Precious: What do you mean?
Pretty: Remove your best pet Rex from your neck, show your eyes, and remove this mask!
Pretty grabs the mask and throws it away. Rex also leaves.
Pretty: Hmm… (nod) Now you look like the old Eye I know…

On a battlefield, Precious appears and releases his aura army.
(Flashback ends)
Other Student: Oh yeah! I saw him on the news!
Natsu: What?! (whisper) He's an ugly bastard! How can someone like him defeat Primordial Black?!
Pretty (thinking): But it was Secret Sky who defeated Primordial Black and his army… I don't remember Eye being there… (Read earlier chapters for more info)
Random Student: Yeah! That's right! He's not that kid! He's just some village family child!
Students: Right! Right!
Shai (thinking): What is going on…?
Precious (thinking): Why are they so angry at me?
Random Student: No! I'm sure it's him! His eyes are the same!
Student 2: That was two years ago! How do you remember his eyes?!
Student 3: Yeah, he's just another nobody! That person was someone else!

Pretty: Wait! What is going on?!

Natsu (whisper): Simple. How dare he get engaged to you?! You are mine! No one can take you!
Pretty: !!
Natsu: Come on everyone! Let's go to the principal and tell him to expel this kid!
Everyone: Yeah! Right!
They all leave.
Lior: What was that?
Aquira: I don't know.
Shai: But this is not right!
Pretty: Why are you not doing anything, Eye?!
Precious: Because all these students are under Natsu's control.
Lior, Shai, Aquira & Pretty: What?! (shock)
Mind Talk
Kail (Precious's Manas Skill): Then just break his control. Simple.
Precious: I can, but I don't want to. Even if I free them, they still won't accept me easily.
Kail: Then what will you do?
Precious: For now, I'll wait.
Kail: Wait for what?
Precious: For Principal Rana's answer.
Scene – Principal's Office
Natsu and some students enter the principal's room.
Natsu: Principal sir! We want Precious to be rusticated!
Rana: ? Why? What did he do?
Natsu: How can a mere village family child study in this school?!
Rana: This school doesn't only teach rich families. It judges capability, not background.
Natsu: I don't care! You must expel him! He looks so weird! His eyes—eww!
Rana: Sorry, I can't.
Natsu: Why?!
Other Student: Yes, why?!
Rana: Because he is a recommended student.
Natsu: Recommended my ass!
Rana: Mind your language!
Natsu: Sorry, but one of my teachers recom—
Rana: He was recommended by the Wise Principal from Secret Sky City.
Natsu: ! (shock)
Rana: So I can't expel him. And why should I?
Natsu: You think that kid is more important than this school?! If you don't agree—
Rana: What can you do?
Natsu: Don't you know who I am?! I am the son of Duke Kasari! If you don't follow my conditions, this school will be destroyed!
Rana (thinking): Humans never change, even after 1000 years… always proud of their status and rank… tch.
Rana: Fine… I will do it.
Natsu: Good!
Natsu (thinking): You Precious! You dared to marry Pretty! Now I'll show you the power of noble blood!
