The news of Michael's victory against the Blood Witch spread like wildfire.
It took less than ten minutes before Lincoln, and Kaleb gave him a call to question him.
He expected some calls, but he didn't accept any. Instead, he told them to meet at the cafeteria since he was hungry.
Michael was a little exhausted – more mentally than physically –, so he called them over to talk while he would fill his empty stomach to the brim.
On his way to the cafeteria, Michael noticed that some students looked weirdly at him. He tried to isolate his mind and ignore their gazes, but the respect and fear he sensed was too intense to ignore completely.
A sense of pride filled Michael's heart the longer his fellow students stared at him. This didn't change even after the lingering gazes disappeared as he entered the cafeteria.
