@Nicromatic It's not the nick name so much as the fact everyone and anyone is shit talking about the "lucky boy", the nick name is just a manifestation of his notoriety. White mages already have a bad rep for no good reason, if he was an anonymous white mage he could just tell the ones he trusts what kind of mage he is and let the judgemental asshats not know. Before they passed level 50 most people didn't pay any attention to his team on the gameplay screens. He would have a normal life then. But because EVERYONE knows he's the "lucky boy" he can't even enjoy a moment of peace walking in public.
@feha I think the reason they excepted the interview is because the newspaper has a lot of power and influence (he did make mention of that) and if they blow off and be rude the newspaper could create a even worse article slandering the whole team. I think this newspaper pretty corrupt and only cares about selling papers. So pretty much like most media in my country.
