He clenched his fist experimentally, channeling his newly acquired skill. A faint crimson flame flickered to life in his palm, its heat intense yet oddly soothing. The flames danced with an otherworldly glow, radiating power, potential destruction and life too.

Asher extinguished the flame with a snap of his fingers and continued walking toward the S-Class dorms, his thoughts turning to the challenges ahead. "So, the better the rewards the better for me."

The roar of the crowd faded into the background as he disappeared into the corridor, leaving behind whispers of awe and fear.
