Leo pondered for a moment, then said, "Wizard Saffi, could you give me some time to consider this?"
"You may. You are this year's new student, and you still have to face the Great Summons. Once the Great Summons is over, if you can return alive, give me your answer."

Then, Saffi's spiritual energy vanished, and the box closed once more.
Enchantress and the other two immediately kept a certain distance from Leo.
