Alright, let me introduce you to the protagonist, the hero of this novel—meet Alex Leonheart! Now, you might be wondering what makes this guy so special, so let me give you the inside scoop from my authorly perspective.
First things first, Alex is the grandson of the legendary Sword Saint. Yeah, you heard me right—the Sword Saint! That means he's got some serious swordsmanship skills running through his veins, and trust me, he knows how to handle a blade like a boss.
But hold on, it's not just his sword skills that make him a standout hero. Nope, Alex is also blessed with good looks that could make even the most handsome movie star jealous. I'm telling you, it's like he's got that dashing charm that can make hearts skip a beat. The ladies swoon, the guys want to be him—it's a whole vibe.
But wait, there's more! This guy's not just some pretty face with a sharp sword. Oh no, Alex is a true idealist. I'm talking about the kind of person who dreams of making the world a better place, one heroic act at a time. He's got that unyielding belief in justice and honor, and it shines through in everything he does.
When I created Alex, I made sure to give him all the qualities a real hero should have. He's got the courage of a lion, the strength of a titan, and the heart of a true champion. There's no challenge too big, no injustice too daunting—Alex is always ready to step up and do what's right.
As I walked up to the podium, a sudden realization hit me like a ton of bricks. "Wait, who the hell am I narrating to?" I thought, feeling a little bit confused. But hey, I guess I've already started, so might as well roll with it, right?
Now, let's see... What kind of speech did the original Richard give that made the protagonist hate him? Well, it was a real doozy, that's for sure. He was so arrogant, it was like he believed he was the king of the world.
Now let's start off, just like he did.
"Ladies and gentlemen, teachers, and my fellow students, Today is a momentous occasion as we embark on this exciting journey at our new academy."
He started off by reminding everyone that the principal had announced him as the first in the entrance exams.
"I must say, the principal couldn't have chosen a better person to welcome you all here. That's right, she announced that I scored the highest in the entrance exams, and I can assure you that this prestigious position will remain mine until the day we graduate from this fine institution."
Oh, but that's not all. He went on and on about his amazing achievements, like he was reading from his own personal trophy shelf.
"Now, I don't mean to boast, but let's face it—I'm on a whole different level. From acing every test to breaking records left and right, my brilliance knows no bounds. And it's not just the students who recognize my genius—teachers themselves bow down to my intellect."
He took every opportunity to rub his success in everyone's faces, like he was auditioning for the role of a supervillain.
"I know some of you may find it hard to keep up, and that's completely understandable. After all, not everyone can reach my level of excellence. But hey, I'm always up for a challenge, so feel free to try your best to catch up. Just don't be too disappointed if you fall a bit short."
"But let me remind you all that I'm not here to gloat or put anyone down. No, my goal is to inspire each and every one of you to strive for greatness. You see, I firmly believe that competition brings out the best in people, and I have every intention of leading by example."
And then, just to make sure he had fully secured his place as the most disliked guy in the room, he threw in some not-so-subtle jabs at his fellow students.
"Now, some of you might be thinking, "Wow, he's really full of himself." And you know what? You're absolutely right! But in a world as competitive as ours, a little bit of confidence can go a long way."
Oh boy, it was like witnessing an ego trip of epic proportions. The protagonist, of course, couldn't stand him—and honestly, I can't blame him. I mean, who would like someone with that level of arrogance?
"So, as we embark on this incredible journey together, let's remember that we each have our own unique strengths and talents. While I may be the top of the pack academically, I'm sure each one of you has something special to offer as well."
"Let's push ourselves to be the best versions of ourselves and support each other in our endeavors. Together, we can achieve greatness and make a lasting impact on this academy and the world beyond."
But you know what they say, pride comes before a fall. And let's just say, the original Richard's attitude definitely had some consequences down the line. But for now, I guess I'll just continue like this and see how it all plays out.
"Thank you all for your attention, and here's to an unforgettable and inspiring time at this academy. Let's make it one for the history books!"
