The Last Stand
"Guardian Elder Shera..."
Kevin slowly reached out his trembling hand.
Halfway through the motion...
His strength abandoned him.
His arm fell weakly back to his side.
The battlefield echoed with explosions as swords clashed and Mana collided, yet Kevin heard none of it. His gaze remained fixed on the lone figure standing before Dario.
As the Head Chief Student of Celestis Academy, he had always believed he understood the personalities of each of the Seven Division leaders.
Guardian Elder Shera had always appeared arrogant, hot-tempered, difficult to approach, and merciless during training. Many students feared him more than they respected him.
But today...
Everything Kevin believed shattered before his eyes.
The man everyone thought cared only about pride was now willing to sacrifice his own life without hesitation for the sake of his students.
Perhaps...
They had never truly understood him.
Shera had simply hidden his concern beneath a rough exterior.
