Redditor MoaBurger uploaded a short clip on the social media platform that shows them having a conversation with an NPC in the first person mode. The NPC is revealed as a student in theCollege of Winterholdwho is seeking help from the Dragonborn. The subsequent dialogues suggest the student was looking for the player’s help regarding wards and requested them to teach him. The user obliges and begins the lesson but has to stop abruptly due to an unexpected reason.

A few moments after the player and the student begin practicing wards, two guards approach out of nowhere and start attacking the student. Ultimately, the student is fatally injured by this assault. MoaBurger was astonished by this gruesome act, which can be seen through the post’s title, “That’s what you get for wanting to improve yourself.” TheSkyrimcommunity on Reddit was understandably amazed and positively received the post, as shown by hundreds of positive votes with a 100% upvote ratio.
