From MC's Perspective:
"Head, your return has made everyone sigh in relief," said the bulky wizard.
"Walter, you can withstand those guys on your own. My presence doesn't make any difference," Head Howard responded with a smile.
However, none of the council elders believed his words. For Stella, Paul Lin, and Walter—the bulky wizard from the Earth Elemental Department—everyone felt a wave of relief upon seeing the Head back on campus.
Walter, one of the council elders, was aware of the ongoing faction conflict. He felt the burden had been lightened despite Head Howard's humble words.
Meanwhile, I noticed the gazes of three wizards directed at me. Although they were seniors based on their years of study, I didn't feel any threat from them, so I met their gaze directly.
