A hard staredown occurred between Everlearn and Sir Lycanthrope as crushing pressure descended upon the room.
Everlearn had zero idea why this was happening at all.
Was the academy blaming him for the deaths of the others on the mission?
Or expecting him to be upset that two strangers he barely knew died on a mission he was part of?
Students died every day in the academy, whether due to challenges, vengeful fights, or even bullying.
Some students don't even survive the torment of protecting the points they clawed their way to earn from the grasp of thieves.
And it was X Guard itself that had allowed all of these to happen, probably to instill that indifference towards death into their students.
Why else would they turn a blind eye to most of the students' complaints and the endless footage of violence posted on the Xnet?
And now they wanted to hold him accountable?
