Chapter 7: Duel
CH7 Duel
***
Zora was working in the Tower Master's office as usual when a middle-aged mage from the Enforcement Hall knocked and entered.
"Lady Zora, I bring urgent news. Master Alex Fury has challenged a peer to a Dragon Duel." He reported.
"What?!" Zora shot up from her chair. "Who did he challenge?"
"Marcus Hertarian, a Novice mage. He and his gang have been bullying Master Alex for over a week. It seems Alex finally had enough."
"A mere acolyte dares to harass an official disciple of the Tower Master? Why wasn't I informed of this sooner?" Zora's tone dropped the room's temperature.
Though the Enforcement mage was a peak Elite-ranked Mage—half a step from becoming a Great Mage—he instinctively shivered under her icy glare.
As expected of the Tower Master's daughter... he thought. A monster begets another monster.
"We reported the situation directly to the Tower Master," the mage replied calmly. "He instructed us to intervene only if there was a threat to life."
Zora's brow twitched.
