Dane picked up two wooden swords and tossed one of them to Laxel. The annoying redhead who has no clue when to keep his mouth shut caught the flying sword with one hand.
This was Dane's chance to take out his frustrations on at least one nuisance. He may be unable to do anything about the Headmaster but he could at least do something about Laxel.
Not only was Laxel annoying and crude, as if he lacked all basic manners, but he even unwittingly helped people with their pursuit of Dane.
Dane was first and foremost a knight, then a student. He had no need nor want when it comes to romantic interests so it was bothersome that the idiot didn't seem to understand that.
Marching over to an empty spot, Dane readied his stance. Laxel, who wasn't a complete blockhead, had figured out that Dane wanted him as a sparring partner and got into position across from Dane.
