Lia stepped forward, taking a deep breath as she stood in the center of the classroom, her hands trembling. Around her, everyone was eager to see what the "monster's" girlfriend was capable of.
She raised her hand, closed her eyes, and channeled her mana with all her might. Ten seconds passed, and then a spark appeared… but it dissipated immediately. She tried again, but only managed to generate another spark. On the third attempt, she only managed to ignite a faint flame in her palm before it vanished like a candle extinguished by the wind.
Laughter began to echo in the room; the nobles couldn't contain themselves and started to mock her.
"Not even a fireball? Seriously?"
"Maybe she's trying to heat water for tea."
"Hey, Lia, when's the fire coming?"
The emboldened nobles started to mock Lia even more while the teacher did nothing to stop them.
