All this laziness can't be good
for you, Schwann. Aren't your
skills getting a bit rusty?

How rude! My name isn't even Schwann,
and my skills aren't gettin' rusty,
tarnished, or anything else!

Then perhaps you'd be willing to go a round?

Oh, ya wanna rumble?

I surrender!

You don't have to surrender...

To think that Schwann Oltorain
could be bested by an
old codger like myself!

I told ya, I'm not Schwann!

...Well then, have it your way.

Alexei was a very capable man,
but he was too single-minded,
and lacked personal magnetism.

I'll bet that wouldn't even be news
ta the former Commandant himself.

In contrast, Schwann had a very
human personality. He was made
of the right stuff to lead others.

Oh yeah? Hah hah hah...

Hah...!

Because he was such a born leader...there was
something that I wished to pass on to him.

But if he's died, then I have
no one to give it to...

What's the thing you wanted to pass on to him?

The Imperial Knights' strongest arcane arte...

The technique that was used to wipe out so
many monsters at once in the Great War.

Wow, really?

Besides Schwann, there's no one else in the
Imperial Knights worthy of carrying on this legacy.

I may end up taking it with me to my grave.

...It doesn't bother you that
such an amazing technique would
disappear from this world?

Regardless...
I'm not Schwann,
after all, so...

...Argh!
I must reveal the truth!
I am Schwann's...brother!

Sheesh...
Do you really expect him
to believe that tripe--

So I'm askin' ya, Old Man!
Would you pass that technique on ta
me, in place of my dear brother?

Hmpf... All right.
Raven, was it?

I shall bestow you with the Imperial Knights'
strongest arcane arte, in place of your brother.

Make us proud.

Yes, sir!

I hope I don't have anything to worry about.

...I don't know what yer talkin' about!

Yeesh, wouldn't it be a whole lot easier
to just drop this Raven thing?

Whaddaya mean? After all,
I'm Raven! Who's this
Schwann guy, anyway?

Well, it's not like I care either way...
