When John expressed his desire to lead, Archibald's face went pale.
This man... why would he want to be a leader?
He had heard that John always preferred solitude and detested these affairs.
Why was the situation now completely different from the information he had gathered?
Archibald had realized from the start that John was in the same fortress as them.
He had still stepped forward, banking on the information he had gathered.
John was a loner, having only joined Hidden Stars before, but even that group had disbanded.
Afterwards, he participated in the assessments at Star Cluster Academy.
Such a person should detest these complications, so why was he now stepping up to compete for the position?
Archibald's grip on his staff tightened involuntarily.
He was a fire-based magus, but he had already heard of John's formidable reputation.
This man... was unpredictably strong and seemed to have a terrible temper.
