"Your Highness, you really went all out this time!"
A cheerful voice called from behind. Snow turned slightly, her pale hair shimmering faintly under the light, and smiled softly at Janica, who was approaching with her staff resting over her shoulder.
"Fufu~ I wanted to leave some for the others," Snow said lightly. "But that man I spared for a moment—he was a prominent prospect. He could've caused us trouble later if left alone."
"I see…" Janica nodded, wiping frost off her gloves. "I was wondering why your spell's strength dipped for a moment when it reached him. But was it really necessary to try recruiting him right in the middle of battle?"
Snow's eyes curved in amusement. "Not exactly. But it was a rare opportunity. I don't get much time these days to interact with other students directly—especially foreign ones. Everyone's schedules clash, and, well… mine's rather complicated."
