Mandi were however one of the chosen as a ring of light materialized under each one of them. Thirteen. They were only thirteen who was going to be able to stay? What about the rest? The young mage blinked looking over at those who had not been chosen and their looks of disappointment, their fear, their weeping and anger. It never was a matter of who was winning or losing, he only wanted to see who could control their mana the best. The professor began to explain himself and more or less told the rest to leave. Then they sunk down into their own shadows, was this a spell of the professor. Mandi made a mental note of it, if there would come a day where they would have to stand against the professor's magic it would do well in having a plan to deal with such a thing. The young mage however felt bad for those who came here looking to learn to simply be discarded as pieces of trash like that. Their professor was merciless, but not only that. Mandi suspected that his actions would no doubt drive some of the newly expelled to seek knowledge elsewhere and try prove him wrong. While it could be a strong motivator, it was just that kind of motivator which drew others to desperate means to attain recognition. Even if it meant turning to darker paths. Most of the things the professor had said did not sit well with the hydromancer. [color=fff79a][i]'Sever the dead limb before the body succumbs...' [/i][/color]Mandi thought on that one line, it was one that had to be memorized for later. Then they were dismissed by the professor, thought it was not his words which occupied most of Mandi's mind. It was the battle that Yvaine had been through. First the opponents had teamed up on her, hurling things at her and pouring some water over her head. Yet she nontheless flew about on golden wings, it had been simply stunning to watch how beautiful she had looked. The young mage pondered on the use of such a spell, and would have to ask Yvaine about it when there was time. As for the two shameless villains she were fighting, one of them, the bluehaired one had the audacity to use a wall of dirt against her in an attempt to sully her beauty, the girl had been flung right into it's path. When Mandi had first seen the water having been dropped over Yvaine's head had been something that deserved a slap across the face, now after doing that thing with the mud. Now that had made the young mage grit it's teeth and tighten it's fists, how dared this bluehaired boy treat her like that? Not only that but as the battle had progressed, the blue haired scoundrel had attempted to be sly and offer his hand to Yvaine as if he were a chivalrious knight. The very thought was sickening to the hydromancer, even more so when the bluehaired boy had decided to help clean her up. Then came the last straw. Yvaine kissed the bluehaired boy. That damned Alstein kid! It had been at that moment that Mandi had felt the strongest about sprinting into action, wanting to give the boy a slap of divine punishment across the face. But ultimately Mandi refrained in doing so, realizing the professor wouldn't approve of interuptions. But now all the fights were over, and they had all gotten dismissed. It was time to find Yvaine and make sure that blue haired boy kept his distance. It was at that time that Sophiel approached the hydromancer, congratulating both Mandi and Yvaine which stood abit further away, but still within proximity to them. [b][color=fff79a]"Oh! Miss Sophiel~ Congratulations to you aswell, afraid I was finished abit after you so I didn't get to witness your fight. How did it go? Did you beat the acting class representative? Oh and we should totally go check out the dorms~ Miss Yvaine~ Let's go check out the dorms~!"[/color][/b] Mandi raised the voice slightly in the direction of Yvaine, making sure that blue haired leech was nowhere near her. [i][color=fff79a]'You will pay for this, Kress Alstein!'[/color][/i] Mandi thought whilst narrowing the eyes abit, looking for the blue haired villain amidst the gathering.
