To the outside world, Daniel's actions might have seemed like those of a man throwing caution to the wind—desperation disguised as bravery. But Alan knew better. After three years of studying alongside Daniel at the Royal Academy, he had learned to see through that quiet, gentle demeanor.

He paused briefly, then added with a faintly awkward tone, "In fact... according to our projections, you were supposed to be the first tier-3 among this year's new generation. But who could have anticipated—"
He stopped himself and quickly changed topics.
