"I don't believe it! That little runt finished before me?!" Talia protested.
"It is quite surprising though, to think he was the first... That's a little..." Ana also added.
They doubted the possibility of Shamac ever beating them.
"It's true. He was here just a moment ago, but he said he was quickly going to use the restroom for a bit. Oh wait, there he is." Nadia said, pointing behind us.
We all turned back and saw Shamac waving nervously at all of us. I could tell he was very satisfied and pleased that he finished first, but he was trying to hide it. Plus, he probably had mixed feelings about finishing before me. However...
"Congratulations Shamac, it looks like you've once again proved yourself to be worthy of your mantle" I told him with a smile.
"Haha... You flatter me. Besides, if not for you... If not for it I wouldn't have been able to pass so easily" He muttered awkwardly.
