"My master?!" Hinata's reply was immediate. It wasn't as though he didn't want someone as powerful as Noctis to train him, after all, he knew nothing about the world beyond the wastelands, but the problem was how a ghost was planning on training him.
Absalom gave a cheeky smile. "Of course, your master. If you sign a contract to obey me for the next year, I'll make you into a being that far surpasses me."
Hinata thought over his words for a long moment.
If it was truly possible for Noctis to train him, he might have just stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter. Not only was Noctis the former owner of the shadow core, but he had reached a realm far above what normal awakened could and was strong enough to leave wisps of his spirit inside that core, wisps that had been mistaken for a god.
However, Hinata knew he couldn't sign a contract with Noctis, considering how unhinged the man was. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility that he could very well torture him.
