While Duncan looked for a mat to sit on, Roland sat taping his fingers waiting for the principal to make her announcement. The tension in the great hall could be seen in the students faces and heard in their whispers. Some were completely clueless asking if anyone knew what had happened while others retold rumors they had heard. Many had some slivers of truth, but none touched upon the unthinkable demise of a student. Roland slowly put his hand on his stomach as his frustration turned into nauseous pains. He wanted to tell them, but he wouldn’t risk spreading more fear and panic to the terrified crowds. They’d need to hear it from the principal herself… Or the vice principal.

As Ms. Reiko took the stage a hush fell over, everyone wanted to hear as she gave the answers they so desperately wanted. Once she confirmed their worst fears, Roland glanced around at the students to see their reaction. Some gasped in shock while a few others solemnly turned their gaze to the floor. Roland, however, to his surprise, didn’t jump to fear and despair, instead he clenched his fists and looked towards the stage with passion burning like the fire ignited in him. He wanted action. He wanted justice for their fallen comrade and would do anything to see it done. 

He continued watching as Reiko announced the new rules and regulations that he predicted would be put into place. With each one his anger rose. He knew they were only thinking of their safety, but he wasn’t here to play things safe. Finally, when asked if there are any questions, Roland looked directly at the crimson mage and yelled, [color=556b2f]“Yeah I got a few."[/color]

The heads of the students and staff all turned to him as he leapt out of his seat and spoke in an almost thunderous voice. [color=556b2f]"Why are you making us be watched over like children? Aren’t we here to learn how to stand up and fight for ourselves? We should be standing our ground. Show whoever did this we aren’t afraid like real Dawnslayers! Not cowering around the staff and hiding in our dorms at the first sign of danger!”[/color]

The young Nightbreaker knew all eyes would be darting between him and the vice principal waiting for her to silence him or dole out some sort of punishment, but he didn’t care. He wanted them to know he wasn’t going to take such cowardice restrictions sitting down.
