I find it disturbing that, in order to explain my skill in arithmancy, someone believes I must be blackmailing the professor. Last time I was supposedly using my sexuality - which of course as a woman is my only skill - to earn my grade. Now it is outright blackmail. Perhaps for having seduced him last month? It is not of course at all reasonable to believe that I could possibly just be good at such a 'difficult' subject as a woman on my own merits.
