In the blink of an eye, two semesters had passed at Flame Dragon School. It was now Grand Line Era 1510. At the field behind the school, Rayleigh had summoned all the students of the Advanced Elite Class. More than thirty students stood neatly in two rows. The tallest among them was Nore.
Nore was now over four meters tall. Standing among the crowd, he looked like a little giant. His fiery red hair fluttered in the wind like a small flame, and paired with his bright, sunny smile, he exuded an imposing air. At eleven and a half years old, the Giant race genes in his body had begun to manifest, and his size was rapidly increasing.
The second tallest was Noah. Noah was now twelve years old and stood 2.2 meters tall, his entire body radiating a powerful aura. With a serious expression, he stood at the very front of the crowd. Looking at the lined-up students, Rayleigh said, "Today, the Flame Emperor will be visiting the school to inspect the students. Everyone, stay sharp and welcome this inspection properly."
Hearing Rayleigh's words, all the Elite Class students shouted, "Understood, Principal Rayleigh! We'll do our best!" Ashiru of the Revolutionary Army then asked seriously, "Will Lord Flame Emperor be coming? I'm really looking forward to it!" Then, spotting Noah, she asked, "Lord Noah, what does your dad usually like? Should we cater to his preferences and make Lord Flame Emperor remember us?" She smiled at Noah, hoping to get an answer from him.
Noah merely chuckled and thought for a moment before saying, "Other than women, my dad likes Devil Fruits. But after we grew up, he stopped liking women and only likes Devil Fruits." Nock shook his head and added, "He also likes whipping disobedient children."
