After the first Fundamentals of Magic class, William and Lía left without much conversation. The atmosphere still felt heavy: the stares, the whispers, the subtle mockery of the nobles, and the silence. For William, this was nothing; as someone reincarnated, the nobles' attitude, like children giving someone the silent treatment, actually made him laugh. He was only slightly bothered by the professor's stance; he naively expected teachers to be neutral, but they seemed to strongly favor the nobles. But now that they were finally outside the classroom, the atmosphere was lighter. People on the street didn't pay them too much attention since they didn't know who they were.
They both walked together towards the dining hall. Their magical collars emitted a faint green light, a sign that they were authorized to move freely through the academy's corridors during class hours.
