"Thank you, Sir Gabriel... this wilderness excursion is the safest we have had in years," said the headmistress when the students returned to the capital.
"I'm glad to have been of help," replied Gabriel with a subtle nod.
"Oh right — I remember I asked you to evaluate the students," the headmistress said all of a sudden. "Although Instructor Clair gave me some names, I want to hear your opinion."
"Whether it was due to this being their first time participating in this activity, most of the students were very careless, and if not for my timely intervention most of them would have lost their lives," he said.
Headmistress Elira simply nodded; Clair had told her the same.
"However," Gabriel continued, "I think the only exception is... the otherworlder Samantha. She's the most promising student among the elite."
"I see." The headmistress narrowed her eyes and muttered thoughtfully. "Clair said the same about her. Two people can't possibly be wrong."
