A scout jogged back toward the center of camp.
"There are five of them," he reported. "Two support types. Three combat."
"Who's leading?" Elara asked.
"Armani."
Armani is leading?
So he wasn't just the leader of the scout group.
Elara seemed to have realized as well, but she didn't comment on it. There was no point.
"Fine," she said. "Nobody says anything stupid."
"That eliminates half the class," someone muttered.
Some students laughed, but it was weaker. Despite that, the tension loosened.
Elara pointed toward the outer edge of the camp. "Ronan. Mira. Sapphire. With me."
Sapphire looked up immediately from the rune station near the riverbank.
She still looked exhausted from maintaining the water formations around the base earlier, but she stood quickly anyway.
At the moment, Sapphire was the reason class B was so productive.
Quite frankly, she was constructing every single rune almost.
