Chapter 14 - Ch.14 Debate

At University of Torminas.

In Principal Office.

"Is it true"

The voice came from elderly man, whose appearance indicate royalty.

The man with white beard with white mustache and white hair spoke, sat down at the far end behind the massive desk of dark oak. His fingers rested calmly atop a scroll, but his gaze was anything but calm.

He was in the principal office.

The principal's office of the Torminas University stood like a chamber of authority carved from time itself. Towering stone walls, etched with faded ruins of knowledge of power, enclosed the room. A tall arched window allowed a pale beam of sunlight to cut through the dimness, illuminating the centre of the room like a stage.

Before him stood five figures.

Four of them were Warden of Wisdom or to be specific Arcanists who were like teachers in the university.

One, a stern man in embroidered robes, named Aren Valtis. Another, a woman with silver-threaded hair, stood with arms folded, her expression cold and analytical, name as Lisa aka cold queen. The third one, a broad shoulder warrior scholar, name as Oryn Althorn. The fourth, a quiet elder with narrow eyes, seemed more observer than participant, his hand's tucked into his sleeves, name as Draves Syphon

And then there was fifth one.

Royal guard.

The boy with a blessing authority of Eternal Graze.

He stood closet to the principal desk, slightly ahead of others.

"Yes, it is true", He spoke up.

The air in the room was tense and was filling with silence. The Arcanists in the room exchanged their glances as saying to speak up but no one dare to interrupt.

The principal finally leaned forward slightly.

"So, what do you want us to do with that boy", principal said.

"It is up to your university, but I will ask you to save him", The boy said 

"Do you want us to save the curse child. The one who killed the highest rank knightwarrior and the best student of our University of Torminas."

Silence spread~

"But it is not his fault...", The boy said while cracking.

"You also know the circumstances of breaking law and order, don't you..", The principle said cutting boy words.

"You shouldn't have told us, his sins you know."

"But...."

"What should I do", Principle said touching his forehead with his right hand.

"I want to hear your opinions, Grand Arcanists", principle said looking at four figures at front of him.

"I will not gonna comment on this", Lisa spoke up

Her sudden statement caught everyone attention, but they were used to it, so they just ignore her. 

"We should execute that child immediately", The stern man, Aren said 

"You heard him right. He killed Archeon Valtheiron. He could be more dangerous than we think you know.", He sound desperate as Kira triggered his childhood trauma. 

"He is just a child, sir. You cannot say it is his fault. He may in the state of possession at that time. ", Warrior scholar Oryn spoke up. 

Quarrel spread and the room which was quiet before was now filled with two voices debating over a child life, whether he should be alive or not.

The two Arcanists Draves and Lisa were listening more than observing

After few minutes quarrel was over.

"So, It should be decided in trials huh...", Principal said

"It seems like everyone has agreed on it. So, The trials will take place tomorrow at 11 am then."

The conclusion which they arrived after the discussion was that Kira future should be decided in the hands of trials which will take place tomorrow.

Everyone left the room but some of them were dissatisfied over conclusion like Aren.

Some were concern like Lisa and Oryn, and some doesn't care like Draves.

After few minutes, As Draves (elder one) was going through a narrow passage, He heard someone calling him.

It was a familiar voice which he heard. 

He turns his face backwards to see who was calling him and found out that the one who was calling him was the elite guard, that boy.

"What you want, Stok", He said with a little bit surprise.

"I just want to give you the message which Arc said", Stok said.

"Van selius ji haul', He said like this something"

Hearing this Draves started smiling.

"Oh man, was that last wish Arc"

"why are you smirking", Stok said.

"Hey, lets go then", saying this he started walking somewhere.

"where..., hey stop"

After few minutes, Stok found himself and Draves in front of prison door.

"lets go, then"

"Umm..., ok"

'sound of opening door'
