Eric's POV:
My mind refocuses and I find myself back in the last arena with everyone looking at me. There was no applause at my return, and it gave me flashbacks to my graduation, so I was already used to this feeling. Plus, I wasn't concerned for their anger towards me, I had a goal to obtain the first rank, whatever it took.
To add salt to the obvious raging fire, I do a little bow, holding back my smile. Apparently, that was the dealbreaker there. I straighten back up as I can feel multiple people approaching. Falkner reaches me first.
"Eric. How can you use such forbidden powers so blatantly? You will get what's coming to you." He says.
He had a point. It's not like I didn't know that these spells were on a taboo class, but so far, no one has said anything. Plus, with my new Shadeweaver title, all I had to do was create ten spells and I wouldn't need to pay the soul penalty.
