Albert Mertz was a hot-blooded young man in his youth. He was one of the men who received the gift of Cosmic energy thanks to his undying loyalty toward King Maxim Barnes.

"For now," said Hubert.

Hubert was taken aback by surprise. For some reason, Albert couldn't see the absolute resolve to win in his grandfather's eyes.
"General, what do you mean by that?" asked Albert.
