As soon as he took out the various energy stones and crystals, the attention of the teachers and the judges was drawn to him. However, the students that were around him were in a confused state right after he was enveloped in that protective barrier.

"That boy…"
Even their teacher Lady Cleo was surprised when he covered himself with that shield and took out those uncommon stones.
