A man confronts Rudy, accusing him of being a lunatic and warning of academy punishment if killed. Rudy denies any intention to kill but uses unexplained magic to restrain the man, claiming the forest itself is silencing him. The trapped man panics and demands a proper duel, but Rudy ignores the challenge. He turns his attention to a woman present, insisting their 'business' must be settled. He declares that since nothing improper occurred between her and the other man, they must now complete their own 'wedding night ceremony', leaving the woman to face his unsettling demand.
