Lorian smiled. These two at least weren't foolish enough to overlook their well-being. Normally, students label those who refuse challenges as cowards to provoke them. So, she hoped Skyler and Charles would stay level-headed even in those times.
"You can decline. However, you have to accept the challenge if the challenger files a complaint and the professors deem it okay. This is to foster competition."
She leaned in slightly and whispered.
"A friendly piece of advice: fighting in campus is forbidden. Students can only fight in the arenas in the academy. So, if you two avoid those who challenge you, maybe you will stay in Class A longer."
Charles nodded and muttered a thanks.
Skyler sighed in relief. He was shameless, so he knew he could avoid fighting until he got strong enough to beat the challenger.
He started checking his ID card as they climbed back onto the four-wheeler.
