Another day passed, and the chaos that had engulfed the academy had finally begun to settle. The official announcement declared that Trux was now completely out of danger and was expected to return in a couple of weeks. Physically, his wounds would heal sooner, but it was his mind that needed time. The trauma of the attack had left a scar, one that would take longer to mend than broken bones or shattered teeth.
It was the last class before the weekend holiday, and once again, it was Angelica who had been assigned to teach.
"Good evening, everyone," she greeted, her eyes sweeping across the students spread out through the hall. "A lot has happened since our last class together."
"Normally, I would have continued with our topic- human beast synergy," she said, pausing for effect. "But today, let us try something different."
A subtle smile tugged at her lips.
"How about a little sparring session?" Her tone was light and suggestive, but there was no doubt that the decision had already been made.
"And if any of you manage to impress me," she added with a glint in her eye, "there might be a little reward waiting at the end."
"And do not be afraid," she said. "I would not be using any mana or my beast companion."
"Now," she clapped her hands, "who wants to go first?"
A flurry of hands shot up into the air.
