After winning the duel with Ray, Ash came into the spotlight of the academy, everyone had started to at least feel a sense of fear around him, because of how Ash behaved—cold and distant towards everyone... though deep inside, he was working on it, trying to change, trying to learn how to act with the same level of respect and warmth toward everyone, regardless of their standing.
But... even though he was making the effort, no one really knew. No one could see that side of him.
So, the videos of Ash and Ray's fight were receiving way too much attention in the Academy Forum even after more than a week has passed by.
The feed was blowing up, comments exploding faster than popcorn in a hot pan.

"Ash is like a damn monster, fr. One time I saw him up close, and my whole body just… froze. I've never felt that kind of fear—not even during my first monster encounter.."
