"Why stop him?" The Academy Elder raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He extended a finger, pointing toward Fangyuan from a distance, and continued, "This child has complete control over the situation and shows great restraint. You see how he strikes their necks? He only targets the sides, never the back of the head or the nape of the neck. He knows that striking the sides causes immediate unconsciousness, whereas strikes to the back of the head or neck can be fatal, so he has intentionally avoided such attacks."
"Look at these youths on the ground—is any of them seriously injured? Not a one! Even if they were, what of it? Can our Academy’s healing Gu Masters not treat a few bruises and scrapes?"
"But Elder, this child is truly too arrogant. He’s blocking the very entrance, showing absolutely no regard for us guards. Ignoring us is one thing, but consider how the clan will view our Academy. To allow a lowly Grade C student to cause such a ruckus without intervening? If word gets out, it may tarnish your reputation, sir," the lead guard suggested, squinting his eyes.
