"Forget it. It already happened anyways. *sigh*" Lawrend sighed.
Elena slumped down her shoulders in sadness.
"So, will they just leave?" Lawrend asked and glanced at the audience around them.
"What do you want them to do?" Verkoli asked.
"Nothing. I'm just surprised that so many people wanted to watch our little duel," Lawrend replied.

"I see. Well then, do we have to return to the academy?" Lawrend asked.
"The two of you need to, but the other students don't have to. I'll hold a meeting," Verkoli replied.
"Should I tell them, Sir Purple Thunder?" Galak asked.
"Inform them that all the students are dismissed for today, and summon the instructors to the grounds of the campus," Verkoli replied.
