Axel leaned in towards Riguras and muttered something in his ear. The expression on Riguras' face changed. An expression of seriousness and solemnity appeared on his face upon hearing whatever Axel had to report.
"What happened?" Wenton questioned with a frown.
"It is about Trux," Riguras replied.
"Trux? The guy who was beaten?" Wenton pressed. "What happened to him?"
"He was beaten. Again," Riguras replied. "Along with two of his lackeys."
"In the academy?" Edward interjected.
"Yes," Riguras confirmed. "In the academy."
"By whom?" Edward questioned with a frown.
"Athar VonCruz!" Riguras replied in a solemn tone.
"What?" Edward snapped. "Impossible."
"It has not even been one month since he started to cultivate," he added. "This is absolutely impossible. This is ridiculous."
"Well, Trux reported it himself," Axel remarked, standing behind Riguras. "It is true."
"He was beaten by Athar VonCruz," he added with certainty in his tone.
