Ch: 5 || • Mash, y/n and unpopular student •||
"I have to do it! I have to do it! I have to do my potions assignment!" Finn's panicked voice echoed through the wall.
"You still haven't done it yet?" You asked, entering the room with Lance.
Mash shifted his gaze at Lance. "Ohh it's Lolicon and Stalker."
" That's siscon and self-proclaimed husband to you", Lance corrected him.
"Loitering around doing nothing... " Lance approached Finn and Mash. "You two are the dictionary definition of slackers."
Finn's expression turned into full of surprise. "Wait, Lance, y/n did you guys finish already?"
"Of course. We're lot more conscious than you are." Lance uttered arrogantly.
' I should've expected that from the top student in our class but it was unexpected from y/n', Finn mused, ' Lance is simply flawless'.
"Guys like you might ruin the dorm's reputation." Lance remarked, looking at Mash. "Have some shame."
Mash gripped Lance's locket and opened it to show him. As soon as Mash showed him the photo. A bright Holi light flashed from the photos.
Lance's mouth hangs open in awe.
He got overwhelmed by cuteness and flew backward by himself. The impact was pretty hard which made the wall crack.
"He flew backward by himself?!" Finn exclaimed with sweatdrop.
'Seems like Mash has found out his weakness.' You mused, keeping your gaze at Lance.
When Lance looked at the glowing image, blood spurted from his mouth.
'O, my precious! Foisting thy fair light upon my feeble eyes unwarned!' Lance's body dropped on the floor.
He closed his eyes and smiled happily.
'Tis my fate to succumb to thy infinite warmth.'
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"You use these for the potions assignment." Lance dug out a screaming radish. "A mandragora. Silence their screams and they become a universal ingredient in potions."
"Oh, another thing that uses magic." Mash glanced at radish with a black look.
Furrowing his brows, Finn glanced at Mash. "Another? You know this is magic school right?"
"I'll show you how it's done." Lance placed the radish on the desk then
pointed his wand at Radish. "Quientus." The radish glowed light blue before it hushed down. "You try."
"Okay." Finn nodded. Mash and finn took a radish.
Finn attempted first. "Quintus!" It illuminated just for a second before fading away. "Quientus." Finn tried again but failed. "I can't do it. It won't stop screaming."
" Finn", mash called, " Your center of gravity is unstable. Your core muscles are quite weak".
"Huh? Core muscles?" Finn muttered with confusion.
It was now Mash's turn. Mash pointed his wand at the screaming radish. "Quientus," but it aggravated the radish even more. As a result, it screamed its lungs out.
Finn's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open when he saw that. 'I think it's gotten worse. its pupils are dilated, too.'
"It's probably screaming for its right. How cute." You chuckled, eyeing the duo of Mash and Radish.
'Where the hell did that come from?!' Finn cried out in his head.
You poked Finn's cheek after noticing him staring off into space. "Finn, concentrate your magic on a single point."
"Oh, Okay." Finn nodded.
"Listen Finn. Visualize gently caressing it as you release the magic." You explained.
"O-okay." Finn pointed his wand at the screaming radish. "Quientus." The radish glowed blue.
"Slowly. That's it." Lance instructed, analyzing Finn's procedure.
Finn's body shuddered with elation as he realized he had successfully silenced the radish. "I did it! I did it, y/n! Lance!"
"You did well Finn." You patted his head gently with a conceited look on your face. As if he had achieved something so tremendous.
"It's all thanks to you and Lance." Finn's face flushed under your touch.
"Even slackers like you should be able to do this much." Lance complimented in his own way.
"Thanks!" Finn's face lit up with elation.
You shifted your gaze at Mash to check his process. Noticing how big the radish had evolved, you whistled.
"Wow that radish was fighting for its right so hard that it ended up being a monster. How amusing."
"Monster?" Finn turned his head to look. As soon as his gaze landed on the radish. Finn became immobilized on the spot.
The giant radish began to bang his arms around, breaking some ceilings and ground. You quickly picked Finn up in bride style and leaped back to avoid the swing of the radish arm and some dropping debris.
It went to attack Mash, but Mash slapped it on the cheek, leaving his hand mark on it. The radish spat out blood before collapsing to the ground. "I did it," Mash stated flatly, but you could tell he was pleased with himself for completing his task.
"Did you really, though?" Finn wondered. The realization of his position caused his face to flush. "Y-Y/n you can put me down now."
' That lucky brat'. Lance clicked his tongue, " Please do it quickly ".
"Sure." You dropped him on the floor.
Finn groaned, rubbing his hip. "That's not how I wanted to be put down." Seeing a blank look on your face. He sighed in defeat. 'Why I'm lost for words again?'
Lance held radish, " Once they're asleep, they turn into a regular herb. Now we can create a compound ". He headed toward the kitchen," Compounding is comparatively simple. Watch closely". Lance placed radish on the chopping board, taking a knife " Take this", He began to chop them at incredible speed, "and first do this ", He turned to make a paste of it, "then do this ", he fried it on the pan, " and do this ". Lance dropped some salt, " And with this". Lance made it and placed it on the table, " It's done". He smirked, looking at you, "See y/n ain't I a perfect husband material?"
"Yeah." You nodded slightly. "Lance I wanna eat ramen."
Lance bowed, placing his hand on the chest. "As you wish my lady."
'That's not easy at all!' Finn mused.
"Got it." Mash claimed.
"You've got to be lying!" finn exclaimed, giving him a doubtful look.
"Not really." Mash placed the radish on the chopping board and
confidently held out the knife. "Trust me as long as it's not magic." Mash mimicked Lance's every movements.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Mash placed compound on the table but instead of green paste, it was a cream puff.
Finn's eyes got completely white, mouth agape in shock. 'That's totally not it! How did that end up as a cream puffs.'
"You're screwing around, aren't you?" Lance crossed his arms, giving him a doubtful glare.
"I'm not screwing around." Mash defended himself. After a few minutes of silence. Lance decided to teach him again.
Lance began to teach Mash. "You start like this." He chopped some radish.
"Kay." Mash mimicked him.
" Then you add this "
" kay "
" Stir well "
" Kay "
" Add this last "
" kay "
"Okay." Mash nodded. Even after following the same instructions, Mash just ended up making another cream puff.
Lance left completely aghast. "Why is this? I watched him from start to finish. When did it become a cream puff?"
You sighed, patting Lance's shoulder, " It's a gag logic. You won't be able to piece it out even if you rack your brain for eternity"
Lance snapped out of his shocked phase and looked at Mash. "You're completely useless when not fighting huh?"
"Well yeah." Mash admitted the fact with a straight face.
'Why is he so confident?' Lance mused. He sighed, removing his kerchief from his head. "Ohh well let me warn you." Lance expression turned into a stern one. "I won't lose to you ever again. There is a reason I need to join the Bureau of Magic."
"And that is?" Mash asked curiously.
"It's none of your business." Lance dismissed. "But you equaled me, if not more in combat. I'll not allow some nobody to take your coins away from you."
"You don't have to warn me. Because it won't happen." Mash muttered confidently.
"Quick with the comeback" Lance stated, tying kerchief on his head. "I guess it's only natural when you stick with y/n. Let's try again."
Mash nodded. "Kay."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Holy shit, it looks so delicious. Thanks for making it Lance." Your face lit up with rapture at the sight of deliciously cooked ramen on the table. Its mind blowing aroma filled your nostrils. You joined your hands together and locked your eyes. "Thanks for the meal." Opening your eyes, You parted chopsticks and began to slurp it.
"Of course, I can make anything for you; just name the dishes." Lance close-lipped smiled.
'He sure looks so smug about it.' You nodded, slurping it.
Lance took a sit beside you, leaning close to your shoulder, "Won't I get a chance to taste it? I made it after all~".
"Fine but just one bite." You carefully gripped noodles on the chopsticks and turned yourself to feed him.
Lance looked exhilarated and opened his mouth. You placed your palm beneath the chopsticks. So the soup won't fall on your thigh.
Tilting his head, Lance slurped noddles whilst side-glancing at you. Some drop of soup fell on your palm.
" Don't you think that'll consider an indirect kiss? ", Finn whispered to Mash.
Mash just tilted his head confused. "I'm sure y/n don't think that way? So it won't be, right?" Finn sweatdrop at mash blunt remark.
As Lance was done slurping them. He smirked before licking his lip, "I've never eaten noodles this delicious before".
"Oh?" You mouthed.
"You should have taken a spoon." Finn remarked, looking at your palm.
You pointed your chopsticks at finn. "I prefer chopsticks."
"You sure do." Finn nodded with a sweatdrop. 'Y/n is from a noble family right? How come she lacks manners so much then?'
Lance gripped your fingers, bringing them to his lip. He slurped drops of soup from your palm. Lifting his head. He smirked, " You're all clean now".
You slightly smirked, " You'd be a perfect disposal, you know".
"Am I?" Lance hummed
"Let me eat." You forcefully took your hand back and began to slurp your remaining ramen.
'Get a room already!' Finn shrieked in his head.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The next day
"We're supposed to be having class here today." Lance reminded the group.
Finn turned his head to look at Lance. "What are we going to do here?"
Mash held his chin, giving some thought. "What do you do in a forest
...camping?"
"That's for leisure." Lance dismissed the idea of camping. "This is magic school."
" I'm number one! I'm number one!", A very enthusiastic voice exclaimed. You and others looked forth to see. A red spiky hair boy smugly walks around, " I, Dot Barrett, am the main character of this world! The world revolves around me! ".
"This world is full of deluding people won't it?" You blankly stared at the red spiky-haired boy.
"Whew! It's revolving a bit more than---" Dot scowled when he saw the trio of Lance, Mash and Finn looking at him. "Whaddaya think you're looking at?! "
"Weirdo." Mash murmured.
"Can't deny the fact." You nodded in agreement.
"A first year from our dorm." Lance
Lance stated after identifying him.
" wait, it's you! The mushroom head people keep talking about. You look like a side character to me" Dot teased him with a smirk.
"Who is this guy?" Mash frowned. Seemed like dot remark kinda offended him.
"Who gives a shit." You shrugged.
Hearing a soft feminine voice. Dot
snapped his head to look at you. His eyes shot wide open, lips parted slightly and visible blush coated on his cheek. 'A beautiful, talented, and surrounded by extras.' His heart thumped. 'She's giving a female lead vibe. That's mean.' Dot gulped and his body shook from euphoria.
Lance snaked his arm around your neck pulling you closer to him til your body hit his chest as he glared dot, " I know she is stunning but you're not allowed to look at her in that way. Don't look at my wifey with those looks on your eyes or else I'll gouge out them ".
Lance's remark triggered Dot. Dot opened his mouth to yell, but he was interrupted by Lemon's voice.
"Mash." Lemon chirped, running toward Mash. "Outdoor class is a bit scary. I'm not going to put myself too hard. So Mash please take care out there, okay? And you too y/n."
"Thanks." Mash nodded.
"So do you Lemon." You uttered.
Lemon blushed, nervously fidgeting her fingers. "Mash, could I possibly tag along--"
"Hey." Dot spat out at Mash's cheek. Which mash didn't mind at all. "I'll kill them!" Dot's body fumed with jealousy. Gripping his hair, he swirled his body back and forth. "I friggin' hate guys who get attention from women! I'll kill both of you! I'll triple-kill ya!"
"It's ridiculous, to begin with! The global ratio of men to women is supposed to be equal! So why isn't there a single girl falling in love with me!? That's right the answer is simple." Dot pointed a finger at Lance and then Mash. "It's because chumps like you ruin the system!"
Dot cried his eyes out, " Guys like you are why we have an aging population and a lower birthrate! Won't someone just settle for me!? That's why I made up my mind! I'm gonna join the Bureau of Magic and rid this world of hot guys!"
"You're just being paranoid." You slapped his cheek so hard that his body flew backwards and slammed against nearby tree. You jerked your hand, letting out a sigh of relief. "Finally some peace."
Finn sweatdropped, eyeing at dot.
"Was that necessary?"
Resting your hand on your hip, You looked at Finn. "He has no right to spit on Mash's cheek. Such impolite behavior irritates me. So I couldn't help."
" Y/n has impulse to slap people who get on her nerve ", lance remarked.
" I-I see ", finn shuttered,' Not she just has some screw loss but also impulse. Just how the hell she was raised?'
Dot blinked and his brain began to process what happened just now, ' she slapped me? '. He touched the mark on his cheek as small blush coated on his cheek,' Her hand was so soft?! So it's what feels like to be touched by a girl?! ', he beamed, closed-eyed, 'I was right. As a main character. It's only natural for me to marry the female lead. Since it's fate. It can't be avoided' Dot got up. He coughed before looking at you, " Um-"
"Quiet all of you." A professor came out of the fire. "Both Adler and Lang will participate in this outdoor exercise. Your reward will be either a bronze or silver coin. Brace yourself."
The professor pointed the wand as a pink circle occurred, showing an image of Scorpio. "Your task is the extermination of forest scorpions. Bring me the stones embedded in their forehead. Most forest scorpions will only earn you bronze coins, but a few are strong enough to be worth silver coins. You can identify them easily."
"If the stone in their forehead is square, they're worth silver. Ordinary magic users almost certainly don't stand a chance but such accomplish- ments make you Eatson students. Do what you must to survive. If you go, in order now."
"Yeah it's on!" Dot declared, giving a pissed glare to Mash and Lance. "No way I'm losing to you!"
"I'd like to make sure to get silver coin here." Lance murmured, completely ignoring him.
"I should do my best too." Mash stated.
"Yeah lets do our best." You smiled.
A silver-haired boy dropped his arm on Mash's shoulder. "You think you're hot stuff, right?" He rolled his eyes to glare mash. "I can tell. You think you're so special. You mistakenly think you're not like the others. You subconsciously look down on others don't you?" He took a few steps back and flicked his wand. With a flick of his wand, iron spikes materialized from the ground and smacked Mash straight into his abdomen.
"Asshole don't describe yourself. Anyone can tell you're the one who thinks you're that shit." You scowled, flicking your wand. "Icez spikes." Bunches of sharp spikes made of ice arose from the ground. As it was about to dig some hole into silver haired boy body. He immediately reacted and leaped back but one of the spikes grazed his cheek, making a trail of blood leak out from the wound.
"Oops, how could I forget about this arrogant bitch?" The silver-haired boy grinned widely. He swirled his tongue to lick his blood.
"How unsanitary. You're making me puke." You grimaced at the sight of him.
"Hey what are you two doing over there?" The professor turned to look.
"I'll mark you both down for that."
"Can't you tell?" You looked at professor over your shoulder. "That shitty brat thinks he's shit.Therefore he's picking a fight against Juniors."
The silver-haired boy raised his arms in a surrendering gesture. "Sorry professor. We were just horsing around." He walked forth and halted in his steps. He turned his head to look at Mash and you. "Right first years?"
Mash glared at him. He grinned widely to see that expression. "Yes, Yes. That's the look. I want to make a pathetically messed up face outta you."
" What a pathetic brat. Can't handle his jealousy. Probably Mash's awesomeness showed him where he belong ", you laughed insanely, "Hence he couldn't help it. But bear a grudge against Mash after all that's what rats do...haha what a fvcking loser, thinking he is mighty but in fact, he is inferior than a Bug. I never knew this Academy standard is so low. To let good for nothing like him in. I'm feeling completely disgusted to share this air with him".
'Damn her sadist personality taking control of her brain again.' Lance sweat-dropped. He quickly walked toward you and covered your mouth.
Gritting his teeth in rage, The silver-haired boy tilted his head, veins throbbing on his temple. He gave you a pissed wide-eyed glare. "Bitch I'll screw that mouth of yours. So you could never talk in your life." With that he tsked, walking away.
"Only if you've got the ball to do that--"
"Ignore him y/n." Lance murmured.
"He's one year older than us. And he's infamous for misconduct. He's injured multiple teachers and students he doesn't like, to the point of being held back a grade. But they consider his talent as a magic user, so they haven't expelled him yet. You hear stuff like that often from lang dorm-"
You removed his palm from your mouth and lifted your head to glare Lance. "Do I look like a person who gives a shit?"
Lance sighed, concern displaying in his eyes. "That's why I'm warning you. Your reckless attitude worries me most."
"I'm glad" Mash's relieved voice echoed. You and Lance turned your head to see him. He was holding a cream puffs. "I thought he crushed my cream puffs."
'That's why he made that face?' Lance mused, looking kinda shocked.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Okay let's begin our journey." You cheered, walking between them. Your eyes radiated in passion. 'I'm gonna show o/b/n how capable I'm.'
"And don't tuck food in there directly. It's unhygienic." Lance cautioned
Mash nodded. "kay."
"You're such an obedient boy Mash." You chuckled, side-glancing at him.
"I smell tremendous danger. Y/n stays close behind me. Leave it to me, the oldest son..." After hearing no response, Lance turned to look behind him. Only to be greeted by an empty space.
'I was so preoccupied with torturing that jerk that I lost them." You shook your head in defiance. "It wasn't me who got lost. It's them. Now time for treasure hunting."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
You wandered through the forest whilst humming a song.
" Minami no shima wa atakai~"
" Paina purupuru atama opakapaka aho baka....".
" Kita no Shima wa samui~"
" Hyakoi koikoi atama buruburu aho baka~".
"Damn it, I'm getting so bored." You kicked the pebble on the ground. "When I want danger to engulf me why do they keep their distance?"
Hearing rustling sounds, your eyes wandered and stopped at the Scorpio. Your eyes lit up in awe. You clapped your hands. "So one rock was enough to bring you to me. You're so cute, giving an uninvited guest such a warm welcome." You placed your hand on your chest with smile. "I'm so touched."
Scorpio crawled so fast and raised its poisonous tail to attack you. You leaped backwards to avoid it. "I totally understand your rage. Even I would be enraged if I had an uninvited visitor."
The Scorpio moved its poisonous tail forth, shooting poisons.
"And here I was trying to not hurt you. Rebellions phase I guess." You flicked your wand. "Quintus." The Scorpio glowed pitch black before dozing off.
"You're so lucky that I don't condone animal cruelty." You crouched down.
"I'm taking this." You yanked off the square silver stone from its head and got up. "I've found enough stone. Gotta find mash before that sick bastard encounters him."
You closed your eyes, chanting the spell."Visus." An image of Mash sitting on the tree with dot and a girl flashed into your mind.
You opened your eyes. "Found him. Seems like that sick bastard hasn't meet him yet." You flicked your. "Apparate." In an instant, you appeared in front of them.
Dot stopped banging his head against the ground. As soon as he saw your feet. 'So tender and fine.' He lifted his head. The sun was reflecting his warm ray on you, making you look more dazzling. His eyes widened at the sight of your beauty, completely mesmerizing him. He felt his cheeks getting hot. "F-Female lead!"
"It's y/n." You looked down at him and noticed his forehead was bleeding.
"If you're looking for a way to end your life. I suggest you should bury yourself alive. Banging your head to end your life. It must've been painful, right?"
' C-Could it be', Dot's felt his heart skip a bit. Pursing his lip. He cried inside, ' Is she worried about me? A perfect female lead who is drop-dead gorgeous, extremely kind-hearted, gentle, and optimistic! What a fine girl! '.
You noticed pink smoke was infecting Dot. Following the trail of smoke, your eyes landed on a light blue-haired girl. Who looked amused for some reason.
You sat down beside Mash and looked at him. "What are you doing here? Where is Lance?"
"I zoned out then I'm all alone." Mash muttered through stuffed mouth. "What about you? "
"I was hunting Scorpio and it was so thrilling." You cheerfully let out..
"Oh."
The girl next to Mash narrowed her eyes at you, judging you, 'A nobility huh? Though im more beautiful than her. Next is Mushroom head', she slides closer to Mash, "Thank you too, kind sir. You were a great help ".
"Oh, I didn't do anything." Mash dismissed with a stoic expression on his face.
The girl looked shocked, 'That's impossible. There's never been a man who hasn't fallen under my spell. More like any guy should be like 'hurray' if a cute girl like me was flirting with him ', she got pisseed off, ' I'll have to put more magic energy into it'.
She raised her charm then she held Mash's hand, looking at him with rosy cheeks, "That's not true. You really helped me out. You're very wonderful ". ' Sound, sight, touch. My charm reaches all the senses! No man can resist this! '
'I said I didn't do anything." Mash uttered bluntly.
Her mouth hangs open in disbelief,' it's not working at all? What is wrong with this guy? Does he seriously not find me attractive?! Die?!'.
"Oh." You smirked, getting up. 'When it comes to putting facade. No one can surpass me.' You sat down beside the girl. You rested your arm on her shoulder and leaned to whisper into her ear. "Is it fun to manipulate people like that?"
Her eyes widened in surprise. 'How did she?' She faked a smile. "What are you talking about?"
"Playing dumb when you're exposed it's not cute at all", you chuckled, " Other people may fall for your shitty trick but I can clearly see right through it. You're someone who put on a facade til you get what you're after. You act high and think you're the cutest person on the planet and no one can get near your level. You think you can seduce any boys you want. You're so bitchy~", you smirked, lowering your gaze to her abdomen, " I'm surprised to see a teenager who plays the role of succubus still have a flat stomach ".
She gripped her thighs tightly, nails almost digging into them in pure shock. 'Who the hell is this bitch?!'
You lifted her chin with your index finger, giving her a malicious glare.
"Just try to touch him with those filthy hands of yours again. I'll show you where you really belong miss succubus~"
She gulped, nodding her head. Her eyes moved at dot. 'At least I still have this moron.'
You close-lipped smile, quickly letting her go. "Yeah, that's it."
Her face took on a painful expression. Dot noticed and he decided to ask her. "Do you have some kind of circumstances? I'll lend you an ear."
"Actually." She whimpered. "A certain boy is threatening me."
You side-eyed her. 'Still trying huh?'
Dot raised a brow. "A certain boy?"
"A second year by the name of Silva. He's someone I don't hear many good things about. He's trying to take advantage of magic only I can use. He's been stalking me for all this time. I don't want to be involved in anything that's bad but he's forcing me to, like he did earlier." Tears poured down from her eyes, making her voice crack. "I don't know what I should do." She forced herself to smile and used her finger to wipe her fake tears. "I'm sorry to bring this up so suddenly "
You raised a brow, " So he forced himself on you? Even though you didn't want it".
Her cheeks dusted pink. "That's not it! You clearly didn't listen anything, right?!"
"It's all right."
Dot's expression became solemn.
"I'm gonna beat that guy up."
"Oh no." She exclaimed. "Please don't go out of your way."
"No. He's getting beaten to a pulp."Dot stated firmly, showing no intention of backing away.
'What a moron.' You narrowed your eyes at dot. 'Anyone can tell she's lying.'
"kind sir.."
"Oi!" Silva's voice boomed as bunches of iron emerged out from the ground.
You gripped Mash by the collar and leaped back whilst Dot picked the girl up in bridle style and jumped back.
"That sneaky bastard." You tsked, landing on the ground before letting Mash's collar go.
"Who gonna beat who to a pulp? Huh?" Silva sneered.
Dot protectively stretched out his arm in front of the girl. "So you're the guy..." He pointed his wand at him.
"I'll be the one who kill you."
Silva whistled before giving him an annoyed glare. "You look like the cringiest punk out there. Whenever I come across a deluded loser like you, I can't help but give them a dose of reality." He grinned sadistically. "And when I do, what kind of look will you have on your face?"
"Explomb!" Dot shot a fireball at Silva's face. Silva jumped back to avoid getting hit.
Tons of fireball formed behind dot. Dot raises his wand to gesture. "Machine gun Explomb!" At his gesture, fireballs rained on Silva.
"I'm not done yet! Oi! Oi! Oi!Explomb!" Dot created a tremendous fireball and threw it at him. It constructed a huge eruption. Smoke engulfed Silva, making you guys unable to see what happened to him.
"I hope he burns to crips." You hoped with a smirk.
"Die twice!" Dot snickered. "Heh! You weren't much of anything."
Smoke vanished, revealing the barrier
Of iron. "Your punny magic can't break through mine. Got it" Silva taunted, using his iron to hit Dot in the abdomen. Dot crouched down in pain. The impact was too hard which made Dot spit out blood from his mouth.
A pebble knocked Mash's cream puffs to the ground.
"Hey hey, what's wrong now? Where'd all that energy go?" Silva sneered. "You're gonna kill me, right. Why don't you try a bit harder? But it's no wonder because even a moron can tell the difference....once they've seen the difference in our skills!" He cracked up so hard. Dot gritted his teeth in irritation.
Mash realized his cream puff had fallen to the ground.
You impatiently tapped your finger on your crossed arm."Dot back off. It's my turn to slap this sick bastard?"
