Headmaster Jean didn't show any reaction after Vale revealed his intention. He didn't even feel surprised that he really wanted to save Philip at all. The Headmaster seemed more curious about Vale's motivation to save Philip.

After thinking for a while, the Headmaster shook his head.

"Even if it's you, it's too dangerous. You might die there, and I can't let that happen. Heinz will surely blame me if something happens to you. He may no longer send us his next experiment—I mean, new apprentice, if you died there. Your future is limitless, and sending you out on a dangerous mission is too early. Only 9th-year and 10th-year students are allowed to take such missions." Headmaster Jean replied.

"Wait… Does it mean there's already a mission sent out to save Philip?" Vale asked in shock.
