Delia's answer was expected. It was never unclear how much she disliked Combat Magic and the ways of a 'Traditional Mage'.
Eloise was not as expected but not all that surprising when one takes into account how averse she was to combat situations.
Caius felt she wouldn't be dropping Combat Magic though. She only said that because she was currently in the Combat Magic Classroom. There were other subjects Eloise wouldn't mind doing away with. Subjects she had even less of an interest in compared to Combat Magic.
That was how it had been in [To Kill A Demon Lord…] anyway so Caius couldn't be entirely sure how it'd turn out this time since his interference in the story might have caused things to change.
Moving away from that train of thought, the Mid-Semester Test and the implications it had for their future were the least of Caius's worries. Not in the academic sense anyway. He looked off to the side to where Aurelius was sitting with Doran and Baler Khione.
