Lysandra's jaw dropped. She composed herself quickly and said. "What do you mean by that, Professor? You can't—"
Zharina interrupted. "I definitely can. Thirty years ago, Professor Himmel and Professor Tudar fought each other when they faced a similar situation of a tie among the actual matches planned."
Lysandra said. "But the situation was different. They were allowed to fight only because most of their students were unable to compete. In your case, I can see each of your students doing perfectly fine."
Zharina shook her head in disagreement. "Headmistress, that's exactly what I'm saying. They didn't have the choice to pick from their squad. And that's the same situation we're facing today."
She gestured toward Jax's side.
