As Caleb observed the aftermath of the transcendent shadow's battle, a sense of accomplishment filled him. The reactions of the students and soldiers were a testament to the awe-inspiring nature of the encounter. Amidst the chatter and discussions, Caleb's thoughts turned inward, and he began a silent monologue about the advantages of letting his shadows fight on his behalf.

The shadows acted as an extension of his will, and their intangible nature made it impossible for observers to discern the puppeteer behind the scenes. This level of anonymity provided Caleb with a layer of security, shielding him from unwanted attention or scrutiny.
