In the Hokage's Office, Shin glanced at the documents in his hand, then at the middle-aged man standing before him.
The bright green jumpsuit was especially eye-catching.
"You're Might Duy, right?"
"Yes, Lord Shin." As soon as he smiled, two rows of white teeth appeared, and his thick eyebrows even twitched.
Shin was somewhat speechless. Facing such an oddball head-on, he felt his sense of aesthetics rejecting the man before him.
