"Indeed I am," she affirmed Nettle's analysis on her rank with a smile.

"It's not necessary," Corona answered matter-of-factly. "You become a Master by mastering your own house's knowledge, not by understanding others. THat would come [i]after[/i] you become a Master, where you could take on a second school."

She finally answered her question, and with it, Corona withdrew all of her familiar. "I see. So you're utilizing the Phantasma crypt. Makes sense. I've certainly heard that some of the students there dabbled in necromancy. I dislike what they're doing with corpses but it's not my place to be against something the Academy approves, though I certainly didn't expect one of them to bring their corpse into a Herbology meeting."

She had noticed the knight's growing axe thanks to her shared visions with all her familiars, but she decided not to comment on it.

"I do still have another complain however. The smell. I don't come to Herbology to smell a corpse's rotting scent. Perfume it or something."

And with that, she left Nettle behind, going back to her workstation to resume her work.
