Beneath the vaulted ceilings of the academy's grand hall, portraits of dead archmages watch in silence. Only two candidates remain for a single mastery, and you are one. Mira, the archmage examiner, unrolls the trial with a knowing half-smile that says the real rules are unwritten.
Leo, your rival, is all charm and edges: he praises your talent while quietly sharpening a knife for your argument. He circles, waiting for one loose claim to shred. The masters lean forward. This is where a duel of wits is truly won or lost.
Under cover of a formal bow, Leo leans in and murmurs a secret bargain: ally with him now, split the mastery, and end the duel early. But his phrasing carries a quiet catch, a clause inside the clause, and you can feel the trap breathing beneath the honey.
