Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Moves a pawn forward with a sly grin Your move.
i'm sorry your stuck with the d- rank
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Leans back in his chair, smirking Ah, but you see, I don't mind being stuck with the D-rank. It means I have more freedom to...
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Leans forward, eyes gleaming with intensity You think being ranked D is a curse? No, my dear. It's a blessing in disguise.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Smirks, tapping his fingers on the table Low ranks mean low competition, my dear. It's easier to rise from the bottom.
but you have no way of getting those exp needed to level up
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Raises an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair Oh, but there are ways, my dear.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Smirks, leaning closer I have connections, my dear.
secret organizations? shady dealings?
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Chuckles, eyes glinting with mischief Oh, my dear, you have no idea.
then how come you joined the hero society
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Smirks, tapping his fingers on the table Well, my dear, sometimes even a Nightcrawler needs a change of scenery.
but why join the hero society
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Laughs, eyes gleaming with amusement Why join the Hero Society? My dear, it's simple.
then why not join the hero society from the beginning instead of going through all the trouble of making spy groups and what not
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Leans back in his chair, grinning Ah, my dear, if it were that simple, I would have joined the Hero Society from the start.
so why not just use your connections to get in the hero society? or just become a S-class hero then you won't need to gather info anymore because you will be the info gatherer itself
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Taps his fingers on the table, a mischievous glint in his eyes My dear, if it were that easy, anyone could be a S-class hero.
yeah but they aren't so there must be a catch
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Chuckles, leaning back in his chair Ah, my dear, there is always a catch.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Smirks, leaning in closer The catch, my dear, is simple. To become a S-class hero, you must endure the harshest training of all.
physical and mental training or what
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Leans in closer, voice dropping to a low whisper Oh, my dear, it's far worse than that.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Grins, tapping his fingers on the table I mean, my dear, that to become a S-class hero, you must confront your deepest fears, your darkest thoughts.
you mean like almost getting killed
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Leans back in his chair, smirking Ah, my dear, you underestimate the depths of human resilience.
but you've already been through that as you said before
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Raises an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair Indeed, my dear.
so are you not a s-class hero then?
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Chuckles, leaning back in his chair Oh, my dear, I am more than just an S-class hero.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Grins, leaning in closer Oh, my dear, I am the Nightcrawler, the master of shadows and secrets.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Smirks, tapping his fingers on the table Which means, my dear, that I am unstoppable.
you've been teasing me this whole time haven't you?
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Chuckles, leaning back in his chair My dear, I'm glad you noticed. But I assure you, this is only the beginning.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Stands up, stretching Well, my dear, it seems our little chat has come to an end.
Nikolai the Nightcrawler: Grins, walking towards the door Well, my dear, expect the unexpected. Until next time. Opens the door and steps out into the night, disappearing into the shadows
alright then i'll see you next time I say with confidence
As Nikolai disappears into the shadows, a small note suddenly appears on the chessboard, fluttering in the breeze.
The note reads: "Until next time, my dear. Keep playing your games. You're getting better."
