"No wonder she was able to win." Andre looked at him with some concern, "But now, I'm afraid Cynthia has set her sights on you too. She's not an easy character to deal with."
"This kind of thing is nothing to worry about. As long as you stand out, you will definitely be noticed." Ron waved his hand dismissively.
"Instead of worrying about her little tricks, better focus on preparing for the exam. Once we pass the Alchemist certification, many of the issues we currently face will be easily resolved."
The two chatted a while longer about their progress and various intelligence within the school, then Andre stood up to take his leave:
"I won't disturb your exam preparations any longer. If you need any help, feel free to send someone to find me."
Ron escorted Andre to the door, "You should also work hard and focus on preparing for the ceremony. The real test is in a month's time."
