Azrael immediately understood what Cleopatra was saying.
The other students in the school weren't like him. They weren't orphans with no backing.
They all knew that in order to grow stronger, they would have to kill Lesser Daemons, so most of them would have already started to train on their own to grow their Divine Core as much as possible.
Although Divine Academy was also going to give the students a chance to kill Lesser Daemons during the training exercises, why should they have to wait for the school to provide them with a chance when they could go ahead and do it themselves?
It was the most sensible thing to do.
But another question came to Azrael's mind after this realization.
He glanced at Cleopatra curiously. She still had her confident grin in place, like she could read his mind without even trying.
Cleopatra spoke.
"You want to know why I'm helping you, don't you?"
Azrael waited for her to continue, and Cleopatra didn't disappoint.
