Neuro and Skybrand walked into the AA-rank lounge.
The room went quiet, eyes turning to watch them.
Both looked tired, with scratches and bruises on their arms and faces.
Skybrand's wings were folded, small tears visible in the edges.
Some heroes stepped closer, their eyes wide.
"Skybrand, are you okay?"
Skybrand took a breath, her face steady.
"I'm okay, just a bit hurt."
Neuro's gaze moved across the room, his visor flickering.
He took a step forward.
"Everyone, gather around. I need to share something important."
He crossed his arms and stood tall, his tone serious.
"It's a bit unexpected, but we need to rethink the way we see the Heavenly Demon Sect."
The heroes looked at each other, uneasy.
Neuro continued, his voice calm but sharp.
"They're way stronger than I thought. They're not just a gang of villains."
Skybrand wiped sweat from her forehead, her hand trembling slightly.
"They're not just strong," she added.
