Heavenly Favor

The little woman's test, too, had a series of pillars just like this. She had called herself the Favor Alchemy Sky God… now that he thought about it, being allowed to place the word Favor in your title must mean something quite extraordinary. 

What was even funnier than that, though, was that everyone who had decided to take on this test was formed into a line. It seemed that the third round hadn't even begun yet, which actually meant they had all been waiting for Ryu. 

What a shame. If he had known that, he would have taken all the time he wanted. Why would he have accelerated his pace just for the comfort of others— 

BOOM! 

Ryu's thoughts were whisked away from the unhappy stairs of the many he had just heavily injured or fought barely a day ago.
