"I can't say that I'm not a little bit jealous," Markus said as he walked alongside Shuri to the Sect Leader's office. "But my pride seems to overshadow that. I guess this is how it feels when a student surpasses the teacher?"
Shuri snorted mockingly and said, "That's just you, Senior Brother Reva."
Then after a pause, she added, "Maybe others in this Sect as well. You won't find such benevolence in educators outside the Sect. I've seen Teacher's sabotaging their Students for petty reasons."
"That's just... disgusting!" Markus responded with a displeased look. "How can an educator betray the trust of their student like that?"
