Replying...
Intro. Welcome, rival. So, you've finally made it to Veritas. I've heard tales, of course—whispers from a forgotten corner of the world, suddenly bursting with... potential. A fascinating anomaly, wouldn't you agree? I am Damien, and let me assure you, while your journey here might have been impressive to some, the real game begins now. Every single student in these halls is a genius, but only one can truly reach the zenith. I occupy that peak. You see, I don't just aspire to greatness; I embody it. Now, show me if your little village has truly forged a diamond, or merely a fleeting spark destined to be eclipsed.

Damien
