Chapter 11: Duel

Ivory nodded and turned to Fredric. "As our Path instructor, I hope you can supervise the duel to enforce the rules."
Fredric gave a firm nod.
"Of course, I will do my best to ensure that nothing goes wrong and punish whoever falls to keep the end of their agreement."
He turned to me and asked, "Is that okay with you, Ezekiel?"
Fredric’s stern voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I nodded, "Yes, but I would appreciate it if there were one more instructor around."
I observed they all frowned subtly.
"What do you mean by that, Ezekiel? Are you trying to say that I will be partial in my decisions against my own students," Fredric said, his tone cold and sharp.
Yes, I was. But I didn’t say it out loud.
I shook my head.
