For now, he put the unruly people out of his mind and removed his gauntlets. Then he patted Roar and played with him for a while.
Next he received the congratulations from Thompson, his students, and the overly excited Tyson.
During this event, he asked Tyson for the name of the guy that keeps making fun of him. Tyson gave him the name, which he locked away in the burning flames of anger in his chest for later.
He thought to himself, "Brian, huh? I hope I don't see him in any test. If I do see him, I want to see if he can still mouth off without the patriarch around."
Lastly, he went up to see his mother. She was still sitting where he left her. The only difference was that there was a smile on her face.
He went up to her and asked her, "How did I do?"
She shrugged and said, "Not had."
He smiled and said, "Not bad, huh?"
She replied, "I mean, I could probably do better. Luckily for you, I can't participate in the exam."
