“Are you sure about this Ethan?” Professor Violet asked. “Staking your position as Pillar for this duel is not compulsory. You can refuse if you want to.”
“It’s fine, Professor,” Ethan replied. “There are times when people need to stand their ground, even if the stakes are not in their favor.”
Langston, who heard Ethan’s reply, simply sneered. For him, fighting against a Dud was such a trivial manner. The only reason why he asked to put their titles as Pillars on the line was because he found the handsome young man to be an annoyance.
“I will ask you one last time,” Professor Violet stated. “Are you sure about this?”
Ethan nodded. “I’m sure of it, Professor.”
Professor Violet sighed before crossing her arms over her chest to ponder a bit. She knew that Ethan was just going along with his emotions, and there was no stopping him at this point.
Even so, she was still worried, so she decided to make an announcement.
