"Th-there's someone walking through the fire!"
The flames clung to him like obedient pets. He strode through them with his outfit slightly scorched but intact. His hair fluttered. Lines of blood trailed from his eyes and ears, yet his expression was as calm and cold as steel.
One of the instructors whispered in disbelief. "Is that…?"
The system screens zoomed in.
[Identity Confirmed: Victor Revenant]
Gasps, cheers and shock rang out.
The flames died entirely, as if bowing in respect. Victor walked across the arena with slow steps.
"Impossible…" murmured an older student.
"That fire came from inside the waiting room… and he just… walked out of it?"
Elyra who had been praised for her high compatibility score moments ago, looked stunned. Even she had no words for what she was witnessing.
Victor stopped at the center of the Warrior section. "Sorry. I'm here now."
The instructor was too stunned to speak for a moment.
