Seeing Yman in the barracks, everyone looked stunned. They were looking at him as if their time stopped for a second.
Then, a second later,
"T-The R-Rat Slayer…" someone muttered. After that, "Rat Slayer!" They suddenly gathered around him and called him in loud voices. "We saw it! We saw the competition! Congratulations on winning the championship!"
Yman could not even figure out which of them was saying that. Everyone was talking and most of them were congratulating him. There were also some who were thanking him for what he did when the commotion happened. Yman did not expect such a warm welcome from them.
Unbeknownst to Yman, in that competition, most of the members in the barracks were watching it live on a large monitor. They were pumping their fists every time he won and lamenting every time he looked hurt. Of all the contestants there, he was the most they could sympathize with because they knew how hard he worked before just to become stronger.
