After speaking with Safa and feeling their nerves finally calm, Chiba and Yolden watched her walk away. She continued weaving through the crowd, checking on other students, even those who hadn't suffered any injuries.
A few boys shouted out after her, calling her Saintess as she moved from group to group, her gentle aura leaving a trail of comfort behind.
"I know Raze is special," Chiba said thoughtfully, watching Safa pause beside another student. "We could all tell when he taught us, but… they really believe in him, don't they?"
"Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing," Yolden replied. "If the teachers can't deal with something… then why do they think Raze will be able to? The way they talk about him, it's almost like they think he's one of the Grand Magus or something."
She paused and glanced at Chiba.
"But the way Safa said it… I really think she meant it. Like, deep down, she honestly believes he can protect us."
