With his eyes closed, he could hardly sense that the figure sitting on the ground was a person at all. It felt more like an incomparably sharp sword!
Alya scratched her head.
Though she couldn't make sense of Gauss's current state, seeing that he was safe and sound put her completely at ease.

the energy around Gauss seemed to reach a certain peak.
It began to spill out.
Rachel stood like a sturdy wall, silently shielding the three behind her.
Then she looked at Gauss, her expression full of disbelief.
