Everyone from Mage class 1-B decided to follow Lumilia's plan after they heard Randolf's words. It opened their eyes, and they realized that they were like children in front of Souta, Bryan, and the rest of the people who had a life-and-death battle.
Well, Souta could understand them. When he just arrived here in this world, Souta was afraid at that time. He was afraid to fight and was afraid of this terrifying world. But Souta didn't want to die, which is why he fought and tried everything that he had in every quest that he got. He's always trying his best.
That's really simple. If his classmates didn't want to die, then they had to fight for it. They have to earn it on their own.
Randolf just smiled as he took a glance at Souta and Lumilia. He never thought that Souta would take Lumilia under his wing after that battle in Gripin city. Souta became her caretaker; that's what Randolf feels about them.
