The words felt like a tidal wave amidst a calm lake.

Seith might have been aware of just who Leonel was, but it wasn't until Empress Fawkes spoke these words that this information was suddenly known to everyone else. Whether it was the unranked or Ranked Arm students, the Division Heads, the Feather Sword warriors, or even Winged Star Order himself, they all felt as though time had frozen in place.
