Killers and advisors were two different people, and they each looked down upon each other The nameless killer also despised advisors, but he did not pursue that thought further except for soh his mind
"Advisors are redundant, and so is the Whiterobe Academy They exist due to the practice passed for years, like a knife scar or a wart left on the body But as time passes, they will become a part of the body&8221; The nameless killer mused
