The robot soon left, rolling down the hall and disappearing around a corner.
Zain stood there, ready to explore, but before he could take another step, someone appeared.
It was Neuro, the top AA-rank hero Blazren had mentioned.
Right behind him walked Skybrand, her eyes bright and watchful.
Neuro stopped in front of Zain.
His eyes scanned him calmly.
"Welcome, Heavenly Demon. This is your first time here, right?"
Zain nodded once.
"Yeah, it is. The bot told me about the rules and the facilities here."
Neuro's expression didn't change.
"Good. Hope you can rise to be a good hero."
Zain smirked and nodded.
"Thanks for that."
Neuro's eyes didn't blink.
"You're welcome."
Zain turned and walked away, heading toward the mission board.
His steps were steady, his mind already focused on the next challenge.
Skybrand watched him go, her eyes narrowed.
She turned to Neuro.
"Neuro, is his hero name really Heavenly Demon?"
Neuro nodded, his face still calm.
