Klaus had spent his entire existence as a puppet, bound by the strings of fate. However, a miraculous turn of events granted him a fresh start. The remnants of his former constraints smoldered in the ashes of his past. Now, unshackled and determined, he resolved to forge his destiny according to his own desires. No one, not even a deity, would be spared if they dared obstruct his path. Klaus was ready to wield the sword of vengeance and carve his own fate in the annals of history.

Klaus didn't react right away, letting the murmured challenge hang between them. The man with narrow, watchful eyes—one of Team 55's more experienced members—stood with arms folded, clearly unconvinced by Klaus's one-sided victory in the sparring circle.

Kalix, the White Lion's captain, watched from a short distance. He was visibly amused, as though any further confrontation was a welcome bit of excitement in his hectic routine. "Looks like someone wants another match," he said lightly, glancing between Klaus and the squad member.

But the man shook his head. "Not a match. Not yet." His gaze shifted back to Klaus. "Strength alone doesn't make a leader. That's what I'm looking for."

A few members of Team 55—still recovering from the assessment—exchanged uncertain looks. Some clearly admired Klaus's overwhelming skill, while others harbored doubts about whether he could truly guide them.
