---Meeting Room---

Eyes narrowed as they surveyed the room, watching as some personel left though not many. They paused for a moment on the outsider, the bounty hunter Enishi, before refocusing on the court mage and fellow teacher, Athos. 

Athos was a mentor of sorts to Tibrus when he was younger, helping the now Head Architect find his place in the academy while juggling his responcibilities to his family and kingdom. As a teacher himself he would at times share tea with the older man when time permitted, disscusing magical theories, new testing formats and small talk of their daily lives outside the halls of the Academy. He held a great respect for the elder teacher and knew that he would help in any way he could.

"[color=7ea7d8]Hm. General Tozen. I have heard of your exploits-[/color]" Kazudain offered a quick bow. "[color=7ea7d8]-Fight well my adversary.[/color]" Without warning Maldur's eyes glowed before the cat-beast released a terrifying roar, one that bombarded both the walls and the audience as it blew away the last of the smoke. It would be heard by the fighters in the other halls, sending chills down their spines. As one, Kazudain and Maldur charged forward, the man drawing his sword as he ran.

Suddenly there was a loud crack of thunder, and Kazudain stood behind the left Tozen, sword outstretched. He swiftly turned then lept back, sword at the ready. Maldur ran around the edge, coming to meet with his master with great swiftness.
