Eh? Teachers? [i]We?[/i]

W-Was I being played with here? There was no way on earth someone who looked so young...

She wasn't messing with me. I needed to find a way to reconcile this in my head, because that displeased reaction was way too earnest to be her acting.

Was this like a grad student situation? Could she maybe be a really youthful-looking upperclassman of mine? Wait, no, she'd still count under Family Day in that case! 

She was at least a fully-fledged Huntress. Her not being a student in any capacity was why she couldn't call up her family to come see her. These were the immutable facts of the matter, based off of what she herself had just told me.

In hindsight, that certainly explained her getup...
