20 Chap 19 – Tiger Mom

After the bishops' incident, Alessa went to school to stop them from using her son as a weapon.

The director and Alessa disagreed on whether he should be used on the front lines.

The problem is that there have already been too many casualties because of these bishops. It would be better if someone were willing to take responsibility and do their best to stop them. That person might end up being Alessa's son. A week after what happened with the bishops of lust, Alessa Tonhaed was meeting with the principals of the school.

"If he defeated three bishops, he should help hunt down that accursed church," the director said.

"My son is only sixteen and he won't get into a stupid fight," Alessa replied.

The principal sighed in exasperation at her lack of action; he had been trying to convince the woman since before they even heard about the first bishop attack on campus. "I know you don't want your son involved but if we have no one else and this keeps happening then it will be our job to protect these children." He turned back toward his desk as though nothing more needed saying.

Alessa stood up from behind her chair and walked over toward him. She leaned forward until she could look straight into his eyes: a direct gaze that made the man feel uncomfortable for some reason. His face grew redder by the second while he struggled to find something meaningful enough to say without sounding like an idiot or making himself sound weak.

After several seconds passed, the man finally gave in and spoke. "What are you suggesting?"

"The mess is yours, you guys can deal with it."

The director knows that it won't be easy to convince Alessa because she's a very protective mother.

The only being who can master all the elements is Albert, he single-handedly defeated three of the bishops.

There are only those who can stop Aztaroth from resurrecting.

"You already have a hero of yours," Alessa protested.

"He won't get ready."

She twisted in anger when she heard the answer.

"You take a child off the street, train him in a dirty way, and now you want my son to pay for that?" Alessa asked with anger.

The director tried to explain himself again but the words coming out of his mouth sounded less convincing than last time.

"You would be his teacher, the headmaster said with apprehension.

"I'm not going to teach that nasty dog."

The hero's first impression was the worst of all time.

When he saw her, he tried to grab her breasts, but Alessa wouldn't let it go.

Alessa has hated the hero with all her might since then.

Alessa doesn't believe the hero will ever become strong enough to defeat the bishops.

That boy is useless.

She wants to punch him so hard that he'll never be the same.

"Don't be harsh on him, he's just a little boy."

"I won't train him even if I die."

Alessa left the office feeling very frustrated and angry. The headmaster followed her outside.

"Please reconsider... please..." he pleaded.

It wasn't the first time he begged her to change her mind, and he knew it wouldn't be the last either.

The director's pleas were useless.

Alessa loved her son Albert and would not let him risk his life. Her decision was final.

A woman stopped walking and grabbed a principal's collar.

At that moment, his red hair and eyes gave her a feeling of superiority over the director; however, the director couldn't deny the fact that the woman had a good point when it came to protecting her family.

"Listen here director, I know you've been manipulating events so my son would have a problem with those lunatics," Alessa glared at the director.

"Sorry," the director said awkwardly.

"If this happens again, I won't come back here as vice principal, but as a mother who will do everything she can to protect her child, is that clear?"

The director nodded.

Alessa released his collar and continued to walk away.

Once she reached home she went inside the bedroom where she found her son sleeping peacefully.

"Son?" she whispered gently.

Her voice woke him up immediately.

"Mom!"

"How long have you been awake?"

"About half an hour."

Alessa smiled seeing how happy her son looked.

"Good morning," Albert chirped.

"From today, I will be vice principal of the school, I was able to solve my problems faster than expected."
