บท 67: Chapter 15 - Grazio's challenge (part 3)

Miriette gave the heroine one hateful look and she passed out.

Thankfully Zoemi was there to catch her.

"My lady...? My lady...!?"

He cried and when there was no response he started trembling and his voice grew desperate.

"My lady!?"

"Calm down boy! She has just passed out!"

Kros, the elderly teacher who finally regained enough composure to join in, called to Zoemi to stop his panic.

"She's not...?"

Zoemi looked at Kros with tearful eyes while protectively holding Miriette close to his body.

"Of course not! It's just mana depletion, haven't you heard of it by now? It's not lethal! Your master just needs a good rest – didn't you hear her say it?"

The elderly light magician scoffed and pointed at the pitiful heroine clenching her hands close to her body while trembling.

Seeing her like this, she really looked like a very scared small animal that had no idea what she did wrong to deserve getting hit.
