“Does everyone have a glass?” George asked as he looked at his Manor Mates with a smile. "If you don't have one, grab one now!"

“Yes!” Noah and the rest replied.

“I’ll make this short.” George raised his cup with a big smile on his face. “I offer this toast to our newest member! May Dud Manor prosper this year as well. Cheers!”

The Duds enrolled at Brynhildr Academy weren't exempted from this rule. If Henry hadn’t been a part of Dud Manor and didn’t hold the title The Mage Slayer, the other Duds would have faced more harsh criticisms.
