No matter where they were, watching a spectacle was human nature. Fang Zheng was no exception. After finally squeezing into the crowd, he saw several men surrounding a woman. Both sides wore Ravenscroft Academy uniforms. Several people had already fallen at the woman's feet, but the others showed no sign of backing down. Instead, they continued brandishing their Imperial Armaments and attacking her.
