Mina bowed her head in genuine gratitude. "Thank you for considering me! I'll catch up with you in Daler's room, if that's okay. I promised some students I would meet up with them after the Capture The Flag game. It won't take very long, I promise." Right now, there was nothing Mina wanted more than to drink tea with a teacher, and hopefully her future mentor at that, she did not want to stand up Ryuuto and Jun-Sang, the latter of whom was already here. There was nothing Mina hated more than a lack of punctuality, and hated doing things she didn't like seeing in others. That would make her a hypocrite. She nodded at Jun-Sang, to convey that they should both head over soon, though she wasn't thrilled about showing them both her lack of notes. She was going more to make her excuses and learn as much that she missed as she could, that to share what she had written.

Mina smiled at Daler, and then started to think in pictures. It was a bit more effort, but it did feel easier to hide things. She did think the word 'thanks', however, and quietly too. She knew from last year that trying to get your thoughts to the forefront of your mind for the sole purpose of getting Daler to read them was the equivalent of shouting very loud.

Roy's last sentence to her was definitely a thinly veiled challenge. She would not answer it now. She didn't trust herself to answer him in a way that would be acceptable in front of a teacher. But she'd remember it, and hone her powers, and learn new ways to fight, so that when they met at the first practical exam, which if she remembered correctly was in about a month's time, she was going to take him down. Nothing to do with her larger goal; this was purely for her personal satisfaction. She gave him one final glare, and then made a point of not looking at him at all for the rest of the conversation.
