I stepped onto the stage and faced the students. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, waiting for my farewell speech. I also saw Arsene and King Aslan nodding at me, showing their trust.
I took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and gathered my courage. Finally, I slowly began to speak.
"I am Naoki von Blackmore, standing here as a representative of the third-year students of Braveheart Knight Academy. I never expected to be given this opportunity. That's why I want to say this to all of you—you are incredible for making it this far and graduating today."
As I spoke, my confidence grew.
I could see the faces of my friends—Lyra, Freya, Amelia, Marius, and the others. They looked happy to see me delivering this speech.
Seeing them made me smile. It brought back memories of my past life on Earth.
