The situation was desperate, and Elena couldn't make a choice despite she knew she had to.
Eventually, her fear for the future of the team outweighed anything else.
"You say here," she slowly rose from the ground, walked towards the outside, "I'll stop them to the best of my abilities. Once the ten minutes end, make sure to avenge me."
"You…"
Ben never expected to be met with such a situation while being a student in the academy. He watched Elena walk out of his tornado with determination that bordered on insanity.
She was fully prepared to throw her life to save John and Cissel. Ben would have understood it if there was no other option left. But there was a safer path, yet Elena didn't even consider it.
"Does safekeeping the secrets of the team and her friends value way more than her life?!!"
Ben was shocked, and he couldn't decide what to do. His job now became to stand behind and keep the pillar of purple fire hidden.
