But today, it was different. He was active and he fought before he even defeated his enemy.

The old man had seen through Flare's thoughts and his fears. He couldn't help but smile.

Though Flare was hungry to become stronger, he doesn't want to become a monster. This is an aspect that the old man liked the most in Flare.
