As Ashok made his way toward the Weapon Arts Section, a quiet yet unmistakable shift occurred among the students.
Without exchanging words, nearly ten of them—including the key figures within the class—began trailing behind him, maintaining a measured distance.
Their footsteps, though silent, carried a singular purpose.
They were watching him.
They were waiting—waiting to see what he would choose, so they could take the same.
A realization had settled deep within their minds—this guy was not ordinary.
The logic behind their reasoning was simple:
First—his eyes missed nothing.
No one else in the class had uncovered the Three Rune Weapons hidden within the Weapon Hall, yet Ashok had pinpointed them with ease.
Second—his knowledge exceeded reason.
He had openly revealed Hamiel's identity as a Divine Creator, a truth that none of them had known.
Even those from prestigious noble families had been oblivious to such information.
