After taking a few moments to dust herself off, Runa asked again.
"Did I pass?"
Rune looked over at Gabi. He was having trouble deciding so he decided to let the maid go first. "Why didn't you use more spells, young miss?" she asked.
"Because they make me tired," Runa answered.
She had more spells she could use besides basic panels and her barrier clap spell. Some of them she had even snuck out to practice in secret. But her mana capacity was very small. Bigger spells tired her out quicker.
"...I also thought I could get a better score if I didn't use them too much."
Rune smiled at this.
"My little girl is so smart!"
He had the urge to wrap her up in another hug but held himself back as he could see she was still a bit shaken up after their sparring match.
