The Sword of Justice

Chapter 9- A Bold Stand

In the early morning hours, as the day of the visit from Sir Glenn Vitiate University approached, Liam and Jaime convened to fine-tune their plans for sabotaging Noah's scheme. Jaime couldn't help but ask, "When is Zargel going to arrive, Liam?"

Liam, with a hint of impatience, replied, "Jaime, I've explained this numerous times. Zargel is coming as a guest instructor to teach swordsmanship. He intends to change the discriminatory culture from the ground up, and this university is his starting point. He'll be here every day for our final year."

The momentous day arrived, and the students from Sir Glenn Vitiate University began to pour into the Sir Pagan Skylar IV University of Swords and Alchemy. The atmosphere grew tense among the crowd, filled with noble students from the highest ranks. It was here that the clash of ideals and the brewing revolution would take place.

Amid the gathering, Liam and Jaime noticed a shocking duo – Claire and Noah – sporting wicked smirks, as if their nefarious plans were already in motion. Their faces painted the picture of mischievous intent.

Liam followed Claire's gaze and discovered a precarious setup: a bucket filled with green paint, suspended by a rope, with a student poised to release it upon a signal. The trajectory was aimed at drenching anyone standing near the entrance, an act intended to humiliate the commoner class visitors.

Just as the tension reached its peak, a sudden loud bang echoed from the direction of the student holding the bucket. The onlookers turned in surprise to witness a woman with striking pink hair, standing defiantly at the scene. Claire's face drained of color as she realized her scheming had been foiled.

This woman with pink hair, now identified as Layla Vitiate, took charge of the moment. With an air of authority, she introduced herself and delivered a stern warning to the crowd, her voice echoing through the hallowed halls of the university.

Liam and Jaime, observing the events unfold, couldn't help but be captivated by Layla's bold stance. Her actions and words carried the weight of a shifting tide, and it became evident that a revolution was brewing, with the formidable Layla at the forefront.
