Alice lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. "I've been secretly gathering information about the academy, trying to find a weakness we could exploit to fight against you. But I discovered..."
"What did you discover?" Dean Bruce pressed, his tone curious.
Alice paused, thinking carefully before continuing. "I discovered that you..."
"Dean, there's something happening!"
Before Alice could finish her sentence, they heard Prolo Hawthorne's voice from not far away.
Alice and Dean Bruce instinctively turned toward the sound of Prolo's voice.
"The principal wants to see you in his office," Prolo said as he approached. "He said there's something important he needs to discuss with you."
"Alright, I'll go now." Dean Bruce nodded, then turned to Alice. "We'll talk about this later."
With that, he turned and walked away.
Alice stood frozen, her face a mixture of confusion and hesitation.
