Chapter 7: Reasoning
Ryuji didn't move his blade neither did Neuro move. Everything was in completely silence. As for Akane-chan, she was been put to sleep by Neuro so that she would not get hurt when he was fighting. Well, Neuro do take care of his possession very seriously. By abusing it, of course. But he will never let anyone except him hurt or broke his possession because they were only meant for him and they were not for sharing. They were only for him. His thought went away when suddenly Ryuji shuddered, leaving him in complete confusion. What's wrong with this incompetent human? He thought himself but still he didn't understand what's wrong with the man whose blade penetrated through his shoulder.
"Are you still gonna fight me, Takano Ryuji? Or you wanted to give up?" asked Neuro. Still there were no answer came from Ryuji's lips. Neuro then examined his attacker from the top of his head till his feet, finding a clue of what happen. Ryuji was like he was trying to cope with Neuro's strength. He was shuddering very hard. Well, to compare a demon's strength with just a mere human, it was like heaven and earth to compare to. That comparison is far enough. Ryuji is just an ordinary human with no weird cell abilities like Sai, does not has an army of controlled human like HAL, does not has the ability to control the element of Mother Nature, and of course does not has anything similar like Sick had. But, why did he choose to attack him? There was no reason of doing so. Neuro was not sure himself whether to just ignore his attacker or not. Still it wasn't like him to just ignore the one who dared to attack him. He locked his heavy gaze inside the man face. Ryuji finally had the courage to take out the blade and began to move away far from Neuro's grab. He was gasping for air as if the air around him was totally sucked to Neuro.
"What's wrong with you? Totally withered away I guess." Neuro looked at his attacker feeling less anxious about him.
"No… I was just trying to determine the total strength that you posses. It's not likely the same that I have been told by someone that had encountered you. You miasma seems very different." Ryuji made his words. Neuro just smiled at him and acted as if it was a normal thing that a normal person would say. Even Sasazka said that once, but he didn't remember exactly when. This person seemed to be interesting just like when he first encountered Tierra. Well, it's the same feeling that he was having right now. Either this man was completely an idiot like Tierra or may be less than him. Neuro went to stand the way he likes to stand when being with Yako. Occasionally, he put his hands in each other and wrapped around his lanky body. It was the only way of making him comfortable as his arms are much longer than normal human as he was taller. It also tends to make him more powerful and higher by just looking at his posture. His gaze was totally a look down to his attacker. He never looked high to human. Well, of course for normal human ability. He only said that he was only interesting on how much human can evolve to solve their problem also producing more delicious mysteries to him. Well, in that term he quite approves that. He also looks high on Yako's potential. The only thing that Yako could do for him that was to explain about human emotion. And that he was quite grateful.
