Chapter 2: First Impression.
The school year began in earnest and with it, James’ challenge to Asher was approved by the school board and a date was set for the duel.
"Are you sure you should go on with this? It doesn’t make any sense." Victor said as he and Asher walked together towards their next class.
"Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. It would do you well to know that I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"Alright then, I’ll take your word for it."
The entire classroom fell silent as Asher Blackwood walked in. The circumstances surrounding his upcoming duel with James Sorrel had circulated round the school.
"It seems they already know who you are." Victor stated.
"Seems so." Asher replied.
The both of them walked to two empty seats and sat together. The other students were clearly avoiding them, especially those from humble backgrounds.
The chatter in the classroom continued and then a loud boom was heard within the class, smoke appeared and then everything cleared with a huge gust of wind.
"Settle down children, time for class to begin." A calm but deep voice said from within the dust that the wind had brought up.
The dust cleared revealing a man who looked like he would be in his 30’s standing in front of them dressed in exquisite attire.
