any… sinner thoughts…

— Well, they are just afraid of you becoming a monster. A corrupted saint can only be banned. Not even killing them would work as their body can be instantly remade…

— Would you… kill me if you could?

— No. I like you too much to kill you.

— Even if I became a monster? — Nero felt Guy’s hand on his pants again. — What the fucking hell!

— Monsters don’t wear cute undies!

Nero got up, pissed.

— I will teach you to never look inside my pants… — he charged his fist and punched Guy with all his might — …EVER AGAIN!

Guy was launched away, with a huge punch mark on his armor chest. Guy was still daydreaming midair:

— Worth it…

Not long after the discussion, Arian checked his Heatwave profile.

— ‘HotGuy20’ marked you on his post… Watt? How did he get my undies? And how did I get ten thousand light ups?! Watt the actual fuck? Waitt… Did they light it? Did they really light it? Does someone really turn on for… me? Me and not Adrian? By the Great God! Maybe this Heatwave thing wasn’t so bad after all… Oh my, they really light my underwear…
