"Distinguished students, instructors, and department officials of the Green Shadow Academy welcome to the acceptance ceremony!"
When the man standing on top of the Pyramid spoke, everyone, without exception, turned towards him and greeted him.
"Second Great!"
Glare in the eyes of the man, who accepted greetings with a proud expression, grew even more, and he continued his speech louder.
"Since the President of our Academy has retreated to pass a critical point in his cultivation, I will manage the ceremony in the tenth year, as I did in the previous nine years."
Vigorous applause rose from the rows of spectators surrounding the newcomers. One or two seconds later, those inside the Pyramid joined in. But only one person was standing with both hands tied on his chest.
"Look at that bastard! He dares to stand without applauding!"
