"Thank you for the help back there, Reina."
Still in my Ian Crow form, I was walking aimlessly in the city, just trying to spend as much time as I could before returning to Academy Island.
Reina, sitting on my shoulders stayed silent. Though, I could tell she was happy and glad by how her feet went back and forth, hitting my chest lightly.
Back then, when Nuria gave me a cold stare, the pressure of what felt like gravity was stacked on me. That should have been making me choke breathlessly if not for Reina's help.
Her hand was holding my finger at that time and I could feel some sort of energy, like a mental barrier, covering my body.
Though, I had no idea that despite being in her weakest state, Reina could reinforce me with a barrier that could handle the pressure of the Octagram heroes, who if not the strongest, at least stronger than your average student.
"You should at least say something. Are you okay?"
