Ashton sat cross-legged on the grassy ground, still catching his breath after the intense battle they had just finished. The other members of Team 7 gathered around him, their expressions a mix of relief and fatigue.
"Wow, that was intense," Kaida said, wiping sweat from her brow. "I don't think I've ever used that much magic before."
"I know, right?" Elias said, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of lingering danger. "But we pulled it off. Thanks to Ashton's massive support of course.."
Ashton smiled modestly. "I only did what's expected of me. After all, I can't just stand there and watch you all die."
Roderick grinned, clapping Ashton on the back. "And your healing and your Aiding Spells were crucial. We wouldn't have made it through without you."
Leila nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that last demon was really tough. But thanks to you, we all made it out in one piece."
