Three figures approached Atlas and Kurogasa. The one walking in front stood out the most. The man clad in heavy armor with a deep blue base and silver accents.
The man's long blonde hair flowed in the wind as he walked, giving him an imposing, almost noble appearance.
As they approached, Kurogasa shifted back a step, settling into a position just behind Atlas. His movement signaled that he saw no reason to raise his guard. Whoever these strangers were, they didn't seem like enemies.
The trio halted a few paces away. The man in front offered a formal gesture.
"My name is Kaelzar, Rank-2 Scout. It's a pleasure to meet you, Atlas of Gacha Haven."
Atlas raised an eyebrow, intrigued that they knew who he was.
"Nice to meet you too, Kaelzar. I didn't realize a Rank-2 Lord would know my name."
Kaelzar gave a faint smile. "Well, your name has reached more ears than you might think."
