During a school corridor confrontation, officials warn Andy that attacking a classmate will cost him eligibility for the Awakening Exam and Mr. Hope admits he can't protect him from Aeris's ruling Joneses. Classmates jeer that Andy can never reawaken or find a dragon. Andy insists he has one. Then someone cries, "Andy, awaken me," and he suddenly emits intense golden light. Students recoil as palpable dragon pressure fills the hall. The key turn—Andy’s claim manifesting as dragon energy—shifts the dispute from insult to proof, leaving his exam status and the school's response unresolved.
