Marcellus, Cedric, Aelius, and Javier were stunned, hearing how smooth Heres's answer was to the 'simulation'.

"Wow."
"That was smooth."
"Damn, you have talent. Despite being the most silent among us."
"Yeah, I agree with what little brother said. Heres, you really have a talent for this."
Heres swiped his hair with a half-gesture, his hand pausing at his forehead as he flashed a charming grin. His eyes held a confident sparkle. "Well… this is what confidence are about. I might not be the strongest among us, but in this~ heh~" He showed a thumb and finger, gesturing a small distance. "Easy~"
