Even saying it aloud sounded ridiculous.
He had awakened only recently, and now they were entrusting him with a responsibility of this magnitude? If not for the man's usual impassive expression, Kyle would have dismissed the whole thing as some elaborate joke.
"Hmm, I understand how it sounds, but that's the conclusion we reached after a long discussion," Pascal replied calmly. There wasn't the slightest hint of hesitation in his voice, as though placing the lives of special grade warriors in Kyle's hands was the most natural decision in the world.
Kyle wasn't underestimating himself.
He simply understood the gap that still existed between strength and experience. Carrying such a burden demanded far more than raw power.
"Why me?" he asked, keeping his voice as steady as he could.
Pascal let out a quiet sigh and leaned back in his chair.
