Rachel, standing nearby, saw what was happening.
She quickly sent everyone else away, then gently closed the door.
She wanted to keep anyone from barging in and disturbing Gauss.
She knew Gauss was in a profound state of enlightenment, the kind of opportunity that came once in a lifetime.
This was a critical moment.
In fact, the reason she had made time in her busy schedule to train Gauss was to help him take up a second Class Rank.
She just hadn't expected the process to begin so soon.

Completely immersed in the changes within his body, Gauss could no longer sense Rachel's gaze.
He felt the blood in his body surging like crashing waves, pounding through every part of him in wave after wave and making him unbearably hot.
