But what about Arasaka Masamune?
No matter what, his age of over two hundred years is evident, and as Fusang's former ruler, even though he's relinquished power now, over a hundred years ago he was indeed in his prime.
As someone of high status who established a giant enterprise, didn't he cultivate his own abilities? As Fusang's second in command, even if he didn't reach Seven-Star, he shouldn't be this weak.
Or does it mean from the start, he gained Heikawa's trust through his outstanding ability to manage various affairs, rather than being skilled in battle?
But judging from the stern aura just now... it doesn't seem that way.
"...Is it injuries?"
Arasaka Koichi pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.
"That's part of the reason, but it's not as simple as everyone imagines."
"Foster father... was also a very outstanding genius, possibly second only to Lord Heikawa."
