'That wasn't so hard,' Azel thought as he stretched his arms above his head, feeling the tension finally leave his body.
His shoulders cracked lightly, and he let out a long sigh. With all the studying and knowledge he had absorbed, the exam wasn't as terrifying as others made it out to be.
If anything, it almost felt easy.
He could say with confidence that he had aced it, sure it was with a skill but it counted as effort too .
Surprisingly enough, Reinhardt was the one who usually topped the exam in the original story.
The guy was a study freak , someone who practically lived with his nose buried in books since a Hero must be well-versed in everything.
Azel had to push himself and ensure he outdid him.
But he did.
He was certain of it.
'There are a lot of perks that come with being Number One,' he thought, his lips curving into a faint smile.
