Miss Benanis knew of Shard's concerns:
"I understand, but here it's just you and me. Am I supposed to let you handle it? That would make me a laughingstock in front of Galina and the others for years. Don't worry, though I'm considered one of those witches not adept at combat within the Council, I'm definitely Eleventh Rank and Eleven Rings."
Saying this, she gently hummed a tune. Without lyrics, Shard couldn't discern what song it was. As the song ended, he immediately felt a warm current spreading from his chest to the rest of his body.
[Mental resistance slightly increased for a short time, stamina recovery slightly increased.]
"I'm not great at combat, but I'm excellent at support."
Miss Benanis said with a smile, wanting to move forward, but was stopped by Shard. Hesitating for a moment, he handed his sword to her:
"Please take this; it will help you."
At this moment, there's no need to face danger just to conceal this sword, that would be incredibly foolish.
