Azzy wasn't asked to give any explanation about his actions or powers. Instead, the top brass rewarded him with 25 whole merit points, taking him by surprise.
As for how great those 25 merit points are, in case a normal member of one of the combat divisions would receive them, then, he could be promoted all the way to colonel, and even left with 4 merit points.
(Combat divisions: Commander/General > Lt. Commander > Colonel > Lt. Colonel > Captain > First lieutenant > private > cadet)
During the past ten or so days, Azzy had completed more than four missions of 7-star, and two missions of 8-star difficulty. The star corresponds to the level of difficulty that can be handled by an average Arcana Master of the same realm.
Even then, so far, he only got 5 merit points. And now, all of a sudden, he was awarded such a high amount for going against the demon, which even Cornelius couldn't deal with.
