"You reckless idiot… mana-brained barbarian… walking catastrophe… battle-crazed menace…!"
Austin stood there patiently, listening as if receiving valuable feedback from a supervisor. When she finally paused to catch her breath, he tilted his head slightly.
"Are you done, or is there a second round?"
The vein on Aesa's forehead pulsed violently.
"You are banned from sparring for a week."
Austin froze in horror.
"…That's cruel."
"You are banned from touching weapons."
"That's tyranny."
"You are banned from provoking other cadets."
Austin looked genuinely shocked.
"How am I supposed to live?"
From one of the beds a weak voice muttered, "Peacefully."
Austin immediately pointed at the injured cadet without even looking. "Traitor."
The entire infirmary burst into laughter despite the pain many of them were in. Even Elderic, lying on his bed while a healer treated his shoulder, couldn't stop a small chuckle from escaping.
