He, who could only observe these geniuses from afar, wishing he could be as excellent as them, is now giving the genius a hard time. It made him want more; the power he'd received and the knowledge he'd gotten were now worth it, as was the sacrifice.
The association had provided him with a means to stand out from the crowd, and he would do anything for the organization that had given him a new lease on life.
Gill kept his distance and warded off his opponent with just minor yet precise swings of his blade as he moved quickly across the battlefield. At this pace, the longer the struggle lasted, the more Gill would benefit.
Gill, on the other hand, was well aware of his limitations. Even with the external assistance he has gotten, he is unable to compete with Lance at the same level.
