"Bang!"
Shirou's fist fiercely knocked away a child who was bullying Sylphy. He clearly didn't hold back at all, aiming to severely teach all these little brats a lesson.
To this end, he even deliberately used earth magic to block the road, not giving these children a chance to run around.
"You...you doing this, aren't you afraid we'll go to the adults and complain!"
Seeing Shirou's violent appearance, a group of Buena village little kids panicked. They completely didn't expect that this boy of the same age would be so fierce. The main thing was that the other side clearly had such powerful strength, but didn't show any mercy, completely without holding back against them.
Of course, Shirou wasn't aiming to kill these kids. He wasn't so cruel as to kill people casually.
But, he had to give this bunch of little bastards a deep lesson, letting them know what things they could do, and what things they absolutely couldn't do!
"Shirou, maybe you should stop."
Rudeus looked at Shirou, and couldn't help but try to stop him.
Hitting people like this would bring no small trouble afterwards. It was hard to imagine how fierce the parents' reactions would be after they knew about this.
However, Shirou didn't care about this at all. He glanced at Rudeus, and quietly said:
"Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for my actions. You can go and call these guys' parents over now. I want to teach their kids a lesson in front of them!"
"Shirou..."
Rudeus was stunned. He never expected Shirou to say such powerful words. For a moment he just felt his blood rushing, and he quickly helped Shirou strengthen the earth magic.
Yes, although he didn't want to directly participate, he still had the courage to help Shirou. Or rather, he had a lot of courage!
"Eee!!"
Seeing that Shirou had no intention of letting them go, a group of Buena village kids panicked on the spot. Several of the kids tried to run away in the chaos, but found that the ground under their feet had turned into mud at some point.
Rudeus used a mixed magic of water and earth magic to create a mud, directly blocking the children's escape routes.
"Shirou, I'll help you!!"
Rudeus made up his mind. Although he hadn't completely overcome the cowardice and fear in his heart, Shirou's presence also made him realize that he was no longer the same person he used to be, because now there was an older brother by his side who was more reliable than anyone else.
If the other person acted like this, and he still didn't have the courage to step forward, Rudeus felt that he probably wouldn't have the face to stand by Shirou's side in the future.
"Rudy, your magic just now..."
Shirou was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had seen Rudeus' mud magic.
This kind of mixed magic created through water and earth magic, in a way, had a similar concept to his sword magic.
Rudeus couldn't use this level of mixed magic before. Clearly, he had worked hard in private for a long time to develop this special magic.
"You really are amazing, Rudy."
Shirou said with emotion, praising his younger brother's talent in magic.
"So so, just okay..."
Although he said humble words, the corners of Rudeus' mouth were almost turned up to the sky at that moment.
Being able to get Shirou's praise was, for him now, even happier than achieving something in magic.
While the two brothers were talking to each other, the children of Buena village were completely in chaos. They struggled frantically in the muddy ground, trying to escape, but couldn't.
At the same time, Shirou had already walked towards them with a cold expression. His cold gaze was like looking at a group of worthless ants.
"Although I don't promote the use of violence, I regret to say that I know even more clearly that sometimes you have to use violence to solve problems. Since you dared to do that to Sylphy, you should have thought about the day when things would fall on your own heads. If you still have a bit of backbone, grit your teeth for me and don't cry!"
"Wait! Wait!"
Before several of the children could react to Shirou's words, Shirou kicked them directly, followed by a series of heavy punches without any hesitation.
Shirou had already made up his mind that he had to use violence to make these children deeply realize how bad their actions were and that they needed to be punished.
People often have to learn and understand principles from lessons. Tolerance and understanding often don't get understanding and tolerance, but instead, they get progressively more reckless indulgence.
At least for Shirou, since that snowy night, he had nothing to do with words like giving way and tolerating.
For him now.
As long as anyone wanted to hurt his family, wanted to hurt the people he cared about, he would use his actions to let the other person know the price they would have to pay for doing these things!
"Waa, don't hit me, don't hit me!"
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"Waa, I want to go home, Mom, Mom!!"
"..."
A group of little devils were unbelievably arrogant when faced with Sylphy, looking completely fearless, but now when faced with Shirou, who used violence without any mercy, their previous arrogance and recklessness had disappeared. They were all crying and wailing, crying and yelling on the ground.
And even with their desperate cries, Shirou still didn't plan to show mercy. His iron fist still slammed hard into the faces of the children who were trying to escape, and the places he hit showed obvious bruises very clearly.
Only stronger violence can restrain people's destructive nature.
Shirou deeply understood this.
"No, don't..."
In the end, Shirou only had one boy left in front of him. He watched the other boys being either beaten into pig heads by Shirou, or simply beaten into a coma, and was so scared that his legs were weak and he peed his pants.
And when Shirou saw the boy's face, a slight expression of suppression appeared:
"I remember you are...Somar? Mrs. Somar's son?"
"You, you know me?"
When little Somar heard Shirou's words, a look of joy appeared on his face, "That's right, I'm Somar! I know I was wrong, I won't ever do it again, for my Mom's sake..."
"For your Mom's sake, I have to give you a deep lesson!"
Shirou's attitude didn't show any tolerance because the other person was someone he knew.
Or rather, precisely because the other person was someone he knew, he had to make the other person understand that paying a price for every action was the right thing to do.
Mrs. Somar was already working hard enough to take care of the family alone, so surely that's why she didn't have time to take care of her child, resulting in Somar becoming so naughty.
Since that's the case, instead of waiting for him to continue causing trouble in the future and bringing trouble to Mrs. Somar, he might as well take the place of her already deceased father to give him a solid beating.
"If you're a man, grit your teeth and don't cry, otherwise, you won't be able to protect the people you want to protect in the future!"
Shirou gave Somar some advice out of good intentions.
But his fist slammed into Somar's nose bridge without any mercy, followed by a set of combination punches, without showing any mercy because the other person was a child.
"Waa waa waa, it hurts, it hurts so much, I won't do it again, I won't ever do it again, waa waa..."
As Somar collapsed on the ground, crying and wailing in despair.
It could be said that a group of Buena village children were left with an extremely deep impression by Shirou.
They probably wouldn't forget today for the rest of their lives, unable to forget the clear marks Shirou left on them with his fists.
"Shirou..."
Rudeus felt incredibly relieved seeing this, and even the psychological shadow from his previous life was somewhat resolved along with this incident.
Like receiving a savior in time and space.
However, he quickly showed a worried expression, that was, Shirou's actions this time were really too much.
So many children were seriously injured by him alone. The people of Buena village would cause an unimaginable amount of trouble later on.
Not to mention the possibility of parents coming to ask for compensation...
Paul, as a knight lord, probably wouldn't have the ability to resolve all of this.
"Don't worry, I said I'll take full responsibility for everything."
Shirou shook his head, telling Rudeus not to worry too much.
He then came to Sylphy's side, and picked up Sylphy who was covered in mud, and you could say was covered in scars and tattered clothes.
"Shirou...."
Tears appeared in the green-haired girl's eyes. At this moment, she didn't even know what to say to describe her feelings. She only felt that her heart had gone through great ups and downs, and was now completely in a daze, and even suspected that all of this was just an overly beautiful dream she was having.
"Let's go, let's go home."
Shirou carried Sylphy on his back, glanced at the many children wailing on the ground, not caring even the slightest bit, and turned around and walked directly towards the Greyrat house.
Back at the Greyrat house, the maid Lilia came out of the room. She had been staying at the Greyrat house because of her leg problems, so she had expected everything that had happened. Now, seeing the embarrassed Sylphy and the cold-looking Shirou, she wasn't surprised at all.
"Do you need me to help deal with this?"
Lilia took the initiative to speak, hoping to participate in this matter.
Shirou hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Well, Lilia, go and tell the parents of those children to come and take their children back."
"Okay."
Lilia nodded. She had always had this personality, she would seriously follow orders, and wouldn't ask any unnecessary questions.
And hearing the two people's words, Sylphy and Rudeus couldn't help but show worried expressions, afraid that this incident would affect Shirou later.
