Being S-Class as a first-year student automatically made him notable.
Furthermore, news about him being the guild master who triggered a manifestation made him infamous.
A green-uniformed senior stepped directly into his path.
"You're the Power Guild master?" he asked, his tone curious rather than confrontational.
Arthur nodded. "Yes, I am."
The senior's face broke into a genuine smile, extending his hand. "It's an honor to meet you. I'm Barron Whitehall, a second-year A-Class. I've been hoping for a chance to introduce myself."
Arthur shook his hand, taking note of the two lines on Barron's badge that marked him as a second-year student.
'He's probably trying to jump on my ship before it sails,' Arthur thought. 'Still, a second-year A-Class student could be useful. Well-connected too,"
"Pleased to meet you, Barron, my name is Azarel," Arthur replied with warmth. "I'm always glad to make connections at the Academy."
