In the Epic of Gilgamesh, one person left an especially vivid mark.
He was the teacher of Gilgamesh, the Heroic King. He gave her all the treasures in the world and guided her to become mankind's oldest and wisest king.
He was also the guide who gave the clay figure Enkidu humanity and led him to Gilgamesh.
He once traveled to the ends of the world and sought the immortal herb.
He also committed mankind's oldest act of betrayal: assassinating the arrogant goddess of the heavens.
His name was Chu Xingshou. He was the first knight of humanity recorded in the oldest epic, and the teacher whom the Heroic King cherished most throughout her life.
Though neither of them ever confessed their feelings to the other while they were alive.
"Long time no see."
In 1990, in Fuyuki City, Chu Xingshou, now a Heroic Spirit, gazed at the familiar golden-haired girl beneath the moon. To celebrate his reunion with the King, he gave her the final exam he had been unable to administer before his death.
"Time for your test, silly girl. Don't think becoming a Heroic Spirit lets you get out of it."
