The duke is furious with the schoolmaster for beating his son. He tells the duke that he's a light knight, which means that he can only be a mage if he is at the top of his class. The duke asks if the kid has the strength to beat him, and the duke says that he doesn't think he can keep up this fight any longer. He asks the duke to explain what happened, but the duke tells him that his student told him that the other students were the ones who provoked the duke's son first, and that the duke just wanted to protect them. He says that if the duke does not give him an explanation today, he will.
