again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for Time, he noticed the gazes of students were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike last time, where they looked at him as if he was a fraud, they stared at him in awe, fear, and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The past changed.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They respecting me now because they saw me overpower Morrigan with a single
