An Amicable First Encounter

"What?" Chunhua was caught off guard by the Stormfleece girl's passive reception of her. "You can...recognize me?" she questioned in awe. "Even when I'm"—she swallowed anxiously, glancing down at her tiny, princessy feet—"like this…?

A worthless little kohai with no powers!

The redheaded girl gave a crooked grin. "Well, I can sense you're still the same person with the snotty vibe"—she gestured with her hand held horizontally flat in the air, impishly winking and grinning—"just a bit shrunken down."

"Snotty!" Chunhua squeaked. "How so?"

"Like you're a spoiled princess, expected to be waited on by everyone."

"That couldn't be further from the truth!"

"Is that so?" she asked, receiving a fiery nod. "Then, are you suggesting that everything I've come to learn about Cultivators is untrue?"

"I worked tirelessly at officer's the academy, in order to secure my position!"

The Stormfleece then cast her a glare.
