Chapter 9: An Introduction to Normal Conversation

The whole class remined silent for a few minutes before their instructor came. A lecture progressed as Shinji looked out the window. His vision unfolded a busy scholl ground. People were walking about the place in a myriad of directions. With his newfound supreme strength, he felt as if he could easily squash the innocent pedestrians walking about.

To be quite frank, Shinji was still encountering strange new phenomenon within him. New manly urges have suddenly introduced themselves to him, bringing about a more masculine persona in the viagra-induced superhero.

Shijni proved his newfound manhood by picking his nose. It was an honest spur of the moment thing, he didn't even notice it was the first time he did something like that. He brought the piece of human anatomy before his vision, examining it. After a few seconds of looking at it, he started to sandwich the thing between his index finger and his thumb. He then started to form the collected booger into a minute ball of grossness.

"Where to put it..." He wondered.

After a few seconds, he suddenly flicked the small ball in a random direction.

Just as soon as he flicked it, a walking man suddenly fell flat on his face. It seemed as if he was hit by something in the face. His impact made a loud noise, which captured the attention of the nearby school building.

Everyone in class was surprised by this sudden sound and they all stood to tool out the window except Asuka. Shinji was also flabergasted at what happened, knowing that it was his fault. He looked at his fingers with glee as he had discovered a new pastime for himself.

The event didn't take up much time. As soon as they stood up, the instructor had them all seated back.. As the lecture resumed, Shinji wlaso resumed thinking about whatever it was he was thinking about.

"How does she do it?" He said to himself, staring out to the open, it was blatantly obvious that he wasn't paing any attention to the alarmed man approaching him.

"Ikari!"

"WAH!"

Flatfooted, he seemed.

"Would you mind answering me what is half-life?" The instructor requested, giving Shinji a sinister smile. The boy rolled up his pupils in a desperate search of an answer.

(I'll shoot another renegade boogie bullet at this punk) He thought to himself. His mind quickly started to rummage through whatever stuff there was in there.

Then another thing happened.

"Half-life refers to the period it takes radioactive materials to lose half of their original radioactive potency."

"Did I just say that?"

It seemed as if Shinji's viagra accident had not only brought him supernatural strength, but also an amazing IQ. He even surprised himself with it.

Bedazzled, the instructor acknowledged the answer and went back to the lecture. Several heads look back at the overnight genius with perplexed looks on their faces.

The class then finished a few more hours after the incident with the question. Students rushed out of the school in a matter of seconds. Asuka tsayed away from Shinji, motivated by fear. She quickly grabbed her bag and quickly left the place. Shinji remained seated for a few more minutes, as if waiting for something.

Or someone.

"Rei."

The girl just turned around to meet Shinji.

"Can we talk?"

"It is alright." She responded.

The two started walking out of school, engaged in what seemed to be a one-sided converstaion.

"Ummm... about this morning..."

"Something draws your concern from it?"

"Uh, yes. It just got me thinking. You see..."

"You're... different."

"I mean, if I was in your place I'd have slapped her silly."

"My actions were inappropriate?"

"No, no."

"I am vexed."

"Well, it's just that it amazes me how you do it! I know you already answered my question earlier, but it still intrigues me. How do you keep so calm in front of such stressing situations?" He asked, keeping a steady look at her face as they walked down the street. The lok on her face was identically similar to the look she had during the whole day. Shinji had taken that perfectly into account and it just astounded him.

"Were you confused by my previous response?"

"No. I'm just really curious about it.. How do you not care?"

Rei was a bit taken back by this question. No one has ever asked her a question more than once. Neither has anyone ever asked for a deeper and more comprehensive answer from her. Her eyes widened a bit, and Shinji saw it.

"I'm sorry, did I offend you?" He suddenly asked. He too was experiencing something. His mind was now syddenly aware of anything he gave slight focus to. He found himself talking to himself while he listened to her short replies. A whole new world was opened to him. He was even psychologically analyzing Rei's answers.

The fact that Shinji noticed this quirk added to Rei's surprise. She was completely caught off-guard by this gesture.

No one had ever apologized to her.

"N-no." She answered. This sudden attack had her mind on the run. She now didn't have a clue what to say, which was another first for her. Thoughts then started shooting into her, causing her to think all sorts of things.

"Are you alright?" Shinji asked, which was brought about by his sudden concern for Rei's sudden shocked look.

"Y-yes, I-I am alright."

Surprised, she was by this. Only now in her life had she been treated this kind of way.

Suddenly, a warm feeling bubbled up within her. It was only a small dose. The look on her face changed as more thoughts went through her.

"This doesn't look like a good time to be talking isn't it? You seem troubled. What's up?" Shinji asked, The viagra drink had also made him a gentleman. In his mind was a clear rule at that time. His attitude had been set right by that drink..

I am with a woman right now, act proper.

"Rei?"

"Huh?"

With a last blast of willpower, she mustered all her brainpower to come up with am answer.

"May we talk some other time, pilt Ikari?"

"Oh, ok. Do you have some place to go to?"

"No."

"Why don't I walk you home? I promise I won't talk.."

(How did he know my function is due to his inquiries!)

(How the heck did I know that I was causing her this?)

She was now stunned, but her will was still keeping her sane. She turned to him and looked at him.

And there somwthing else happened.
