A Push from Behind

Upon arriving at the training grounds, I found eager students watching from the audience stands. My suspicion was correct—Professor Rauffen truly was absent.

“Kenntrips!” one of the spectators yelled. “Stop running and get some hits in!”

“You’re getting too heated, Rasantark!” roared another. “It’s leaving you wide open!”

Beyond the jeering crowd, I glimpsed flashes of blue capes. What were Kenntrips and Rasantark thinking? Even as apprentices, a scholar would not stand a chance against a knight.

“The grounds are closed!” Heilliese called. “Leave at once!”

“These two did not acquire the proper permission!” Cordula added. “Spectators might be charged with failing to stop errant fighting!”

They started shooing away the students, who scattered at once for fear of being punished by association. Their departure gave me a clear view of the battle: Rasantark was launching attacks while Kenntrips focused on defense.

“That is enough, both of you!” I shouted, but neither of them stopped. Kenntrips merely glanced in my direction, and Rasantark was either pointedly ignoring me or too absorbed in his assault to notice. I turned to my head attendant and said, “Cordula, step back.”

I formed my schtappe, then channeled so much mana into it that Rasantark would have to acknowledge me. It crackled in my hand as a bluish-white light glowed at its tip. Only then did the apprentice knight pause, but it was too late—I swung my schtappe down and shouted at the top of my lungs.

“THAT IS ENOUGH!”

A bolt of blue-white mana shot straight toward Rasantark. He dodged at once, his shield arm raised, while Cordula and my knights cried, “Geteilt!” A massive explosion resounded moments later, creating shockwaves that spread all the way back to me.

“Lady Hannelore, that was far too dangerous!” Rasantark yelped.

“Yet it paled in comparison to the danger you are causing! Attacking an apprentice scholar without restraint... What in the world were you thinking?! You were not given approval for this, were you?”

Rasantark faltered in the face of my sharp eyes. “But Lady Hannelore! There are times when men have no choice but to fight!”

“Duels are strictly forbidden. If you wish to battle, then seek permission and do it properly: in a fair, honest ditter match. A knight of Dunkelfelger succumbing to emotion and bringing his might to bear against an unprepared scholar is simply unforgivable. Expect my brother to hear about this.”

It was then that Professor Rauffen burst onto the scene. “Forgive me, Lady Hannelore!” he boomed. “You were forced to carry out my work in my absence! Kenntrips, Rasantark—you weren’t authorized to duel. Are you prepared to face the consequences?”

“I apologize,” Kenntrips said without any further prompting. But his words only angered Rasantark, who leapt on him in a rage.

“Are you serious?!” the apprentice knight yelled. “Tell them the truth! Tell them you never fought back!”

“Rasantark?!” I shrieked, but Professor Rauffen leapt down from the audience stands, seized the knight by the wrist, and threw him aside. He then bound the troublemaker with light, forcing him to calm down.

Was it true that Kenntrips
