Even Noah could not help but smile bitterly when he saw Ace like this. He called out to Nock, "Enough, stop bullying him. He really is quite pitiful, and he's seriously ill too. Apologize to him! What you did last time really was too much."
Nock looked at Ace, who was rambling like he had lost his mind, and said, "Sorry. I kicked too hard last time and hurt you." Seeing the look in Nock's eyes as though he were caring for a mentally disabled child, Ace immediately shouted, "I'm not mentally ill! I just really admire the Flame Emperor!

He walked straight to Ace's desk and placed it on top. Then he added, "Don't look at me like that. This is all I have left. Even if you want more, I don't have any. I shouldn't have kicked you last time."
Seeing Nock's earnest expression, Ace also became serious. "An apology is enough. I don't need the money. And you're not allowed to call me pockface anymore. Those are freckles on my face."
Nock looked at Ace and seriously said, "I know your name is Ace. I won't call you Ai Mazi anymore." When Ace heard that, his face filled with fury. He shouted, "Didn't you say you wouldn't call me pockface anymore? Why are you doing it again?"
Hearing this, Nock quickly said, "That was just a promise. I promised that I wouldn't call you Ai Mazi
