It had been a day since the instructors and Carlos had stepped into the Blood Trials. The chaos had finally been halted, the brutal battles stopped, and every student—first and second years alike—was evacuated from the battleground. All were transported back to the First-Year building, many bruised, some unconscious, and all shaken.
Upon arriving, Instructor Silver wasted no time. She immediately contacted other military officials to assist in the investigation and began the questioning of all involved.
The testimonies were disturbingly consistent.
The majority of the First Years pointed fingers at the Second Years, their faces etched with terror and anger. And the bruises, broken bones, and the brutal condition of Darnell left no room for doubt—the Second Years had taken things too far.
Silver had been livid. Not just her—every instructor that reviewed the report boiled with fury. The actions of the upperclassmen had crossed every boundary.
