"Is that why no spiritual beasts have tried to attack me when I was unconscious?" Claude looked at the surrounding area and realized that although he was near the dangerous locations of the Gryfino forest, he wasn't even approached by any spiritual beasts.

"Well, I guess I have to thank Senior Beldon now!" Claude said with a smile.
