Before long, the escaping apprentices gathered near Mireya.
"Everyone, hurry up and flee."
"Yes, that person has already sent a warning. If we don't escape, we're dead."
"Don't dawdle, let's go, lest we anger that person and end up implicated."
"Exactly, if you're really unwilling, you can fight for it in the other two areas."

Listening to these words, Mireya pressed her lips together, raised her right hand, and a blue-green elemental pillar shot up into the sky.
This was the signal for retreat.

If he couldn't scare them off, he'd have to fight while retreating and find time to recover elemental energy along the way.
