Kyle strolled back to his house, a faint grin on his face. After the chaos in the classroom and the overwhelming results, he was finally alone, away from the buzz of his peers.
As he opened the door, the familiar sight of Void lounging lazily on the couch greeted him. The dragon lifted its head, golden eyes gleaming with curiosity.
"You're back," Void said, stretching his little form. "Took you long enough."
Kyle chuckled. "I've got some news for you."
Void tilted his head, waiting expectantly.
"I took first place."
The dragon blinked before letting out a low, satisfied hum. "Of course, you did. I wouldn't expect anything less from my human. You're finally living up to my standards."
Kyle rolled his eyes. "Your standards? Pretty sure this was all me."
"Sure, sure," Void replied smugly, his tail flicking in amusement. "But you can't deny I've been a great influence."
