Chapter 72: Fate is...

"The… instructor is sparring with the Lowborn?"

"Pft, finally. I was getting uncomfortable with the guy. Just standing there with his military uniform like he's actually doing something."

"They should just ban Lowborns from attending the Academy altogether. Why are they even wasting resources with these people?"

"Stop it, they're people too. I don't understand why you would treat people like that!"

"You hear them, Trainee? No matter what you wear, you will always just be treated as a Lowborn."

"I hear them all the time, Sir."

"Hm…"

The whispers of the students started to fill the training hall. Those who were previously sparring with their fellow trainees and those who were fighting with the skeletal machines all paused their training as soon as they saw their instructor and Rhys on one of the sparring mats.
