”I am happy that more than seventy of you were among the top one hundred scorers. And we even got the top one and top two. And like promised, the top scorer will receive a gift from Wolf King himself. Roan Argentos, follow me towards the headmaster's office.

Santharus smiled at the whole class and called for the top scorer of the exam.

Roan's classmates flashed their thumbs up at him. Although they were jealous, they were still happy for him.

Inside the headmaster's office, a silver-haired man wearing a silver wolf mask can be seen sitting elegantly like a noble prince. He was holding a piece of paper with a young man's face and background written in full detail.

'I was right all along, Roan Argentos or should I say, Colonel Argentos, who died a year before me during the ambush of the demi-humans on one of our main base camps. A hero who stalled for a bit of time just to allow a few thousand survivors to escape.

The more than several million occupants of that base camp were supposed to die, but because of your efforts, more than a few dozens of thousands were able to escape.

To think that I will see you again here my war comrade.' Cale in his Wolf King persona thought deeply. His emotion was full of nostalgia as he recalled the former Colonel Roan Argentos.

”Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!”

He cleared his thoughts after hearing the knocks.

”Come inside.” He spoke calmly.

Two silhouettes went inside the office. One was a man in his late twenties, Santharus. And the other one was a young man in his mid-teens, Roan.

The latter had a look of excitement after seeing the legendary Wolf King in front of him. After seeing him on tv and hearing his achievements, he became the young man's idol.

”Wolf King.” Santharus bowed his head lightly with respect. Roan followed suit and bowed with reverence.

”Wolf King, this kid is Roan, the top scorer of the academy's first exam,” Santharus spoke in a proud tone of voice while glancing at Roan.

”Good job on teaching this promising young man. He is even already at the initial stage of the C-Class level, impressive. Are you here for the reward?” Wolf King spoke, his voice contained clear praise.

Santharus nodded his head.

”Yes, Wolf King.”

”Hmm. Come here, Roan.” Wolf King gestured Roan to come near him. The former's gaze was nostalgic, but none were able to interpret it. And only Cale will know that the young man in front of him was one of the best fighters of the Alliance during his past life.

Roan eagerly walked towards Wolf King and waited for him to speak. He could not even feel the man's strength. It was like he was just an ordinary man, but Roan won't be fooled by this.

”Before I give you your reward, promise me that you will never tell anyone about what you have seen here in this office.” Wolf King smiled mysteriously at Roan. The latter involuntarily nodded his head in response.

”I promise, Wolf King.”

”Good.” He knew that a man like Roan would never betray him and his promises were worth like gold, so he was not worried about him leaking news of what he saw.

Wolf King took out a wooden box and opened it slowly. Inside the box was a gun-shaped light. Roan felt the strength contained by the light. It made him feel and insignificant.
