Instructor Neal fumed in anger inwardly, seeing that Damien dared to talk back at him. Not even the disciples from the Gold batch would behave brazenly with him. Although he was an instructor who taught Bronze Batch disciples, it doesn't mean that one wouldn't dare to give him face.
He inwardly knew Cedric was the one who was in the wrong, and what Damien said was justified. But circumstances were not in his favor, and he felt tongue-tied as Damien forced him to a corner.
If he let Damien leave then, that would also mean the Xeton Ethereal Foundation would lose two extremely genius practitioners as Valentina also would follow suit.
The other proctors didn't butt in as they also didn't want to get involved in a messy situation and already got orders to stay put.
