Main Character's Path

"I... I have the same idea as student Adrian." Aurelius spoke, his gaze shining with resolve and will. "I plan to forge my own path. A path that isn't dictated by tradition or expectation. I've always believed that true strength comes from walking a road that no one else dares to take, and I intend to do just that."

The classroom was silent as Aurelius spoke, his words resonating with a conviction that was hard to ignore. The students, who had been snickering moments ago, were now listening intently. Even Mrs. Ardent seemed taken aback by the unexpected solidarity between the two.

Adrian, however, wasn't surprised.

After all, Aurelius had a powerful ability, affinity with all the elements, talent, and hard work, whatever you could hope for. So, Aurelius saying this had a clear impact rather than his.

Besides, he knew Aurelius well—perhaps better than anyone in this room. After all, Aurelius was the protagonist of the novel that Adrian had once loved.
