'This... this is different.'
The thought occurred to White as he rode through the massive gates on horseback.
All around him, a massive crowd rapidly gathered, singing praises of his name, adoration visible in their eyes.
'This is very different.'
It was unlike the first test, when he had been a Royal Guard with everyone looking at him in fear that he would kill one of their own.
This time, from what he could hear, he was a beloved and heroic commander, a man of the kingdom, and even his own soldiers greatly respected him.
It was a significant positive change, but all of it only made White even more wary.
He raised his hands slightly, clenching and unclenching them, his brows furrowing lightly.
'My strength... it's gone once more.'
He mused to himself.
His current strength was just like at the beginning of his previous test: the Star Realm, barely above the standards of a normal human.
