Nhazul Hatake did not start out as a cold and violent individual, only through the act of pain, agony, weakness and betrayal, did he start to become cold...In order to return home to his sister. He swore he won't let anyone or anything stand in his...
It was currently dawn at night, shortly before the sun begins to shine, there were two shadows, one sitting on the rock, while the other standing next to him. It was Nhazul and Igris, who woke up early. While staring off into the horizon, Nhazul's mind couldn't help but wander to the words of Aiko she had told him weeks ago.
(Flashback)
Aiko: But I'm glad. I'm glad you both found new friends that you both could count on. But the life you both are trying to live, I believe that it's a very lonely one. I'm sure that it won't bring happiness to the people you both hold dear. If you wish for happiness, then remember something important that you already have. Compassion for your fellow man. Please don't throw it away...
(Present)
Upon thinking about those words from his beloved Sensei, Nhazul would simply sigh.
Nhazul: Rather than the labyrinth, I gave priority to Shea. Although it's only been a few weeks, it's strange to think that version of me prior to her words would've definitely left them to themselves. I guess I should be grateful this didn't happen back then.
Igris: ....
Nhazul would then towards Igris, the closest to the System out of all his soldiers currently. Igris would turn his attention towards Nhazul, simply tilting his head.
Nhazul: I'm sure you'll be able to talk once your grade goes up, right? Iron, Tank, Fang and Blades's ranks increased to [Elite Knight] after gaining this [Black Heart]. However your power barely increased at all. Guess that just means you're at the top of the peaking order in terms of all the [Elite Knights] within my ranks.
Igris: ....
Nhazul had so many things he wanted to ask Igris. Of course, he couldn't hear any answers from his trusty Knight yet. Igris replied with silence, as usual. If silence could be seen as words, then wouldn't he qualify to be the most talkative soldier in the whole world? Nhazul smirked to himself and scratched the side of his head.
Nhazul: In any case, I'm looking forward to your inevitable rank up to [General] Grade. It'll be nice to have someone else to talk to other than Beru. He can be surprisingly wise at times, but at the same time annoying and overboard...
Upon hearing this, Igris would simply look towards Nhazul surprised. Not only by his words, but his gradual shift in personality compared to when he first met him.
???: Regardless of his rank...
Without warning, Beru would emerge from Nhazul's shadow on his own, approaching Igris.
