One battle made him famous!
Hmm... this doesn't seem like the first battle though, this should count as the second battle. The first one was against Amos.
Anyway, in short, Angel's popularity soared. The previous shadow cast over him for volunteering and causing other Vein Council members to be reprimanded vanished. The academic underdogs admired the top student even more.
Except for one person.
Who?
Our president, Alvis. His gaze towards Angel... began to be filled with a certain doubt.
"Angel, I have a few words to say to you." Pulling Angel aside, the president whispered, "The two hundred silver coins..."
"You promised me."
"Yes, I know, I promised you. I absolutely won't default. But... you need to give me some time."
"How long?"
"A month. I need to find a way to scrape from other funds. The Vein Council isn't mine alone. I hope you understand."
Angel's eyes began to flicker, "It's not yours alone?"
"Of course."
"But you can still... 'scrape' from the funds?"
