Following closely behind, Alixan slipped back into the weapons combat arena and waited for the instructor to return.<br/><br/>The head mistress crossed her arms as she listened to Rila's story. "You and the other student may have started it, Miss Shepherd, but from what we saw, Miss Brunwick certainly ended it," she replied with a cold stare. Turning to Emily, she spoke sternly: "Would you care to give your story?"<br/>Emily accounted the fight from her point of view: her friend, Rila, appeared to have been in trouble. Emily did not initially intend to join the fight, just pull the werewolf attacker away to give Rila enough time to flee, however the plans backfired and the werewolf geared to attack her as well. She continued to explain that she had lost control when her emotions got the better of her. Finally, Emily added with a serious expression. "What I did today was lose control of my powers and Rila is a victim of a hard life," or at least she assumed going by the conversation during lunch. "If you were to expel us, then you're putting innocent lives at the mercy of my untamed abilities and risking Rila's life further. It wouldn't look good for the school if those things were to be publicized." The witch smiled innocently at the teachers, who stared at her in awe for the cunning statement. The headmistress and Emily's eyes locked, but the head gave in with a sigh.<br/>"It would be, indeed. But don't think you're getting away unpunished. All three of you will write a thousand word report on the dangers of school yard brawls and sincerely apologize to the faculty for interrupting class. Rila and your sparring partner will not be permitted to transform outside of class until your guidance councilor says so, and the same goes to you Emily; no abilities outside of class."<br/>Reluctantly Emily nodded and accepted her punishment.
