- Uncle Rhododendron... Quite an unusual fellow. He's one of the so-called followers of the primal path: in short, these are people who try to live without relying on the benefits of civilization, thereby avoiding its "shackles"; they live by the law of the jungle and all that. Nevertheless, he always had a good relationship with the Father. Honestly, following him into the forest is quite dangerous, because in the past, when he went alone to Sangvinaria, he became known as the "predator from Sakuramoria"... The thing is, he settled in their forests, placed a bunch of various traps there, and hunted military detachments that tried to eliminate or at least drive him away. I don't know if it's true or not, but from what I've heard, he collected the skulls of his victims, hung them around his waist, or made something like totems, and for female opponents, well, I think you get the idea. In general, the forest is his specialty.
-- My obligation is related to the safety of the students, and in this case... If you are right, then we are risking a dozen lives. I personally don't see the point in staying put if there are enough committee members and soldiers left at the school to provide security, but I will do as you say.
