*Boom* Noctis fell over after being hit by someone suddenly. When he turned around to see who it was, he saw a large man who claimed to be the strongest in the village of Notting. He was taller than Noctis, who was actually already quite tall, and extremely muscular. He had short brown hair and face wasn’t bad. However it paled in comparison to the unique silver hair and blue eyes that Noctis sported.

His name was Caesarius and he made trouble for Noctis whenever he bothered to show up in the village, and that was because he fancied Lux, who was always with Noctis. This has been happening for the past couple months, he’d normally get tripped or pushed around. He did his best to ignore it, but today was different. Not only had he just gotten this set of clothes today, but Lux had also gotten hers, and fell down with Noctis at the same time.

They had just gotten their new attire, for Noctis it was a black coat with one sleeve on his left arm that extended down past his wrist, along with a white glove. His right arm was bare, showing off his toned arm. He was wearing a pair of dark pants to match with his coat. It didn’t matter if any of it got dirty because it was unlikely to show up anyway. Lux on the other hand, wore almost all white clothing. She got new clothes without fear of being discovered, since none of the villages residents have ever ventured to the capital.

She wore a white shirt embroidered with a blue pattern, and a skirt to match. Luckily, it hadn’t rained in a few days so the ground was dry and when she fell there was no marks left on her clothing. Even if there was, she could just use her magic later to remove the impurities from the clothing when they returned home.

Noctis was annoyed though. The non-stop harassment was now affecting her. Now that it was like that, he had no interest in letting it go. “Noct, don’t kill him please.” Lux didn't want him to get in trouble for killing him. It wouldn't be terrible, but she liked the village and wasn't in a hurry to leave.

“Got it.” As soon as he responded, he turned around and slammed his right hand into Caesarius’ liver, stunning him. As he bent over in pain Noctis raised his knee to meet up with his chin and knocked him out cold along with a few teeth. “Tch. No fun.” He turned around and helped Lux up before returning home. Nobody dared breathe until Noctis was out of sight. He was terrifying, that’s all there was to it. The village’s strongest man was taken out within a second.
