All eyes were pinned on Lia, but she didn't panic. She had received the best types of teaching and resources from Silva, more than most nobles could ever see.
She raised her hand, and without a spell chant, a magical circle formed over her hand, shocking everyone, but she didn't stop there.
The circle expanded quickly and covered the whole space of the hall, and then snow began falling from the circle.
She looked at Nick with eyes that asked, is this enough? He nodded, and she stopped her demonstration and returned to her seat under the stupefied gazes of her mates.
Brian only came to realize at this time that he had messed up; if he hadn't been so egotistical, he could have saved himself the shame and also the points.
But there was no use crying over spilled milk. He would have to go and meet her after this class and hand them over to her; he dared not think of cheating her.
