Adam was completely unfazed by the brewing storm of hostility that was coming from the upperclassmen.
He turned his back on them once more. He addressed the crowd of nervous first-year students. His voice was calm and resolute.
It was as if the four powerful factions standing right behind him didn't even exist. He was ignoring them completely.
"To every student who decides to join The New Warriors," he announced.
His voice carried a strange compelling authority a power that made everyone want to listen.
"I assure you of one very important thing. You may not receive special privileges or resources from the Academy like the other groups do. But you will be guaranteed something that is far more valuable than any of that."
The first-year students leaned in closer. Their attention was completely captivated by his words.
They stared at Adam with an intense curiosity. They were hanging on his every word wondering what he would say next.
