Duel ( 1 )

"W-what?" Professor Stella was shocked as she didn't expect that Maya would be so against the duel that she'd rather injure herself.

As she was about to scold her student, she heard Zara's voice inside her head.

'Stella, how's her condition?' Zara asked worriedly.

'Not good… Her life strands went down for sure.' Stella answered as she started inspecting Maya's body.

'I see... Don't worry too much. She's from the Featherstar Family. They have a way of increasing life strands a lot faster than others as long as they haven't reached their twenties yet. Maya must be aware of this, so she's not too worried.' Zara explained.

'That's good to hear.' Stella heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She then carried Maya to bring her to the infirmary and let her get some rest.

Maya's friends hurriedly went over as well, but after Stella assured them that Maya was safe, they could only return and wait for the final part of the Examination.
