"I believe in the system."
"So okay." Jasmine wanted to fight this guy, he harmed a student. He came on her territory, a campus of all things and tried to break and take things. He had just threatened murder as a possibility. Which meant likely other people here would have beennhurt if got I'm his way. It was all to easy to imagine how this could have escalated into something worse.
However Jazz also believed she would be in the clear possibly outed as a hero and out of a teaching job but the system would understand her side, she didn't think it hope she believed it. Authorities would have been called but she was the teacher who bravely, maybe recklessly tried to buy time for such. Who was willing to go on the defensive for this college and those in it. Throwing a pen into the eye probably wasn't going to fly under self defense granted.
Then again Jasmine wasn't known for her dart game either. A few of her college buddies could make a case for her accuracy with such a throw sure. Generally speaking though that probably in a trial would be marked up as a lucky shot. She wouldn't lie and say she didn't hope to hit the eye, Jasmine wanted to be honest. But who really expected a college teacher to actually impale an eye with a pen? Of course there was also the issue that someone wasn't a real cop. That might be harder to pull off. This could end up being a gamble, but the Weapon Master knew the hero she desired to be.
So her stance loosened, shield still ready to rise in defense but generally non combative. There was a chance for super heroes to become a thing in this age. To Jasmine though they also had to be accountable. If a defender was who she was then decapitation of others by shield couldn't be.
"Odds are I'll lose my job for it, have a fine to add to the loans. As if I've money for any of it. But I'll be okay. What do you think your odds are?"
