Death-sensei is thus fine with his reapers prolonging people's lives on ocassion, and has even done so himself, as with the case of Alexander Fleming (who discovered penicillin, saving countless lives). So not only does Death-Sensei not punish Calli for saving someone, he gives her permission to continue doing so, and lets her go off on vacation.
