The silence between Eleina and Northern was tense. Northern had an annoying soft smile lingering on his face, one that seemed to infuriate Eleina by the second.
She clenched her hands so tightly her entire hand muscles became rigid, almost like breaking, then she broke and sighed, letting all that frustration and anger go in a breath. It was almost like magic.
Her entire demeanor changed in an instant, so obvious that even Northern was intrigued.
She looked at him.
"Fine, I will let you do it your way. But not here."
Northern looked around, observing everyone before coming back to Eleina.
"I am not opposed to anything, but the kind of person I have known you to be wouldn't it be to your benefit for everyone to behold the magnificent scene of your student breaking the will of a rare mineral ore such as this, in a way that has never been seen before?"
