I sometimes wonder if he realizes that I am not all that I seem. I don't think so, but you never know. I think he notices that I am harder for him to fight then I was when I first fought him, but I don't think he realizes why. His friends would never understand if he tried to tell them, I don't think. I guess there are some things you can only understand firsthand.
There they are. I better not get too close just yet. I don't want him to know I'm here. Not yet, anyway. He walks with his friends, but he seems apart somehow. Does he realize that he is different from them? Yes, at least somewhat. But I don't think he realizes it consciously. He'll learn eventually.
I will gradually become harder for him to beat, but I don't think he will view me as an enemy right away. Not even when I give him a full fight before he puts me in that thermos thing of his. By the time I fight him with all I have, maybe he will realize that I am more than just a nuisance.
I will never be able to truly fight him when he realizes his full power, but for now I am happy to push his limits for him. Each fight with him, I have let loose more of my capabilities, and eventually he will be able to beat me. But until then, he will see me as the nuisance that pops up constantly. I will probably never have his respect, but at least he will understand that even those with strange obsessions are not powerless.
Oops. I got too close. He sensed me. Oh, well. Time to put on my show. He will never respect me, but maybe someday he will realize that I am one of his teachers, too.
