She escorted him to a facility near Akademeia, where he began training his small frame and honing his skills. In 842, Eight took part in the campaign to fend off the invading empire. Impressed with his performance, the administration assigned him to Class Zero.[-1_2][-1_2]Unlike his classmates, Eight despises all forms of weaponry because they trivialize the human lives they take. He has a keen perception of everything happening around him which allows him to make wise judgments on the fly. Even though he tries to keep his emotions in check at all times, Eight also has a bit of a competitive side—it's not a height complex, though!<#>

<id1091272#>[-1_12_1]An Old Entry from Eight's Journal[-1_13][-1_2][-1_2]I hate weapons, especially the really powerful ones. Weapons dull the pain you feel—not just from getting hit, but from hitting others, too. If we have to choose our weapons, then I'd rather abstain.[-1_2][-1_2]I asked Mother about it, and she told me I could do as I saw fit. She outfitted me with a pair of gloves and new shoes, and what a world of difference they made. I can already tell my left hook will come out faster. Thank you, Mother. I'll take good care of these.<#>

XIII, 825[-1_2]Height: 6'1<Q>[-1_2]Weapon: Spear[-1_2][-1_2]Hoping to channel his abundant energy into something more productive, Dr. Al-Rashia moved Nine to a facility outside Akademeia at the age of eight. There, she offered him a rigorous training regimen. Still somewhat uncontrollable, Nine joined the sortie against the imperial army in the Rubrum Liberation of 842 and annihilated all who stood in his way. The administration took a liking to his tenacity, and designated him a Class Zero cadet.[-1_2][-1_2]Impulsive and very intense, Nine shoots from the hip and doesn't really worry about the consequences. In fact, he prides himself in his ability to act without overthinking—even though some of his classmates chide him for not thinking enough. Nine rebuts, however, that his seemingly rash decisions usually work out for the best...most of the time, anyway. He has a hard time dealing with situations that aren't black and white, and he'll break whatever he needs to in order to make clear what's right and what's wrong.<#>
