Let the record show that Nina was actually an EXCELLENT student. She excelled at most everything. Despite the illusion she attempted to uphold, she thoroughly enjoyed studying. It was why all of her Witch Weekly Magazines had copies of her notes hidden within them. Potions was one of her best subjects following History, Defense, Runes, and Arithmancy. But she had very quickly learned to adapt her classroom mannerisms so that they matched the image she was trying to portray. Because both Professor Beryl and Professor Sandhu had called her in after lessons. Her crime? Receiving excellent marks on every assignment, while remaining absolutely silent in the classroom.

And so, Nina learned.

The best way to keep a Professor off your back was to play the part you wanted them to believe. While pretending to butcher her classroom assignments hurt a part of her very being (and went against everything she knew), it did a convincing enough job to steer the majority of her classmates away from skepticism. But she did know what she was doing. She only pretended as if she didn’t.

And while Eiji Rasting was not easily convinced, she was certain that Professor Noble was. His look said everything that he didn’t say out loud. And speaking of looks, Nina gave both their Professor and Eiji an unimpressed one at the mention of a potion for focus. Nina’s mind rarely wandered where it shouldn’t and the very idea of taking a potion without a need was utterly revolting. Surely the potion would have a negative effect if taken without a proper need. Perhaps it would lead to some sort of bodily desensitization?

We should make an elixir to induce euphoria,” because none of their suggestions sounded at all stimulating.
