Argue

Moments after the intense duel between Emery and Lucius came to an abrupt halt, another presence entered the hall—Grand Magus Aurora, the gracious-looking deputy headmaster. Her arrival was impeccably timed, her aura of calm authority cutting through the tension that had enveloped the arena.

"Both of you, let's talk," Aurora said, her voice commanding yet soothing. She addressed both Emery and Lucius, but her gaze also fell upon Shinta, who had stepped in to defuse the situation. With a nod, she beckoned them to follow her.

The four of them entered one of the academy's private chambers. The atmosphere was still heavy with the echoes of their recent conflict, but within these walls, a more measured conversation would take place.
