Norika’s teeth ground together upon hearing the maids’ words. It was no secret that they despised her. Practically everyone did. As she forced herself to slowly get ready for the coming day, and, most pressingly, her impending tutoring session, the frail girl found herself considering if, perhaps, framing one of the maids for the break in might actually be the best course of action. She’d initially been reluctant to pin the blame on someone in such close proximity to both her home and herself for a variety of reasons, but with things becoming increasingly complicated, the possibility was looking more attractive by the minute. She would have to discuss the matter with Roche when they met later that day.

Speaking of Roche, thanks to the Rule Keeper’s guidance, Norika had begun to grow significantly more proficient in her studies, and her confidence in herself had grown along with it. Thus, she was now starting to enjoy her other tutoring sessions as well. It was always immensely satisfying to see the looks of shock on her disdainful instructors’ faces when she managed to accomplish far more than they believed a stupid failure like her could ever achieve. Of course, they never gave her more than the most minimal and begrudging of praise, but Norika didn’t care. The wonderful feeling of triumph was all that really mattered to her, and as she prepared for the day’s lesson, she eagerly awaited her chance to metaphorically shove all the instructor’s snide remarks about her lack of intelligence right down their throat.
