The answer is "Alarm reaction".

Alarm response refers to the early stage of general adaptation syndrome; when someone’s body reacts to a jolt or motivation which it considers stressful, like in the above case Robin’s call for a speech. It will increase the Hormonal activities inside Robin’s body releasing cortisol as stress hormone and Robin will get a boost of adrenaline. This is no controlled response rather it is automatically triggered in situations.
