The British mage slipped out of the limelight as quietly as possible, but disguising the glee in her eyes was next to impossible. She was trying very hard to keep professional, but it was getting harder and harder. She just needed to slip into the background nice and quick. One step at a time. Calm expression, calm expression...

Aaaaand muffled sound of glee the second she thought she was out of obvious view. Still quiet, but if you were within a foot or two, you couldn't miss it. Or the discreet psuedo-fist pump of victory. All casually, as if simply part of a stretch. She kept the grin mostly contained, and went back to looking (mostly) composed as soon as she cleared her throat. Using two Face cards had been pretty draining, but definitely worth it. She didn't do much to hide the deep breath, get her breathing good and under control, or even bother hiding what she said quietly to herself. It was in English, no one was going to understand her.

"Well, that wasn't so bad. [i]Not too bad for self taught.[/i] "Standards are a little odd, though."

The other mage approaching managed to catch her a little off guard, though. Too caught up in her little bout of glee. Hadn't missed any more exams yet, thankfully. Time to refocus. She shook the other mage's hand and switched back to Japanese, giving a faint, polite smile. "Rebekah Cross. Good to meet you, Sakamoto Haruka."
