Kurt's expression darkened the moment Harvey spoke. "What part of this do you not understand?" he asked sharply, brows knitting together.

Harvey's face twisted, his tone growing colder with every word. "I want to know," he said, eyes burning with disbelief, "how a low-born girl from some backwater town is qualified to receive your one and only President's Emblem."

At that, Kurt's face turned completely stormy. "And who exactly," he said, his voice low and lethal, “are you calling a low-born girl from a backwater town?"

Harvey sneered. Kurt was deliberately avoiding the real issue.

He had no interest in wasting more words on the man, so he turned instead to Corey Jackson, standing beside Kurt, and bowed slightly with a falsely respectful tone.

"Mr. Jackson," he said, "this woman standing across from me is nothing more than a first-year student. Yet on her very first day, she was handed an emblem granting her authority equal to the President's-and she's been using that emblem to run wild across the academy. I respectfully request that you report this matter to the military and move to have President Monroe removed from his position. Furthermore, I ask that this girl, who neither respects her superiors nor understands her place, be expelled from Regalhold University."

At his words, Corey's brow twitched ever so slightly.

But before he could respond, Kurt suddenly laughed.

His gaze snapped to Harvey, sharp as a blade. "Respect her superiors? Understand her place? She's the acting president of this institution. So tell me, Harvey-what 'superiors' does she need to bow to? What 'place' is she supposed to remember in front of you?"

Harvey didn't move.
