The response was unanimous and loud from everyone.
Sebastian's smile deepened at that.
After the last monster beast incident, the academy had lost several outstanding students. Naturally, they were far more cautious this time.
To ensure safety, both he and Miel would follow along. Their role was simple: protect the students when truly necessary, and otherwise give them room to grow.

"Good," Miel said. "Go back and make your preparations. Tomorrow, we gather at the academy gates."
"Yes!" everyone answered.
Zora turned and headed toward the dormitory. To be honest, she'd only just heard about the blue mission today. And that too, a bit too soon after a beat tide? She couldn't help but find it slightly suspicious.
