That reputation has already cost her; she has been banished, food and supplies are scarce, and the husband and children she is now attached to want nothing to do with her. What she has that they do not know about is a hidden space stocked with supplies, more than the settlement outside can find in a season. She starts using it carefully, feeding people and trading, while the family watches a woman they hate behave in ways the old Sevyn never would, and draws its own conclusions about why.

Seven women who trained with him and rank above him as elder sisters stand at his back. Sylvia Quilter, the eldest, runs a corporation and keeps everyone at arm's length. Cher Lusk works inside the martial alliance as a strategist and tells nobody what she is doing. Frost Shelton flies international routes and knows people in airports everywhere. Rebecca Joyce is a doctor and heads her own private hospital. Yasmin Lewin livestreams and has a large audience for it. Fiona Sherman came out of an assassin network and does not discuss her past. Willow Lester acts in film and television and has won awards for both.

Class Change: Slime Crushes DragonsI awakened a beast that the whole academy rated the weakest SSS-rank in its records, a slime, soft and squishy and bouncing back into shape whenever it is pushed. People treated the creature as good for nothing, and even tamers at my own rank looked down on me over it. The system in my head had said nothing for a long time. It came on with a warning about a catastrophe on the scale of the world ending. The ones who wrote the slime off end up regretting it.
