"Uh… as per request of freshman Princess Stacia, her duel today shall reflect the evaluation of her class placement result," the professor announced, his voice wavering slightly as he glanced nervously between me, Stacia, and the judges.

But even as his eyes darted around, it's not like he would find any answers…
Stacia was already in control, bending the situation to her whims.
