Half a dozen magus swiftly surrounded Emery and Klea, orchestrating a strategic formation that turned the bustling pedestrian area into a makeshift arena. The focal point of this tense confrontation were the two young master Croft brothers.
"This is my brother, Vinser Croft. Unfortunately for you, he just returned from the frontline, a renowned captain of the military," declared the younger brother, emphasizing Vinser's military achievements.
The intimidating full moon magus fixed his gaze upon Emery and inquired, "This is the one that hurt you?" The nobleman, eager to garner sympathy, responded with a resentful tone, "Yes, brother. This spirit magus attacked me when I was not ready... and from behind. Avenge me, brother."
