"What are you looking at?" Alice suddenly asked, tilting her head toward me.
"Nothing. I just noticed that Rose and Snow's mana are still present around the barrier."
"Oh, you're right!"
Alice turned her attention toward the arena, seemingly intrigued by my observation.
She examined the invisible barrier for a moment before shrugging, apparently satisfied with that explanation.
I couldn't help but glance at her.
Well, I supposed she couldn't perceive the Authority mixed into the barrier as easily as I could.
Even if she possessed an Authority of her own, that didn't necessarily mean she would automatically recognize every similar phenomenon she encountered.
Besides, Alice had never been particularly interested in examining things unless they caught her attention for a specific reason.
And right now, she was probably more interested in watching the upcoming match than figuring out the academy's defensive arrangements.
I decided not to bring it up again.
