"Oh no," I muttered under my breath as I noticed Victor's gaze shift toward . He offered a faint smile and chose the seat next to .
"How are you, Amael?" He inquired as he set his bag down.
"Fine, thanks," I replied.
Victor seed to hesitate for a mont before continuing, "I hope nothing unpleasant happened when you were summoned by my father yesterday, Amael."
"Oh, no. Don't worry," I quickly shook my head, nearly forgetting that Jas Raven was Victor's father.
Victor seed visibly relieved. "After all, you didn't do anything."
"Right," I agreed, grateful that he didn't associate with John's actions. "I was just eating."
"rely eating, yes," Victor muttered, a slight grimace on his face that was quickly replaced by a smile. "I didn't realize you had a friend. Is he also in our class?"
"Yeah, he's in the Gold Class," I confird.
"Um... I heard you're from the Celesta Kingdom," Victor asked, his expression curious and kind.
Victor was always attentive to others' feelings.
"Yes, just like John," I confird, deciding not to ntion anything about the Gas.
"Oh! Is there anything different there?" Victor's curiosity seed to spark.
Oh dear.
Truthfully, there wasn't much good about Celesta apart from the fact that third-rate nobles were drawn to it like here.
"Well, I guess people there are less arrogant, annoying, and... cringy," the words slipped out before I could stop them.
The room fell into an awkward silence, all three girls sharing identical stunned expressions.
"Also, maybe the training is more challenging, and there's less oversight," I hastily added, ignoring the incredulous stares from the girls.
I was quite certain about that. In Celesta, without the blessing of the Holy Tree or a superior constitution, we had to train diligently every day.
"Oh," Victor nodded, looking impressed, before his attention shifted to my cuffs. "Aren't you angry that they've taken away all your strength?"
Taken away all my strength? Not really. I an, I can easily work around it by using the mana in the surroundings.

Ah, I see...
So that's why they're so bold in picking fights with and John. They believe we're powerless due to the Anti-Mana cuffs.
It's wonderful.
There is no better feeling than beating up arrogant nobles taking you for a weakling.

'I'm a model student.'
"I-" I began to respond, but before I could continue, footsteps echoed in the classroom. The attention of the entire class turned toward the entrance as two stunning won walked in. One was unmistakably my sister, and following closely behind her was a stunning woman with luxurious, curly black hair tied behind her. She looked really young.
"Most of you already know , but I'll give a quick introduction," the woman announced, her crimson eyes sweeping over the room. "I'm Priscilla Tepes. Tepes indeed. So any so-called 'Great Nobles' here can forget about their status as far as I'm concerned."
Nice.
I already love her.
That bastard cringe elf Jiren won't open his mouth here.
The Tepes House was renowned for being the strongest among the Eight Great Noble Houses. It was pretty understandable, considering the head of the Tepes House was a Demigod. But beyond that, they had a long history of strength and power.
Priscilla's gaze shifted, and she exchanged a smile with Selene before turning her attention to Christina. "This lovely girl is my assistant. You'll be seeing her often with from now on. She'll be here to help you out, so don't hesitate to ask her any questions. And don't be shy; she was in the top five of last year's ranking before she graduated."
The classroom was filled with gasps of amazent at Christina's accomplishnts.
Christina stepped forward, her smile radiant. "I'm Christina Olphean. I'm more than happy to help all of you, so feel free to approach with any questions!" She added a playful wink.
"Don't get them too worked up, Christina. These boys are still in their teens," Priscilla teased with a smile.
I couldn't agree more.
Never trust those hungry beasts.
Also, she should probably adjust her skirt slightly.
