"Hey… careful, you're going to hurt yourself," Michael said, cupping Liliana's hands in his own, a look of panic etched across his face.
Oh, he had fallen far too deep.

Yes, she would do this, but not now.
She should have targeted other nobles first, securing her place among the elites. Then, after the grading exams—before the first arc—that's when she was supposed to shift her attention to Michael.
Something's wrong.
Could this be a butterfly effect?
Well, I guess I'll find out eventually.
Right now, we were in Alchemy class. Compared to the crowded Study of Mana lectures, this turnout was almost laughable. There were only about sixty of us here, and the classroom was so large that the professor had asked us to move closer to the front to make things easier.
