Render was simultaneously exasperated and entertained as a group of boys ran past him. It was just Elizabeth being herself as always, he supposed, but he sometimes wished that she could stop being so cursedly intimidating to every student she'd met. The Headmaster actually had to suppress a shudder at what would happen if Elizabeth tried that on Miataea - his currently indisposed Senior Student Representative.

The girl was docile and frankly quite plain outwardly, but Render wagered that there was no student (or even some of the teachers for that matter) in the school that could match her in sheer raw talent and skill. The fact that she compounded it with good work ethics was the icing on the cake. It was just too bad that she had a habit of experimenting with her spells unsupervised. Truthfully, her coming here hand been a fluke, like sending a large uncut diamond to a blacksmith rather than a jeweler - it should have ruined her. Instead, she flourished and became the schools best shot at nationwide recognition. In fact, come the Autumn Dragon Festival or even the Summer Phoenix Festival, Render would let her participate in the Honor Games as the Magestrava Grande of the school.

The Honor Games where tournaments held for senior student Magestrava to show-off the prowess of their representative Academy. For years, Adeline Academy was unable to participate due to being unable to produce students who could reach the standards of the Games. Now however, he not only had Miataea but also several other students that more than matched up to the standards, in his opinion. Each student had been under his scrutiny for years, and he knew each one's history, skills, personality. Heck, he might even go as far as to say he knew them better than themselves, in terms of potential.

Adam, Aoife - [i]Fates he might even include Elizabeth and Veili in that list[/i] - and finally Miataea. 

The other Academies where in for a surprise this year, thought Render,
