No matter how chubby he looked, and no matter how low a Baron's noble title ranked within the grand hierarchy of aristocracy, Finch was still a noble by birth and by right. And if there was one thing nobles were inherently good at, it was recognizing opportunities and seizing them without hesitation. There wasn't a single opponent they wouldn't challenge, nor a single situation they wouldn't exploit if there was even a flicker of advantage to be gained.
That was precisely what Finch was doing now. He had seen an opportunity, a small one perhaps, but valuable nonetheless, and he had instantly latched onto it with the efficiency of a seasoned merchant. He didn't know whether any of the other students here possessed spatial affinity or a teleportation ability of their own, but it was better to act first, to claim the opportunity before anyone else could. Once he took the lead, others would hesitate to contest him.
