The new student of the academy and youngest member of the Gloove family, which was known for the botanists they raised, was standing right in front of the young boy she was half the size of. The other three nobles saw the situation of the senior students on the ground and stepped back a few steps, but the girl with her own charm was waiting on the spot.
"Can I pass?"
Mel kindly asked her to open the way, but the young girl did not withdraw. She persistently kept blocking the passage.
"How did you do that?"
Maria took a step closer and spoke by leaning towards Mel's chest. There were determined looks in her eyes. Only two could hear what she was saying, and her preference made the situation uncanny for those watching them.
