"You scoundrel! How dare you be so vicious? This was just a minor argument, and yet you tried to take my son's life?"

Seeing that a full-blown fight was about to erupt, Dean Bruce decided it was time to intervene. He calmly stepped forward and said, "Nicholas, stop the spell."
"They're all friends here; there's no need for this to escalate."
The moment he spoke, all eyes turned toward Dean Bruce, curiosity brimming in everyone's gaze.
