Filius leaned closed to Sophie, and hugged her in front of all of them. "We promised to have each others backs, no matter what. I didn't want to leave before, and I won't leave now. "He said, before walking towards the man. "Fine then. You think I am a simple skirt-wearer? Then I'll take it as you accept my challenge. Tonight, at the 6th bell-toll. We shall meet in the courtyard supervised by our respective instructors. "He said. "If it will make you feel better, I won't even use more than one spell, or use my sword: I'll just use my fists. "he said.

"As for you-"he said, pointing towards the teacher. "If you're any kind of learned man, you should know the basic fact of history: It always repeats itself. "he said. He then turned as the bell rung, signalling the end of class. "This will be settled tonight. As of right now, I have a date with a beautiful woman. On my honor as an Imperii, I won't leave her waiting. "he said. The last part was to be a warning to all of them. The Imperii were known to produce powerful weapon-masters, and if Filius was one of them, then his strength was obvious. It was too late for them to back out now.

Filius would bow before Sophie, placing a hand on his chest. "May I escort you to dinner?" he said, a smile on his face.
