The red-eyed hydromancer instead found a few others gazing in it's direction. [color=fff79a][i]'How is she able to tell what magic I possess? Mind prying or is she truly able to discern a person's magical affinity?'[/i][/color] The yellow dressed mage thought while studying Penny and the young man which had decided to seemingly hide behind her. [color=fff79a][b]"No worries~ It's fine, It's fine."[/b][/color] Mandi quickly replied to Penny, waving one hand in a dismissive manner. [color=fff79a][b]"Thank you~ Oh and I see! It sure is massive this hall!"[/b][/color] Mandi said in a cheery manner, whilst tilting the head slightly to the side, a smile decorating the young mage's face and eyes momentarily closed. Though the darkhaired mage's eyes did not remain shut for long, and once they opened the hydromancer stepped forwards to try and slowly take hold of Penny's right hand using both it's hands. [hider=Smile] [img]https://i.imgur.com/M3pkf8T.png[/img] [/hider] [color=fff79a][b]"I'm Mandi~ Nice to meet you Penny~ Oh and help me? I don't know. I am just having a little look around. Getting to know the area. I am not sure what this S-class means though, is it like which study class you belong to?"[/b][/color] Mandi smiled with calm looking eyes, looking Penny over carefully before tilting the head from side to side, the black ponytail flapping from side to side. [color=fff79a][i]'S-class mage huh. What does that even mean? What makes one an S-class mage? Raw magical power? Skill? Knowledge? Or is it just a simple official title? We'll see soon enough.'[/i][/color] Mandi couldn't help but ponder, while being reminded that when it came to raw magical power the young mage's father had alot of it. Yet despite that he was ultimately slain by a less powerful mage who knew how to pick it's battles. No matter how strong someones ties to magic would be, even the most powerful could be brought down with the right approach and tactic. How many had relied on sheer brute force to overcome their obstacles, how many more had fallen because of that reliance? There was also another woman which had noticed the red-eyed hydromancer, who Mandi in turn smiled to with closed eyes and a slight tilt of the head. [color=fff79a][i]'Such beauties.'[/i][/color] The mage thought to itself, further interactions would be highly intriguing. These people were no doubt all capable mages on their own, all with their respective views on the world, life and magic itself. Time would surely tell what those views were. Would they be much different from Mandi's own views? The chances were high, after all not everyone had the same upbringing, training and other factors which would gradually form a person. Much like such could form what manner of magic one would wield, for what purpose and how. [color=fff79a][i]'If you gaze upwards too steeply, you won't see the strike that comes from below.'[/i][/color] Mandi thought for a brief moment on a sentence the mage had once heard from someone no longer amongst the living. But even if that person was no longer around, the sentence nontheless rang true in the mage's ears.
