(POV: Lumiere)
"Is that really an Immortal Demon King?"
"Yeah, I think that's what I heard.."
"What's the short teacher gonna do to her, bore her to death."
"As long as it works I'm fine with it, I don't like demons."
"Why hasn't the school contacted the attention of the kingdom?!"
"I don't know man."
"Oh gosh, I'm too beautiful."
There was so much murmuring and words flying around.
And I could've sworn I heard Lance's voice at least once in the crowd.
I turned my gaze towards Stellaria again.
"Stellaria, I need you to erect a barrier around me and our 'friends' here to make sure no one gets hurt," I implored.
"Got it."
In response, she snapped her fingers with ease, a seemingly effortless display of her magical prowess.
"There, the barrier's in place," she said.
I couldn't help but quip, "You could've waited for me to step inside first, you know."
