27 Inheritor x 2 (2/2)
”Nora do you not understand the opportunity I'm offering you? Why would you even want to be taught by him, you have an Affinity for Fire and Air, why would you care for a black magician like him?” in the heat of the moment, Great Mage Mirlie responded with harsher words than she truly meant.
”Well, Mirlie... I happen to share something in common with him.” Nora couldn't stand Great Mage Mirlie talking down to someone who had protected her from Headmaster Thurmond. Although she too had protected her, it was clear that only Sev truly stayed the Headmasters hand.

The completely foreign proposition immediately halted the 'teacherly discussion' as the two Great Mages thought it over.
Great Mage Mirlie couldn't help but reply, ”Nora you truly are quite greedy...”
