The Empire of Reimia (3)

— Hey! — Gilbert approached Moriner and grabbed him by the jacket, — what happened?

Moriner, having calmed down a bit, didn't resist Gilbert and resignedly lowered his head. There was no point in lying or denying anything anymore.
-We... were testing an invention. But there was an accident... the projectile malfunctioned and flew towards the academy. It's my fault. I couldn't handle it and put the lives of other students at risk. - he said it quietly and slowly, barely managing to keep his voice steady.
