It was in class that Illya found himself facing a different kind of trouble. He made the mistake of correcting the teacher by pointing out an error in a mathematical equation on the board.



He was called to the front of the class and disciplined, being made to remove his shirt as he was beaten with a wide leather strap.  

Then he was praised for taking his punishment in silence and sent to the infirmary, where the inebriated doctor applied salve to his bloody back, warning him about keeping his smart mouth shut.

Illya resolved not to. Truth was truth.

"keeping his smart mouth shut." This, he will always have trouble with...
Can see the skinny little boy with the blue eyes of a grown up man...

Yep, that's what happens in these Illya series stories, I offer reasons for his personality traits...having the last word has become one of them. Poor Illya had to be grown up before his time.

Thanks!

I'm loving this story. Please continue. I can really imagine Illya as this skinny little guy.
