"Swoosh—" Lilia suddenly sat upright.
Being dispatched as one of the three major cannon fodders clearly indicated she wasn't given much importance. Her situation was somewhat similar to Bennett's, being essentially a third-level wizard apprentice who had lost the opportunity for promotion but still possessed decent combat abilities due to her prolonged time at that level.
However, Lilia had no influential backing; her reliance was solely on a unique type of frost-related witchcraft she had created.
But even the most powerful third-level wizard apprentice was still just an apprentice. If there was even a sliver of chance to become a formal wizard, Lilia would not give it up.
Moreover, although she appeared quite young, this was just a method wizards used to change their appearance. In terms of actual age, she was probably the oldest among the three wizard apprentices.
