Chapter 20: Class Division Exam [12]
In the chilly evening, with both the moons out and shining, a boy lay on the cold cobblestones of the narrow alley, in the imperial capital, just a few distance away from the Imperial Knights’ Academy.
His uniform was torn apart with visible wounds, blood coming out of them, drenching his body completely.
Near him lay another girl of the same situation, except her situation was not that much worse as compared to the boy, and the major deep wound on her shoulder was already wrapped up by a piece of cloth, which had stopped the bleeding.
"Well, this is pretty serious...", said a girl standing near them.
More precisely, she was the student council president of the prestigious academy, Alicia Rowan.
Apart from her, there stood four other students, seemingly first year students.
One of the students, a boy with an overly confident stance and a bit too much curiosity, glanced between the unconscious pair and muttered, "Looks like Dorian Valen’s handiwork to me..."
Another girl chimed in, arms folded. "Given his reputation, I wouldn’t be surprised."
"Two students fighting among each other outside the academy isn’t unheard of,.... but on the first day of your first year itself?", Alicia said while observing the surroundings.
Then she looked at the group of first years, and spoke up.
"Aren’t you guys a bit too bold?", she asked sarcastically, while assessing the situation.
