Alora decided she needed a moment to herself right then. “I’m going to go to the lady’s room really quick.” Then she was up and heading swiftly down the stairs.
Jason waited till Alora made it to the stairway leading to the underground before he spoke. “You all remember how Alora mentioned putting a chair under her doorknob earlier.” They all turned to look at faxon, their bodies tensing up at his question.
“Alora said it was because she did not have a lock in her bedroom door. Then text messages asking for our fight music came in and we did not follow up on it. The way she said it though, was like it was no big deal.” Mason said, quietly, his expression dour.
“She did, but her eyes said something different.” Jaxon said, “So I was just texting one of my cousins, she’s a counselor, and asked her why a female would block her bedroom door with a chair under the doorknob.”
Darien, like Jaxon, had also seen that Alora’s eyes had a different tale to tell than what her lips were saying. “What did she say?”
Darien asked, a faint grow! in his tone.
Jason’s expression became even darker. “My cousin told me it depended on the situation. One scenario is if the female lives in a place or area where they feel door locks are not enough of a security measure. They then would use this trick to give themselves time to grab a weapon just in case there was an intruder.” [axon paused, clenching his hands into tight fists.

Darson’s expivision looked strained as he shook his head. “No, ma she would not “Darien looked down, unclenching one fist to grip the back of his neck. “Alora has always been a very private person. Damit neat nechavive “
“Victims of routine violense generally are. It is a mentality that is forced upon them until it becomes instinctual.” Jason commented calmly, a note of sadness in his tone
Theit sommersation ended with the return of Alosa and the voice of Vir Piscipal Kalia over the sound system,
After Alora had landed her winning blow against Sarah, Vice Busipal Kalia made her way over to Principal Josathan. The number of challenges to the Alpha Class was going to require them to place a time restriction on those fights.
Kalia was there to confer with Jonathan on just what that amount of time wi Kalu Nowel respectfully to the Pack Alpha and Luna, greeting them first before greeting Jonathan
“There were too many challenges issued to the Alpha Class fighters this year and we need to set a time allotment for each match. If we do not, we will have to postpone the written exams by a full dos “Kalia told Jonathan
Jonathan leaned back, he had one arm crossed over his waist, and the elbson of the other braved on it. Jonathan rested his chin on his raised bist and studied Kalu with a faint smile
“And what solution have you come up with, Vice Principal” fonatban asked, a Esnt smile on his lips
“I think we should finit the allotment of time to five minutes” Kalia said confidenth.
Jonathan’s smile deepened. “What if the match were to end in a daw?
Not mussing a beat, Kalia amwvoed. “If there is a draw in the match, we will ahance that student as we would if there would have been a clear cut victory. After that, it will be up to them to defend and keep their ranking in their new fighter class,”
Jonathan nodded, satisfied with Kala’s answers. Not that he expected it to go any other way: Jonathan respected the female quite a lot, for her work ethic, intelligence and her genuine kindness and dedication to the pups of the school. with your solution. When do you plan to implement tha” Jonathan asked.
“Starting with the Delta Class challenges. As soon as the medical staff is done scraping Sarah Noethussountain off the arena wall, I will make the anisouven Kalia replied.
Jonathan nodded again in approval. “Then I will leave you to it
Kalia nodded. “Thank you, sic.” Then the bowed respectfully again to Aishrew and Bebet. “I will take mis leave them,
“It is times like these that I am grateful we are so long lived. You and Kalia have both proven to be the best thing for this school and the students. These students and teachers have thrived under you two for several decades now.” Luna Ember said, after
Kalia had left.
Jonathan blushed and was surprised, to think he could still blush at his age. He felt honored to have been given such a compliment from his Luna. He would tell kalia about it later.
“Thank you, Luna, to receive such a high complement is truly an honor.” Jonathan said, smiling.
Just then, Kalia walked to the center of the fighter’s platform with a microphone in hand.
“Hello everyone if I can have your attention for a few moments, I am here to announce there has been a minor change to the rules of the last of the challenges for advancement. Due to the overwhelming number of challenges issued, we are limiting the battles to five minutes. In the event any fight was to end in a draw at this five minute mark, the challenger will be allowed to advance. We will begin the Delta Class fighter part of the challenges in five minutes. With that announcement made, Kalia calmly walked off the platform. here was a low runble from the crossl as everyone started talking after Vice Principal Kalia’s announcement. Students talked to other students. Parents and family members talked to other parents and family members. The tow where the Alphat Class
Fighters sat was the only quiet section at the moment.
Our corner of Mason’s mouth was twitching, while one of Garrett’s eyebrows was bitching. Darien let out a short wry sounding laugh. Jaxon and Lexus post sat there glaring up at the screen with the last of coming challenges, their expressions gloomy.
Alora’s face, other than having one ryebrow raised, was expressionless.
“Are we even going to have the energy to fight in the main part of the examination after all the challengers are through with us?”
