In truth, Hunter missions were not useless for one's studies. The more missions they completed, the more real combat experience they gained, and that was worth a great many points at graduation.
As someone of noble lineage, Ariana naturally did not want to become a wandering hunter. At the very least, she should be part of a noble guard and serve her family. But that was on the condition that her academic performance was outstanding enough…
Ariana almost refused on the spot, yet when she met Matthew's gaze, she could only fall silent.
"I… I understand." Ariana heard herself say.
Only then did Matthew dispel the barrier. He smiled and said, "Let's go. Silvanus is already waiting."
Looking at that face of his, no one would have guessed that just a moment ago he had wanted to kill Ariana.
Ariana pressed her lips together and instinctively quickened her pace.
