Raph stared at Lecturer Heartfillia, the intensity within his eye flickering as he arranged his thoughts in order.
'She's not going to do it'. He thought, glancing at the princess, who was standing beside him.
'And she knows it….but it would be a shame to let this matter slide just like this…'.
A bet was usually a wager placed between people who have a concept that they are of equal standing. Those who think they are above the standing of the other usually fail to keep the end of their wager, and this ultimately leads to more chaos.
It was obvious from their interaction that Lecturers thought themselves higher in the Academy, and Princess Meadow, an authority, would most likely be ignored.
'So what do we do in situations like that?'
Of course, you fight standing with standing; if the Lecturer refuses to keep to their end of the bet, then there would be a need for someone of a higher standing in the Academy.
