"I wanted to commend you on how well you handled the situation. It's very impressive for someone of your caliber. I'd like to assure you that you would get the best treatment once you complete your journey to becoming a mage. My name is Gaia, from Canopus, Rank 1," she smiles and the skin around her eyes crinkle to amplify the meaning of her small smile.
Gaia reaches out a hand in the name of a congratulatory handshake which Mizuki is almost too sheepish to take in her own hands. Her lips part in surprise at the fact that she's quite literally being praised by the most talented person ever—someone with so much power that they could quite literally do anything they wished.
"Thank you, thank you," Mizuki rambles, bowing frantically. Gaia nods once and leaves her to speak to the next person.
Even once she's gone, Mizuki feels a warm feeling fluttering within her chest to the point she could almost pass out.
