"She was right…" Number One muttered while viewing the city from a nearby hill. His gaze fell on the Selection Academy in the middle and he sighed while finally walking back.
The meeting with Rose caused a few ripples in Number One's mind so he needed some alone time to sort it out. She made him realize he had already changed his approach to life and he wasn't even aware of it. He could risk his life and even didn't care if he died in the process but that wasn't the case anymore.
"I never gave up before so why would I give up now?" Number One questioned himself on the way and began doing what he did the best: adapting no matter what situation he was put in.
Rose was the one bringing him trouble all the time but she was too powerful to face her directly. Number One had to either get stronger on his own or gain enough help to protect himself. He was naturally in favor of becoming a powerhouse himself but his Soul Arts were too predictable.
