"Would you mind giving me your seat?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6z8d8k286
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpjtlUTfMR
The girl Hestia had addressed went pale. Her hands scrambled to gather her belongings - quill, parchment, the small bag she'd brought - all of it swept up in graceless haste.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO3BbdI4nT
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0gBVns3hr
"Of course, my lady. My apologies—I didn't mean—"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaVgCGpMFI
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihmyDNhDqH
She fled up the stairs toward the higher rows, nearly tripping in her haste. The boy who'd been sitting beside her followed without being asked, abandoning the bench entirely.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe19YzZ0tS3
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAeJsjNYBd
Hestia settled into the vacated seat without acknowledgment. As if it belonged to her from the beginning.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJrejfPYTf
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFHPzfbVlg
Cel glanced back over his shoulder.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu74j67Thp
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpD01yPvgS
She sat with perfect posture, hands folded in her lap, crimson eyes fixed straight ahead at nothing in particular.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFsCHhQi8
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ypla4NawF
He turned back around.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiLXBdlO1B
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlGXmjcc0k
Instructor Saren had gone rigid at the podium, her jaw tight. For a moment, she seemed to struggle with whether to address what had just happened.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLaWQumHZO
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jckKxymW
Then she cleared her throat and consulted her scroll again.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1SDdRnxas
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgILjPyy17z
"Lady Cordelia Tidecall of House Tidecall, Ocean Clan. Chosen of the Ocean Goddess and Heir to House Tidecall."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5o0O5JTZ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLP1prvVde
The name settled in Cel's chest with familiar weight.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKkqEnCdlr
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwF4eKJa5
Tidecall. His mother's birth house. The leading family of the Ocean Clan.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuINTb8RkGP
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwt7785X5l
His cousin.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBUnVpEvwM
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkbItytxF3
The door opened.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN5y6mAKPf
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwY0TCMG1T
A girl entered with the kind of grace that came from a lifetime of formal training. Light blue hair fell in waves past her shoulders, and her gray-blue eyes swept the room with calm assessment. The Ocean Goddess's mark adorned her uniform: three rising blades flanked by wave-like curves.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktFi8WR6mS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdopvbuAGC
She moved to the podium, offered a brief bow that managed to be both respectful and composed, then descended to claim her seat in the front row.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhJX5Iun1
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLzFLFtF6l
Cel watched her settle into position, his expression carefully neutral.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN44Ei5d3Rx
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlPRUIefiG
Even though they were related, he'd never met Cordelia. His father had kept him isolated from most gatherings. Why parade a disappointment when you had a prodigy like Darian to show off?106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUchvoDTjQ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeeWynzvsC
Still. She was family. Someone who might connect dots if he revealed too much.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTep5JUfQH
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE8ReDDeQx
‘I'll need to avoid her.’106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbENHCq4vOn
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uPCToCZVW
"Lord Percival Tempest of House Tempest, Storm Clan. Chosen of the Storm Goddess and Heir to House Tempest."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5219ZTs67
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtuw370YqB
Another heir. House Tempest had claimed leadership after two rival houses destroyed each other in a brutal conflict for control. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngyZx26sy2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSXSVSGqNk
The boy who entered carried himself with the particular wariness of someone who'd learned early that power was never secure. Silver-white hair. Emerald eyes that scanned the room like he was calculating threats.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxMpD2aIe1
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbAGfAwu6u
Percival descended to his seat without ceremony.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6oPqAO9l
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzSiEJ2DV
The introductions continued. More nobles. More uniforms that cost more than most commoners earned in a year. Some carried themselves with arrogance. Others with carefully neutral politeness. All of them claimed the front three rows without question.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rRguG3ZQJ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hNH8n595
"Kyros Solgrand of House Solgrand, Sun Clan. Chosen of the Sun God."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8i8q3pJHS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7emNOdg1OR
Cel's hands curled into fists beneath the desk, knuckles going white.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoq24OveZN
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOjO68pYj2
Solgrand. The house carried weight within the Sun Clan, and Kyros had never hesitated to throw it around.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMH4zCohXV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHogj6UwTD
The memory surfaced sharp and clear - being shoved into the ground while Kyros laughed. "Careful, Celvian. Wouldn't want you to embarrass House Solmar more than you already do."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Aq3iSWajq
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEmTjxjuII
Every petty cruelty had been delivered with that same casual amusement. As if tormenting the untalented son of a Noble House was just another form of entertainment.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItreeou0xP
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAvUzkwNQe
Cel's jaw clenched so hard his teeth ached.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNKYhp1ULc
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSOIraty02
The boy who entered looked exactly as Cel remembered. Fire-red hair. Amber eyes that held casual cruelty. The Sun God's mark blazed across his uniform - a radiant sun with pointed rays.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdvsd4j9E
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwju3lk93wu
Everything in Cel screamed to move. To stand. To cross the room and drive his fist through that smug face until the bones shattered.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFFq6F9y5
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMCYaGSClr
But he stayed frozen in his seat, breath coming careful and controlled.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rWsBd0TVY
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZwELk23v
Kyros's gaze swept the tiered rows as he walked to the podium. For just a moment, it passed over Cel without recognition.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl0X298yan
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTpqNGiuwk
The urge to violence drained away, replaced by something colder. Sharper.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr0sulFnet
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVIs9Xz7i
‘You don't know me anymore.’106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FK6yO1zty
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRksiS0EFVt
The thought carried savage satisfaction.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hJKmjR81U
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMkBQQvYL8
‘You never will. Not until it's too late.’106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIfNOtGexb
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHei25PaT6
Then Kyros claimed his seat, and Instructor Saren closed her scroll.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSQ4KN8MGk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIaFVbSI62
"All of you now represent this Academy together. I expect cooperation. Respect. And adherence to the standards we've established."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0ZEqdJx1
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa4MwEnJBq
Her tone suggested she expected none of those things.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIMehwzWwM
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvIDQbbVlR
"Today's lesson focuses on proper introduction etiquette. You've all studied this - commoners in your evening classes, nobles through your private tutors. Now you'll practice."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcu4pqgl3U
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakejJN0Wnb
She gestured broadly at the assembled students.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIrDnjQwlO
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4HoUZQ3d
"Form pairs. One will play the role of a noble, the other a commoner."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3VMBAWow
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7oT0nuhG
Movement erupted immediately - students rising, searching for partners. The nobles remained seated, waiting to be approached.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05qLZajbwS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF38vMoPopJ
Lior turned to Cel. "Should we—"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeXKN4RoeO
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpk3VbWmx
A shadow fell across their desk.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XGLjxtMD
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiXcK2LA5D
Hestia stood in the aisle beside them, crimson eyes fixed on Cel.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QvzVgkLcO
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCwwzNQKsP
"Shall we pair together?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGUooo28E
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFvPw1MIPf
The request landed with the weight of a command dressed in courtesy. Every nearby student went still, conversations dying mid-word.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBiQrtveQF
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshUqKs3Mbd
Cel's mind raced.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wxlUI0Elk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqutUpBLIm
A commoner had no right to refuse a noble's request. Not with so many eyes watching. Doing so would be an insult - grounds for punishment, possibly expulsion.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemPNd6DgdE
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuX0CBc66g
And she knew that.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD9nzD82eu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYnBeDUc06
"It would be a pleasure, lady Hestia."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡretUkMZ4v1
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhHST1OxF
The words tasted like ash, but he stood and gestured for her to lead.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyypQjOY0
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPNJeY8JgU
Lior watched them go with wide eyes, uncertain what to do.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAspUq6z8P
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XHAeD0TcD
Hestia moved to an empty corner of the classroom, away from the clusters of practicing students. Cel followed, acutely aware of the attention tracking them.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbdjFxhdKV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfNaooUice
When they stopped, she turned to face him fully.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5POGgcrKmV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SwTce1PsB
"I'll play the commoner first," she said. "You'll be the noble."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKbO69ETu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3GbiTAEQ
Cel blinked. That was... backwards. Nobles practiced being nobles, commoners practiced deference. Reversing it served no obvious purpose.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGCRax62Gl
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuUPs0pWZE
But he nodded. "Understood."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CxH1R66kv
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9vllf6JrZ
They positioned themselves - standing at the proper distance, postures straight.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP2JhwAIVC
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf3dKhgaZj
Hestia's expression shifted subtly. The perfect composure cracked just enough to show uncertainty. Nervousness. Her shoulders drew inward slightly, her gaze lowered.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe41I4rD4x
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKfU3kO9J5
A perfect imitation of a commoner meeting nobility.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UXCETuEuA
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WN6jxgxK
She bowed - deeper than necessary, holding the position a beat too long.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJe6r6qXfE
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCCXeZxpM3
"My lord," she said, her voice carrying just the right tremor of anxiety. "It is an honor to meet you. I am Hestia, a humble servant of the Death God."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcE5QSPGiG
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfue3g13HsT
The performance was flawless. Too flawless.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6jeq1dRk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJkATlVbwE
Cel played along, falling back on old training.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9pYEyh6rs
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhwkbjNVmO
"Rise. Your devotion is noted."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0VmSzFyw
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnXJp74kmU
She straightened, maintaining that false uncertainty with perfect discipline.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISlowcARO
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sgiq7FYlk
They went through the full ritual - questions about lineage, polite acknowledgment, the careful dance of social hierarchy. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwtL1ZF5d
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMXDsyFRpP
"We'll reverse positions," she said when they finished.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4w34w92Qc
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE9mvwoJ9J
Now Cel bowed - commoner to noble. The motions came automatically, drilled into him during the etiquette classes.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l8mWn9VMb
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYZXF1BV3Y
"My lady," he said. "It is an honor. I am Celvian, a humble servant of the Moon Goddess."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs5L5RNS1z
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOGROGPOcS
Hestia's crimson eyes studied him throughout the introduction. Not his words or his posture - she watched his eyes. As if searching for something beneath the surface.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJAhDJpnmw
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRAoQG1wtA
"You may rise."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TDjZ6TQip
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOfVsQQI7a
He straightened.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41D9V7jU1v
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zZDIX3J76
"Your goddess is... uncommon." Her tone carried no judgment. Just observation. "Do you find difficulty in that?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhT5BZhQGu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZIABAx7BP
"The Moon Goddess chose me," Cel said carefully. "I serve her will."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8xSmrMWA
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvKDdHResg
"A diplomatic answer." Something that might have been approval flickered across her features. "Tell me, Celvian - are you devoted to her?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HBidWyhkj
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNKQuTNrY
The question landed with unexpected weight.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCU46NnJh
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5sUfTEE5R
"Yes, my lady," Cel said. "Completely."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUZRQdF67
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUATdnEzEP
It wasn't a lie. The Moon Goddess had given him everything when he had nothing. A second chance. Power. Purpose.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIkhdgS3Dh
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCltyIrFPY
"I see." Hestia's crimson eyes held his for a long moment, as if measuring the truth of his words.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkHpBvkPb
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhuSaqJuoQ
Silence stretched between them. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DpwwhZXnU
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J4FbTSGei
"You may return to your seat," Hestia said finally.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58VsiUOuAf
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSQSwFtQiM
Cel bowed once more and turned away.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklpdqva8sE
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroEbR4IO5r
As he climbed back to where Lior waited, he felt those crimson eyes tracking his movement. Watching. Assessing.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJRCcfgxQZ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5evtyTHnMm
What did she want?106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmzxgEDoYY
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZu0fVs1u
He didn't have an answer by the time afternoon training began. The sun beat down on the training grounds as students assembled in loose formation. Instructor Calder stood at the center, arms crossed, his scarred face unreadable.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHNv86PTZI
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iJFrTOA90
Cel had barely settled into position when the instructor's gaze found him.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPlWZNKabw
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVun0m2WOlo
"Celvian."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AS4UBfcs2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf1ztaTPbC
The name carried across the yard like a blade. Every head turned.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfRYBujeKZ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdnDhgAcC
"You missed morning conditioning."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJBiLq9nq
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa83nhrgBY
"Yes, Instructor." No excuse. No explanation.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnjwZS98Ma
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGa6znp9fb
Calder's jaw tightened. "We'll address that in a moment. But first—I have an announcement."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0oUTa6nib
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNkCpcVxzW
He gestured broadly at the assembled students.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DuKsDAyA
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JR7zAqAB9
"Starting today, we're implementing a ranking system for combat training. Any student may challenge another to a sparring match. Winners climb the ladder. Losers fall."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv9SciTPjk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1H6LmUQZU
Murmurs rippled through the group. Noble students straightened, interest sparking in their eyes.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxOEKZM5T
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDsqhuGWxR
"Your final rank affects recruitment opportunities after graduation," Calder continued. "The Chosen Legion scouts these rankings. So do the Mercenary Guild and even the Great Clans. A high rank opens doors. A low rank..." He let the implication hang.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ImdV73TH9
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhNK6SGeJU
Cel's thoughts churned.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yA1II2w6k
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EDndRf1vt
After graduation. Where would he go?106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEMFd2blUB
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS520njMCKq
The Chosen Legion was the obvious choice. His mother served there now - which made it perfect. She'd be within reach when the time came.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0afRqsD7qK
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV6TNIdU6d
Or the Sun Clan. Return to the place that had cast him out. Find Darian. Find his father. Make them pay.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBsrS20ZE0
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymHXUBPp98
The thought burned cold and sharp.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6YqyqnFwX
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehr3wkJhL9
But walking back into Sun Clan territory carried risks. His white hair and resurrected body had transformed him beyond recognition. Still, someone might eventually form the connection.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuV412PBMT
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqmbPnACB3
Unless he went elsewhere first. Built strength in another clan. Disappear into obscurity while he grew strong enough to return and destroy them all properly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTx514FaQT
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14aN6byaXw
"Celvian."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dNalRYVx8
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUYZ96eIMw
Calder's voice snapped him back to attention.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGau0jgUQt
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XPB2xf87I
Heat crawled up his neck as every eye fixed on him. He'd been caught not paying attention. Again.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLKR56NZVH
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx2KT3fF2a
"Since you missed this morning's session and seem determined to waste my time this afternoon as well," Calder's tone could have frozen water, "you'll demonstrate our new system. First match. Right now."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQIpIllxo6
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdAsdCx9ZO
The words landed like stones. Around him, students shifted - commoners looking nervous, nobles carefully neutral.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCR1nlbUax
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFxO8IGvr4
Cel's jaw tightened, but he stepped forward.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3aEwqoLS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdOXIR5Yn
"Who wants to face him?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCKtxApvFm
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZCn3twnJ
Silence answered.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Z1mOk4ub
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T8HGFU3rb
The commoner students avoided eye contact, clearly unwilling to risk injury against someone who'd demonstrated unusual strength during training. The nobles simply looked bored, as if fighting a commoner wasn't worth their time.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETgRyB4rWC
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZUlgHd2I
Seconds stretched.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YIzKCXxcf
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEBfQ0joZC
Then movement from the noble group.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMXwucktsg
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ea7zFsNW
A hand rose.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgcmTAC255
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bg1ZdkgwS
Owen Peakscale stepped forward, that same grin splitting his face.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvMMLG1jWT
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNeijq5De7
