...Are you some kind of evil spirit possessing John?
Hearing Annan's words, Claus felt an extreme sense of reality...
Yes, he also knew the person "John."
To say that he was tactless and straightforward was a rather euphemistic way of putting it.
John simply couldn't understand the polite remarks of others, and you had to be frank with him, but then he would easily get angry; he was very loyal to Tan Juan, but beyond that, he had no merits... His swordsmanship was mediocre, he wasn't clever, he had a bad temper, and he didn't even possess the aptitude to embark upon the Transcendent path.
—He was just a blockhead.
And the kind that had offended many.
If you were to say that John was a spy sent by someone... although it wasn't completely incomprehensible, it always felt somewhat lacking in authenticity.
