[[File:Shu reminisces about Mathiu.png|thumb| | [[File:Shu reminisces about Mathiu.png|thumb|right|220px|All just because he wrote "Odessa Rulez" on the blackboard]]Shu is a brilliant man and a first-class strategist. While studying under [[Mathiu Silverberg]], Shu met [[Apple]] when the latter was 11 years old. He came to think of her as a little sister, while Apple was taken in by Shu, developing a crush on him. | ||
Though taught by Mathiu Silverberg, Shu followed a different ideology than his teacher, preferring to use his knowledge for profit. Shu and Mathiu were unable to get along and Mathiu eventually expelled Shu. Shu never saw Mathiu again. | Though taught by Mathiu Silverberg, Shu followed a different ideology than his teacher, preferring to use his knowledge for profit.

As a strategist, Shu had absolute confidence in his abilities, and was sometimes seen as a boor because of his strong belief. However, as he knew human habits and emotions better than most anyone else, it could be said that even this was an affectation designed to enhance his prowess as a strategist. | As a strategist, Shu had absolute confidence in his abilities, and was sometimes seen as a boor because of his strong belief.

[[File:Shu rejects forgiveness.png|thumb| | [[File:Shu rejects forgiveness.png|thumb|left|220px|Easier to not care about forgiveness than to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission]]Shu did whatever was necessary to guarantee the success of the [[New State Army]], including sending [[Pilika]] with a rescue party during a peace conference ambush in [[Muse City]] and asking [[Kiba Windamier]] to take on a suicide mission during the attack on the [[Matilda Knightdom]]. In many ways, his ideology was similar to [[Leon Silverberg]]'s, though the two had not met prior to the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Shu's thoughts on this gradually changed as the war progressed. | ||
In the end, Shu did not consider people as pawns, which he considered Leon Silverberg's attitude as a strategist. Leon equally disliked Shu's attitude, considering Shu's talent wasted. Shu was even prepared to give his own life for the [[New State Army]], although he was rescued by [[Viktor]]. | In the end, Shu did not consider people as pawns, which he considered Leon Silverberg's attitude as a strategist.
