Damian arrived at the shooting range where he usually practiced his Omega Point weapon art, the familiar grounds now serving a completely different purpose today.
When he stepped through the entrance, he saw almost thirty students already gathered and waiting for him, including Edrin, Lysa, and Ronan standing prominently at the front of the group.
The moment the students noticed Damian's arrival, the atmosphere shifted dramatically.
"Boss has arrived!"
"Good afternoon, Boss!"
"Even though I've reached E-minus rank now, I still feel completely overwhelmed just standing near Boss's presence."
"I wonder what rank he's currently at. He must be way beyond us by now."
"Is it just me, or does Boss get more handsome with each passing day?"
"Stop drooling, girl! That's embarrassing! Ew!"
As soon as the assembled students saw Damian enter the shooting range, they all became visibly excited as they greeted him with genuine enthusiasm and respect.
