CHAPTER - 52

  Narrator: Videos of censored individuals started appearing on social media, along with comments insinuating that Dav De Lion did not deserve the current top 1 spot, but rather Azrael Kingsley did.

  For many days, this continued, with news even reaching TV, parliaments, and governments.

  As much as many hated Dav for his brutality, no Italian would ever be convinced that the current top 1 should be Azrael Kingsley instead of Dav.

  Thus, a war erupted across social media, with comments from Italians and Americans clashing.

  Even high-ranking national heroes from both Italy and America argued anonymously on social media using fake accounts, completely unaware of each other's true identities.

  Debates in the American and Italian parliaments escalated, urging them to resolve the issue.

  The social media wars and parliamentary disputes continued for days.

  During class, Dav grew increasingly furious whenever students got distracted, looking at their phones instead of listening.

  For days, the only questions were:

  "Professor, why don’t you respond to these people?"

  "Why don’t you challenge the current top 2?"

  Dav always answered in a calm and composed tone:

  "Why fight someone without reason?

  Why not focus on the real problem? Fighting monsters, not ourselves."

  These words earned even more respect from his students.

  When someone recorded the moment and uploaded it online, the video spread worldwide.

  The whole world felt embarrassed for inciting hate after watching the video of a man who had shed blood for them ten years ago.

  "Azrael Kingsley, I am sure he is a truly strong man, and I thank him for protecting our world during my absence."

  These words brought hope and joy to those who watched the video.

  Even Azrael Kingsley, upon seeing it, responded with a video of his own, thanking and respecting the hero for his humble words.

  Days passed, and everyone seemed bored with the lack of a duel between their professor and Azrael Kingsley.

  Even professors and other academy staff speculated on Dav’s guaranteed victory.

  When these conversations were recorded and anonymously posted online, another war broke out.

  Americans began to believe that the academy where Dav De Lion resided was overconfident in his victory.

  Meanwhile, Dav, watching TV while picking his nose, felt bored with the endless news coverage and the lack of interesting movies.

  Sitting on the couch with one hand in a bag of chips and the other picking his nose, he kept switching channels.

  News, talk shows, heated social media debates… the same old story.

  Then, suddenly, he stopped on a channel: a documentary about him.

  "Dav De Lion: The Hero Who Changed the World!"

  On the screen, epic battle footage played, accompanied by interviews with experts describing him as an unparalleled warrior.

  The solemn narrator declared:

  "A man, a legend.

  The one and only hero who strikes fear even into the gods!"

  Dav slowly chewed on a chip, sighed, and switched the channel without hesitation.

  "What a pain..."

  On TV:

  "Even fate itself fears Dav De Lion!"

  With a blank stare, he tossed the remote onto the table and muttered:

  "Who writes this nonsense..."

  Just then, the director, Vittorio, entered his room for a beer night, honoring their previous bet.

  Holding a beer in hand, he sat next to Dav and looked at the screen.

  After a few seconds, he burst into laughter:

  "Oh, this documentary is awesome! Look, they’re making you out to be an invincible demigod!"

  Dav shot him a glare.

  "Turn it off."

  Vittorio, amused, grabbed the remote… and realized it wasn’t working.

  "Uh… it’s not working."

  silence

  Dav sighed, stood up, and… unplugged the TV from the wall.

  End of the documentary.

  The Director: (Drinking seriously) What will you do about Azrael Kingsley?

  Dav: (Looking at him) Nothing. I don’t care.

  The Director: (Laughing) That’s a mature choice.

  No reason to do it, in the end.

  (Curious while drinking) Have you heard from Matteo since last time?

  Dav: (Disinterested) Probably busy with his guild.

  The Director: (Thinking) Well, he must be busy managing a small guild…

  What was it called again? Right, 'Onyx Blade.'

  (Asking) "Would you come with me tomorrow to visit my wife and daughter at the cemetery?

  I’d really like you to meet them.

  Dav: (Genuinely happy) Of course.
