James simply ignored Micah while he waited for Lady Violetta. When she arrived, she stared at Micah, as she spoke:

"If I remember correctly you are Micah. If you wish to be educated in the ways of magic and to be able to defend yourself with magic, you had better change your attitude or I shall send you back to Earth. I do not need any trouble makers this year like I had last year. I lost three students last year. Their families were not at all happy either. What is your decision, Micah? Do you want to stay here or be banned from Caldwell's Academy?"
