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...
Upon saving Shizuku and confessing their feelings for one another, Nhazul would continue to carry a now sleeping Shizuku in his arms. After a few moments of walking, a section of the ice wall crumbled away, revealing a new passage. Walking through it, Nhazul would be met by Kouki, who still seemed to be in the middle of his trial.
Nhazul: Looks like he's not done yet...
Upon hearing his voice, Kouki turned back towards Nhazul, who had just walked out of the passage, carrying Shizuku in his arms. His gaze naturally turned to Shizuku, and her expression burned itself into his memory. She was sleeping peacefully with a relaxed smile on her face, her cheek resting against Nhazul's chest. Then and there, something inside Kouki had snapped.
Nhazul: Aman-
Before he could finish his sentence, a torrent of pure white light rained down on Nhazul. Standing before him was a familiar face. But he'd never seen that familiar face make such an unfamiliar expression. Kouki looked like a Demon as he leaped at Nhazul, swinging his sword down at him.
Nhazul's thoughts: Is he so engrossed in his battle that he mistook me for a monster or something?
Nhazul would look into Kouki's eyes, before narrowing his own.
Nhazul's thoughts: No, those eyes don't look sane... And his killing intent skyrocketed the moment he looked at me...
There was a madness in Kouki's eyes that made it obvious to Nhazul that the Hero wasn't in his right mind. Sensing that Kouki wouldn't stop, Nhazul leaped back to avoid the blow. A pillar of white light slammed into the ground he'd been standing on a second later.
It was obvious that Kouki had struck Nhazul with the intent to kill. Nhazul glanced over at Kouki's copy, who was grinning a short distance away. He then turned back to Shizuku, who mumbled slightly, but remained firmly asleep. He was both irritated and amazed at her ability to sleep through such a racket.

Nhazul: What the hell do you think you're doing, Amanogawa?
Kouki looked down at his sword, which was stuck firmly in the ground. His hair covered his face, making his expression unreadable.
Kouki: You... It...
Nhazul: What? I can't hear you. Look, we're not the enemy here, that guy over there is who-
Kouki: We?
Kouki jerked his head up, his eyes gleaming ominously from behind his hair.
Kouki: What the fuck is with this us and you bullshit? Shizuku doesn't belong to you!!!
Nhazul: Stop spouting nonsense and go finish your trial. Your opponent's over there, not over here.
Though Nhazul's voice was calm, he had a bad feeling about Kouki's current mental state. The Hero drew his sword out of the ground and staggered toward Nhazul, as his mana rose around Kouki as he prepared to strike again.
