Chapitre 101: Time? - Lessons

Obviously, I was met with complete and total silence—either from shock or confusion—but it didn't take long before Matthew got out of it and let out a loud roar:

"W-Who! WHOA! HOLD ON, NOW! Y-You used birdshot! That's fucking cheating! I'm not handing my keys over to you!"

I turned to Tatiana with an angelic expression but with a devilish smile, "Tatiana, did I cheat? Cheating means breaking the rules, right? What were the rules again?"

Tatiana lightly shook her head as she chuckled, "The arrangement was that a graze was enough. That means that you didn't cheat. I believe everyone here was witness to it when that rule was established by Sir Matthew himself."

Before that, the crowd was completely divided but Tatiana's explanation cleared up several things. My actions could've been a little scummy but it was well within the rules we both agreed on. If anything, the other party should've been more specific about the things he was complaining about now.
