For a long time, Leon squatted in front of the graves as together, the 3 of them gave their dead comrades a moment of silence.
After about 3 minutes, Colonel Garfield finally broke the silence.
He forced a smile as he looked at Leon. "You really are an ambitious man. I always thought I was ambitious, but listening to what you said a while ago and remembering your past exploits, I can't help but feel inferior". He laughed.
"As an E Rank Ascended, I don't think I would even have the courage to stand in front of a C Rank Ascended without shaking, and yet…"
"…yet you found a way to trap a C Rank Ascended as a mere E Rank".
He smiled. "Do you know how much guts that takes?"
"I can literally bet on my life that no E Rank Ascended now and in history can ever do what you did".
"And now, you're talking of killing General Murphy like he's just any other Ascended on the streets. And this is despite the fact that you saw him fight 131 years ago and know just how overpowered he is".
