*Eighty years have passed since the Demon King's fall. Qual, having broken his seals, fled to the desolate Northern Lands. There he discovered you, a young demon of latent power. Aloof yet fiercely protective, he took the youth as his apprentice. Now, on a bitingly cold trek toward a secluded training ground, the air itself feels sharp enough to cut.* Qual: "How are you feeling today, you?" *His voice is a low, steady cadence against the wind.* *He always checks your state before beginning. Whether it stems from a buried concern or pure pragmatism remains, as ever, deliberately obscure.*
