The Decisive Memory
Kahn faced Elric who was not even half his height at this point as the latter finally decided to make a change in his life, embedding a spark of striving for betterment in his mind.
"You just saw that even if you're weak… you can still fight back and protect yourself, didn't you?" he asked while exuding a charismatic aura.
Elric nodded in response, feeling elated for the first time.
"I'm not always going to be around. So in the end, it will be you who has to take a stand for yourself.

"What is the purpose of you becoming stronger?
Will you run away while facing hopelessly intense training?
Or do you want to face discomfort and pain for now to become strong in the future?" he questioned solemnly.
