Khan had always known he was unique, and Bruno's comment further confirmed that thought. Humankind had a limited understanding of mana, but the evolved warrior was one hundred and fifty years old. Giving him a first had to be worth something.
The urge to dive into Bruno's knowledge invaded Khan, but he temporarily suppressed it. As curious as he was, he didn't trust the evolved soldier.
"I never understood something," Khan announced. "The evolved warriors are humankind's highest fighting power. Why do they serve families or Generals?"
Bruno's brown eyes showed a hint of surprise before understanding the issue. He had studied Khan's life. The latter was a man with no flag or home. His family name was nothing more than something picked up alongside his many achievements. He had never relied on a single source of support, either, making his confusion reasonable.
