Celeste watched with her violet orbs how her students were fighting. There was so much progress, she felt proud of herself.

Her eyes narrowed to the side where Alistair was going on with his own business. He was focused. Ah! That was for the best!

She breathed in calmly. Yeah, it was the satisfaction of any teacher.

"Cassius!" Celeste's eyes popped wide open when she heard the silver-haired man's name being called. It didn't sound like a gentle call, but a yell.

She observed one of her students who had fallen on his butt. He breathed rashly and was glaring at Cassius who returned an expressionless face.

Cassius pointed his sword at the guy's neck, where he had slashed a part of the person's neck. But it wasn't deep enough to kill him.

Zion chuckled as he neared Cassius. "Easy man. This isn't a competition, you could've killed him"

He patted Cassius's shoulder but the man was quick to shrug his hands away.
