After another exhausting training session, Kawao and Koru made their way back to their rooms.
On the way, they talked about the events of the past few days.
"Do you happen to know what kind of Nyd Syd has?" Kawao asked.
"Not exactly.
But I’ve heard rumors!"
"What kind of rumors?"
"They say he might be the ‘Hero of Kurani.’
The one who saved and rebuilt the city during the last war.
If he really is, then the rebellion definitely has better chances of winning!
You’ve probably seen the mosaic in front of the city gates, haven’t you?
It depicts the story of what happened back then.
...
But if he really is the one, then he’d likely have a weapon-creation Nyd."
"Weapon-creation?"
"Yes, that describes a type of Nyd that allows you to create weapons—or objects in general—with your Nyd and use them."

"Sounds like a strong ability!"
"It is! But only if it’s really him."
A brief silence followed.
"Did you already know about Kenzo's Nyd?"
"No, why?"
"Just curious.
You seem to know more about the world than I do, so I thought you might know of some notable Nyd-users."
"I do know a few.
But she’s not one of them.
...
Although, her Nyd does remind me of another."
"Of what kind?"
"It’s just a thought, but her Nyd is quite similar to that of a powerful Nyd-user from my homeland.
He could also create staffs with a similar pattern and use them.
...
Could the two be connected...?
No, surely not!"
"What are you thinking?"
"I know you don’t know much about the Wars of the Lost, but in the second war, there was a very powerful Nyd-user who, according to legend, ended the war.
He wielded a staff that could split the heavens and the earth."
"What happened to him?"
"I don’t know.
He probably died.
That war ended over 70 years ago!"
"You think her Nyd resembles his?"
"Maybe.
It just crossed my mind."
Soon after, they reached their rooms.
Before Kawao could enter his, Koru stopped him.
"One more thing!"
"What is it?"
"I wanted to warn you about someone."
"Who?"
"You told me you’ve dealt with the Church of Madness, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then there’s someone in particular you need to watch out for.
Especially after everything that’s happened in Kurani!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"One of their bishops:
Muniorai.
He’s a madman who kills indiscriminately and leaves destruction wherever he goes!
They say he was involved in the invasion of Kurani during the last war and shares the same ideology as the ‘Demon of Kurani!’"
"Demon of Kurani? Who’s that?"
"He’s the one responsible for most of the destruction and deaths during the invasion!
After the war, he was executed as part of the peace treaty."
"And this Muniorai is supposed to be…?"
"Just like him!
Just as brutal!
Just as violent and insane!"

That same day, Sankesh left the city.
He had been assigned the task of escorting Makon to Kal Kakei.
