AFTER NEOMA got her score for the written exam, she left the Royal Moon Academy to avoid Calyx Dalton who was trying to get chummy with her.
Unfortunately, she still didn't have solid proof that Calyx Dalton was a crow, so she couldn't make a move yet. Plus, it wouldn't be wise to be hostile to that boy since he gained the public's favor by showing off his face (that looked like a de Moonasterio) and his abilities (that rivaled the Crown Prince's).
Yes, the rumors that quickly spread already labelled Calyx Dalton as her rival.
If she attacked Calyx Dalton without a valid reason, she would just appear bitter. And she couldn't afford to ruin her reputation. Not when Nero was about to return to his rightful place.
[I have to protect Nero's place as the Crown Prince until he returns.]
